FAQ

Why GSI not a normal ROM ?

- The sources are still not available/stable so the only way to get new Pie ROMs for our device is by using GSI.

TWRP says no OS after flashing system.img ?

-Thats normal , just reboot and it should boot

Phone shows the following message after every reboot "Internal problem detected..."

-That's a vendor issue, it does not do anything just press OK.

Screen freeze or unresponsive ?

-Flash the NFC/Hotspot fix.

Which vendor is recommended ?

- NFound v1.1 has less amount of issues.

Some customization options does not work ?

-Restart system UI and/or Reboot system.

Themes are broken (Dark/Black) ?

- wipe clean everything (including vendor) and use NFound vendor , follow the instructions.

Substratum does not work ?

- use this apk key and install it as normal apk

Option XYZ does not work ?

- Post your setup with detailed description and of course a LOG.

I want XYZ feature ?

- I'm only a builder not a dev, so no promises.

How stable is this ROM ?

- the ROM is very stable and can be used as daily driver.

Very interested in this ROM, will try it out :)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] samichiban:
Thanks for your great efforts, buddy.

I am going to try it out.

Which universial bootstack do you recommend?

Can you kindly make a link to it?

Thanks in advance.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] king1990:
use this one here https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410932744536985259

anyway if you are in official LOS15.1and its working fine you don't need to flash bootstack/modem , just follow the instructions and it should boot fine

NOTE : WIPE THE VENDOR & FLASH ANOTHER ONE OTHER WISE IT WONT BOOT.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] yshalsager:
Nice!

Glad that my guide helped :)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] samichiban:
Thanks for quick reply, king1990. Much appreciated.

My mobile is Axon7G model, and ATM Nfound's AospExtended ROM v5.8 (Rom 8.1) running.

Your ROM zip title indicates A-only but will it work fine with my Axon7G?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] king1990:
Your guide was huge help , without it this ROM would never happen

Flash LOS15.1 and it should create vendor partition to allow you to install this ROM

it will work in both G & U models
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Predatorhaze:
You post a GSI in axon 7 forums,why if i may ask? This is a GSI for treble A phones,i think this should be in the treble forums only?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Those of us who initially tested this GSI did not think it was ready for other devices outside of the Axon 7 community, as it will not boot on LOS based vendors. [MENTION=4896610]king1990[/MENTION] built this for our community, and it was just way too good of a ROM to keep from sharing on XDA.

Once again, thanks for your opinion. /S
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Predatorhaze:
My opinion is that this is a GSI for a treble devices,so thats why i thought this should be in the treble forum.

And yes im avoiding treble system for my axon 7 because its a mess.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
My opinion is this ROM is hands down, THE best GSI I've used in all of my testing, and by a long shot. Seeing as how this is only the first build, I'm excited to see how future builds will improve.

The difference between using this ROM with it's suggested installation, and other ROMs of the past is like night and day, including pre-treble ROMs. This is definitely the whole package when it comes to custom ROMs. Full of options, that work, and a UI that flies with no lag, without compromising battery life.

See screenshots of estimated 6 hours SOT, almost 2 hours of which I was on a Viber phone call through Bluetooth headphones while at the same time using my phone to message on Telegram.

Where others came up short, Liquid Remix just works. I'm sure there will be many other posts like mine, giving praises to this ROM. [MENTION=4896610]king1990[/MENTION] Thank you again, so much for building this for us. It was a much needed relief from many headaches of searching and testing and fixes and testing... Lol
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
XDA only rendering 1 of 2 screenshots. Here is the second one.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ccfly888:
Followed the installation guide:

Clean flash is recommended:

Unlock the Bootloader first , and flash universial bootstack and modem before anything

1. Go to TWRP

2. Wipe System, Vendor, Data, Cache, and Dalvik Cache. Internal Storage wipe is not needed

3. Flash Kranoner's vendor (Recommended vendor) or Nfound vendor or flash another vendor of your choice. LineageOS vendor and anything based on LineageOS, like DotOS vendor will not work.

