The best thing you can do, is to flash official los15.1 ROM and booted once , this will create all necessary partitions , after that you can follow the flashing instructions.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Tom-Tom07:
Yesterday I tried again with clean Flash.

I followed [MENTION=8456254]EBeatFLA[/MENTION] guide and used following Setup:

Oki's TWRP 3.2.3.0 Lab's Mod v1.3

B20 Bootstack by DrakenFX Splash

Oreo G Modem

DotOS 2.5 Boot / Vendor

Latest LiquidRemix GSI.

PICO GApps

With other Vendors (Kranoner's vendor or Nfound Vendor) i was unable too boot at all :(

I followed all instructions: Flash Vendor, GSI, reboot, Flash gapps, reboot, Flash NFC Fix and magisk, reboot

Problem was like before:

The device boots to System and after signing in and downloading few apps it starts to overheat, and after a while it freezes and becomes unresponsive.

Only way to use it again is reboot by Pressing power key for a few seconds.

Hello there!

Stupid question despite my aknowledge in rooting etc... I'm on B12 2017G with bootloader unlocket and stock recovery (battery life and network signal was a nightmare on stock oreo)

What should I do to get this rom working?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
A few questions. Did you follow step 1 in the guide to use Okis LOS 15 EDL package, as well as follow all additional steps in his guide?

Did you follow the additional steps in step 1 of my guide to format to f2fs, then format back to ext4?

Did you flash the Havoc build in the guide and see if that works first?

---------- Post added at 04:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 PM ----------

Follow my Path to Havoc Pie guide in the guide section. Then follow the instructions in the OP of this thread.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] amus76:
Just a question before I jump on:

I get 3H of screen time with B12 (with a new battery) and my signal network is so so.

What can I expect there with Schwifty kernel ?

I live in France with an Axon 7 2017G and I supposed to get full 4G+ (LTE Advanced equivalent) that I don't get erverywhere
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
I think Oreo averages around 4.5 hours OT, give or take. Poor signal will definitely eat into that. Did you test your new battery with Accubattery to see it's capacity?

Regardless, Schwifty does help when using a custom LOS based ROM or LOS based vendor. But I've found more success with an EAS kernel, like Crimson EAS or Hellsgate EAS, when it comes to using the GSIs that require Kranoner vendor.

Just a note that using an EAS kernel, will require certain tweaks.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] amus76:
The things is: The signal with other phone is solid, I'm trying another batch with Oreo B3 to see before I jump on GSI
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Tom-Tom07:
Nope, i'm allready on LOS 15, figured I don't need to repeat it again... But I gues I'll try that too.

I also tried new AEX build (6.1) but after a booting in system I noticed that bluetooth doesn't work, so I reverted back to Liquid and then again to LOS 15
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Zobat:

Hello,

I could be wrong but I think DoNotDisturb is even more problematic than I thought.

I use it as a Silence mode since there is no other in the quick bar, but I just had an issue which I think was related.

I called someone and couldn't hear anything, not the ring, not the person.

Same thing for a few calls, same thing when they called me, and still the same after a reboot.

I thought of undoing DND during a call, and finally I could hear the person!

Is there an option I forgot about this? I have set the "Allow calls" option fo "From anyone".

Thank you!

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Grochocinski:
I was having a similar issue earlier today. It seems to be related to Magisk 18.0 and up eating up 100% of the CPU. Try flashing the fix without Magisk and see if that fixes your issue for the time being.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] king1990:
Sorry for late reply , new build under testing and its looking great so far.

use only nfound vendor it is the most stable one with this ROM, follow the installation instructions , and add the overlay fix to enable more options. it should works fine

I never tested DND before but now I'm currently using the test build and its working well.

for direct feedback and problem reporting you can join Axon7 TG

https://t.me/joinchat/HNrIXRJuW6nEIYTaRYLNhA

I'm more active in TG than here and you can try the test build if you want :)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] geearf:
Oh I was told to try another vendor on a different forum, I forgot the exact name but it starts with 'M'. It worked better for me than nfound, but maybe that's why I have an issue in DND?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] king1990:
maybe but it could the ROM problem , join the TG group above if you want to try the test build.

As stated just a couple of posts back.. there is a new test build. I mean I might be wrong, but... I think that means there is a new version coming.

