You don't need to flash a vendor, just flash the rom, gapps and it's done.

Hi Raystef66,

Many thanks, again, for your awesome work.

Could please let me know the best way to switch the buttons position again? (Back on left)

I tried your magisk module, but it seems to be not working anymore.

Basicly you can use the DF!NR aroma zip in which you can set the position you want.

Or you can do it manually :

go to :

(system)/vendor/usr/keylayout/synaptics_dsx.kl and change back and app_switch

key 158 BACK

Is there any way to support your work?

Totally free but you can by pushing the Donate to me button on one of my posts.

Btw, I made a new module for the Swap buttons. You can now choose which layout you want in the module installer for magisk ;)

Switched from your 6.6 build + baddar kernel to this build, tried the ROM with it's stock kernel, Must say I was missing a lot with baddar kernel!! This is the best ROM + kernel for axon 7 period, a full hour of pubg on lite graphics and the frequency kept holding at 2.15 GHz for the big cluster while maintaining below 55° temp, the thermal engine on this is crazy cool, the ROM has the fluid ui of Android pie and all the customizations and everything,combined with magisk and soundmods, it's giving me the most perfect axon 7 experience ever! Thank you so much.

Hi Raystef66

I have a gsi rom installed on my device and i would like to know if it's possible to install your " Viper Os " rom and how to do ?

Will there be a problem or will it be easy to do ?

thanx ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
There would be no problem - just follow the OP installation guide which is one way to do it.

Basicly - to be sure - follow this : (i'm using twrp3218)

*backup ALL

*wipe system, vendor, data, cache/dalvik

*if needed flash universal bootstack https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410932744536985259

*up to you : flash twrp3218 again / reboot twrp

*flash rom

*flash gapps (reboot twrp)

*flash magisk19.3

*reboot and wait a couple of minutes

Raystef66, which one of baddar kernel does work for this ROM? Is it the RC 1.2 or the one for LOS (March'19)? Thanks.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
The RC 1.2 is the latest afaik and will work fine with this rom. You can always revert back though so no worries.

Up to you to test and give some feedback on "stock" <>RC1. 2

On page 4 it's beeing written that you do need a vendor partition.

So, do you need one to install this ROM or don't you?

And if it's needed, which size snd position is recommended?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] leo22498:
Yeah, you need the vendor partition, but you don't need to flash a vendor, for example (Nfound vendor)

Sorry if my english is bad.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] TorqueSsS:
[MENTION=260001]SaBo[/MENTION]

I've used Oki's Party tool to create a vendor when I installed a custom ROM. First RR 7.0.2, now ViperOS 6.7.

The config I selected was 512MB at the END of the SYSTEM partition. This was the recommended config according to Oki, the creator of the tool himself.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Volumetrik:
I'd like to thank your for this ROM. I enjoy it since yesterday, very smooth and clean.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Ghostface009:
Bump here

I suggest keeping the stock kernel of this ROM, battery life may get slightly worse but the performance is night and day difference.

I tried baddar, it's a very powersave biased/tuned type of kernel.

---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------

Op I have a question, does this ROM/Kernel have [MENTION=6977124]Skrem339[/MENTION] 's CAD audio drivers included? (Akm4490 for all?)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dutchbird:
Does "official" mean it can be updated via settings? I.e. without manually updating via TWRP and thus keeping all apps running?

I also see that Resurrection is official by same OP, which one should I choose?

Currently on unofficial LOS 15.1. Is update from that easy or do I need to repartition?

Thnx in advance!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] juniorD:
What I do REALLY REALLY REALLY appreciate is the links and information on what boot/vendor works best with the ROM. THANK YOU! This was not the norm and it was frustrating trying to figure out which would work if you're not a tech head. I hope this becomes the benchmark and norm when uploading custom ROMs from this point on. :highfive: :good:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Dodgexander:
No. It means Ray has been approved by the viper team to be an official maintainer. Not all roms have auto updater apps and those that do either don't work or just reboot to twrp and auto install anyway. As far as I know there's none for our phone that auto updates.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dutchbird:
Thank you for the reply. My real concern is will updating mean that I will have to wipe everything and reinstall my apps, thus requiring reactivation of banking apps, restoring backups (WhatsApp) etc....
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] juniorD:
Why is the recents button and back buttons reversed? Where is the option to change it back?

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] juniorD:
A few changes and requests. The ROM runs smooth so far no issues there. Minor tweaks for me I guess

– Option to swap the recents and back buttons back to where they were thats native. Dont know why it was changed in the first place

– Direct entry option on the lockscreen so I dont need to hit confirm when unlocking. Quicker

– The recents has that weird rounded background that overlaps the actual recents windows. Is there an option to remove it

–*Is there no NFC support?

