Ya think? Maybe I didn't configure it right. Mi-Assistant was a pain in the butt, and most apps wouldn't open right (freezes and a blank screen for minutes on end) till you enabled "Autorun". Manually had to install the Play Store app. Some Google Apps like Duo and Phone wouldn't even install. I eventually had to go back to stock Oreo for the A2017U as B22 was near-impossible to use as a daily driver, IMO.

Welcome to XDA, been following you on 4pda, amazing work, thanks!!

I can confirm that, excellent rom, very stable
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] HunterBlade:
Alrighty, managed to get most of the stuff working after a bit of tinkering. Substratum is "mostly" working (got flux light installed and so my phone looks almost like Pie now), Magisk 18.1 works fine with it, VoLTE works but WFC doesn't, and surprisingly enough, offline charging works as well. I am wondering though about how the OP was able to shift the statusbar clock (like in the screenshots provided). Can't find that option anywhere, and I would kinda prefer having it on the far left rather than far right.

Edit: Nvm, managed to do it using Substratum. Also, for anyone trying to use Andromeda to theme their UI, it won't work. For some reason, only using Substratum with root is able to apply themes (no idea to why this is, but at least that's how it is with my device).

I didn't have any password prior to installing this ROM, I was on dotos removed security.

Trying to restore my TWRP back for now.

Yes, The pure android V2 B22 based is also a very good ROM but I'm more of a MiFavor fun. I use 2 sims and I like the 2 buttons feature on dialer/messages app.

On a side note, Is it possible to make a B22 no Gapps ROM with signature spoofing enabled..?

[MENTION=6572939]dimkin_76[/MENTION] Is it possible to add English language to your mods?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Predatorhaze:
Ther is English included,if I'm correct all languages are available as you know it on stock ROMs.

Russian is just default,go to settings and choose your language
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] squicky:
I also did everything from the guide and stuck on Axon logo. After some thought, I've changed Data and Cache partitions from F2FS to EXT4 in TWRP Wipe section. I've lost my files in the process because I've forgotten that it will format internal memory, so be advised and do backup to external memory card. Flashed ROM again and after that I've had no problems booting system.

UPDATE:

Today I've tried to do the same procedure, but with A2017GV1.3.0B03_BootStack couldn't boot system (black screen). With B20_Bootstack_by_Verequies_Splash_No-Message it booted fine. I don't know if I imagine things, but I think that earlier I could use custom TWRP with this ROM and now only official TWRP works.

i installed youtube with aroma installer. now i'd like to use magisk vanced version instead. every time youtube updates, the magisk version disappears. clean reinstall i would like to avoid since a lot has been installed and set since. is there another solution? :confused:

also a banking app wont work with fingerprint but with pin. it used to work with fp before on stock oreo w no root. is there a way of getting it to work? rooted+magisk 18.1. safety.net check passed.

Are you serious? Just turn off auto updates in playstore.This is your problem

.....
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] drahtwurst:
yes chef, i am serious :silly: i have auto updates for all apps disabled in playstore. but it will still youtube update when i do "update all", twice a week. updating all (80+) apps manually is not really a friendly option. i dont think you would do so yourself. it would be easier to uninstall yt updates everytime + reinstall magisk version.

so can i just use the aroma installer and tick youtube and then its done without loosing other data+settings?

and what about this banking app?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Predatorhaze:
This what you say does not make any sense.To much hussle because of lazyness.Its your own problem if you want to reinstall magisk everytime,and why the hell you want to run the rom aroma installer everytime only for youtube :confused: :eek:

Updating apps manual is FRIENDLY,so we are not forced with automatic updates.

Sorry to say,but this what you mention is really ridicilous to me
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] drahtwurst:
it does not make sense to you. you spill some opinions and dont even understand what i am saying. better read my questions again. if you cannot respect another way of dealing with updates than yours, what are you doing here?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] HunterBlade:
Why are you installing YouTube with an Aroma installer...

Also, you answered your own question before. You pressed "update all", which does exactly what it says, it update all your apps regardless of if you have auto-updates on or not. If you don't want it to do that to your YouTube app, just get Titanium Backup and detach the app from the market, then it won't show up at all on the play store and you won't keep updating it over and over.

