i dont get to pass it. google pay will not add a creditcard to my acc because "its rooted".

maybe its because of encryption or selinux mode, dont know. i hope this will fixed.. dont want to go back to los15.1 just because of nfc payment.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Kleva94:
Magisk says for me it passes safetynet, but ctsProfile is set false.

Did you use magisk hide on your google pay? because my mobile pay app doesnt allow root as well, but it works if i use magisk hide on it.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jrotaetxe:
Yes. The connections are stablished normally. Have BT in car and with my smartwatch.

Thank you wolfblade and bornlivedie for your kind tips. Seems that something is very wrong with my phone as:

1.- In every reboot has to check the SD card. This seems to drive to another problems as seems to "forget" where are the different sounds (I map them in the SD card) that I program to know different type of contacts

calling or sending me messages.

2.- Already checked with the ui tuner, and the icon was activated, but no icon in the status bar. The bluetooth is switching on and off normally.

Regards
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] bornlivedie:
Seems that you need to format everything and try again. If that doens't help, flash stock again via EDL.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jrotaetxe:
Format

1.- Data

2.- System

3.- Vendor

4.- Cache

5.- Dalvik

???
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] haerwu:
Yes it is possible.

Install "MagiskHide Props Config" module and then use it to change phone fingerprint (I used original ZTE Axon 7 one). With this you get SafetyNet passed fully and Google Pay works fine.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] BigMatza:
I've been on stock up until this point, and I'm planning to make the jump to LOS. I'm actually having a hardware issue with A2017U, and will be receiving an advance replacement in a few days. So I'll be outfitting the replacement with LOS. But the timing couldn't be dicier.

Personally, it's a little early for me to jump on v16. v15.1 is still unofficial, but sounds like it will become official soon. I'll probably go straight to v15.1, regardless.

So here's my question: Are there any preparations I could do for v15.1, that will make an eventual v16 upgrade easier, but won't adversely impact installation or operation of v15.1? I'm hoping these preparations would circumvent the need for a data wipe during my eventual v16 upgrade.

Bonus question (for extra credit :P): When v15.1 becomes "official", will the initial source code be identical to the most recent unofficial build/revision at that time? Or is there some kind of refactoring process that occurs when a LOS ROM goes official? Just looking to avoid any major process in moving from the unofficial to the official.

And thanks, OrdenKrieger, for all your fantastic work on this and the v15.x ROMs for the Axon 7!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] olus:
tried this days ago.

when starting props with terminal, editing fingerprint is disabled for me. read somewhere that fingerprint editing is disabled in pie.

will try again.. thanks!

btw. i pass safetynet too, its just cts profile that fails.

edit: now it works.

"Edit device fingerprint"*will be disabled if another Magisk module that is known to also edit the device fingerprint is installed. Check the logs to get information about which module this is."

Phone gets stuck on penguin screen during boot after flashing Schwifty v4.

Happens on AEX 8.1 as well.

Any reason why?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
What version of TWRP are you using?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
3.2.1-8 treble from nfound
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
I'm assuming you're also using the Treble version of Schwifty. Not sure what would cause it to stick on Penguin. Maybe post the issue in the Schwifty thread so the dev can help you troubleshoot.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
Yeah I am, and I guess I'll have to check out the Schwifty thread. Thanks for the quick replies though!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] lost0ne:
I'm having a wierd issue where it sits on the device is corrupt screen twice. After I hit power to continue booting, I also get the penguin screen. It eventually boots but it's a bit on the annoying side. Anyone else have this issue?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ramnkc:
Its normal, you probably had flashed Draken universal oreo bootstack which will give you penguin logo after the boot logo warning page... just hit power to continue boot or refer to los15.1 op thread https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/development/unofficial-lineageos-15-1-zte-axon-7-t3800214 to get the penguin remove.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] hamzter1989:
There is no Penguin or Red Warning with the NFound bootstack.

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=674106145207492480

Can you also flash later to remove the warning

(at least worked for me)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] olus:
this also removes the warning where you need to wait 5secs? or just the red warning right after that? the red warning is gone after i entered something in terminal emulator weeks ago. but the other warning annoys me.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] voetbalremco:
Yes, booting goes directly, without any mentions of an unlocked bootloader.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choose an username...:
wouldn't that bootstack make the audio bug return?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] xerocopy:
It's from Schwifty Kernel thread.

Not sure, but I think they talk about B12 bootstack.

Edit: Patch to remove warning has same md5 hash as in Nfound B12 Bootstack (file named emmc_appsboot.mbn inside b12)

It should be safe to use this patch on universal bootstack.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] bornlivedie:
not bootstack related

you can flash it without issues

it's only fixed in Los16, have in mind. Will be present in GSIs.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choose an username...:
yes, i know. But it should be as easy as porting the new HALs to the old nfound package according to SaintZ
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] bornlivedie:
Better yet, make the los16 Vendor Files compatible with other GSIs. We need to forget about nfound's work. It was sloppy.

