I'm totally unable to get my video recording working. Any app just records a tiny, unplayable file. I've tried flashing the fix, no dice. Does anyone know how I can get it working?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] xXDomXx:
Yes, do you use Schwifty Kernel in any Version?

Then reflash rom without flashing Schwifty. This solved my problem.

Even with the new beta I had this problem, so I'm waiting for the new stable Version to test it again.

Does that affect 16 and are there any other issues

What about mounting of USB devices? Has that been fixed?

On the other side it could be a choice. Go to work to earn some money or spend some time on building software for phone users. When you need that money you have to choose. So you go to work. Or ask for money for your time spent on building that software.

I see how it works with some of my friends where income from donations allow them to spend time on delivering new episodes of podcasts etc instead of getting extra job to cover costs of living. We (as users listening to podcasts) pay them few euros they give us some good stuff for listening.

I also saw here a lot od developpers who abandonned their projects without leading them even to usable betas and ran to take a part of race of making new edition.

That happened to me on my previous devices... especially with RR roms... dev quits without warning... not even info that project will be abandonned and few weeks later I see his new project because he wants to be first to make Oreo... childish.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] haerwu:
Do you pay them to do those releases? Most of work landing on XDA is done by volunteers in their free time. Expecting time based releases of well tested software from them is imho too much.

People want to play with new things on their devices. That's normal.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] yarecco:
I pay ZTE, Huawei, Leeco, HTC or others for their releases.

Jusat write on top of the site that this is a paid software. Or just a playground.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] bornlivedie:
Are we still fighting over this?

Don't like it? Don't donate. No one's making you do it.

Any dev has the right to dissappear, abandon the project, buy a new device or whatever. No one is paying them a salary, there's no obligation.

To keep it topic related, I am currently on the official 15.1 with [MENTION=319057]Oki[/MENTION] bootstack.

Can I just wipe system, data, vendor and cache and flash 16.1?

Anyone has a list of known issues? I m currently having slownesses with 15.1 when I unlock the screen. Currently have no screen lock to workaround the issue. Fingerprint is slow (between 3 seconds and never waking up although vibrating)

[MENTION=5668623]bedroidapp[/MENTION] i just did that, it's working. do it.

i have one problem for now, i get the message "issue with SanDisk SD card".

i have 2 options: use it for extra phone storage OR portable storage; when i try select one of the it's want me to format the SD.

it's 200GB SD card i don't feel like backing up all files to PC.

the SD was ok with LOS15.1 and stock.

:(

how to fix?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ratoune:
No real issues that I can think off. Quite smooth overall. I've settled on that after playing with LOS15 and other Pie GSIs, great ROM so far (for my use)

Just sometimes the network mode seems to not stick after a reboot so I have to put it back to global for me, but no real impact.

If your not happy with your battery you can change the setting in battery option to something more efficient and lose a bit of smoothness.

If needed install magisk 17.2, works good, 17.1 had some issues
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] bd177:
You will have to format the SD card , right now exFat is not supported. Hopefully they will add support. :(
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] icelight_:
From what i can tell exFAT support is being added to LOS 16, it's probably just not merged yet. Sadly for now we're stuck with FAT, which is pretty useless.

Any ideas on making slow motion working? I've tryed some apps like arnova's google camera and open camera but it seems not working...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ma_ko:
I installed LOS 16 on my A2017G yesterday without problems (well almost: didnt have any keyboard at first only voice typing so i had to flash one) and can't believe how quick and snappy can it be but I have some questions which I hope you can answer:

1. Is it possible to change the clock position from top left corner to top right corner? Changing it in options doesnt seem to have any effect.

2. Is is possible to change LTE symbol to 4G/4G+?

3. I don't have a camera app. Do you recommend any from the Play Store or is it possible to flash stock one? I found this https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/themes/zte-camera-flashable-zip-t3553638 but I don't know if it'll be working on Pie

4. Which messaging app do you recommend? I don't have it either.

5. I also noticed today that when I'm calling someone nothing happens, I mean I type number and push the phone icon (I installed Google dialer from the play store) and the call connects but the display stay the same: I have no indicator whatsoever that I initiated the call - it still the screen with the typed number and phone icon to push...

Thanks in advance
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] olus:
you should flash a better gapps package like gapps mini. there is android messages, gboard etc included.

i think you flashed pico or nano.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ma_ko:
Well, I flashed micro, didnt want the unnecessary stuff. I already solved the problem with dialer and messaging app. The main question is about the camera app now.

Is the bootloader by Oki on the LOS 15.1 thread compatible with this LOS 16.1?

It supports EDL and I d like to keep that.

Do I need to format vendor along with system data and caches when coming from another rom?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] RedWave31:
AFAIR, you need

- the B12 bootstack and not the mixed one for LOS 16.0 (not 16.1 btw).

- the party tool

- vendor 1.1

- twrp 3.3 labs modified (depending on encryption, the absolute minimum is 3.2.1-8 with treble support by Nfound)

- opengapps

If you're lucky, I went from 8.0 Stock Beta to 15.1 to 16.0 without a single data wipe.

However, you might not be able to do a dirty upflash (8.0 Beta to 16.0).

Since you're talking about vendor I bet you're already on 15.1. Remember to upgrade to vendor 1.1, I don't remember what the .1 is upgrading but hey, always the latest ^^
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Vendor 1.1 is completely unnecessary because LOS 15.1 and 16 flash their own vendor when flashing the ROM. So 1.1 is just being overwritten in your process.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] RedWave31:
From the 16.0 own manifest, it's UPDATING the vendor partition.

This might come from differences in compression, but vendor 1.1 is 150mb, 860mb extracted. LOS 16 Vendor is 100mb.