As for your banking app, did you enable Magisk hide for the app?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] YourHighnesss:
hello will this rom work for the A2017G in europe? Thanks in advance :)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Predatorhaze:
Yes,choose G model in aroma installation
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
You can flash this rom on all models. Use the right modem though, proper bootstack mentioned in OP or universal O bootstack

I think you're confusing with some other russian aroma's in the past ;)

This aroma has no choice in model. Like said : it's made for all models, just flash - if needed - your own modem afterwards (in most cases it's not even necessary)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] brian117:
Awesome work [MENTION=5334294]raystef66[/MENTION]. You are the only dev who cares about us stock users which I thank you for. Just have a couple questions if you have time. First question being would WiFi Calling work for the 2017U model when flashing the proper modem? Second question, does the B03 update differ vastly from the recently released B23 update in terms of making Magisk, system write, etc work? I'd love to give this ROM a try but I'd be coming from A2017U B20 and wanted to make sure WiFi Calling will work and if you have plans to update this ROM to the latest B23 since I see B23 was released back on the 17th. Thanks!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
You're most welcome :highfive:

This b03 is based on G version. Didn't test wifi calling att but others users can clarify.

If it works it should be working on U version too. Up to you to test. Doesn't take long ;)

The system r/w can be obtained with a couple of files to be applied. Was working on the newest B23 for A2017 as a slim version. But haven't had the time to finish.

edit : btw, there as already made a good one by Dimkin shared y my friend [MENTION=5545452]totmakina[/MENTION] : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78968277&postcount=555

So or the B03 Slim, perhaps just flash and test it out. Backup first.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] HunterBlade:
Sorry to have to break the news to ya, but sadly WFC is broken (at least on T-Mobile). From my experience, WFC is broken on both US and EU versions of Oreo. Forcing WFC on through build.prop edits just cause calls to drop randomly and caller ID to completely break. I haven't tried out B23 yet, so no idea if it works for Chinese Oreo. I don't think WFC has been working correctly since Nougat. Regardless, it wouldn't hurt to try, maybe you'll have better luck at getting it to work than me.

Does BO3 or any stock ROM support Vulkan API ?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Predatorhaze:
No.For now only nougat rom.

b23 also opengl but i noticed better graphics in games,for example vainglory it shows real player shadows instead of the dot shadow
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] brian117:
Thank you for the info! I may give it a try tomorrow and see what happens. I am mostly worried about the Chinese firmware not playing nicely with the U variant. Thanks for the update on the B23 as well. That'll probably be the one I try out first.

EDIT: The MEGA link in the post is giving an invalid URL. Just a heads up to your friend. :good:

Thank you for the reply. Most people never respond to questions about WFC because there's only a handful of people that actually care about it and use it occasionally. I am running B20 stock on my 2017U and WiFi Calling seems to work for me. It shows the icon in the status bar and calls can be made. Tested it by enabling airplane mode and turning WiFi back on and enabling WFC and calls connect fine. I am also using T-Mobile. Strange that you are having problems!

B20 is Nougat if I remember correctly. I think you might have misunderstood what I was trying to say. I meant that Oreo broke WFC (at least the US and EU releases of the firmware). That would be B12 and B03 respectively. Stock Nougat had WFC working fine. I'm not sure about the Chinese stock builds, as they might have fixed the problems that are present on the US and EU builds.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] brian117:
Sorry I should've clarified. No the B20 I am running is Android 8.0.0. I'm sure there was a B20 Nougat build at one point but I am running stock Oreo. I have been running Oreo since the beta throughout the different versions (was a beta tester for Oreo) and WFC has always seemed to work. It was one of the main things I've tested daily. Not sure why you are unable to have it functioning properly. :confused:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] HunterBlade:
Ah, that was my bad. All these numbering systems between the 3 variants of the Axon 7 is really confusing. It seems like B20 was the official release of Oreo for the U variant. Also, I'm not 100% sure either. I'm using Mint Mobile (which does support WFC) as my provider, which is a T-Mobile MVNO. I might flash over B20 again and see how it goes since I miss having WFC.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] brian117:
Ah I am not too familiar with using MNVO's so there could be a conflict going on between Mint and your ability to use WFC. I know that in order to get WFC working you need to have a 911 address saved in your billing account for it to connect. But I am not sure if Mint does, or even has that same procedure. Could always contact Mint and find out. Maybe it has to do with an APN issue as well.

