hey!

I've ever really been into playing games on my smartphone, but as I recently started to go to work by bus I have quite some time each day I could spend playing.

I'm wondering if there are any games similar to rocket league for android smartphone? or something just maybe with a similar idea, i dont know. What i know is developers for smartphones often make unreasonably needed things like items and crates in rocket league to buy to have any fun in game and often to even play the game at all, because there are some restrictions as to how many times you can do certain things. I need game that I don't need to spend any money on (maybe beside the game's price) or just a couple of bucks but nothing more...

I don't know how it will be like. We didn't get the chance to test a final build before release and there was a few battery issues with it. But with those who were waiting for it its finally here!! Backup your stuff and go update!

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Teet1:
That is incredibly stupid. It's like they didn't bother fixing the bigger more complex issues possibly that they're not competent enough to do so. Those issues being an encryption problem that occurred during beta testing where some beta testers that updated over OTA from nougat to Oreo were stuck at an "to start android, enter password (or pin)" and the only way out was to factory reset. If they didn't fix that, then they didn't fix the overheating and battery drain issues. Disappointed.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rzarectha:
nice one, that's for USA. Any news on the 2017G?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] EBeatFLA:
Agreed, releasing an update that removes features. If we wanted a ROM that didn't function 100%, then we might as well stay on custom ROMs. Better off doing so in some cases.

Seems this is only for those who don't know how or don't want to learn how to install custom ROMs on their phone.

I know that's pretty obvious, it's just a shame.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] anon1135:
Removal of daydream would be a good trade if it did something like help improve battery life and performance. Both of these were already good enough on stock nougat though. Battery was terrible in the oreo beta from what everyone reported

I installed it from SD. Had to go buy one though because I never used one :rolleyes:...anyway...tried installing using ADB and that will NOT work. Installed just fine from SD. This is only my backup phone so I did not set it up completely to mirror my daily driver, but it looks good. The default launcher is OK. I regularly use Nova Prime. Everything I tried worked great. I do not use Daydream or anything like that so no loss for me.

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] brian117:
Welp. Glad I waited for nothing...I've been running the B12 beta looking forward to the official release, but it sounds like nothing has even changed except the official status. The fact they removed some features as well? Yeah no thanks. This is obviously their last major update for this phone so they probably could care less about it. I am eternally grateful they have supported this phone as much as they did, nonetheless. But as a final update, and seeing as how long the beta ran for, they could've done a little better.

I know many of you are saying just update to Lineage or the Android P builds then, but I'm one of the select few that prefer to have the WiFi Calling feature just in case I'll ever need it. If Lineage or the Android P builds had it functional I would've been on them a long time ago.

Guess I'll eventually update to the latest build and continue using the Axon 7 until another similar phone is released in the future.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] anon1135:
I forgot to mention that too
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] robertaramar:
I was in the beta program for Nougat. It was the first time, I cancelled out of a beta program because it was a) pourly managed and b) the regression bugs were in so high quantity that I asked myself why the beta testers did all the testing when those bugs were either not fixed or re-introduced at a later build.

ZTE may have crafted a fine piece of hardware but the users would have been much better off if ZTE would have left the software development to the community.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaseman:
I can appreciate the disappointment many are feeling about this update. However, we need to remember that this phone is over 2 years old from a Chinese company that nearly died..completely..due to sanctions etc., etc. So, for me it is OK as a backup phone.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] AcmeWidgets:
I disagree with your sentiment. We have many who make custom ROMs and don't get paid. Some are even teenagers and do a better job. If ZTE wants to stay in business.....well......it's not that hard to update your product. I have higher standards in accountability concerning who I do business with. I don't see how the sanctions prevented them from putting a download update on their website. I Love the phone, but this is a deal breaker for me when it come to future purchases. Especially since the latest Android version is 9.0 (Pie) and this version is 8.0 not even 8.1. If ZTE doesn't support their product....why should I?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] gpz1100:
Does this version support magisk and xposed? Does it survive reboots?

