This definitely does feel like the best ROM for our device so far. Is everyone using it with stock or schwifty kernel? Glad this dev has stuck with us when our community is lacking. Expect some donations later on! Will test everything because this is looking like my new favorite. This could be the rom that brings new life to this phone

Hmm only viper working for now. On some ROMs, Dolby app shows if flashed with lower magisk firmware but bootlooops if tried here. Maybe the same method to get nougat ui dolby will work with dot the same as los
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Predatorhaze:
Good ROM yes,but havoc is better,it got features none other ROM has.

And this ROM need updates.

I use it with swifty beta vb5.6.

DotOS has stopped being developed officially, with them working towards DotOS 3.0 Pie, and not adding anything new for 2.5

It's only going to be bugfixes and security updates from now.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] anon1135:
Dot should be better for me if it doesnt have app opening delay and audio bug like outdated havoc. The toggles and setting icons look similar enough and I dont remember which extra features havoc has but dot good enough IMO and with latest security patch. Not having Oreo Dolby is its only problem I wish there was a way to make it work i'll try. Viper for now is a start. Dot also has a dev that's still around
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Predatorhaze:
Dolby atmos works,ther is a working version shared on telegram.After flashing you need to wipe dalvik cache.But this build of dotos knows his problems.No more stable for me after some reboots
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] anon1135:
I never used telegram before do u know if it's the oreo or nougat UI Dolby? And what kind of problems are u having? Stable for me atm and doesn't look like it'll mess up. Will install tg to check
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Predatorhaze:
Oreo dolby,its shared in swifty telegram group.No idea where he grabbed it from

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] anon1135:
I'm actually having a lot of trouble getting it to work myself. There are no clear instructions yet like which magisk version to be on, the order of flashing and which zips to use. Without that there will be a lot of trial and error. I think I only read about 2 people getting it to work

Great ROM but unfortunately after installing OpenGapps, have a constant problem with Android Auto and Play Services. ("Something went wrong. Google Play services doesn't seem to be working at the moment.).

I've never had this problem with any other ROM.

i think i have found the source that cause huge battery drains.

Drain is caused by modem signal (RF Signal),this is already long time known.

I want to ask for a solution,but there probably isnt any solution

---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 AM ----------

what mods you have installed?

also its required after dolby flash you wipe dalvik art and cache!! dont forget this

---------- Post added at 11:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 AM ----------

What is sys folder? can we edit it? wipe it?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] anon1135:
No mods I tried it right after clean flash boot. Tried wipe dalvik and cache too. I haven't seen huge battery drain yet when I used it without Dolby. I would test it more if I got Dolby working. Another problem I'm having is titanium not seeing my backup when I try to restore apps
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Predatorhaze:
Don't flash on clean install.Let it boot first without Dolby,set everything up and then flash it in twrp,make sure your magisk/root works
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Zobat:
You configured the backup location?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Pointro:
I just wanna say that this is great ROM. After more usage, the only bug see is the aforementioned weather not showing up.

The contacts bug I had was the substratum "mobile broadcasts" theme eventually crashing on me.

Issue is with latest versions of GAPPS. Somebody pinpointed that 2018-9-10 as the last build where they work fine, I am using that one, I use Android Auto on a daily basis with dotOS and it works.

It turns out that gapp wants to connect to check for upgrades.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] mikej73:
no a simple swap is free. you only have to pay if you want to program the buttons to do other stuff. since all the roms went treble button swapping has been disappearing from all of them. the button mapper app was such a godsend i happily bought the paid version and programed long press split screen on the recents button which i moved to the left and long press kill app on the back button i moved to the right.

Is selinux in enforcing mode on this?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] anon1135:
Nvm for some it works with my old backups but not the latest one I backed up recently

Yeah enforcing by default

If there are more people who got Dolby working besides only 1 person, please let me know!

If it is a problem develop a ROM yourself. Quit going around complaining to everyone in every thread, deal with what you get because you are lucky you get anything at all. We devs put our own spare time in to this stuff and its people like who who ruin it. So if you dont have anything better to say then dont speak at all.

You can always ask for a refund...oh wait, you got it for free from someone who works on it in his spare time. :rolleyes:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] tekhedd:
Note: I am using the LOS 15.1 v1 universal bootstack&modem/dotos-unofficial-2.5-20181014/Magisk v17.1/no gapps (Deja-Vu location provider) with no problems. Rom has been smooth and crash free.

I had similar battery issues: ~4 hour battery life with screen off and "sleeping". However, I tried LOS 15.1 official and got exactly the same results, so it looks like this is not a DOT issue. Under LOS, I was able to restore my near-infinite standby time by running SleepyWifi (from F-Droid) to disable wifi on standby. So, it is pretty clear that I and maybe you are running into the WiFi-doesn't-sleep issue.

As I write this, I am attempting to reproduce the results under DOTOS, running SleepyWifi. Clearly this is something that should really be fixed at the "wifi beacon management" kernel/driver wifi level, something I am not currently qualified to do (heck I don't even know where the wifi support is, maybe compiled into the kernel?)

I also want to experiment with different kernels, but from talk in the official LOS thread it looks like the latest schwifty (v4) does not work with the latest LOS build? I guess I'll find out experimentally. :) Will post results if there's anything interesting to report.

Oreo (?) wifi (?) battery issues aside, it's a very nice ROM.