[MENTION=5334294]raystef66[/MENTION] I would love to try this ROM out, however I am skeptical about using such an older build since there's B23 out now. If you have any plans to make a ROM exactly like Slim based off the B23, I will jump ship immediately! I'm sure there is a demand for it too as we all have problems with Magisk working so being able to have the most recent Chinese firmware plus root would be awesome. Thank you for your hard work.

There really is a demand for the Chinese aroma with mifavor 5.2 with magisk and the amazing jojoc [MENTION=4254898]joaste[/MENTION] drum tweak, the SLIM DF! NR [https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/development/rom- slm-dfnr-t3716825] is the best ROM I've ever used on Axon. if you could do one similar to this one but with the system almost "intact", I mean, with options like leaving with the ZTE file manager, and the ZTE clock, and to exchange these for Google and ES file explorer, would be great, using the ExKM in place of the KernelAuditor, removing some bloatware anyway, make another ROM as magnificent as the DF! NR demand time and this is scarce, and I leave here my suggestion, even not being the best place. hug from a big fan of your work.

i have stock B03 on my A2017G and when i flash NFound TWRP 3.2.1.8 i cannot boot into recovery. Led blinks 3 times and phone goes off. Why ?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
Stock can only boot TWRP 3.2.1-0 or earlier. This is because of the bootstack that the stock rom uses. To boot 3.2.1-8, you need to change the bootstack first.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dodo34:
can you link the correct bootstack which i need to flash ?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
If you're planning to stay on stock Oreo, you can't change the bootstack. If you're planning to use a custom rom, then you can change it.

Stock Oreo does not allow any twrp above 3.2.1-0, and you can only go higher if you go on a custom rom.

Use 'Los15UniversalBootstack v2' from the los 15 thread if you wish to go custom rom route.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] joaocandeias:
I tried to flash this rom but something happened to my phone:

I followed every step correctly but somehow it got stuck on the bootanimation/splash screen. I decided to restart the phone because that usually fixes this problem (at least based on my experience), but it didnt and the screen was all black after the ZTE logo. After this I eventually got into TWRP and tried to repeat the whole instalation process, including downgrading TWRP to the exact version in the OP and things got worse. Now I can't even enter TWRP. The phone is completely dead now but I think it's on EDL mode because MiFlash and EDL Tool recognises it (Device manager shows as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3). However, I can't flash anything with EDL. MiFlash gives an error and EDL tool is stuck at "Loading the programmer: prog_ufs_firehose_8996_ddr.elf >>>"

Any ideas [MENTION=5334294]raystef66[/MENTION]? Thanks in advance
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] taufikthexfader:
I assume you were coming from custom rom and formatted cache partition/data/system to f2fs. If my assumption is correct, you should do the hardbrick test point (auto dfu to edl tool will not work), flash twrp labs by oki and format everything back to ext4. Finally you can flash any stock rom you desire.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
Use MiFlash to flash your EDL, it should work. Make sure to use MiFlash version 2016/04/01.

I can't leave a link unfortunately as per the rules, but if you google the version, you should be able to find it quite easily.

Next time, make sure all your device partitions are EXT4 not F2FS, and remember to perform a Factory Reset from the recovery before booting into this rom.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Afaik you're stuck at EDL mode. I encountered that once and had to drain the battery overnight. Next morning, when you press power, it should only blink once. Then you know you're out of EDL mode. Next press the button combo to enter EDL again and connect to the pc as usual. You'll notice that you won't be stuck at ''loading the...''' when you EDL the rom.

Follow the advice of [MENTION=8823286]runninghamster[/MENTION] to EDL again. Don;t forget to check you r partition and factory reset before boot when you changed to another rom/twrp version.

No, I was running China's Oreo B21 and I didn't format anything to f2fs. Do chinese roms format partitions to f2fs during the EDL flash?

---------- Post added at 09:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 AM ----------

I already downloaded it. Will try later.

As said before I didn't format anything to F2FS, unless if Chinese ROMS EDL's do that without my knowledge because I was running B21 China Oreo before.

With this you mean that I have to factory reset the phone before and after installing the ROM?

Well, I left the phone on (supposedly) ovenight and this morning I tried to do what you adviced and nothing. I pressed the button and nothing happened. The PC still recognises it as Qualcomm HS-USB 9008 (COM3) though, so I guess it still has battery and it's still stuck in EDL mode.

I'll check again when i arrive home from school.