Motorola? So you have 0 updates ?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SkaboXD:
For me MiFavor 5.2 with 8.0 aka RDX rom which i downloaded from 4pda looks much better then stock 8.0, I'm currently using it and it's awesome, better then Nougat. Only downside is that you can't r/w system even with disemmwc and apps can't set download location to sd card. Animations are better, more fancier and faster, sound quality is around the same, battery life is good, all in all, i recommend this ROM.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChiDi9901:
I remember that something similar happened with the Asus Zenfone 2's update situation. For a long time that phone stayed on Android 5 and the developers took ages to update this thing, also security updates were average. Their last update to the phone was Android 6.0.1 with all the fancy stuff (skin, bloat) removed and made everything very lite (which I actually liked, nothing to complain here). It was also an update via SD card instead of OTA. I mean, that must be bad luck and coincidence on my end, both Chinese companies having this weird update policy, and below average software support.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] yarecco:
Chinese producers give us at the end of the 2018 year update to 8.0 ( not even 8,1) when everyone is looking forward to Android 9.0 and watch us jumping of joy.

Really (not) funny

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] anon1135:
What is rdx rom? That looks like the B16 China rom I've been using that can't be rooted. If it's better than that I should try it. I like it mostly for the looks, performance and animations. Battery drains a bit quicker than nougat but it's still usable. Also sorry for OT we should probably pm
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] amd7674:
google camera?

no major issues, other than pita of reinstalling everything. Everything seems to be working just fine. Had some trouble getting my android watch working with it, but I figure it out it (I had to factory reset the watch).

The only thing I'm a little disappointed is lack of support for google camera ... Does anyone know if it is possible to install it on this 8.0? I believe it is better (or should be better) than stock ZTE camera app.... :crying:

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question... :confused:
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] MethodMan:
Really? You'd figure ZTE would have put that in and let Google handle all the security updates. It makes sense since ZTE isn't going to provide any more software support for this device.

I do see a 3rd party Oreo ROM that supports Treble. Now I have to decide whether to keep my Android Pay access with stock rom or lose it and get the latest security patches with 3rd party ROM.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Teet1:
It's not something they can implement easily on our phones. The axon 7 does not have the necessary partition for Project Treble. These third party roms use a script to create this partition, but it resizes either the system or data partition. If done wrong its very dangerous and can result in a brick. That is something ZTE can't risk either by OTA update or SD card update.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jander234:
Hey quick question,

I have an Axon 7 2017U running AEX 5.7, the edl package mentioned a couple pages back (can't post links) will take me right over to B20 in one quick swoop right? I'm coming from Oki's EDL package (Axon7_OREO_B12_TREBLE-Ready_Oki20180728_FULL_EDL.7z

for ZTE Axon 7

) which created a vendor partition. I was pretty sure that EDL flashing the new B20 update (via djkuz's edl) will fix any partitioning issues (an edl is a complete image of the entire phone memory, right?), but wanted to get confirmation before I dove right in with that assumption.

Thanks in advance for any information :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] yarecco:
It's good to mention that this update has only 3 languages ( English Spanish and French (+ 2 Chinese) and it's imposible to root it with magisk plus it causes unlocked bootloader screen at startup

so... tried trash-canned and back to custom oreo stable
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Teet1:
Possible to root it. I rooted it during the beta. If no tutorial is posted soon I'll just make one

rdx is custom stock rom by Ronks based on chinese builds.

RDX 8.0 is based on b11 oreo china but got many bugs,i wont use it.B16 is latest china oreo build

There is also a oreo build called opeo mod on p4da,also based on b11 but less bugs.

China oreo will have mifavor ui.And USA and EURO oreo will have stock ui.

I also find chinese builds much much better
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GodOfPsychos:
What about the read/write issues. I heard despite successful flashing root, that system was read only. Even with the command disemmcwp.

Or is this issue gone?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Predatorhaze:
No,dont just flash trough edl.

Make a backup of all your files(photos and stuff) and then boot in recovery.

Wipe all partitions and delete the vendor partition.

