[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] amphi66:
Thanks, I may not have been clear: when connecting the A7U with LR to the PC it gets a 'device not recognized' error by USB. Thus my question: does the PIE ROM change the phone fingerprint (or something) requiring a different PC driver? The other (stock) A7U connects just fine.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] king1990:
No special drivers required , it should work fine , try it with other PC to be sure
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Link500X:
I'm still having problems with it... I also tried debugging mode, and one of the other USB ports on my PC case. If nobody else is experiencing the problem, then it might just be something wrong with my phone specifically. Thank you for trying to help though.

A great thing to note is that this ROM works with USB 3.0. I usually just use one of the USB 2 ports on my case because other ROMs won't work with USB 3.0 (they require 3.1).

It's running very well so far. I installed the 12.12.18 build today (clean install) . Haven't tested half the features yet but I'm really pleased with the stability and fluid experience. The Axon 7 just got a new life :cool:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] king1990:
as far as I know our device had always problem with SD cards, I don't know if it this specific problem or not but I will keep it in mind.

Another happy axon7 user means a lot to me :laugh:. So enjoy the ROM and the future builds.

The ROM is extremely stable, in my case I did not had a single reboot/FC since two weeks. Hopefully we can solve the brightness issue in the next build
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Sorry for not reporting this earlier, was having GPS sensor issues. Unfortunately it's a hardware issue for me.

Anyways, the 20181222 build is running great, with some very mentionable improvements.

If using the NFound vendor, the theme engine no longer breaks. I was able to make TWRP backups and restore them with no issues. So that is all back to normal now, allowing us to easily test other ROMs out and come back to Liquid without losing functionality.

VOLTE is back. One user reported this in the TG Group, I did not have it at the time though. But then after flashing around because of my GPS issues, when I did a fresh install of Liquid, now I have it. So I can confirm it is possible to get it to work, just not sure why I didn't have it the first time I tried the new build.

So, currently I am coming from the official Oreo update, flashed from SD card. Then I EDL Okis LOS package, then flash Verequies Splash bootstack (did not flash modem since I'm on A2017U). Then just flashed everything as instructed in OP, using NFound vendor since it was confirmed Krans vendor breaks a few Liquid features.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] BaamAlex:
Btw lineage os based vendors works fine with this rom. I skipped step 3 from the installation guide and the rom works.

Woah now it does?! Thank you for taking the dive and giving it a try. I'll give this a go then
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] king1990:
Did you use custom kernel ?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Steps please. It's not working for me. At least with the available flashables and vendor.img files. All I get is a red dot instead of the Liquid boot screen.

Perhaps you're just flashing the GSI over the ROM, or using a different kernel than the LOS kernel?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] amphi66:
Is WIFI calling active? Works fine on B35, but although it switches on in settings there is no staus indicator and calls attempted in Airplane Mode w/ wifi on will not function.

Other than that all of the Blutetooth connections and everything else I have tried is 100% functional. Stellar ROM!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] BaamAlex:
Are there so much differences between the vendor partitions? I flashed it like other gsis

---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------

Nope. Stock
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] troy5890:
I forgot mostly in detail, but some vendor partitions like LOS isn't too compatible probably due to the sources it uses. Maybe....
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] BaamAlex:
1. Boot in twrp

2. Wipe all. But not vendor partition

3. Reboot in Twrp and flash gapps and magisk

4. Reboot to system

5. Profit

I dont know. This gsi here works for me.

Can you post a screenshot for SElinux status in the about menu ?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] troy5890:

Note: Had to use Nfounds Vendor, the LOS vendor didn't work for me.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Sounds like he is not using a vendor flashable or vendor.img. It sounds like he is installing entire LOS ROM, then going into TWRP and wiping everything but vendor, then flashing GSI, etc.

I will give this a try when I get another chance.

Sorry to be persistant, but I even got Substratum Dark to theme the system pages and am ready to make the move from my test platform to the DD phone, but as there is no cell coverage at my kid's house in the woods, this lack of wifi calling issue becomes a big deal. If not a setting I am missing do you know of a patch? Thx
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
I never had much luck with WiFi calling, even on stock, so I don't use it. Probably an issue with my home network, which I have set and don't want to mess with.

If you join Raystef66 TG, we can try to work it out there without bouncing back and forth in this thread.

With a file explorer app with root. Replace file that has same name, found in Vendor/Overlay. Might want to rename the old file, so if it doesn't work, you can rename it back through TWRP.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
This is one of the things that Krans vendor breaks. If you use NFound vendor it will work properly.

Just wipe vendor, flash NFound vendor, and flash custom kernel and Magisk again if you already had one or the other.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Yeah, i really don't know how some of you are getting the DotOS or LOS vendors to work with Liquid. Every time I try, it will not boot.

Anyways, yes DotOS and LOS vendors work great with almost all other GSI. But, as stated in the OP, NFound or Kran vendor are recommended for this one. I recommend NFound with the new build, because as I said, some features are not working with Kran vendor.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] yarecco:
When I try the new ROM i never delete Vendor nor boot unless it causes troubles

That's why I got that vendor to work... maybe when reinstalling it could be a problem to boot.

