I've lost phone ear piece audio on 12/16 on both a clean flash and a dirty. I can only hear a call if I toggle speakerphone on. I never get earpiece speaker audio regardless of what I have tried, which has included going back to stock dialer, cleaning audio jack, installing Audio Router, creating rules with automateit, reflashing Oreo modem, turning off Google assistant voice recognition, and uninstalling phone app updates.

I thought this issue had been fixed so it may be a problem specific to my phone caused by settings or possibly a faulty audio jack. Anyone else dealing with call audio problems? If it's not just me I can do some digging for logs that might be helpful

Any ongoing issues with latest 1213 Unofficial build we should be testing for/expecting? Hows the battery drain on this rom?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] brck:
I came from 14.1 and I've found battery life to be improved by around 15% or so on this aging phone on the latest nightlies. No phone earpiece speaker audio is pretty inconvenient but otherwise it's running really well.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] attilalovesfun:
Oh ok, so this issue has returned again in the latest 1213 unofficial (this was fixed months ago originally)? I thought when you mentioned the issue above in the '12/16' rom you were referring to the official nightly as unjust's latest unofficial build is 1213.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] okmikel:
For me battery life is also great with 1213 unofficial, best LOS 15.1 so far.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Mart Son:
Battery is on 1213 good. Scrolling is on my phone sometimes little bit laggy, but I don't really care, when battery performance is that well.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] attilalovesfun:
Ah thats good to know :). Either of you experiencing the no phone call earpiece audio issue mentioned above?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Mart Son:
Not yet, but I also never had it before.

There was sometimes ago a hype to crank up the speakers, because it was said they are not as loud as the Stockfirmware. I won't be surprised that some people have blasted their speaker in this times....
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] okmikel:
I also don't have phone call audio issues.

file modem "G" is correct?

I flash to my phone (2017G) and i see in settings 2017U model.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] _phk_:
Hi!

Anyone noticed that daydream performance is still much worse than on LOS 14.1?

Although low persistence mode is finally fixed, it's still not working 100% as picture is still slightly blurred when turning my head.

I took the phone out of the daydream glasses and noticed some weird thing.

When turning the mobile phone left/right, I see that also the black frame for each eye is moving. These are the only part that shouldn't be moving at all.

So is it a general rendering problem in LOS 151. or is it caused by missing sustained performance mode.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] okmikel:
It is correct, all variants are shown as U.

For the record, after a long time without this problem, it seems that today I have joined the "stuck battery indicator"club (on latest official).

[IMG="Moment when the battery indication gets stuck"]https://framapic.org/kAyBrlbbl5QP/vtIJ4hlLCOJC.png[/IMG]

I did a couple of things recently (i.e. in the past week): I replaced NFound's recovery with Oki's one, and tried to use Unofficial's kernel over Official. Everything should be back to "normal" today, though, and this is happening.

Update: a reboot or a cold boot didn't help, but plugging in the charger resulted in the indication going from 70% to 75% in less than 10 seconds; then I disconnected the charger, and subsequently the indication went back below 70%, and it's at 65% now.

Same for me here.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Predatorhaze:
I have this problem also,they told me my battery is bad but i didnt believe it.I can say its not your battery.

Your screwd
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jntesteves:
Your battery problem is different from the "always being stuck at 50%" that others mentioned. Have you trying clearing the baterry stats? It's just deleting a system file, there are some apps that can do this for you.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Predatorhaze:
He charge with 1000% a hour and its not related to batterystats

i had the same problem
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] LuccoJ:
Yes, I tried with this app after fully charging my phone, but my problem had seemed to go away when I charged my phone briefly and then let it discharge below 70%, so I don't know if the stats reset alone would have fixed the issue. I'll update my post if it happens again and I can try more things.

But also, I lose track of things a bit sometimes, and I didn't realize I am still running kernel 3.18.71-perf-gf94f7af25ec4, which I believe is the Schwifty kernel... as I said, I had played around a bit with recoveries and kernels, so I guess that's the big remaining difference between my phone and a standard official LineageOS.

I had installed it in the hope I'd get low persistence mode while remaining on official, though unfortunately it seems I still only get that if I echo 1 into the kernel parameter manually, and Daydream apps don't do it. Oh well. I can go back to the standard official kernel, although aside from this (one-off?) getting-stuck issue, I do seem to have nearly twice as much battery life as I had before (two days of standby instead of one, basically).
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] _phk_:
[MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION]: which thermal-engine binary are we using atm? Could the blurring issue be caused by that?

