Hi [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5027381]OrdenKrieger[/MENTION]

First of all I'm really thankful to you and all the other devs and contributors for all the efforts you made to make A7 a better device.

Then I ask you kindly just to consider updating the official LOS in order to have regular repo syncs with security patches and OTA updates. Even if you could do it just once for now as the last update is way behind what you achieved in the meantime in LOS 15.1.

Please don't understand this as if I wanted to push you to do something and I know this was asked before me... so it's only a proposal and I'm sure you that you didn't update the official LOS regularly for a reason.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] olivierl69:
And do i need to wipe at anytime or between wich step ?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
Wipe everything except micro SD and internal before starting the steps I listed.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dodo34:
Does Lineage OS has OTA function on Axon 7 ?

Kind regards

Hamid
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
Official LOS 15 on Axon 7 has OTA builds pushed automatically every week.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Gachmuret:
Only problem is that last specific update for our device is way back and latest fixes and improvements didn't find the way to the official release until now...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
You can use Unofficial builds then, they get updated with specific changes for our device. No OTA for them unfortunately, but it's quite easy to manually update.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dodo34:
Means that Axon 7 do not get the latest updates ?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] cyrusharding:

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dodo34:
What is the difference between official and unofficial. Officials have a newer date ?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
Official builds are pushed automatically by the server along with every other device. They are generic updates, containing whatever was updated for every device on the los tree. Unofficial builds are aimed at Axon specific changes, and contain many fixes and changes that won't be seen on Official builds for a while.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Fuilares:
Hello, few days ago my gpay stopped working, root is detected. It was randomly, I didn't made any changes to my phone. What can be issue? Other apps like Pokémon go works great. I'm using latest official build. I've already tried reinstalling magisk and modules for spoofing. Safetynet pass
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dodo34:
So the offical is not fully working on the axon 7. the unoffical is more compatibible but has no OTA function.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
Both are fully working. Only official has ota.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dodo34:
i did not get the point. If official is supporting Axon 7 why there is a need for the unofficial ?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] littlenoodles:
Unofficial isn't completely compatible with the LOS official releases. You have to run a script to switch between the two without losing all your apps. But unofficial has solved some problems with the official release - particularly in the area of battery life (though even that's not a perfect fix - the unofficial version still sometimes gets into overheating battery drain mode, though less frequently).

It'd be nice for the two versions to get harmonized so that unofficial could be reserved for experimental stuff, and most of us would run official versions with a regular release schedule that includes security updates, but it doesn't seem to be a priority. And to be fair, there's only one developer on this these days, and oh, who knows. Maybe he has a life ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Pruikki:
True, and even if it is forced, it could work. but DRM thing prevents that some how? or it has no capability codec for it?

you can hack any monitor to play back HDR content,, but it ust looks bad...horrid. it need programming in order to work properly, it seems, like settings :D

just my thoughts.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] littlenoodles:
So, this thread seems to have gone cold. Is that because all the action has moved to the LOS 16 thread for this device? If so, what's the recommended path for the rest of us until LOS16 is ready for general consumption. I'm on the next-to-last unofficial release (20190130), and it's pretty good. I saw some problems reported about the last one (20190224), but nothing recently. So is that an even better place to park my device until 16 is ready? Unofficial is definitely better than official, performance wise , so I'd hate to go back to Official until some must-have security update occurs that forces the issue...

Any recommendations?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choose an username...:
It's a pretty gray area, because actually our panel can play HDR content just fine, it's just not certified. The Pixel XL has literally the same panel and supports HDR content via software decoding (since the 821 hasn't got the necessary hardware to do HW HDR like the 835)

DRM stuff would only matter on Netflix, because you CAN play HDR content on Youtube just fine. Install Vanced via Magisk and set it to Software HDR, it'll work but it'll lag on anything higher than 720p60 hdr
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jntesteves:
I'm on the latest unofficial since it was released, and the only difference I've noticed since the January release is that the phone randomly reboots to EDL (like, twice a week). So I think you're fine where you are for now. I would downgrade but I'm just too lazy.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] tprfd:
I am using a build based on the unofficial vendor and device tree, along with the latest lineage updates (so I am on march 2019 patch) and official 15.1 kernel.

So far it's rock solid. No reboots and compared to official for me, the battery drain is much less and GPS connects instantly.