4. Extract the ROM .zip file to get system.img , flash it in system partition. , Boot and check the ROM

5. Reboot to recovery after flashing ROM and then Factory reset then flash Opengapps. Nano or below is recommended

6. Reboot to system

7. After first boot, you will need to flash NFC/Hotspot fix by [MENTION=5334294]raystef66[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3756725]kountry83[/MENTION] .

8. Install Magisk 18.0

However, every time boots into system, it shows error:

Android System

There's internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details.

Does it mean Vendor Partition is not right?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
This is a false error, and is very common when using a GSI. There is nothing wrong and it affects nothing. It is a minor annoyance to click OK, only on boot.

Sometimes this will go away depending on what vendor or kernel you are using. Hopefully it may go away in the future with a better vendor or if a future Liquid build works with other vendors.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] machetie:
Ignore it! It's nothing serious. And yes it's the vendors fault. Our vendor is a mess!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ccfly888:
Thanks for the quick reply.

Indeed, I clicked OK and it just moves on. But it shows up on every reboot. Kind of annoying. :rolleyes:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Sorry, bad wording, i should have said "on boot", not "on first boot". You get used to it.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ccfly888:
It is minor issue. I certainly can live with that. :o
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Zobat:
so far its running great.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] troy5890:
Then I'll give it a try once more and let you guys know if I run into any new issues
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ygb7:
I am unable to USB connect my Axon 7 (A2017U) to LiquidRemix. I tried USB 2.0 & USB 3.0 ports on multiple computers.

The phone gives the sound like like it connected successfully when plugged into the USB cable. However, no notification on phone that USB is connected or on PC that USB is connected.

I installed LiquidRemix-GSI-pie-20190111-ARM64-A-Only.rar
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ibphantom:
Substratum not working. Requests and grants root but when I click the theme I want, the screen goes grey until I tap away.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] BaamAlex:
Is it possible to add the "auto brightness" option?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Pie uses adaptive brightness. It can be turned on or off.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] king1990:
check the FAQ , there is a fix for substratum

The ROM support "auto brightness" and its called "adaptive brightness" if the option is not available that means you have outdated vendor

use the vendors mentioned in the OP
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] RedHaired:
Hi, I'm thinking about moving to your ROM, but have some questions, can you please help me with them?

Does the ROM have only mono sound (like when you turn Dolby on the stock rom off) while using speakers or it's good?

Does it have multitasking?

Thank you.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] KevinX8:
Um you don't need dolby atmos for stereo, every rom has stereo audio that I tried.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] RedHaired:
Well, yes, but for example in aosp 5.8, it's a ****ty stereo where one speaker is louder than another LIKE in stock rom with dolby turned off. That is what I'm talking about
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Zobat:
you won't have such a problem with this ROM
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] RedHaired:
Alright, then I will try it today)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] HeikoNote3:
Is there a way to get the original ZTE Stock Camera to run on this Rom? I'm still a big Fan of the original cam from the B03 Update, but i like this Rom too... So, what to do?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
You'll have to choose. Stock camera isn't ported for any custom roms as far as i know.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] HeikoNote3:
Oh Man, this is sad... Was'nt there a flashable Zip of the Stock Cam for Android 8? Can't even get this to work on an Android 8 Custom Rom...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Best you can get with GSI right now is to use MiA1 port module or OpenCam for flash shots, and GCam for all other shots.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] HeikoNote3:
Yeah thanks, i've tried them all. But for me, that's too much cameras needed for different mods. Just like the long exposure, working slomo and nightshot of the stock . The others all not really working for me. With gcam the front pics where set with too much green, the night sight didn't save the taken pics, on MiA1 Port I get no good pictures too. I see, I will have no choice, stay at stock or renounce of mods with a custom rom. Thanks anyway.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] RedHaired:
Has anyone encountered SafetyNet - ctsProfile:false problem with magiks on this rom? The clean rom by itseflf didnt let me to use google pay due to root, and even after installing magiks I didnt find any way to fix safetynet issue.

