two very noob questions, I think:

- if I want to try that kernel, or any other kernel, which partition(s) do I have to backup in TWRP? Only the "boot" one?

- (slightly OT): I notice that hellsgate kernel thread is closed and download links are removed, althought files are present in Kranoner's AFH folder. Do I have to wait any news?

Thanks!

WiFi password problem

I have a 63 character WPA2 key generated with upper/lowercase letters, numbers and special characters. I have about 10 devices on a home network-some manually entered-that I don't want to change. 15.1 is very nice except it won't accept the password, but WiFi works with a simple password. Interestingly, 14.1 did have this problem. In addition, this problem has apparently popped up on various devices for several years. Is there an unofficial 15.1 bug list where this should go?

I have a problem with this ROM.

After a while the phone is in standby, the processor gets stoned and starts to malfunction: overheating, battery depletion and lag. Now I can not reset the phone.

I tried with some tools, I put the highest clock frequencies, I changed the CPU and GPU governors, I restarted the UI, but nothing it continue to have lag.

Sometimes, by restarting the user interface, the system resumes normal operation, but the games remain unusable in the event of a crash and a delay.

To restore the performance I always have to restart the phone.

I do not have settings and apps active for energy saving.

What can I do?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ibphantom:
Can you use WPS for the time being? That way you have secure WiFi and your phone can connect.

I'm with you about the bug list thing. I think the forums are far under looked by development. I wish we had a clear way to report and also provide logs so that the issues can be resolved easier by the developer.

Thanks. I'm OK as far as a WiFi connection-just have a relatively simple password on the guest network that's isolated from the main (complex password) network. I can work around the problem by moving data by USB. In the scheme of things it's not a serious bug.

With that bootstack/modem paired with 15.1-20180810, on boot I am getting the error:

"A vendor mismatch has been detected. Typically this means your vendor image is out of date. Please ensure your vendor image matches OPR1.170623.032."

I tapped OK and continued with the google account setup wizard, but things were buggy/glitchy, so I restarted and reflashed everything from the start. Clean wipe, Bootloader, Recovery, Modem, ROM, and Gapps.

First boot was quick but the wizard acted goofy again, so I cleared cache/dalvik and things seem fine now beside the error message on boot.

Hello,

i got a couple of problems and would appreciate anyones help.

First of all the Axon 7 Toolkit doesn't recognise when i'm in fastboot. I did manage to unlock my bootloader with MiFlash and TurkDevs bootloader unlock tho and i can run all fastboot commands via cmd.

But now i'm stuck on how to flash the Oreo Bootstack and Modem.

I'm not quite sure if i have to flash those with MiFlash or with "fastboot flash bootloader". If it's done with fastboot, which .img file do i have to use?

Thanks in advance for anyone who is willing to help me.

Tell me if you need more informations.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] williamthardy:
This works for me, if you haven't yet get the latest image TWRP from https://dl.twrp.me/ailsa_ii/ . Put on PC in ADB directory and flash it by "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-ailsa_ii.img". Enter recovery perhaps by "adb reboot recovery". Using TWRP on phone wipe everything. Next copy bootstack and modem to phone. Using TWRP install bootstack and modem. Next flash TWRP again using TWRP.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] BlackTSQ:

Right, so I just installed the 0810 ROM. Got the vendor message after boot like others have said, but no big deal there. However, I can not unlock my device with my fingerprint scanner now.

Wifi not working after initial setup of 7/11 release

I just installed the 0711 release. First LOS install on this phone. Wiped everything prior to installing.

When the phone first came up, it prompted me to connect to a Wifi network to complete the installation. That worked, so I assumed I was golden. I then restored my backup settings from Google and started installing apps. At some point I noticed I was no longer connected to Wifi, and when I tried to reconnect, I couldn't. I'm guessing the problem has something to do with the restored wifi networks, but I'm not sure. Tried rebooting - no help there. Finally I tried 'forgetting' my home network and re-connecting, and that got me connected.

So I guess I'm fine now. But the question remains - is there some problem with restoring backed up wifi networks and passwords?