If you're interested, I can post how I did this. It's actually not hard and you don't need a powerful computer if you're patient. Unfortunately the kernel is old but you can at least get the android security patches for the foreseeable future.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] xXDomXx:
Hello all,

I' m on unofficial LOS 16.0 and wanted to know if someone on 15.1 or 16.0 also has the problem that the other person in a call hear my voice twice, like an echo?

For me I hear the person loud and clear, only the other one is complaining it would be hard to understand me. I tried to check the microphones and found out the one above is more sensitive as the one below, is here something wrong?

When I record a video both microphones are working well & clear. I think it has something to do with noise cancelling from the microphone at top?

Does someone has a solution or hint what it could be - could it be a Hardware issue?

Many thanks for your responses!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] TheWaterBug:
I don't have it (16.0), but I am on a different kernel than stock since it kept forcing a shutdown and going into EDL. The only thing I have a major problem with is an audio bug where audio would cut out on wired and bluetooth, and only play on the speakers.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] littlenoodles:
Yes please. Sounds like a good option to have.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] fernando_fec:
I would be more than happy to make a Dockerfile out of those instructions. Also, I can setup an automated build for it. I'm not sure how would I distribute it, but its a step forward.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] okmikel:
I am also interested and want to try it out.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] littlenoodles:
So you're essentially building LOS from scratch and substituting some blobs from the unjustified's unofficial repo. If that's the case, and the results work well, how come the official distribution isn't doing the same thing? I.e. I get that unjustified has other, better things to do with his time - and perhaps so do the maintainers of the official build process. But it sounds like you've just done all the work to merge the best of both builds. What would it take for your work to ripple to the actual official build system?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] tprfd:
Yes, building from scratch while substituting.

I don't know the answer to the rest sorry.

Thanks so much for the great how to.

Just finished compiling and worked without a problem.

It's a bit too late here to try the rom now, but no reason to think that it won't work.

Thanks again. :)

Thanks a lot, build was ready this morning and I installed it right now. Booted up and is running.

Hello, I have installed LOS using Oki's EDL method. Is there any need/benefit to flash A2017x_LineageOS15.1_UniversalBootstack_v2_by_DrakenFX.zip ?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
I suppose if you don't have the WiFi mac address bug (mac address changes every reboot), then I suppose you're fine. The v2 bootstack is supposed to prevent that, so yeah. I would still recommend flashing it, even if you don't have the problem.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] okmikel:

As far as I know, slow gps is only on unofficial (udev's builds).

If you compile it the way tprfd posted, you pretty much get the best of both worlds.

So faster gps lock, latest security patches and some of udev's goodies.

OS Wear

I recently installed this ROM and I absolutely love it! However, I'm having a problem with the Wear OS app and getting my phone synced with my Moto 360 2nd Gen.

Whenever I try to open the Wear OS app on my phone it opens up to the splash screen but then just stays there.

When I try to pair through my watch, I get a notification on my phone that opens up the Wear OS app, it connects, but takes me to basically a white screen and then does nothing. It doesn't finish syncing up.

I've tried uninstalling, rebooting and reinstalling the app, no luck. I've wiped the cache and data on the app, no luck. I've also tried reflashing the rom to no avail. I'm on the most recent 3/22 nightly release.

Any ideas??
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Mart Son:
Thank you very much.

I build with bubblegutz kernel and so far all is gold!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] we_tu_lo:
Ok, I got lineage 15.1 running according to Oki, and everything is fine.

I also installed Magisk 18.1 in his TWRP recovery.

When I go to download the magisk manager apk, it force closes. I cant install - it just opens and closes.

Is there a fix to this?

edit: Upon using a root checker, it says I am not rooted. so curious where I could have gone wrong.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
Just reflash Magisk, you should be good.

Magisk Manager comes with the Magisk 18.1 zip, it gets installed automatically when you flash Magisk in TWRP. If you don't end up seeing it, extract the .zip and navigate to the common folder inside. You should find an apk, which you can install.

Silly question... Which Trwp version do I need for encrypted data partition? Trwp says wrong password...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] orography:
Yes, that's true. I'm on 15.1 official. There are annoyances every now and then, like the rear camera will refuse to start, and any app trying to use it will crash, but a reboot fixes that when it happens. I haven't come across any issues that would make it worthwhile to move to unofficial and give up security patches.

