And which one is more stable? My son uses my old axon for school and it is very important that it's reliable with all its functions. Right now he uses the last crDroid build.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Adeeda:
Thanks for all the work and effort.

I have a more general question: I installed LOS and also crDroid following the instructions here and on reddit. It works fine and thanks again.

But I'm wondering in terms of security as I didn't feel to comfortable while using tools from third party sources and flashing bootloader, modem, roms from filehosters. I mean at the end its all anonymous, right...?

Do you have any worries or do I just worry too much?

Thanks!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] samwichse:
Which would you prefer as your daily driver? I'm on crdroid and it's extremely smooth and bug free... more so than ZTE's final stock rom for this one, honestly.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] klałn:
In long term, LineageOS should be more stable and secure than crDroid or other custom roms.

Looking at github, most custom roms froze previous releases and focus on newest android version. They may merge security updates from AOSP/LOS tree to android_frameworks_base, but won't backport any fixes from newest version.

I.e. Launcher on crDroid had last update in Nov. 2019, which is fork of alpha version, Lawnchair 3.

LOS team merge security updates AND backport bug fixes to apps/components from newest android version.

Regarding to this LOS compiled by nonicktoday, I'm using it, it is stable, however it has 2 old bugs, which seems fixed in crDroid device tree.

- MAC address is randomized - if I remember correctly, it's because lack of SELinux rule, which denies access to read wifimac.dat on persist partition.

Can be fixed by setting SELinux to permissive mode.

- Call bug, no sound in-speaker - sometimes, when making a call or someone calls, I won't hear anything until I change to loudspeaker and back to in-speaker. It's an old bug from Oreo. I don't remember have it on crDroid.

No issues so far.

I cannot get Android Auto to appear on my vehicle head unit with any of the above versions.

Has anyone run into this? Android Auto will only run on the device screen. But seems to be aware that it was plugged into a vehicle.

I have seen a few posts with solutions but nothing has worked so far. I tried installing multiple versions of Open gapps. Today I wiped everything and flashed the latest above and used mindthegapps, then installed Android Auto. Still the same thing, it does not work with the head unit. but Android Auto will start on the device knowing I plugged into a vehicle!

I even tried installing a AndroidAutoPrebuiltStub.apk to priv-app using Magisk systemizer then updating. It does not make a difference..

Does this happen to anyone else?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Ryo99:
I experimented with some recent builds from nonicktoday, the only one which worked properly with the Android auto head unit (and the SDK head unit emulator) was the 20210920 build and the newer kernel.

It looks to be kernel related, easy to reproduce with the Android studio head unit emulator 1.1. I haven't noticed any instability so far with this kernel.

Thanks for this ROM! But i have two problems, things that i flashed on my 2017G:

-lineage-16.0-20220128-UNOFFICIAL-axon7.zip by nonicktoday

-A2017G_OreoModem

-A2017x_LineageOS15.1_UniversalBootstack_v2_by_DrakenFX

-Open GApps Micro

The first problem is NFC, i can enable it in settings but i can't scan any tag or card. "NFC Check" said that the device is supporting NFC but i need to enable it, when i turn it on in settings, nothing changed.

Second problem is the PC driver for Axon MTP or USB. I can't get propper driver for Win10 "stock driver didn't work for LOS" Have you some advice for me to fix NFC?

Any of you getting GPS with this rom? I'm not on my 2017G.

Wifi works. Did i maybe screw up the OreoModem ?

[edit] Ah after 15 minutes outside, I see 3 sats. No lock yet. Same device got a lock reasonably fast with ZTE android, without SIM/Network.

[edit2] Or did google cripple GPS locks in this android version, when no SIM is inserted?

my gps is also spotty. i can only get a connection when i have an internet connection
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] clot81:
Well there are helpful threads here on general GPS tech and gps issues.

One thing I think I learned is that a 'cold fix' takes a long time. That's when your gps daemon has no cached list of satellites. That first lock should be done with unobstructed sky view, and can take a long time to build the cache.

Another is that inaccurate system time can cause problems getting a lock. Ensuring that your system time is accurate before trying to use gps might help. This can be done by selecting a network time protocol server with low ping times to you. This can be set in /vendor/etc/gps.conf I'm not sure if that value is completely independent of the android system NTP timesync.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Flaîm:
i tried out this fix and so far it appears to be doing it. but i haven't travelled so far to the spots where it happened, so it still could be just a fluke.

Hi and welcome to XDA, Shoko7. I'm going to leave this single post of yours in place only this time - as there is no Oppo A71 section and there probably just isn't enough demand to create one. I just wanted to let you know that you only get to ask that question exactly once. I can't answer for the OP of the thread, but it is generally discouraged to make such a request, and it's a pretty big request.

I also deleted the duplicate copy of this post you accidentally created. While it's good that you edited the post to contain nothing, in the future you should also Report your own post to have us moderators delete the duplicate.

Please don't take this public statement as any kind of negative. Since I decided to leave your post in place, I just wanted to post publicly so that everyone who would potentially see your post also hopefully sees this one and they don't bother reporting that particular post again, plus I wanted to give you some advice so that you know what you can expect, and what we expect from you.

Cheers,

Hey, just wondering if you were still working on the LOS 17.1 bringup? I noticed your last commit was 9 months ago and I've been eagerly hoping somebody could get it across the line as more and more apps are starting to target Android 10 as their minimum version.

I've been using your LOS 16 build as a daily driver since you released it and it has been fantastic - no issues other than the standard camera flash timing bug that every other ROM has too. A new security patch build for that would still be greatly appreciated if LOS 17.1 proves to be too difficult :)

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] axon7one:
Hi there, not sure if you're still active enough to see this but I'm hoping to ask what the most proper way to install this is (perhaps from stock?).

I feel like I had installed it properly at first but then a lot of things seemed to be acting up so I'm not sure if I did something wrong or if it just quirks I have to live with because it's an unofficial ROM and whatnot.

- Location was stuck at "Device Only" and I had to find a roundabout way to get to go to "High Accuracy".

- Some settings like Discovery or Find My Device kept on turning back on after rebooting.

- The "At A Glance" settings won't stay off. I want to turn off the weather but it's stuck.

- Some apps seem to have issues detecting the SD card?

- Magisk took several reboots before it was installed? (Though I may have been misled to how much I needed Magisk in the first place)

Things *seem* mostly stable for now, so maybe the solution was just to reboot a whole lot? But I thought I'd still ask in case.

I used this guide (

https://www.reddit.com/r/Axon7/comments/8n3mpw
) to go from stock to LineageOS 15, then I did a wipe in TWRP and installed your LineageOS 16 rom, GAPPS and Magisk (all without rebooting).

Thank you if you do see this and respond.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] RedWave31:
It only separates during a call, and it's for the in-call volume only. That might happen in the future LOS additions, but not now.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] trevor68:
In Oreo there was an Xposed module I used. I kinda forgot there is no Xposed for Pie, and that LOS don't separate these. A deal breaker for me so will be going back to 15.1

otherwise the ROM was nice and working well as a daily driver since applying the camera fix.
