Hi All

Since there is all sorts of development running at the moment and the treble Pie has been put within radar, I thought I make a grouped topic/discussion only for this sGSI version. Some known install procedure, adds and also the pros and cons about this version so everybody can learn.

As I have seen and heared, some users are confused and didn't find all data and files needed to boot, I grouped them here in order and add some other files to finalize what you can do with this version at the moment.

I give all the credits to those who made this possible so far.

Correct me where needed.

*B12 Nfound

Files needed :

1. TWRP 3.2.1.8 treble thnx [MENTION=5492451]NFound[/MENTION]

Installation :

a Install TWRP 3.2.1-8 - TREBLE, reboot into twrp

d reboot into twrp again

e format system, data, cache, wipe vendor

f install Project_Treble_v1.1_Axon7-by-NFound.zip. This will 'resize' vendor to a +-500mb / afaik also compatible with LOS15 (treble) now, betas(B01,B12), all official roms A7, GSI's

g install P-PR1-sGSI-Aonly.zip, so tap install/img and choose the img file and flash

h install the 1, 2, and 3 Post-sGSI files in order, so mount /vendor and flash those 3 files.

i Reboot

After boot :

*use the gms , install it and create an account on google. It will speed up installation

* use Gcam to have a working camera : https://github.com/AospExtended/platform_vendor_aosp/blob/8.1.x/prebuilt/common/apk/Gcam.apk

* use this patch to have settings working in camera : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77296562&postcount=55 thnx [MENTION=5630683]yarecco[/MENTION]

* disable the navbar with : go to vendor / build.prop and add "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1"

or flash this A2017X Vendor NavBar Remover

* reverse softkeys : https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/themes/mod-soft-key-reverse-using-synapticsdsx-t3827574

* for those who have call issues : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77285228&postcount=22 thnx [MENTION=7802728]atakan33[/MENTION]

* best, even on v1.1 to flash the framework overlay again : https://www.sendspace.com/file/x7jv8q. Makes DT2W work as it should !

*flash the pr1-lag-fix.zip to get a smoother experience thnx [MENTION=7802728]atakan33[/MENTION] to mention it

As far as I know these things work :

*playstore....

*magisk 16.4, 16.7 working ok - safetynet pass ok confirmed on 16.7 - all should work, only a temp problem : https://twitter.com/topjohnwu/status/1029239685338419200?s=09

*full root r/w

*modules like youtube, jojoc....

*adaway

*call app but with ECHO so other persons hear themselves... for some members, even without Volte, the echo is note there and call volume can be adjusted

*no overheating with the v1.1

*better battery performance since v1.1

*dt2w works if you flash the framework overlay again when you're already booted. I uploaded it here since it got lost : https://www.sendspace.com/file/x7jv8q

* fast charge works, no heating at all

* spilt screen : just long press the icon in recents thnx [MENTION=5942329]SantiHurtado[/MENTION]

Not working :

*auto-brightness...or not in a way we're used to....;) - there is no quick settings toggle, so if you want to untick auto, go to settings/display...

*dolby , but try this : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77289658&postcount=31 thnx [MENTION=5630683]yarecco[/MENTION] NOT WORKING - tested it myself and even bootloop when removing them. So if you want to try BACKUP FIRST !

*usb bug : greyed out so no control - in dev options you can choose an option but the usb setting still will be greyed out

......

Hope you can join in to give your opinion and add some more feedback to the pros and cons.