Nevermind, found an answer on page 4)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kodrnusa:
How do I update the rom? Do I need to reflash something or just dirty flash and use it normaly?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Zobat:
i just dirty flashed and reinstalled gapps.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] BaamAlex:
Can i use custom kernel with this gsi? If yes, which should work?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
It will depend on the vendor you choose.

If using NFound or Kran vendor:

We've found that EAS kernels work best with this. So try Crimson for pure performance at the cost of some battery, or the first Hellsgate EAS beta, as attempts for improvement after that one caused some issues.

You'll still have to manually block some wakelocks vs using Schwifty, as Schwifty has many blocks built in, giving it that nice standby flatline.

So, idle drain won't be ideal right out of the gate, you'll have to work on it, but EAS is the way to go.

Just make sure to set your TopApp boost to 15 or more depending on your experience.

If using Mokee, DotOS or LOS vendor:

I still recommend an EAS kernel. But, Schwifty will work pretty good with these vendors. You'll get that standby flatline, but will have to tune it towards your performance needs.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] HunterBlade:
Umm..is this security patch a typo?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] king1990:
if you are using magisk hide prop then yes its normal
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] RedHaired:
Writing again about setting up google pay with error "your device cannot be trusted...", boy, it was a hell of a ride) First I googled a solution for this, tried a lot of things, spent 3 hours, but nothing, the ctsProfile:false thing preserved, then, after losing any hope I looked through this entire thread and found the solution by amphi66 (thanks man!), installed everything and miracle, it worked, the error disappeared, I set up my card and lived long and happy........no (lol)...... I had no sound during phone calls and no one could hear me whereas my speakers were working (don't even think about commenting on turned off sound and mic=)). The only way I was able to fix this was by uninstalling magisk with modules) Good thing that google pay kept working after this) Thus, if you know any other way to fix this, please tell me)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Start fresh on Magisk 18. Which it sounds like you already have, removing all modules. Then use [MENTION=5334294]raystef66[/MENTION] Combifix v3.1 to get Magisk to pass SafetyNet. This is a great tool to have to apply all needed fixes when flashing GSI on our device, you can also choose your button order in the beginning. Just make sure to always boot into system one good time before flashing GSI before using it.

I had some in call issues like you, but I'm using this fix now instead of the ones found through Magisk, and i don't have any problems.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] HunterBlade:
Ahh, alright. However, ever since I've updated to your latest build last night, I've noticed a strange bug. If I press the reboot button in the power menu, there's a 50/50 chance that my Magisk modules will be removed after the reboot (even though they all still show as installed and active in Magisk Manager). I'm not sure if this is a bug with Magisk (even though I never encountered it on the 12/22 build and this was all after a clean flash to the 1/11 build), or if this is due to the new build itself. I have the logcat as well, but XDA won't let me post them cause the file is "too big", so let me know if you need them and I'll find a way to share it. Thanks!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] RedHaired:
Thanks for tips on magisk but as I said I now have troubles with missing sound from speakers in calls sometimes. The sound disappears when I play music or watch youtube and I have to turn my screen on and off several times, after which it returns. Do you have any thoughts on that or I just need to try and flash everything starting from the vendor again and pray for no troubles?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Oh, you are having other sound issues? I thought it was just in call. What Magisk modules are you using? Unless one of those are the cause, you might need to clean flash. Also what vendor are you using?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] RedHaired:
Yep, when I had Magisk with MagiskHide Props Config and BusyBox modules installed I had no in-call sound but music worked. After deleting Magisk and both modules this problem became not permanent and sound started to disappear completely from time to time, which can be fixed by either rebooting, or turning screen on and off. Im using Nfound vendor. I think I should try a clean flash with the installation of magisk and modules prior first boot. Also, do I need to reinstall TWRP or there is no point in it? Thanks
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
No need to flash TWRP, bootstack or modem.

