hmm. double check your modem, item 2 in the installation guide in OP
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ma_ko:
I have a problem with LOS 16 and PowerAmp. Sometimes - maybe once a day when I pull out the phone from my pocket I notice that PowerAmp is turned on and is playing a song (probably last played one). I have my phone set on vibrate all the time so I don't notice it unless I look at the screen. It happens completely at random when the phone isn't doing anything in particular. Maybe it happens with another music apps for other people, I don't know. I read somewhere that it might be ROM sending MEDIA_PLAY signal because of some bugs or something but I disabled all the options that could have effect on this and it still happens... Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Zobat:
Maybe some hardware button setting?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ma_ko:
It has just happened again. It literally laid normally on the desk and when I picked it up to read an email (cause it vibrated) i noticed it's playing a song. I don't believe it's realted to any button - I turned off the options to respond to hardware buttons (though I don't know if it's for headphones only)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] cincibluer6:
What provider do you use?

Also, Zobat, is there any danger in just reflashing the modem in TWRP? I will make a backup first of course but I assume that's fine without having to reflash the ROM, etc.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Zobat:
no there should be no problem.

edit: also if you have an older backup with working modem and you can select just to restore the modem, just try that.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] RedWave31:
I've NEVER seen someone have VoLTE and/or VoWIFI working on a custom rom, especially LOS.

- There isn't ANYTHING in the settings menu being present, and there NEEDS the be settings there

If you don't have those settings in "Network & Internet" and "Cellular" :

[IMG="VoLTE settings"]http://rootupdate.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Fullscreencapture482016101001AM.jpg[/IMG]

NO VoLTE is POSSIBLE.

- VoLTE, especially, is ALWAYS carrier-dependant, phone-dependant, and ROM-dependant.

Android Phones are VERY strictly limited in terms of VoLTE.

- Most Galaxy Phones, S7-S8-S9

- A few Moto

- A few Huawei

Even if *#*#3631*#*# shows "CALLS : LTE", you WILL fallback to 3G for calls.

And PLEASE, please PLEASE don't come from the US stating that you can make calls with your FAKE 4G that is 3G in reality because carriers were allowed to lie about it.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] cincibluer6:
No go on the modem flash. Downloaded it from OP again, flashed, booted back up but still same thing. And what I mean is that on my preferred network type I have LTE. I go to call and it immediately goes "Call ended" both carrier and google voice calls. I can change that to GSM/WCDMA auto and then calls works. I am from the US so have fake LTE or whatever- I'm not trying to make VOLTE work or whatever. I just want to be able to have LTE as my preferred network and be able to make calls is all.

Edit: Switched to LTE/TDSCDMA/CDMA/EvDO/GSM/WCDMA and it seems to work to call OUT but I cannot receive inbound calls. T-mobile US for what it's worth.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
1. Do you know your Axon variant? China, G, or U?

2. Are you selecting the correct DrakenFX modem for your variant?

3. What ROMs have you used recently, or can go back to, in which your 4G works properly?

In the meantime, try an app from the play store, called 4G Switcher. Read how to use the app. Try switching to LTE/CDMA/UMTS Auto or LTE/UMTS Auto, and make sure all of the ping tests pass.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] cincibluer6:
Thanks guys. I downloaded 4g switcher by Cracky and it is helping a bit. I've tried a manner of things with LTE/CDMA/UMTS auto, LTE/UMTS auto, Global auto, etc. but no go. When selecting a lower option (ie. global, etc.) I can get UMTS but highest data is HSPAP. I have noticed that when selecting LTE/UMTS, etc. that it defaults to using LTE for voice network. I can receive calls when I have a UMTS network but cannot when LTE is selected in any shape or form. I'm guessing that T-mobile is dictating my voice network as being LTE? Appears to be a common theme with T-mobile. I've checked IMS status and am not registered. Radio band is set to automatic (can do US if recommended.)

And with that, we're back at VOLTE. I do not see any setting in settings to disable VOLTE in this ROM nor in the phone settings (I have the stock phone app with the ROM and I also downloaded Google's- can't see it in either.)