I see that the thermal-engine.conf and thermal-engine-vr.conf file is also changed correctly when entering daydream mode.

Edit: Litte update: I've seen in Stock ROM A2017GV1.3.0B03 there is a different thermal-engine binary and only one thermal-engine.conf file. However I don't understand how the switch between NORMAL and PERF profile is done.

I appreciate your comment but this is honestly kicking my behind... At first I thought all I needed was busybox (by osmosis) and magisk would just work....that's a nope.... Then I downloaded the prop config and I'm reading the instructions over and over and nothing.... So i know there's a fingerprint for my phone and that's about it...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] koftheworld:
After you install the module and reboot, you have to run the commands in terminal (need to install it). Just follow the prompts.

Wanna know something really funny, i was just looking around on the liquid rom thread and some dude explained it very well (will do it later, I'm at work right now) but thank you for your reply :p idk why something so simple was giving me problems mang, I guess it's just one of those days...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] thexfiles123:
Not sure if this is related to Lineage or just my crappy battery finally dying, but lately since I updated to a december version (a bit afterwards) but I began encountering INSANE backround battery drain, like 2 % per minute, in the backround, screen off or on, no apps using it, and clearing cache, restarting, charging to 100% etc doesn't fix it, charge overnight and it still drains insanely fast, any one have any ideas? Perhaps I can try leaving it in recovery to see if it drains that fast there too or something, apps like acubattery are confused and dont know what's up.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Mart Son:
Did you install the unofficial?

The newest has a good battery consumption.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] thexfiles123:
yeah I tried updating am on lineage-15.1-20181228-nightly-axon7-signed.zip, still have that massive drain problem, maybe it's my battery itself but I'm just hoping it's not, gonna need to wait 30+ days for a battery to arrive from China if it is, with a basically unusable phone, oof.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Mart Son:
There are two download links in op. Try the one for unofficial. The newest build is from Dec. 13th
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] tprfd:
That's not the latest unofficial. That's the latest official.

Unofficial has updates that apparently help with battery life and is here:

Latest build from dec 13th.

It requires a few steps to install and those steps are indicated in the thread, pages back. There is a script to run to move from official to unofficial.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Young Gunna:
On the latest unofficial and official work Verizon wireless I have volte without having to adjust anything. No magisk modules or anything else. Gps also locking very quickly less than 15 seconds out doors

See attached pictures. Note... I had to do a clean install to get things working... Ie delete data partition too I'm using the Oreo modem and v2 bootloader from original post.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Thanks.. And I see you don't have wifi calling provisioned. Can anyone confirm if Wifi Calling is working? Is the option even available?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Young Gunna:
I am very confident but not 100 percent sure that Verizion blocks wifi calling from phones that are not "certified" on their network based on imei. When I log into my Verizion account it says I'm using an unknown device.

And does not give me the option to enable wifi calling like I can on my wife's phone.

Have to re-enable Google Voicemail after flashing?

I just noticed that declining phone calls was not working again. Went into Google Voice and 're-activated' voicemail on my phone - even though GV thought it was already active. Now it works again. So my question is - does flashing LOS updates via TWRP cause my voicemail activation to be lost? Or is this some other glitch. The only other thing I've noticed is that every time I flash an LOS update, I have to 'Clear Data' in the Settings app to get settings search to work. Are the two related - i.e., is clearing data in Settings causing me to lose voicemail activation? I don't think I'm losing other settings when I do that - though maybe I am...

Softkeys and onscreen navigation

Dear,

Is there anyway to enable the onscreen nav bar, i tried navbar enabler and it worked but when it worked the softkeys also worked also it stopped working after updating, and is there any way to revert the softkeys..or atleast include these changes in the next update..please and thanks in advance

Oh OK, sorry, I asked because saw you asking the same question on the LOS 16 thread. I'm on UnjustifiedDev's unofficial from 2018-12-13 and this option has been there for a while. Can't say about the official builds, though, but since it's a LOS upstream feature and official is more updated with upstream I just assumed it should be there. Can't help any more than that.

Anyone know how to use data partition backup of los16 in los15.1? I can't make it system boot. Google backup was corrupt.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] h3ndrik:
Hey, i would like to join the question about unofficial vs official.

I see the last publicly available commits in official LineageOS are from September/October last year. Since that unjustifieddev changed lots of blobs and props. That made battery life much better for me, but i can't get a GPS fix as quickly as before. For all the other things: unofficial works excellent here but I haven't tried official recently.

