[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] realfree:
To be honest it is a difficult choice.

Axon 10 pro is great. (600€) But no more 2K screen. Also a notch and that's not an advantage. But of all three phones it's size is the middle ground and it's battery is large.

Oneplus 7 pro is great. However price goes up! (710€) We are entering the way too expensive zone now . Does have a 2k screen and no notch though. Apparently also doesn't get hot. But screen is large witch is a disadvantage in my eyes.

However This videos shows that it's way weaker then phones i used to have. Even if it has a better gorilla glass for some reason it is easier damaged/cracked.

My Zte axon 7 after a few bad falls is still fine. Doesn't have a crack in it.

Xiamic mi 9 (470€) Affordable. Lower battery 3300mAh and the others 4000 mAh. No stereo speakers from what i see.. i think. Smallest of the three and i see that as a bonus.

Honestly if the Zte Axon 10 would have had a 2K screen it would have been perfect.

The details are not all correct either my source of information has some faults in them. I'm waiting for the moment to see what the 5G variations are gonna cost that come out next month.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
Yes, you can use LineageOS 15 & 16 on any model of the phone.

It will not work on ZTE Axon 7s, or the Axon 7 Mini.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] littlenoodles:
This thread seems to have gone dormant. Okay, I guess. The 15.1 thread has too. Question, though? Is this compatible with the unofficial 15.1 ROMs? I'm on one of those, and it's fine (better than fine - I prefer it to anything ZTE ever produced for this phone). But if the unofficial 16.0 is at a similar level of polish and performance, I guess I'd like to try it. But only if I can dirty flash it over my 15.1 unofficial ROM - and more importantly, dirty flash back if I don't like it...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
There's no way to dirty flash a Pie rom over an Oreo one. You'll have to clean flash it. I'm pretty sure LOS 16 has the same level of smoothness, but you'll find some bugs here and there.

bricked flashing bootloader, heeeeeelp!

Comming from Liquid, wanted to try this rom...ended in only fastboot mode. Axon tool does not recognizes. Adb/fastboot installed a twrp, but on restart the red menu only shows. Volume down key is broken for some time. Only can boot in fastmode.

So, what should I try? Thank you.

Anyhow, here you go.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ls117:
Can't even install the zip and I've done everything right. Right files, right vendor tool, right twrp, right order, 'failed to map zip'. This is INFURIATING. Gave up on liquidremix because v4a literally refuses to process. For some strange reason it works on speaker but not on headset, but it strangely worked on youtube.....................until I played a song and it just stopped. Thought lineage would be a better option but I forgot I had this issue before. Already searched the thread to see if anyone else had the same problem, no results. Google isn't really helpful. I don't wanna go back to oreo but pie is trash for me right now. All I need to work is v4a and this is becoming a recurring chore.

NVM, I was using the party tool and not the one in this thread.

I just hope v4a actually works after I'm done setting up lineage.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choose an username...:
Did you enable compatibility mode? Or try installing audmodlib?

Edit: Lol, you're the same guy. anyhow that might fix your problem. I'm using V4A 2.7.x on AEX gsi and it works flawlessly without any other mods.

Btw there's a Telegram group for v4a
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ls117:
I know about the telegram group, people are having issues there too and not really getting any help beyond simple fixes. It sounds like you're on an oreo rom, I'm thinking the problem is Pie. In the v4a thread a lot of people on Pie seem to have trouble getting it to work. Think I'm just gonna downgrade. I don't like being vulnerable, but music is the primary reason I bought the phone. If v4a doesn't work or requires me to jump through hoops I can't even see, the rom isn't worth it.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choose an username...:
Nope. I've used V4A 2.7 on whichever AEX GSI is the current one, which is Pie. Also been able to make it work on Liquid via audio mod lib but that was a week after v4a 2.7 came out, so a long time now.

What vendor are you using? I don't know if that's going to be the cause of your problems but it might as well be worth comparing?

My setup is AEX Pie GSI with Speedy 6.2 and Baddar RC1.1, magisk 19, draken's b20 v2 bootstack

Btw if you're not like most of the others on that group and actually use some brainpower to take logs, he will most probably try and help you. Right when it came out there was this problem where it just didn't work unless you rebooted or installed audmodlib or other stuff, and he made some test builds for people to try a week after. It's true, most people on most forums are more of the "is broken pls fix" type, and eventually forget
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ls117:
I was using that same setup on liquid. Except the bootstack, I used the universal 15.1 draken zip. And 19.3 magisk technically. I didn't flash speedy for lineage yet. Brain dead or not(and they are), I think its reasonable to expect to not have to do so much to get something working. Especially if he's gonna hold the vdc's over people's heads.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choose an username...:
the old vdc's are there though - i agree it's kinda bull$hitty that you have to search for them, but yeah. i actually bought one though.