AFAIK, I've never seen anyone but you say that they wiped vendor, flashed 16.0 and that everything is working.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] pingouin47:
Me! But with LOS 15.1. I guess it should be the same with LOS 16.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] RedWave31:
That's interresting. It means that in the future, if a rom builder doesn't update vendor AND the rom at the same time, we might get outdated vendor partitions.

However, that LOS build isn't a true GSI image. If I remember correctly, GSI images aren't supposed to have ANYTHING about vendor in them.

I believe this is a temporary exception, not likely present in other roms.

Too bad this is adding useless weight in the ROM then.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Mart Son:
Nfounds vendor is more outdated then los 15 or 16. Thats the only reason why i Stick with the Axon 7. Because there is some more developement going with los...

Los hast both. System and vendor partition.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Yeah, this is not a GSI, there is an entirely different forum on XDA for GSIs. There are plenty other devices with ROMs that have their own vendor, just like LOS 15.1 and 16 for us. Users on those other devices are flashing those ROMs to use their vendor, then flashing the GSI over it. Just like I've been doing with LOS 15.1. I use the 15.1 vendor with Arrow Pie GSI.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Slim K:
using Arrow os right now. October 2nd build. nice battery life 5-6 SoT easily flashed over 9/25 LOS vendor

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Young Gunna:
Yep the no ext support on external sd cards is really the biggest thing missing... Just note that without it there largest file size you can put on your card is 4gb which could effect your ability to backup your phone.

Oh and privacy guard isn't working yet... If that's something you use.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dr3am_r:
Is the new bootstack of the official Oreo of any use? Is it different/better than what we already have from B12? Not to mention currently there are no kernel sources from tne final build.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dr3am_r:

Battery much better than old with stock still I just ordered a new battery to recover that 35% I've lost over the years.

Couple of bugs I've noticed

- click on call (launch) dialer does not work across multiple apps (maps, facebook, etc)

- Certain apps with stickers don't work (can't again click and add the sticker)

Question is sound through the speakers true stereo?, or do I need to flash something else, sound is loud but not as rich as before (at least that's what I feel, from using stock for a looooooooooong time)

The battery issue is here since beta B01/B12 bootstack which is present also with lineage 15/16 as we have no other bootstack currenly. Pie is more optimised so battery is better on lineage 16 than 15 but battery is stil not what it was on stable Nougat bootstack / Nougat OS, at least this is my opinion.

Waiting for someone to confirm if the bootstack of oficial Oreo is better than the B12 beta.

I am considering move to LOS 15.1 as it is now official otherwise.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Zobat:
I would advice to install the latest Los 15 because it's updated vendor stuff. After that I suggest arrow os. Take a look at the threat about different gsi roms.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] bornlivedie:
All of the gsi are the same since they use the same vendor partition

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] olus:
so with [MENTION=5027381]OrdenKrieger[/MENTION] is being busy, cant another dev just build with his sources once a month, so we just get security patch and los feature updates? no bugfixes, i know. but the left bugs arent very important so far.

now after zte official released oreo, maybe the devs can share their sources so we can continue having an up to date rom.

If you have problems with the setup and with installing apks, todays gapps-build should fix it.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Oki:
The official 3.2.3 and the one created by OrdenKrieger are the same. Nonetheless none of them are properly configured to show the vendor partition in the GUI for backup/restore/wipe. That is easy and only requires the modification of a couple of config files prior to build them.

The second problem, encryption, is related to the bootstack blobs used to build the image. Probably [MENTION=5027381]OrdenKrieger[/MENTION] or [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] could release a 3.2.3-1 version with Vendor management and encryption support. They have the Device tree, the vendor blobs and the kernel sources to build an updated TWRP version for our device. Problably they do not have time for it.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] OrdenKrieger:
1. Idk may be fixed in the future

2. Expected, we changed the HAL without changing the prop, will be fixed in the next build.

3. Expected, there is no stable build of GApps yet

7. That's because your bootloader is unlocked, ask Google, that's bc their restrictions.

8. Same -II-

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] h3ndrik:
thanks for the information. probably the best thing would be to send that upstream to the twrp developers, so we wouldn't need custom releases every time? At least the encryption stuff should have settled a bit by now... (but what do i know) :o
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Oki:
[MENTION=5672995]jcadduono[/MENTION] is still the official maintainer of the TWRP for the Axon 7 since he was the last one submitting the standard source. Since then, all the new releases are automatically build from his device tree sources. Only developers using the B12 based sources could provide them to TeamWin so we could have updated releases. So far, only [MENTION=5027381]OrdenKrieger[/MENTION], [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5492451]NFound[/MENTION] have developed those sources.

The problem is still there. TWRP 3.2.1-8 is buggy, but it is the only one able to backup data encrypted by any B12 Bootstack based ROMs. And the sources for that TWRP are not available either. Otherwise it would be a work of just a few hours.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] h3ndrik:
yeah, i think our devs announced they wanted to release all(?) the sources after zte released oreo. so i hope that will happen soon. at the moment the situation is a bit 'unbeautiful' with so many edge-cases to remember and nothing for the general public (like me) to do to make things better, except for waiting.

Wiped data, system, vendor and dalvik from NFound's TWRP and flashed TWRP on this topic.

First flashed bootstack. Then ROM, gapps and magisk and reboot.

I noticed too much heat. But it is okay now. Camera is darker on night. Didn't try on day yet. Vibration is not normal. Too much vibration and I can hear it like notification sound ? Atakan can confirm it. No more feedback for now but vibration should fix immediately.

If you flash this or use any Treble base rom (Vendor Partition), YOU CAN'T flash a normal rom / Non-Treble rom (Can't use official roms) and you're device WON'T boot and you'll have to flash a treble base rom.