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] [armitage]:
Quick FYI...

As mentioned above, the latest version doesn't boot, probably because of some changes to the vendor partition.

Which meant (at least for me, when I just tested the latest one) that my freshly made backup wouldn't boot anymore either.

To fix that, I had to flash the build from the 10th again (probably to get the compatible vendor) and then restore my backup, which then booted without a problem.

Does that mean that if I'm still on the pre-treble release from 0711, and I want to move on to treble, I should just skip 0810 and go with this new one to get a compatible vendor partition? Or is the new release not ready for general consumption?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] [armitage]:
I don't know but there seems to be something "wrong" with the latest version.

When I flashed it, it did say, in the log, that it found and patched /system and /vendor successfully, but it still didn't boot.

I mean I guess you could try if you want to, but I'd go with the version from the 10th for now, till we know more.

Thread Organization

I really feel like I'm lost between the threads going on, now that our phones are treble ready and I consider myself an amatuer.

This disorganization has led me to believe that we are not providing the proper efficiency when it comes to finding bugs, reporting them and getting feedback from the developer(s) if the bug is being fixed on the next release or not.

What I've been hoping for is that the front pages of these ROMs/GSIs are being updated constantly with a download link of the Beta(Nightly), RC, and Stable version. I really don't like the links of an updated ROM being on page 60 something and I have to go find that one because I want the latest security and updates. What ever happened to the update feature built into the phone? I never receive updates through that anymore.

On the forums we should have a particular format for explaining bugs.

ROM Release Date

ROM Kernel

Any other extras flashed(Dolby.zip, Magisk,...etc...)

Real Example

ROM Release Date - 15.1-20180810

ROM Kernel - 318117-HellsGate-X13-TrebleClang

Extras - Magisk

I've had the biggest issues with my phone shutting down when I'm using CPU intensive apps. I can't open the camera without the battery draining it down 5%, then using it, I hardly made it 25 minutes into the Botanic Gardens in Chicago. Some the pictures turned out to have lines through them and others were not focused at all or looked jpegd out. Not only that, but the phone turns off between 5-35%. I never make it to 1%. I've tried battery calibration methods and always charge my phone with QC3.0 to around 80% so I don't burn out my battery.

If I don't flash gapps or unable to because of error 70 or error 40-something before booting the first time, the setup never works. It always hangs and causes programs to stop if you flash it later.

I think with a little efficiency and guidance towards bug fixes, we can bring our phone back out of the dark and show people what a deal we got.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] TeutonJon78:
I agree..it's a little tricky when the first posts aren't updated with the actual current info.

Plus, it's still not clear (to me at least) if we are even supposed to bother with these builds in general or just use them to /vendor and then switch to a GSI build.

Regarding why the internal update doesn't work anymore, it's because these updates are unofficial builds and not official Lineage builds. The LOS OTA software checks their official build servers for that, which this phone only has 14.1.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] littlenoodles:
I just noticed that when charging, the lock screen indicator says "charging rapidly" even when my battery is over 90% charged. I don't think it's actually quick charging at that point (that would be bad for the battery, right) - the phone doesn't feel hot, and the percentage seems to be going up slowly. But the indicator is certainly misleading. Anybody know if it's really still quick charging at the top of the curve? I'm on the 0711 build, by the way.

For what it's worth, battery life has been pretty damn good on this build.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ibphantom:
You should usually only charge your phone to 80-90% anyways to save the strain on the battery.

You can always download the app Ampere and it'll tell you the charge rate.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] littlenoodles:
Well, I'm to lazy to not just plug in overnight. But my battery's held up okay so far. Meanwhile, I tried Ampere and it yes, the current drops way down above 90%, so I guess this is just cosmetic. Come to think of it, I don't remember offhand whether the 'fast charging' indicator ever switches back to plain 'charging' on ZTE's stock ROM. I just knew that it did slow down...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] tdm:

I unblocked the bootloader, installed twrp, installed Lineage 15.1 with gapps of oreo 8.1. All okay, but using it I realized that Wapp's audio to the ear stopped.