Pretty sure you're thinking of Mokee's vendor.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] geearf:
Yup that's the one!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] king1990:
Ok build is ready

check OP for link

synced with liquid & phh sources.

New feature :

in this build I enabled the hardware button customization , you can customize single , double and long press for all keys with custom action.

Known bugs in this build :

1- Same as in OP

2- When selecting status bar customization for the first time it might hang or restart system UI this will happen ONLY ONCE and everything will work fine after that.

happy flashing
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] TPMJB:
The kanoner vendor in the OP doesn't seem to work. When I boot, the phone beeps like I'm pressing the volume button, but repeatedly. Then finally it says "vendor mismatch" and hangs at a black screen.

Mokee rom I'm stealing the vendor from is this one: https://download.mokeedev.com/?device=axon7

I'll post back and say how it works.

Edit: Mokee just repeatedly beeps and I don't even get a message about vendor mismatch. I guess I'll try NFound vendor?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
Sounds like a bad bootstack, not the vendors' fault.

Redownload and reflash whichever bootstack you're using, I'd recommend B12 from LOS 15 thread or B20 from Verequies.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] TPMJB:
I don't know what I did, but I ended up wiping the internal data by accident (sorry dad) and re-starting from scratch. Used the b20 bootstack and...welp, looks like it's working using Kranoner vendor.

Yeah my dad's gonna be upset he lost all his pictures lol

I think the problem was I had the b20 bootstack by Verequies, but it was a build that was built hours before the current one was uploaded. I must have gotten it for the very short window of time where it was screwed up.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
Well that's good that you got it working.

RIP to your dad's pictures. I'll pray that you make a backup next time :)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] TPMJB:
His fault for not having a microSD in his phone. They cost like 20 bucks. I don't know why everyone doesn't have one. I got tired and frustrated, and in my tiredness I accidentally selected "wipe internal memory"
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
Happened too many times before to me haha. This flashing really takes a toll, especially on a flashaholic like me.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Predatorhaze:
You should made a backup to PC or laptop for your dad,its not his fault but yours
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choose an username...:
don't know if it is too late or not, but a format doesn't mean you deleted jack, if you know what i mean. Download one of the file recovery apps (DiskDigger) and give it a try. You will surely recover some stuff from there.

On P4DA ther are new vendors,some guy speedy v5?

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] TPMJB:
Huh, didn't know I could do that. I've done it to my own device before I got a phone that had an internal SD card.

Only problem I see is both CTS profile and basic integrity are showing up as false in Magisk. This seems to be more than Magisk Hide Props Config fix, I'd assume?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] pickypenelope:
What's the best/easiest way to flash the newer version of Liquid Remix ontop of an older install? So, if I'm running the 12-1-2018 build and want to update to the 14-2-2019, what's the best way to do that? Do I simply wipe everything and flash from the beginning? Or is there a quicker/easier way?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] TPMJB:
Trusting me is his fault ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

---------- Post added at 09:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 AM ----------

If you're updating from two months ago, generally I would do a full wipe. You don't know if there's been substantial changes that will affect the stability dirty flashing.

But YMMV. Just what I would do.

Just don't select "internal storage" when wiping it like I did ;)

Edit: To the guy who suggested DiskDigger - it worked great!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
That's a bootstack issue lol

Hey my status bar hangs quite often. I tried without theming, with and without Schwifty kernel. What's up with that? How can I further report it to find the root cause?

I noticed it while charging, the status bar will freeze, I get a warning about system ui and everything acts all stuttery and slow. It doesn't happen all the time. I flashed that on the initial flash, do I need to flash nfc fix every new release?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] king1990:
Yes flash it again if you encounter lagging problem.

It should be fixed , if not clean flash the latest build.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Predatorhaze:
How do you know it's related to that fix?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] king1990:
because what he described is known to be related to the NFC problem we have in any GSI builds.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] TPMJB:
Well then Verequez (sp?) b20 has an issue with the bootstack.

Don't really care, though. Old man doesn't use the phone in a way that root detection matters.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ibphantom:
Seems to have fixed it. I am noticing silent notifications while my phone is set to vibrate.

Usually I turn DND on for work and turn it off when I get in the car. It's turned off but I'm still missing call and text notifications. My screen wakes and displays the notification, just not a vibration. I checked per app settings and everywhere in Android audio settings. Outlook gives a short vibration when I receive an email, but that's the only app I get a vibration from.