It's a big mystery that device....
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] king1990:
The ROM wont boot in enforcing mode only in permissive mode , check the SElinux status and it should show the current status.

for a better experience I suggest using nfound vendor.

Hi

Just flashed it, a wondereful rom so far. I have one big issue, and because im light-sensitive its almost a deal breaker, that is the brightness. Its not just the curve as mentioned before, the minimum brightness is way too bright. This issue may go back a long way, it started with 8.0 that all roms I tested out were not able to go to the real minimum brightness. EXCEPT when enabling adaptive brightness. It could go darker, I just hated to enable it because I tend to hold my phone exactly over the light sensor.

But now its not even possible with adaptive brightness. I hope there is a chance that this gets fixed. If anyone knows a workaround I'm very happy to hear it.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] king1990:
In android pie the adaptive brightness is now tied with the manual slider, to fix the minimum brightness and make phone respond accurately to light sources

Flash this file in twrp

Works well with either Kranoner or NFound vendor. File goes in /system/vendor/overlay. I also changed permissions to rw-r--r-- (0644).

Originally I changed the name of the original file to keep it, added the new one and then had the no-boot issue. When I simply replaced the file (moved the original to the sdCard as backup) all booted fine.

Good luck & Happy New Year.

This shouldn't be an issue, but who knows. Try reflashing your device's modem in twrp to see if it fixes the problem.

Flash the U one if you have the A2017U , the G one if you have the A2017G or the Chinese one if you own the Chinese variant.

I plugged the phone in to my PC and did a "ADB Devices" and got:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>adb devices

List of devices attached

172.17.177.224:5555 device

The phone looks like it's in "ADB over network" mode. So I went into Developer settings and it was turned off. I turned it on and then got the status bar notification that it was on.

Did adb devices again:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>adb devices

List of devices attached

172.17.177.224:5555 device

Turned the setting off, the status bar notification goes away but still get:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>adb devices

List of devices attached

172.17.177.224:5555 device

It looks like "ADB over network" is always turned on. :eek:

Am I missing something or does this ROM not support standby charging? Every time I try to turn off the phone while it's plugged in, it just restarts and ends up back at the lock screen. Is there a way to enable standby charging with only the battery icon (so the phone doesn't power back on completely).
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] amphi66:
Not the ROM, but depends which BootStack you installed. That is a feature of the "Splash" version (Thanks [MENTION=8456254]EBeatFLA[/MENTION])

Splash

Ability to have Read/Write access in system.

Nice three logo splash screen, replacing bootloader warning screen.

No bootloader warning screen means not able hit volume button during boot to get menu for Recovery, Fastboot, etc.

Which also means you will have to use power button + volume up combo to enter Recovery, or reboot to recovery from the ROM.

No EDL three button combo.

Can't charge without booting system or TWRP.

NoSplash

Read Only access in system. (Which will break Magisk)

Ugly bootloader warning screen.

Able hit volume button during boot to get menu for Recovery, Fastboot, etc.

Able to use EDL three button combo.

Allows offline charging without booting into system.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Yeah it's the bootstack. Axon 7 has many to choose from. None of them have everything working. You'll have to pick your poison.

Which bootstack and modem?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] bd177:
Did this work differently for you on any other GSIs?

The only other GSI I had was LOS by Orden K. and it wasn't stuck in 'adb over network' mode.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
There aren't any LOS GSI by Orden. I think maybe you were on LOS16 and because it's Pie you think it was a GSI.

I think it might just be a custom ROM thing honestly. Try LOS15.1 or DotOS. But I'm guessing that only stock has it off by default.

Try just flashing these first. But if you still have problems, make sure you are clean flashing everything. Something you said sounds like you're not clean flashing.

For camera you should use GCam, OpenCamera and/or the MiA1 port module.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kodrnusa:
Can I dirty flash first, or I need to clean flash everything again?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Try the bootstack and modem first, as I said. There is nothing to wipe for these, just flash them.

If they don't work, then please try reflashing everything with a clean flash.

Which version of gcam works best with this rom? Maybe magisk modul?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] HunterBlade:
Wait, so I'm a bit confused now. You said that the offline charging was a feature of the "Splash version", but in that pros/cons list you provided, it says that the splash version isn't able to charge without booting up. Also, I'm currently using Draken's LOS v2 Bootstack but it doesn't fit in either of these categories. Magisk works fine on it, but it still has the warning screen and isn't able to charge without booting into system.

Is there any that you recommend over Draken's Bootstack? Trying to get offline charging to work without breaking Magisk if possible.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] amphi66:
That was your complaint: phone boots when charging. 'Splash' does that. Try another for different behavior. Good luck.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] HunterBlade:
Ohh...okay, I think I just misread your initial post then. Does that also mean that Draken's Bootstack is actually a splash one just it kept the warning message? Also, this would mean I have to choose between Magisk working or offline charging?

Edit: Nvm about those questions, [MENTION=8456254]EBeatFLA[/MENTION] 's post below pretty much answered them.