What about older v4a's? They should work, and the sound should be exactly the same
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] RobMahn:
I too have stumbled over this problem. Outbound works, but no ringing or notification of and inbound call.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ls117:
I decided to go with AEX too, unfortunately you're too right about it working without any other mods. Ainur and AML seem to break the driver. Still, after trying probably 5 different roms, wiping and flashing, restoring google backups multiple times a day, just being frustrated overall for 3 days trying to make v4a work, I had the biggest smile when it finally processed. Hopefully the issue with Ainur and AML breaking V4A get fixed. The messed up thing is I think my problem with V4A this whole time might have just been DVC in Poweramp. I forgot you were supposed to disable that. Not sure about giving Lineage another chance though.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choose an username...:
God, really? I was about to ask you if you were using Poweramp lol

Ainur is probably just placebo tbh. Most people I know agree that it's not a game changer. And in my case V4A doesn't work unless I have AML installed, so there's that

Don't give Lineage another chance, unless you really want it and are willing to use Oreo. Unofficial 15.1 is the only worthwhile one for now. AEX is more than fine

So I see you share your kernel source, but where is the LOS16 device tree, which you know has to be shared as well?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] olus:
its top secret code he will never share. because he will get in jail when he shares this! stop asking for this!

maybe the zte-agents will visit you if you dont stop.. or zte will ban the rest of the world because they are sharing code from zte. or they will abuse the oreo release.. or.. or..

Great job, great rom, very stable.

I was coming from offical LOS 15.1

I have first wiped system, data, internal storage, cache, dalvik cache.

I have then installed it along with opengapps (micro) and magisk

Everything is working, battery life is very good.

and the infamous bug of google photos that was crashing is gone.

Help please ?!!

Note

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] truc113:
yes of course, but you're not developing on this device anymore and obviously no longer needing code related to axon7 anymore.

I suppose this code is pretty fundamental for pie based dev on this device as LOS is usually the most stable rom one can find, usually the "mother" of other roms.

so why not making it public for other people still interested in this device? instead of keeping it only for yourself even if you won't ever use it anymore.

that would be really kind of you and could save quite some time to any further developer willing to work on this still great device.

may the gods change your mind :)

From all the talk that I've seen about this, it seems that GPS doesn't work in LOS16 (maps will use cellular and known wi-fis for location). It does work on ViperOS Pie but with some bootstacks (B04 does the job, also seems like some B20 'stacks work).

Maybe it's also dependent of the bootstack on LOS
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] apoha:
Thanks for the latest build and source. This is the best rom I think. Hi-Res playing through AKM 4490 DAC is working great.

Also GPS working fine here. (deactivated Assisted GPS, picked only device GPS and to be sure deactivated all network and wi-fi data)

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Snaptraks:
I do too, I installed MagiskHide Props Config, installed the fingerprint for the Axon 7 (8.0.0) but I got a bootloop. If anyone got it working I'd be happy to know what config they used!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] FunkyRasta:

Did you use the 8.0.0 fingerprint? I'll have to try again if so.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] FunkyRasta:
Yes, 8.0.0. Make sure you have BusyBox installed, but I don't think props would work at all without it

Once I do that do I just drop them in my Lineage OS 16 repo and build? Or is there something else that I need to do? Thanks for your help.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
If you're wanting to build LineageOS, then make a folder in your ~ directory, and sync the Los 16 repo into it, and git clone each one of the Axon's repos into the folder.

ex:

Kernel sources cloned into kernel/zte/msm8996

Device sources cloned into device/zte/axon7

Vendor sources cloned into vendor/zte

Then you can start building.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] FunkyRasta:
Nope. It might have been vendor issue also. All GSIs I've tested had subpar performance
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Young Gunna:

Thanks lol. Your link wasn't taking me to that post which was weird.

Also i think i have ran into a problem... so at the step

"5. At the prompt, type:

cd /sdcard/Download

chmod +x migration.sh

./migration.sh unofficial"

I typed in ./migration.sh unofficial wrong.. i wrote it "unoffical". So it didn't go through, then i continued the steps and installed the ROM and everything. The booting of my phone was taking too long, waited about 20mins and didnt boot. Then i went back and found out i typed it int wrong. So i typed it in right and reflashed the ROM only again and wiped the cache... Did i ruin the flash? Do i have to flash a 15.1 rom and then follow the steps or have i bricked my phone? It's currently been booting for 5mins (stuck on the lineage boot logo)

Edit: Fixed it by going back and forth.. god Android 9 is hideous lmao

Edit 2: Just found out it was magisk causing me boot loops. Anyone know any fixes? I tried uninstalling it with a script but the script said magisk wasn't installed after i just flashed it

Edit 3: tried reflashing unofficial build again and now im stuck in a boot loop again...

I have a problem with the last ROM version 20190729.

I don't know if anyone noticed it at all, but with every reboot my Wifi adapter gets a new virtual MAC address. For many this may not be a problem, but with my home network an additional MAC address filtering is stored as security, so that I had to enter the new address after each restart of the device (otherwise I would probably never have noticed the bug).

The Version 20190728 doesn't have the problem and works as it should.
