[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] lokiyito:
Hello! I'm not an expert like many of the people in here so take my comments with care. I do this things from time to time so everytime I prepare for an upgrade, I try to collect all the information I can -although at this point in time, all the devs and people involved had made great jobs at avoiding us bricking the devices, among other things-.

Basically, for all I read, upgrading from LOS 14.1 to LOS 15.1 won't let you decrypt your data partition, which encrypts by default if I remember correctly and uses your PIN number to decrypt it. I say 'by default' because I don't remember encrypting it manually with 14.1. It seems it was true because after installing the ROM for 15.1, my data was there and I can say this 100% sure because when I first booted up the phone, my old wallpaper was still there, among the old applications throwing messages to the screen, but I couldn't access the phone with the PIN number neither TWRP could decrypt the partitions. So, like I said in my first message, since I had all my data backed up, I erased everything and started fresh, preparing the partitions for what it seems the Treble project, so no biggies for me, since I was prepared to lose all in the process. Besides, it's a common recommendation to wipe everything when upgrading from a major version to another. Afterwards, Google took care of downloading all the apps, configurations and more stuff to the 'newly freshly' installed ROM. One thing I normally do is 'traverse' all my apps from the drawer to make sure what I want to keep and whatnot. Normally, it's all the photos, downloaded documents, WhatsApp -entirely, with messages, pictures and videos-. Everything else, like everything 'Googly', has cloud backup, unless you don't use it.

I you are in doubt I'd suggest you backup everything -normally if you have Google synchronization active, you don't need to do much-. If you want to keep all the documents and photos, just copy them from the Internal Storage to the SD card or your computer. If you use Google Photos, like me, Camera photos sync by default. Unless you want to keep the original big photos, this app has no limit to upload 'high quality photos', which rounds about 2.5MB -whereas the Axon 7 in 20MP mode and High Quality settings can save a photo at around 7MB-. Normally I want to keep the big photos, but this time I forgot to copy them since the unconscious me knew it had it on the cloud, so, unless I want to print a gigantography, I'm good :p

If you need anything else I can help you with, just quote me or PM me, no problem :D

Did anybody get WiFi calling to work? I have T-mobile, and it used to work for me on stock ROM B35 and earlier, but even though I can turn it on from the settings, it doesn't seem to work on LOS. I'm happy to help debug this issue if someone can give me pointers on what to look at.

If you use the default Oreo bootstack (for the A2017U on the A2017U), you get EDL support. You also don't get something else the universal stack supports, but I'm forgetting what it is at the moment.

This happens when you use Magisk Hide Props or NFound's vendor. Its just a graphical bug, that's not the real security patch level date.

Just to let everyone know I'll be dropping a build soon well in a week or so. I've been busy trying to prepare for my first born. Hopefully the community is still thriving. I plan on doing a few more 15.1 builds and I'll move to Pie which includes rebasing the kernel away from ZTE format so we can easier track upstream since I have reason to believe the current 8.0 build is the final update from them.

Probably performance and battery life. Plus things like GPS VR and a few other things work. Honestly the only thing official does is allow ota updates. I'm still the guy behind both sources and I haven't pushed any fixes to official in months.

The GPS is taking a very long time to connect and OTA updates never worked for me (always downloaded them manually and did dirty flash)

There is a way to make the migration?

Is this advised or use clean flash?

Excuse me for my ignorance in this matter, but if you don't push any change in Official and if Lineage developement is done, what changes every day in official between an update and another? :confused:

Yeah BIG congrats unjustified dev, having a son myself who is turning 1 next week, I know what amazing time you have in front of you. Tough, but worth it every day! :) Thanks for all your efforts with these ROMs, and indeed, enjoy the upcoming family time to the max!