Los 16 contains fixes not present in nfound's vendor files.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choose an username...:
ofc. but it would be a faster solution not to do that for now lol
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] olus:
flashed nfounds b12 to remove warning. it worked, but changed my twrp (dont know if i gave permission during russian aroma installer) and more annoying it changed my lockscreen pin so i had to delete some files with twrp file manager. removing lockscreen security before flashing this bootstack is the way to go. after this you can add fingerprint etc again.

reflashed twrp from op. everything seems fine so far.

thanks to everyone, especially devs, for perfect pie rom on axon7!

everything is fixed, now we can wait for los features and maybe devs optimize device specific parts. thanks!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Dodgexander:
Would also like to know this! Is the DAC functional?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] hamzter1989:
it removes both warnings!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] xerocopy:
But LOS16 vendor can't be used with Oreo roms (API 28), is that correct?

Why we will get two separated vendor (LOS 15.1 and LOS16 vendor)? Does 27API Vendor has advantage over 28API?

Just asking because of Xposed, it's not ready for Pie.

AK4961 (good DAC) works on LOS16, not sure about AK4490 (premium DAC).

LOS15.1 sounds better for me.

One more question. Does DAC (AK4961) works fine for GSI roms?

I read somewere that MSM820 DAC is wired directly to AK4961 DAC, but AK4490 need additional links to libraries on GSI roms.

I live in my own lies.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
So I managed to get Schwifty v4 working. I did a full clean flash. I flashed NFound's B12 bootstack, and then flashed ROM, gapps, schwifty, and then magisk.

Launched perfectly and schwifty is working. One problem though. I don't see the magisk app at all after flashing. Root doesn't seem to be working either, and I've tried reflashing magisk to no avail.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] xerocopy:
Weird, try to install MagiskManager manually.

Apk is in archive. (Magisk-v17.1.zip/common/magisk.apk)

Maybe it is because of gapps.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
Alright so installing the apk worked, but only partially it seems safety check shows ctsprofile as false. Root works however, and I tested it with an app; TitaniumBackup.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] olus:
read a few post back. there is a magic module which can fix this ctsprofile warning. magichideprops or something. it fixed google pay fully working for me and others just few days ago..
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
worked! thank you very much!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] privatedoodle:
Thanks for this great ROM! Two quick questions:

1. I have a weird audio issue where I can't hear the person calling me when I receive an incoming call. I know that this exists on other ROMs but I haven't seen a solution anywhere for it. Does anybody know what causes this?

2. I've tried several different modules and zips to change the fonts but none of them seem to work. Does Pie handle fonts in a different way from other versions of Android?

Thanks!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] xerocopy:
1. Had similar problem, I forget to flash G modem European Version. (I was on Oreo rom with Nougat modem).

There was speaker bug on LOS 14 and other roms. You have to turn on and off loud speaker when calling.

Did you flash correct modem?

2. LOS 16.0 doesn't have some features (Privacy Guard, Recorder), OMS (theme engine) may don't work as supposed.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] privatedoodle:
Yep, I flashed the A2017U modem in the OP. From what I can tell, turning on and off the speaker doesn't help. But I've only been on short calls so far, haven't had much time to test yet.

Haven't played with any theming tools yet. I can use a font app to swap out each system font one at a time, but the magisk modules and flashable zips don't work for switching all the fonts at once. Not a big deal at all, just curious about how all those things work.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nfsmw_gr:
You're completely wrong about the chips.

The AK4961 isn't even a DAC.

I suggest researching more before answering falsely to others.

"The AK4490EN inherits high quality sound technologies of the AK4490EQ that has been adopted by many audio products since it was launched in 2014. Axon7 is the first smartphone to launch in the market using this ultimate sound solution.In addition, the AK4961 enables a natural sound recording by utilizing a derivative of AKM's advanced ADC technology used in today's recording studios enabling a professional level PCM recorder. This key feature is utilized during Video recording, Karaoke and other multimedia applications. This recording performance is also improved by an advanced noise cancelling algorithm running on the AK4961."

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] xerocopy:
You are completely right!

My apologize for planting lies.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Mart Son:
Just flash APK from ZIP. All will work
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] OrdenKrieger:
Normally I wouldn't replay on this topic, but since I run in a similar issue with Magisk, just in case. After first flash and boot into system, you'll need to reboot again. After that there will be a Magisk stub app which acts as placeholder for the original app. Open this stub app and this will download the newest version and ask you to install it.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nfsmw_gr:
haha.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Dodgexander:
I'm confused, what relevance is another DAC working when it's not the DAC the axon 7 uses?

Either the DAC with our phone is working with this ROM or it's not.

DAC definitely isn't working with GSIs. In fact currently no GSIs work with the vendor files used for LOS16.

Edit # question remains unanswered. Does our DAC work with LOS16? :)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] TeutonJon78:
The audio is really two parts: Premium Audio DAC (AK4490EN) and Advanced Audio DSP CODEC (AK4961)

There is also the DAC built in to the SD820, but this is not wired up to anything (hence why we can't get FM radio -- no antennas going in, and no output coming out).

If you get sound from your phone, the DAC itself is working. I don't know how to verify if the "hires" mode version is working though.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
ah I see. this seemed to work. ctsprofile is still false though, but no problems as the fix was found.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] bornlivedie:
I also want to know about this.