When you did this,boot to recovery and make sure all partitions are on ext4 (if not,advanced wipe,select partition,change partition to ext4)

Reboot recovery again and be sure all partitions are ext4.

Now you power off the phone and flash trough EDL.

These are just steps to make sure you are playing safe

Also when your back on stock rom.Before you put it on a charger,make sure the battery is on 15%..dont put on charger when its higher than 15%
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Teet1:
/system will always be read only and should stay that way. That is only because of Google. Magisk helps around this by using it's modules system. Magisk removes dm-verity but doesn't make /system writable. As we speak I'm writing out a guide to root.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SkaboXD:
tnx for info, i will definitely use China oreo.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GodOfPsychos:
I thought zte made this happen. Didn't knew google made this a must.

But wouldn't that mean we can't edit any files (like tweaking build.prop, wifi configs etc)?

I really enjoyed enabling channel bonding for the 2.4ghz frequency (300 mbit baby :D) for example.

I was planning to make a short guide on how to add it. Usually its only enabled for 5ghz.

And for stuff like that we would need /system being writable or am i misunderstanding something? I mean the whole point of root is to have system modifications.

Btw currently still on nougat as i have the G model. Just curious as how we can continue making modifications like that once the majority of has updated to oreo.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Teet1:
You can do all of that using Magisk modules. It does most of what you want to do to /system (up to a point, not quite sure its limits) without touching /system at all. You can create your own Magisk modules as well. If you want to add any build.prop tweaks you can do that. Just figure out how to make Magisk modules and you're already set.

I can report these another problem with this official Oreo update.

I usually run a SIP client on my phone and noticed that Oreo has a nasty habit of closing the app after some time. Played around with all the power settings to keep the app running but to no avail. Definitely didn't have this issue with Nougat and it looks like some kind of bug with this Oreo implementation.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Teet1:

I have an issue with speakerphone functionality...basically it seems like the mic forgets I'm on speakerphone and then the person on the other end can't hear me until I turn speakerphone off. I'd hoped that Oreo would resolve this but it didn't. I'm also having another issue where my work email widgets that are supposed to show my most recent emails, will occasionally go blank and or not refresh... I didn't have this issue on Nougat. I tried different launchers to see if that was somehow the cause.... to no avail.

Is there a separate thread for bugs and issues that I should look\post in?

I flashed the B20 EDL on top of the B12 Oreo beta, was able to flash Magisk 16.7 (fails safetynet but i don't care for it) and 'A2017G_aroma_navbar_df!nr.zip' that removes the annoying navbar.

Going to test it for the next few days. Had a weird issue with GPS and BT with B12.

Well, the biggest issue I had with being stuck on Nougat was fixed, so I'm happy: Metadata not being displayed on Bluetooth in Ford SYNC. Awesome.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] HallOfPromise:
I also have missing metadata on my Chevy Sonic with Nougat, and I've heard many others having similar problems. Now I am interested in upgrading to Oreo simply to fix this problem, which I have almost gotten used to but honestly still gripe when I look at the car display.

I'm going to wait a little bit longer to see if it's worth it to upgrade. I am simply stock with Magisk, V4A and Xposed currently, so those are my only three requirements for Oreo.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] brian117:
I've been running B20 since this morning and really not much , if anything, is different than B12. At least for my purposes. Magisk 17.x versions do NOT work. Use only Magisk 16.4 or 16.7. One thing I found weird was after a full EDL flash of B20, and installing Magisk 16.7, I was able to pass safetynet (thankfully was able to setup Google Pay too), but then after a reboot safteynet failed every time. But Google Pay still works since I was able to set up my account before safetynet decided to fail. I am not too familiar with as to why Oreo on the A7 does not play nicely with safetynet. But basically B20 is acting just as B12 did for me. Battery life seems okay. So far I have 6+ hours of SOT with 37% remaining. However I did a recent battery replacement so take that into consideration.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bluenote73:
Could you raise an issue with magisk github?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] anon1135:
That battery life seems good whether it's wifi only or mixed 4g. I'm a bit late to testing it because of trying los and other new roms but I will start now