Did anyone face this "half blue lock screen" problem before? I couldn't get pass it and I couldn't force restart it either. I had tried many different hardware button combinations, but no matter how long I hold my them, nothing work. When I plugged in, it turned to yellow. I'm on unofficial build btw.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] spiked_mistborn:
That happened to me last week, I thought it was an April fool's prank. I held down the power button for several seconds until the phone turned off. It hasn't done that again except for that one time.

Hi,

since I'm building LOS 15.1 images for the Axon 7 from udev's repos, I like to share them, as they have the actual security patches:

Download: lineage-15.1-20190410-UNOFFICIAL-axon7.zip

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] littlenoodles:
Hmmm. The link at the top of this thread to download udev's unofficial builds no longer works. Are you taking over for him, providing yet another source of merged official/unofficial builds or is this just a temporary setup?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] [armitage]:
Just check a few pages back. Everyone that wants to and has the time can compile one.

Depending on your internet speed and pc the first one is done in a couple of hours and every update in about half an hour.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] littlenoodles:
I definitely saw the link to the instructions. Was just wondering if NYquilXT was volunteering to do it for the rest of us (and I guess, whether it's safe to flash the rom he linked to). Since LOS16 hasn't gone mainstream for this device, it'd be great to have someone maintaining a current build that actually works well. I suppose I could build my own, but that wasn't the question...

Oh, and since udev's link no longer works, can I really build my own using his repo at this point?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] [armitage]:
Got you. My point was just that it's very easy to do yourself if you want to. Just updated and compiled mine in a about 6 minutes (compile time).

And you can build it without a problem as his ftp server has nothing to do with his sources and even if he'd delete them I made a fork that I posted a few pages back.

Without udev and/or ordenkrieger there probably won't be any development besides lineage fixes and security patches, but hey...this is now an almost 3 year old device so I guess that's not too bad. Oh and I'm sure it's safe to flash or he probably wouldn't have posted it, but as always make a backup before trying anything. :)

Edit: Btw, if enough people are interested we could make kinda of a community thread, where people that compile these versions, could post their updated builds from time to time.

Guess it's not the best idea to post it in this thread as this is ordenkrieger's and udev's thread and they would be buried by new posts after a couple of days anyway.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] NyQuilXT:
Hi,

to clear some things up:

The motivation, I build those image(s) is, that the official builds don't contain latest improvements, made by udev. I build them waaay before the howto was posted some pages back. And because udev seems not to develop and build updated images with latest security patches anymore and because his ftp seems to be down now too, I like to share my builds with you. I totally agree, that it's fairly easy to build those images, but not everyone has the required resources. Because I mainly build LOS 15.1 and 16.0 images for my Sony Xperia Z1 honami (see my LOS 16.0 thread in the Sony Xperia Z1 forum) I have a dedicated build server with enough resources / capacity to also handle the builds for the Axon 7. I don't do any development for the Axon 7 - just build images from the latest LOS 15.1 sources (with actual security patches) and udev's actual device and vendor tree / repositories (btw. I forked them too for the given reason, armitage mentioned) - nothing else! I could build and share them, until udev reappear. Feel free to use my builds.

Greets

In Call Speakerphone echo

Before I format my phone is anyone having issues with unresponsive in call volume and the person on the other end hearing echoing and static during a call? I'm coming from LOS14.1 so maybe it just needs a very deep wipe?

Edit: The listener on the other end only hears their echo when the axon 7 speakerphone is on, call sounds okay on my end. In Call earpiece and speaker phone volume are unresponsive even though the slider moves. I followed the install directions word for word using latest picco with the most current LOS and Bootstack that have been updated. What could be causing my install to have this bug?

Microphone Crash

I'm having a very odd problem with my microphone. The entire build is working great as far as I can tell, all but the microphone. I can make phone calls and even WhatsApp calls but when I try and send say a voice message in WhatsApp the phone just turns it self off, and i have to reboot it. also I checked and I cant shoot video because of the same problem. The camera itself works but the mic doesn't.

I was wondering if any of you are having the same issue or maybe know how to fix it.

Nevertheless i'd like to thank the creator of this Thread. It helped me alot! :o

I've tried to find the answer, but I'll ask.

Does this ROM have a call blocker? If so, how would it work?

For instance, I used to have a custom ROM on my old Xperia X10, which would block a number, and I'd never know it called. The stock Axon 7 blocker always rings once and then blocks the call.