I'm wondering whether there are (still) efforts to upstream these changes to official?

I'm following the development process for a long time now, and I'm not sure if it's appropriate to ask about the current status. I see community activity here and in the 16.0 thread is declining. Github shows current activity for the device, but that is apparently on a private branch. Do you work on 16.0 behind the curtain? Can we help somehow?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jrotaetxe:
I would second that. Have an idea about the general situation of the project... No demand...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] tprfd:
The maintainer of 15.1 said on November 10th that this version of Lineage is abandoned and all work is going to 16. I don't know if he or she was referring to 15.1 for axon 7 or 15.1 in general but in my opinion, that statement means the desire to work on 15.1 is no longer there.

The maintainer of 16 had his or her SSD die and I think (I may be wrong) is in school and focusing on that.

Maybe when Lineage releases an official build of 16, the motivation will return. This is my hope.

I too wish the 15.1 unofficial updates were pushed upstream but the current official is pretty stable and I am happy with it. At least we are getting security updates on a regular schedule.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Mart Son:
Yes, that's right.

But on latest unofficial battery life was really good.

Is it the same on official now?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] tprfd:
No i don't think so.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] littlenoodles:
Battery life on official isn't bad per se. It's just that there's some kind of bug in official where the phone starts heating up and the battery plummets. Doesn't happen all the time, and I'd love to see it fixed - but when the phone's not acting up, battery life is okay.

It'd be nice to get some info on why the unofficial ROM isn't just 'official with experimental stuff' - instead of a somewhat incompatible branch. I guess even unofficial isn't being worked on heavily at the moment, so any effort to harmonize the two would require resources that aren't there. But a note to outline what is or is not going on would be helpful. LOS 16 development seems to be stalled too - which makes me think 15.1 might be the end of the road for this device...

Audio - Unofficial

What's the status of audio on the unofficial version? I know a post was made talking about using tinymix to see what DAC was being used at what time, but there hasn't been much discussion on that topic in months. Are we able to appreciate hi-fi audio both in listening AND recording on this ROM? I haven't been on the stock ROM in a while so I haven't been able to tell myself. Any mods to help with using the DAC? Thanks!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] lokiyito:
Hello guys.

Ok, I seem not able to find an specific order of things and I've decided to write for help since I'm actually starting to get confused by all the data/information/methods/problems/etc.

My situation is this. I have the Universal Bootloader -not for Oreo-, unlocked, TWRP and rooted phone with LOS 14.1. I want to upgrade to LOS 15.1. From the OP at the link https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=270519 I can find several files and I'm not sure the order to install them and how. My guess is to try first with 'A2017x_LineageOS15.1_UniversalBootstack_v2_by_DrakenFX.zip' and then with 'A2017U_OreoModem.zip' since I have the American version.

I'm not sure if I must use 'adb' and exactly which command, or if those files can be installed with the current TWRP version I have. Also, I'm not sure the bootstack has EDL or not. It seems simpler to use the EDL package from [MENTION=319057]Oki[/MENTION] but I really want to get the hang of the Axon 7 several updates and upgrades methods -I still have to dig into kernels and stuff- and not get the simpler stuff, if possible.

If on the 218 pages of this thread there was a similar request, I apologize, I couldn't find it and I believe it's been 2+ hours since I started looking. Any guidance will be more than much appreciated.

Thank you very much guys!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
Alright, first thing you want to do is use the latest TWRP. You can find this in the OP, it'll be version 3.2.3-0. Just download the .img file and from your existing TWRP, flash it as recovery. Reboot to your updated TWRP, and then begin by doing this;

-Wipe system, data, cache, dalvik. (I don't think you can carry your data partition over to LOS 15 from 14, so I would recommend wiping it. Don't take my word for it though.)

- Flash the UniversalBootstack v2, followed by the A2017U Oreo Modem.

- Flash the latest official/unofficial version of LOS 15, you can take your pick between the two different versions.

-Flash gapps

-Flash Magisk if you want it

-Reboot.

Thank you [MENTION=8823286]runninghamster[/MENTION] !!! :D I'll try it tonight. One last thing: Do you know if the Bootstack v2 has EDL support?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
I'm pretty sure none of the los bootstacks have support to boot into EDL using the 3 button combo, I think only Oki's custom B12 bootstack he made has that option. You can always just use adb reboot edl to go to EDL mode.