If we wanted to migrate to unofficial and wipe the device clean for that, is there a small tutorial for that? Or is it just to wipe the partition clean and flash the unofficial zip?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] attilalovesfun:
Wow thats a significant improvement Unjust :) What did you change/fix in 20190130 to get such good battery improvements?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Infy_AsiX:
I mentioned a few which haven't been discussed

Isn't the point of official OTA builds that they get upstreamed Android source still? If these unofficial changes aren't merged to official then doesn't that leave all future official builds more updated with Android but gimped with bugs that were only fixed in these last unofficial builds? Also the benefit of updated open source for the build in question.

For those asking how to migrate between official and unofficial there's a script and instructions in this thread if you search.

Agreed. 16 may not be out for a while, may not be stable for a while on the Axon 7 and it seems like such a waste to have a 'better' 15.1 build that is not getting updated through the official channels.

UD if you ever find the time to move the changes to official it would be extremely appreciated. I understand you're going to be very busy soon so if the availability is not there for you, all good.

https://review.lineageos.org/q/status:merged+branch:lineage-15.1

You can go through pages and notice there's nothing being done to the framework or system for weeks. There's only device specific changes. I'm not saying I won't push them eventually, but I don't see the reason to rush since it only makes testing take longer and removing a bug take longer since you have to wait on a new build.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] tprfd:
For me it's all about security updates. Hypothetically, If you ever stop your unofficial builds and the last one was from Jan 30, 6 months from now we have a choice - unofficial with fixes to battery, fixes to VR, etc but 6 months old security updates - or official, with security updates but worse battery/VR/etc.

There is absolutely no ask to rush anything upstream. Your first answer about upstream mentioned you have no plans to move your changes, and I am just hoping you would reconsider the plan at some point (not today or tomorrow, but when and if ready) purely to get a nice stable 'device specific' base with continuing security patches. You're doing a fantastic service for us and it sounds like you would consider pushing eventually, so all I can say is thank you.

OK...I searched for the "twrp script" to move to unofficial from official and I still cannot find the actual link for the script. Also, and pardon my ignorance here...but I also cannot seem to find where to download the unofficial 15.1 for this phone. So, any help is truly appreciated!

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] littlenoodles:
If it's just a matter of not rushing to push fixes out that are still being debugged, I get that completely. Of course, if the only differences between the official and unofficial versions were your changes, the process would be a lot easier, no?

Just curious. Is the same 'official/unofficial' disparity going to be there in LOS16 as well? And if you were to do the work to harmonize the two for LOS15.1, would that carry over to 16? Obviously, being able to simply dirty flash between official and unofficial versions would be the best of both worlds, for users at least. But ultimately, would that help you developers too. Or would you prefer not to be inundated with bug reports from people not savvy and committed enough to ditch the official release...? That's not *completely* a snarky comment - I get that "it doesn't work" isn't the most helpful bug report ;)

Anyway, if the twrp script you mentioned works as advertised, that could be almost as good as being able to simply dirty flash. Does it work in both directions? I know I had to reinstall all my apps when I originally went from unofficial to the first official release.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jaseman:
Thank you...forgot about the first post having the unofficial link...DOH! :silly:

For the record, to those talking about Daydream compatibility... unless it's just something with my install, low-persistence ("reduce blur") mode doesn't work, resulting in quite a lot of motion blur on this AMOLED screen.

I have my own version of the .zip that changes the codename provided by the Axon 7 to the ZTE one instead of another different phone. It does "help" with LineageOS 15.1, in the sense that if I don't use it, then the Daydream picture is distorted, which I think is a DPI issue due to it thinking it's a different phone; and in LineageOS 14.1, it was needed to make all Daydream apps (as opposed to only a portion) actually display in VR instead of "flat".

But it makes no difference in terms of whether the low-persistence mode (by which I mean Settings → Display → Advanced → When device is in VR → Reduce blur) works. Right now, selecting "Reduce blur (recommended)" versus "Reduce flicker" changes nothing, while the difference would be normally quite visible as soon as a VR app starts (even a Cardboard app, since it still uses the GVR libraries), because anything bright on the screen will "vibrate" subtly, and the overall brightness will go down due to the shorter time pixels are displayed.