Does anyone else have T-mobile US that can tell me if theirs is working properly and what settings are there? I feel like I should be able to set UMTS as my preferred voice network while leaving LTE as the preferred data but I can't see a way to do it.

Edit: EbeatFLA, I've an Axon7 U variant. I am using the OreoModem for U linked in the OP from DrakenFX. I had been using Nougat on this and it worked fine without tweaking. Sadly I don't have a backup of that ROM to go back to. Never had to mess with the settings so no idea what they were. I'm near positive I had flashed the bootstack in that too (which I assume I'd be unable to boot if I hadn't) but if need be can reflash that if I need to.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
No problem. You can forget about Volte. I don't know of any Pie Roms or GSIs that support volte for our device. You'll need to find an Oreo ROM that supports volte to get volte.

The issue you're having, I've heard of in the LOS 15.1 thread. Those users were able to resolve it by selecting the global option.

What method did you use to come to LOS 16 from Nougat? If you're able to EDL, I would try using Oki's EDL package in the LOS 15.1 thread, which should set you up on a functional setup, then try coming to LOS 16 afterwards.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] cincibluer6:
Ahhh ok. I came straight from Nougat (no Oreo stop in between) and just mainly followed the steps in the OP after formatting my data partition (was encrypted.) I'll check out the EDL thing and see how it goes.

Thanks again. Much appreciated. I can stop tearing my hair out so much with this at the moment now.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ma_ko:
Maybe someone has an idea (or can check the issue) about PowerAmp starting on its own? I wrote about it on previous page
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Are you using Play Store version or beta? I had this problem a long time ago until someone turned me on to beta. Beta is so much better, itsamazing how large of a gap there is between the Play Store version and the betas. Don't know why they haven't updated it in the Play Store.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ma_ko:
Yeah, I'm using beta. I wrote on poweramp forum, hopefully they'll check it out.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Yeah, if you haven't already, try out different betas. Switching to beta is what fixed it for me, so idk in your case.

Thanks for the tip on the 4G Switcher. I have the A2017G and the reported problem with the airplane mode. After switching it on/off with LTE it can't reconnect mobile network, some network logs:

With UMTS or GSM no problem, only with LTE. After switch temporarily to UMTS, the switch to LTE works.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] KH_Lionheart:
If you can still get into recovery, just do a full wipe and install the proper bootstack and recovery then reboot recovery before flashing ROM and Gapps. If you can't get into recovery, follow one of the guides to get into edl mode (button combo, reboot edl from fastboot or adb depending on if you can get to fastboot or ftm mode) and flash Oki's simple Lineage 15.1 edl and them reboot to recovery and flash 16, gapps, and whatever else you want.

Some said I need to install bootstack, others not. Some say I need vendor, others say they don't.. I'm a bit confused ?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] machetie:
You need to convert your partition scheme to treble. In other words you need a vendor partition. After having the vendor partition you can flash all treble ROMs like this and that goes without saying even GSI ROMs.

Use this for an easy conversion https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-axon-7-custom-oreo-roms-newbies-t3786693

Help for LineagOS 15

Hello

I need help

At first I had a ZTE axon A2017G since I installed LineageOS 15 it tells me Model ZTE A2017U

I am under TWRP 3.2.3-0

I would like to install LineageOS 16.0

To think about having the prerequisites

- TWRP -> TWRP 3.2.3-0

- My bootloader and well unlocked

bootStack ---> ZTE_A7LOSv1_UniversalBootStack.zip (already do with lineageOS 15.0)

- my specific modem ---> A2017G_OreoModem.zip

I downloaded

- The Rom ---> lineage-16.0-20180918-UNOFFICIAL-axon7

- the gapps ---> open_gapps-arm64-9.0-stock-20181031.zip

But I do not understand what I have to do with the tool: vendor_creation_tool.zip (is it obligatory?)