Yes if I do that Play Store crashes, but it does delete the app.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] yxd0018:
The issue is the play store won't open again until reboot.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Just so you guys know, i recently had this exact issue, but on my OnePlus 6t. Deleting app in Library caused Play Store to crash, but still deleted the app. Annoying to open Play Store for very app I wanted to remove.

I think the issue is with the Play Store app, probably a bad update.

I rolled it back in order to delete all of the apps i needed to. It has recently updated itself again, and the problem came back.

Again, this is on a different phone, so it's most likely the app.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] king1990:
check the OP for combo fix which include brightness fix and other.

future builds should include the overlay fix by default
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ibphantom:
TBH there's a lot of small issues with this ROM that are making me want to switch back to something more stable. I still have DND issues and auto brightness is messed up. Theming breaks the system a lot, so I find myself constantly reinstalling themes and seeing apps crash.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dcs4:
I did flash the combo. Does the vendor matter ? I have the nfound one
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] king1990:
Have you tried to go back to older build to see if you still have issue with the vibration ?

Do you use the overlay fix ? The auto brightness curve can be easily modified. I wonder if you prefer los implementation?

The themes will break using kran vendor, with nfound it wont

Then the auto brightness should be fine.

Is it dim using los15.1 ?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dcs4:
No it was fine LOS 15.1, Ty for the tip
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] juniorD:
Does anyone have the download for the LOS 15.1 vendor?

Also did anyone find a fix for the vendor mismatch issue? Through some googling I found out the the vendor its asking for (P2Q something) is the Pixel phone original vendor you can extract from the original Pixel firmware. So I found it and of course tried it and of course it didnt work.

Is it possible to modify the original vendor to work for the Axon?

---------- Post added at 02:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 AM ----------

I must say I love this ROM. It has a few issues but nothing major. System UI freezes sometimes but I wonder if that has something to do with the vendor. But I really really like this ROM. It has all the tweaks and options I like and 90% stable. I think Ive found my daily driver but like I said its not perfect. The vendor mismatch issue is annoying but I dont know exactly what that effects.

Can someone fill me in on what the vendor is actually responsible for and what issues it would cause if its not exact?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ttkian:
If you want Los 15.1 vendor, you can install the rom then wipe everything except for the vendor. There you will have it.

You can easily fix the vendor mismatch issue by installing the Magiskhide pros config.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] juniorD:
I knwo about the ROM installation method. Im asking if there is a separate download for the vendor.

If you have an October build or older it might boot
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] juniorD:
Ok. I've been googling and searching through this forum and I did find one but it didn't work. Is there a way to extract the vendor from the zip? I was able to do that with the Pixel firmware as I mentioned. Im doing more searching to find the ROM zip cuz all I have is the EDL package for LOS 15.1. If anyone does come across it before I do please post the link that would be much appreciated.

Also if my memory serves TWRP 3.2.2 Labs version cannot flash vendor imgs, only vendor zips right? You have to use the regular TWRP 3.2.3 to flash vendor imgs.

If by vendor mismatch issue, you mean the warning message that pops up on the lock screen after every boot, then I don't think that you're gonna find a vendor to fix that here on XDA. I was made recently aware of a vendor that has fixed this, Speedy vendor, but it's not posted here. Your only options are to find it on telegram or 4PDA, but both will be a hassle regardless (I did the latter because one of my friends happen to also be fluent in Russian, so they just helped me get past the capcha). Other than that, the vendors for our device currently aren't the best, all of them will have some quirks here and there, and it's more your choice on which bugs you're okay dealing with and which ones you aren't.

Does encryption work on this ROM? I haven't been keeping up with P and the vendor development lately and I couldn't find anything from searching encryption or encrypt in this thread.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
You cannot encrypt GSI, we don't have the proper vendor/files for it.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] HunterBlade:
I just went ahead and flashed LiquidRemix real quick and realized what you meant by the vendor mismatch. Sorry to say, but Speedy Vendor doesn't fix that either. It used to get rid of the "internal error" error that you would get when you first boot up a GSI, however, this vendor message is new even for me. It might be due to a mismatch with the LR build itself.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
Pretty sure you can get rid of vendor mismatch false message at boot by simply flashing Magisk Hide Props and setting it to any Google Pixel fingerprint. The Axon fingerprint is no longer verified for Google Playstore I think.