Just wipe everything except internal, USB and SD.

Flash vendor (make sure vendor and system are mounted prior) and GSI system image.

Boot into system once.

Flash Gapps, boot system, finish setup wizard.

If restoring backup from Google, deselect option to restore settings.

Flash the Combifix 3.1 zip by [MENTION=5334294]raystef66[/MENTION] (again make sure vendor and system are mounted prior)

Choose your button order

Then choose all boxes except last one.

Boot system. Might need to install Magisk Manager apk, then install modules one at a time, checking for sound issues as you go.

Hope starting clean will resolve your issue. Good luck.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] RedHaired:
First of all, thank you for a detailed answer)

Second, I followed your steps with the addition of (cuz magisk failed the safenet check even at fresh install):

And so far so good, the sound is good, the root is on, so I hope everything will be fine now)

Has anyone faced some strange stuttering with latest build? Yesterday i did clean install and after booting in system, GUI becomes unresponsive after few minutes.

I tried with NFound vendor.

After reboot it all goes normal again.

I reverted back to LOS 15

Device is Axon 7 G
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] RedHaired:
Did you install NFC fix?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Tom-Tom07:
Yes, I used [MENTION=5334294]raystef66[/MENTION] Aroma Combo Fix zip.

I tried one more GSI, but I had similar experience :rolleyes:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
Did you make sure to mount Vendor and System in TWRP before flashing Combifix and/or NFC Fix?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Tom-Tom07:
Yep, both were mounted.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
That's strange, could have been a bad download perhaps. The next time you have some free time, try redownloading the latest version of Liquid and use Kranoner's vendor, and flash it. Flash the NFC fix after first boot, making sure to mount.

Nice ROM, but I cant download Netflix from PlayStore for some reason.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
This is most likely due to uncertified Playstore because Safety net doesn't pass. This can be fixed by using Magisk Hide Props module from Magisk and setting the fingerprint to Axon or more simply if you only want Netflix, Just download an apk online, it'll work fine.

[MENTION=4896610]king1990[/MENTION] and anyone who can help me -

I apologize for my very noob question. It's my first time flashing a GSI ROM. I followed the instructions below. After Step 3, and flashing NFound's Vendor, I went to Step 4. When in Step 4, I selected the System.img file to flash to System. While in this screen, I do not see "Vendor" as an option. Does this mean no vendor partition was created when flashed NFound's vendor file? Did something go wrong? I proceeded to flash to System. Then rebooted to Recovery when done and followed to Step 5, 6. When I rebooted the phone to System in Step 6, it returned me back to Fastboot. The ROM wouldn't boot up. Can you tell me what I've done that went awry? My phone is now stuck on Fastboot, and from there, I can go to Recovery but not a boot into the ROM.

Thank you for your help!!!

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] JohnyPea:
I have checked and I don't see Vendor partition as an option when directly flashing image. I can see it in "Mount" menu, also I think flashing nfounds would fail if Vendor partition wasn't created. I would suspect you don't have problem with that, but with bootstack which was mentioned should be used from lineage 15.1 (step 1: Install the Universal O bootloader and your model specific modem). I used universal bootstack v2 and later flashed Schwifty kernel v5, both worked.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Chris2810:
Thank you, that worked!

When in battery saving mode, the "Battery Saver Dark Mode" seems always enabled(even if unchecked) and it causes my already AMOLED black theme to default to the Android light grey dark mode on my keyboard instead of using the more efficient AMOLED black for power saving.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Theming issues are the number one nuisance of this GSI. The only thing you can try, is to try out different vendors.

NFound, Kranoner, Mokee or an October build of either LOS 15.1 or DotOS. These vendors have been confirmed working. There is also a new mashup vendor someone has created, still in testing, but they have claimed no common theme issues. So that may help with your bug, who knows until it's tested.