So far, we rely on [MENTION=5027381]OrdenKrieger[/MENTION] comments. It would be nice to have a confirmation, and better yet, a way to confirm if it's truly working or not, something you can replicate in other roms/devices on our own without having to ask the developer/maintainer of the rom.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] docentore:
Absolutely not true. AK4961 is DAC among with ADC (Analog Digital Converter) - for inputs.

Please do not spread false information before checking the facts ;)

(Best source for technical info on ICs is their datasheets: https://www.akm.com/akm/en/file/datasheet/AK4961ECB.pdf )
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nfsmw_gr:
In this specified usage scenario of the Axon 7 device, which chip is wired to output audio?

The AK4691 in the Axon 7 is used to record afaik, not output.

Also the main purpose of the AK4691 is for digital sound processing and recording mainly, not playback.

So yeah, I don't think I'm mistaken. :)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] OrdenKrieger:
If everything goes well, a new build will drop today.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] docentore:
Yeah, whatever. AKM datasheet says it is DAC, you say it's not. If you believe you are not mistaken - well, man, its your opinion :D
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] bornlivedie:
So? It's a dac, sure, but it's not used to output sound.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] docentore:
It does not matter if it is used for output (are we 100% sure about this - don't think so), he said that AK4691 is not a DAC and started to tell people to do check the facts etc. If you don't know what are you talking about do not say to other people what and what not to do.

PS. show me proof that AK4691 is not used as DAC. In Axon 7 mini AK4692 (upgraded version of 4691) is used as one.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Mart Son:
[MENTION=5027381]OrdenKrieger[/MENTION]: will the update contain a new vendor Image? For GSI there is only the one from Nfound who left us and will not be advanced.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Kleva94:
Can I just dirty flash the new build together with the new gapps over the old ones?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Dodgexander:
The difference between ours and the mini is the mini shares is DAC with the rest of the chip.

Our phone has a separate DAC, presumably to keep amplification and recording separate from output resulting in better quality.

I always thought the hifi switch just turned on using our DAC. When off I thought it used the Snapdragon DAC.

If what's mentioned is correct the Snapdragon DAC isn't used at all.

So at a bare minimum if this is right we always have dedicated DAC audio, just using the integrated DAC instead of the dedicated one.

That aside, all that matters really is if los16 works with the dedicated rather the integrated DAC.

After flashing update + today's gapps each app crashes and phone switches off after a minut or so.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ibphantom:
Same issue. Just flashed the same thing and my phone is fully charged, wont use Nova launcher, then shuts down after System UI crashes a couple times.

I really don't want to clean flash it because restoring takes forever.

For anyone else who attempted a dirty flash, I was able to clear cache and dalvik, flashed 08-21 and the new OpenGapps 9.0 stock and everything was back to how it was with no data loss.

Same issues as others. Dirty flash + OpenGApps + Magisk 17.1 resulted in numerous apps crashing, eventually resulting in the whole phone crashing. Only way to recover was to go back to 8/21 but with same latest OpenGApps + Magisk 17.1
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Blurk:
Did you have an SD card inserted? I had the same issues after dirty flashing this update, removing my SD card allowed me to boot normally (no more crashing and shutting down after a few seconds).
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] blu3wh0:
I did, but did it work after you put the SD card back in? I'm also having a small issue with OpenGApps in that it keeps pestering me to finish setup even after I already did it. Or the asking me to restore data to finish setup...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Blurk:
It didn't, though I did only try once. I faced the same issues as before so I'm just going to leave it out in the meantime. I'm on a clean flash now and I'm not facing any issues (using official OpenGApps as well). :)

Just tried without my SD card and everything booted fine. I put my SD back in and reboot, I have issues. I tried repairing the SD in TWRP, but that didn't fix anything.

If I'm speculating properly from the last time this happened, it looks like the only way to fix this is to backup your SD, format and restore. Check the app store for updates as apps previously saved to the SD will not be compatible anymore and some may have uninstalled altogether.

Did anyone clean flash and re-used their previous SD card? I don't mind clean flashing, although it is a pain, but formatting the SD card and copying files back to it is a bigger frustration. I only use it as standard file storage, not as extended memory to specifically avoid this type of issue.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] CSRoad:
I had the reported problems with a dirty flash.

So I wiped everything including the external SD card, but not internal storage.

With a fresh install with the latest OpenGapps nano and magisk 7.1 the Google setup choked and rebooted right where it was looking for SIM Cards.

I shut it off pulled the micro sd card and rebooted so far all is well, the install completed fine, I have not yet tried reinstalling the Micro sd card.

Update: Setup the micro SD card as portable storage and everything seems stable.

I'm keep going with this build on my phone for at least another day as it seems good now.

Next Update: I tried to stick it out, but was getting crashes with warm reboots on what seemed to be mostly video or screen related issues.

I need the phone working today so I dirty flashed back to 8/21 and other than losing the Digital Clock widget from the screen for some reason, the reversion looks workable.

I'm happy to test, but hoping for a smoother road soon.

Many thanks to OrdenKrieger and the other devs and various contributors for the progress.