– More Power menu options please

– Quick settings has a secondary options bar that had carrier name, Quick settings edit, Viper settings and phone settings icons and access when you pull all the way down. Can we have the option to display that at all times even on first pulldown? Its much more convenient and quicker to get to settings that way.

– An option to get a clock on the Home screen At A Glance panel. I like big clocks like on the lockscreen thats readily visable. Dont want to have to add a whole widget for it.

– Are there nightlight options?

–*Now Im just asking but is there a way to get Lawnchair as the native launcher? Only reason being I like using Google Icons pack and it doesnt work with Quickstep.

Thanks.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] juniorD:
What I like about this ROM is that its really smooth. But it doesnt have some of the options and features I was used to. Is there anyway to add features to a ROM without having to wait on a big update?

Second question if I modify using Magisk does that mean the modifications only work as long as I have Magisk installed/running? Or does it make permanent changes to the system?

---------- Post added at 04:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

Can we just dirty flash without wiping anything to update?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Dodgexander:
Yes, this is the biggest annoyance when trying different releases. Even when you back up your apps there's no guarantee they will restore correctly. This is the reason why many will not mess about installing different roms on their primary device and keep their secondary for this purpose.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Gachmuret:
When changing between different ROMs that's correct but [MENTION=10032217]dutchbird[/MENTION] asked about updates... Normally as long as you stay on the same ROM you can just update (flash latest release over the installed one) without wiping anything ... except if there are some major changes made in the ROM or if you feel that the ROM becomes unstable it can become necessary to do a full wipe
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dutchbird:
That's good to know, thanks. Two last questions: do I need to repartition coming from LOS15.1 (I believe it has a vendor partition, not sure about the size) and can anyone recommend (perhaps Ray himself) whether to flash ViperOS or Resurrection Remix?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
If you're running LineageOS 15 already (any version from this year or later), then you don't need to partition a vendor.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] TorqueSsS:

Annoying camera, gallery and more.

Hi guys I've flashed the rom and to be honest it was a lot more complicated than the last time I did something like this back on my old HTC one x+.

Anyway, thanks for the rom, it works great except for the photos Google application and Google camera that keep crashing. I don't care about the gallery but I'd like to have back my axon camera app.

I found online some magisk module but it works only on nougat (I've tried it). Can someone please help me? And also music is a lot lauder than before, is the DAC chipset still working with this rom?

Quick Update

I've played with the rom a lot yesterday and I found out that the Google quick search bar in the drawer doesn't work, I can interact only with the assistant from that bar. (just to point it out, cause I don't use it)

Also when you unlock the phone from the shortcut in the lockscreen you get an unlock pad in a strange white-ish color. Also you can't activate the "non unlock feature from the right/left shortcut" cause it ask you to unlock anyway in order to use the related app.

Hope it can be useful for future releases, I don't want to annoy anyone :)

Thanks, Shane.

Encryption

Hi everyone, i'm still here and this time Is pretty bad.

Encryption Just doesn't work. I've tried ti encrypt my data from the security menu but on the 2nd restart It freezes and then TWRP kicks in but the procedure Is far from being finished. At First i thought It was a problem caused by the inabilty to charge the device while It Is off(the charger forces restart during the procedure), but i've tried unplugging the charger during encryption and it's the same.

Had to factory reset both times, so don't try to encrypt the device before it's fixed.

I had some time to investigate this issue by (unfortunately :crying:) superseding last ViperOS by last update of crDROID ROM. It was the last shot to troubleshoot this GPS issue: either it was my GPS hardware, or ROM compatibility. At first test, GPS worked like a charm with all acquired satellites necessary to fix position in less than 20 seconds, but once time only

I swapped ViperOS on the other phone and realized it fixes satellites better than mine. I can say finally my GPS and Compass functions do not work correctly: compass function loses its references quickly and needs to be reinitialized oftenly (hardware problem?)

As I really appreciate your work on custom ROMS, I would like to know, if possible, what is your daily smartphone. Maybe I would buy the same, so that I can still enjoy your work for a couple of time.

Grimfa,

I came from LOS 14.1, from which GPS used to work perfectly. After ROM updated to PIE, it didn't work correctly as I previously described in another post.

Maybe some Axon7 devices doesn't support correctly that operation, I don't really know.

I am just sure that could work in some situations because I cross checked between two units with both ViperOS / crDroid with no help with one.

FYI, I experienced something weird too with modem, maybe the origin of the issue is located somewhere in it.. I used the same apk to see informations provided by HW.

GPS problem

Hey,

i dont think it is a hardware problem. Have also massive problems with gps, since i use this rom. Need long time to find satellites and only find a few in gps status for example 4/31. I like this rom too much to change to another one. But if anyone could fix it, this would be great.