If yes, can you explain to me the instructions for use

If not, can I install it with TWRP directly as I did with the 15.0

cordially
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] bornlivedie:
If you have lineage 15.1 you don't need the vendor creation tool. Just flash the Rom and gapps

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] AngusDunn:
Hey everyone,

I just installed this ROM coming from AEX and I've got a couple of questions.

Firstly, Pixel Launcher doesn't seem to work for me. It just constantly force closes. I'm using another launcher and everything is fine but I'd like to find out what's going on.

I've attached a photo but it doesn't say much. Happy to get a log if it would help.

Someone has mentioned it previously here but there was no solution mentioned.

Secondly, I'm very sure this doesn't apply to this ROM but I'm hoping someone can help me out. On AEX, twice maybe three times a day my sim card would stop being recognised. I would take my sim card out and put it back in but the only way to find a solution was to restart my phone. I thought coming to this ROM might solve things (it's solved other issues I've had) but the problem persists. I'm sure it's something to do with treble, in the AEX thread it was mentioned that it had something to do with RIL but I haven't read anything about it in this thread.

It's hard to get a log because it happens so sporadically in the day so I'm asking here if there's a solution before I try

Thanks

I had an unexplained crash to DFU too. I was thinking it may have been a victim of "pocket dialing" a key sequence in my case.

The only other weirdness encountered was the loss of sound during a phone call and I went to redial the person and the sound came back, only for me to hear them hanging up.

Neither problem has repeated for me ............yet, so I'm not running back to 15.1 Unofficial at this point.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] CSRoad:
I don't know if this will help the diagnosis at all but mine (A2017U), a clean install had a crash to a black screen and red led that I previously reported.

The only additions were OpenGapps nano and Magisk 17.3.

It happened a second time and I reverted to a 15.1 back-up.

Last night, preferring pie to oreo, I dirty flashed 16.0 over the latest 15.1 Unofficial with OpenGapps and Magisk, with a little bit or resorting of installed apps and it has been solid as a rock since.

Thanks for keeping this moving forward Orden, I hope, with some more info from folks, you can track down the intermittent alignment of stars that causes this.

BTW battery consumption does really seem very good.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] blu3wh0:
I had the same issue the first time I booted, in that it consistently crashed to a red light. However, I resolved this by not installing Magisk immediately, letting it boot without touching/unlocking it for a short time. Even though it looks like it temporarily crashed to a black screen (did not go to red light), it continued then finalizing system setup. After I got past that, I was able to install Magisk and use it without a problem. However, my old fingerprints did not work, so I had to delete them and record new ones.

I'm still on the original universal oreo bootstack w/ fastboot, is there any benefit to using the latest ones released in the last month?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Thunderfalcon:
I had this issue once too. I installed this ROM, GApps and Magisk, that's it.

It turned off and the red LED stayed on.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] CSRoad:
My initial install was no problem and everything seemed stable, the crashes happened later.

As for bootstacks it is beyond my understanding, I'm currently using a fairly recent patched version (CAF-regulator.img) that UnjustifiedDev posted in the 15.1 thread, I don't know if it is still available.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] OrdenKrieger:

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] bedroidapp:
So I am currently using 15.1 using twrp 2.3.0 from Oki's kit. I d like to confirm the steps to upgrade to 16.0 first to avoid issues (assume I have downloaded all the files to sdcard and rebooted to recovery)

- wipe and format system, cache, data, vendor (cache and data formatted as f2fs)

- flash the universal bootloader 2.1 by drakenfx listed in op (it was updated end of October so why not upgrading): can I just flash the zip over the boot partition?

- I already have the oreo modem for the U variant, I assume nothing needed here?

- flash the latest rom

- flash gapps for 9.0 stock

- flash magisk (may be after initial boot)

Am I missing something?

Thanks

I too had several crashes to solid red light and this happened after installing magisk with the Rom. Also crashed when unlocking the phone once and froze another time. Let it boot and sit for a few minutes and didn't crash again. Sorry no logs as not familiar with the logcat process.

I now have magisk installed over Pico gapps and the 14/11 build whilst also afterwards flashing in schwifty 5.8 kernal.