Note that zte sold this phone hence they must provide the user with support... xda developers try to help the community without being paid
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] anon1135:
I have none of the problems u listed and living without Dolby for now but would still be nice if it did work. Viper is ok once u get used to it. Rom is great thx for your work dev

I don't think ZTE rom is suppose to be buggy because this is their phone. Xda devs are different and we are lucky to have them. When people say something is better it is usually up to the user because everyone uses their phone differently. Nfound was alright I don't have a problem with him because the more devs for this community the better. I know other people do though
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] tekhedd:
Just a quick followup report:

Further experimentation (note: with this DOT built, not LOS) confirms that SleepyWifi (disabling wifi during sleep) does extend standby time to multiple days, as with a vanilla LOS config. SOT with this configuration and no other tweaks looks to be the expected ~4 hours, which is not exactly to-die-for but workable, and also consistent with other ROMs / stock kernel.

Was unable to get other kernels to work, as expected.

Hope this is helpful to someone. Overall the experience is quite good and I'm going to stick with it for a while.

New update coming this weekend, stay tuned. There is a recent one from a few days ago in my telegram chat if you want to use that.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Predatorhaze:
Sounds good.I'm on dotos now with latest beta kernel and helix engine,works great here.Battery problems are solved for me(the complain in tg).

Only thing is that sometimes(rarely),sim is not detected on boot,reboot or wipe cache solves this(I also flashed G modem from orden,instead of the modded from raysteff).

Dolby atmos also works,but its a ported mod from January. I think the latest (from b20) will sound better.

Can I ask,are you thinking of implementing shwifty kernel as default in dotos?

Thanks!!

Again a edit to this post,

I remember when on boot the sim is not detected,a ui restart also solve the problem,and I can unlock the sim.maybe something related to substratum theme
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ramnkc:
Can your share orden G modem?

Is anyone able to change smartbar button icons with a selection from an icon pack? Settings crashes for me whenever I try to do so.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Predatorhaze:
G modem is in los15 forum.

But DotOS can act very weird,sometimes it does not boot,or nav buttons dont work(they do work after 1 minute on booting),i need to turn off/on screen in order to unlock simcard.

Also sometimes it doesnt boot and it sayd my battery is empty,then i try to boot in recovery and that works.In twrp it shows my battery is 0% and it stay on 0 for like half a hour,i rebooted my phone in to system and it show it got 2% battery.This is weird,i did calibrations and stuff.

But then i read from Tim in TG that the splash screen fix can interfeir with encryption...well i flashed that splash screen fix before the battery problems my phone is facing.

Also i got dolby atmos working along with latest sauron beta,

Does my battery problem sounds familiair to someone else?I do not know if my battery got problems,i probably think not.I still reach 3-4 hours sot like always.When its less than 30% it acts weird.Can drain from 27 to 22 in 1 minute,but then it stays at 22 for like 10 minutes

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] byjoaxel:
After installing it, it took like 3 or 4 attempts to boot into DotOs, the other attempts I got a warning advice and then a penguin logo, and it rebooted to it again. Right now it booted, but what whit the penguin. I have the last universal bootstack
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Read the first few posts of the LOS 15.1 thread regarding the bootstack.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] byjoaxel:
I still getting the penguin logo and the boot warning after trying the dm-verity command via adb and via twrp. I dont know what to do. Also with magisk I dont pass safetynet and cant install netflix via google play, what can I do? Thanks
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
To pass safety net on Magisk;

- Hop into Magisk App

- Download and install Magisk Hide Props

- Reboot

- Download a terminal app from the playstore

- Open it and type 'su' , grant the permissions.

- Then type 'props' and follow the on-screen instructions to change your device's fingerprint.

- From the menu of certified fingerprints, select ZTE and then Axon 7 (8.0.0)

- After selecting it, hit yes to confirm and then reboot.

- Your Magisk will now pass safety net. Use the Magisk Hide options in the Magisk app to hide root from Netflix, and other apps you cannot access because of root.

edit: Wipe data and cache from Google Playstore and reboot to get Google Playstore verified.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Predatorhaze:
wipe data and cache from playstore also required for play store certification.reboot needed

I'm on wifi :)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
This is why you have the system problem. You need to be on a bootstack that supports it. Plus, this kernel is LOS based. So you should probably use DrakenFX Universal v2 for LOS 15.1 found in the LOS 15.1 op. As well as flash the appropriate modem for you variant, found at the same link. You'll also need to read the first few posts in that thread to resolve an issue with Tux appearing on every boot.

charging issue

Dear friends, I am facing an issue that my phone is charging very slowly it usually displays on the lock screen "charging slowly" although I see sometimes charging rapidly. I use original cable and charger, l have in my car a Qualcomm 3.0 charger. With both devices, the problem persists. Are you guys having such a problem? What are your comments on this? Thank you.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] lance9547:
Its most likely the phone overheating or gets to hot, check the temperature if up, as it goes up it charges slower to prevent overheating.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dekksss:
No, it is not actually overheating. It says 28C in the Amphere app and still charges slowly. l don't know what could be the issue. it may be the charging port. Charging current is extremely low. Between 150mA to 500mA sometimes goes up to 1000mA but rarely.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kitcostantino:

Got a problem with the latest update (13/11). Half of my screen turns into rainbow sprinkled pixles. Restarting my phone seems to fix it so it's probably a software glitch and not a hardware one.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Guido83:
that's when the display connector become loose. If you wanna avoid opening the phone, just try to push with your thumbs in the upper right corner of your screen gently. This should easily fix the issue
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Mr.Sack:
I haven't opened the phone at all? Ist it just regular wear then? In some apps the half of the screen that goes blank also seems to render slower sometimes so I don't think it's the cable.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Guido83:
If it's like this picture, it IS the connector issue. even though you didn't open the phone at all.
