[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] TorqueSsS:
If it helps narrowing down some issues, I got some of the above as well:

-Camera is really hit or miss, sometimes it works after a reboot, both stock and GCAM(Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_BF_V2.2.1.190822.1145 - Arnova8G2 port), sometimes it doesn't connect at all, no matter the app, even Whatsapp messenger. Frankly, it's pretty unusable.

-There's a weird text block in the quick settings menu (10 (QQ2A.200501.001.B2))

-System app uninstalling does not work, especially AudioFX which seems to mess with the audio.

On the audio topic, there's no high resolution apparently, everything gets downsampled to 16bit/48KHz. TLDR: Tested stock 8.0 through LOS 10.0, sound is the same.

I've tried Neutron, Poweramp, Blackplayer, GPM, but notably, only Poweramp seems to tell exactly what gets outputted and through what. Neutron does it too, but it's a bit more ambiguous.

Now, this got me thinking yesterday and since I was swapping ROMs I did install multiple, including stock to test this.

To my amazement, not even the stock rom can output through Poweramp at 24/48 or 24/192. Or at least it doesn't tell. No matter what codec I use (Open SL ES, AudioTrack, DirectHD), the output quality is locked at 16bit/48Khz according to the UI.

Compared to my desktop Xonar U7 MKII using foobar2000 and ASIO playback, i do hear a sound difference using a pair of Sennheiser HD-569s(23Ohm). It's not placebo, and it's not tone difference between the two devices. The Axon does indeed have a mild V shape response compared to Xonar's flatter response, but using the same files(24/192 Vinyl rips), I feel like the instruments on the Axon are not spaced at all. It still sounds way better than most phones and the volume is still high enough which suggests to me that the software is using the AK DAC, but apparently it's not used at its full potential. Now, I don't think 192Khz is that noticeable compared to 44.1/48, however, I tested and i can notice the difference between 16bit and 24bit. And I think that's where my perception of a less spaced sound comes for the Axon.

8.0 SL!M8, 9.0 VOS, crDroid 5.12 and this LOS 17.1 all sound the same.

While playing on crDroid yesterday in Poweramp, I somehow toggled 24/192 output by repeatedly turnning DVC on and off, but there was no output in headphones. Music was playing, path suggested that the output was the AUX/Headpohes yet it was completely quiet.

SSs with two different file paths(24/44.1 - 24/192) in Poweramp

SSs with Poweramp settings, Neutron Audio Hardware tab

I'll play more with the ROM this week, see if I can notice a behaviour for the camera, but I might switch back to crDroid 5.12 depending if need the phone or note. It's my daily driver but since I'm at home these days i don't use it much. As long as calls and messages work(and they do) i'll keep testing stuff.

Please can you direct me to the link to download the right universal bootstack for this? I'm very concerned I may download the wrong version that is best for this ROM.

Another question I have is, does this room need vendor partition to be set up or does the ROM automatically sets up the vendor partition?

Thank you for your help.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jtalamas:
I am using this Bootstack: ZTE_A2017GV1.3.0B04_BootStack_by_raystef66.zip

However if you are using A2017U you need to additionally patch the Modem: A2017U-O-B20-MODEM.zip

I believe the one that raystef66 is using is the universal one: A2017x_LineageOS15.1_UniversalBootstack_v2_by_DrakenFX.zip

Regarding your question about the vendor partition, you need to set up the partition previous installing this ROM. You can use this tool to create the partition Party_v0.5_ARM_20180831.zip
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Dodgexander:
My wife's pixel also has the long text, I think it's a Google problem.

Not being able to remove system apps is likely a bootstack/magisk issue rather than rom. Try a fresh install with B12 bootstack.

Audio - this phone really isn't as good audio wise as the specs lead you to believe. It's got nothing to do with sample rate so I wouldn't worry about it.

Devs are trying desperately to fix the camera issue and there's as yet not even a custom kernel based on 10 so any small issues compared to these are probably not important.

Help Needed

# I UNINSTALLED AUDIOFX #

I don't know what the cause of the issue...

Dolby Atmos for android 10, it works fine but when you close the Dolby Atmos app, the sound goes back to normal and a text says "remote service has stopped working", The only fix i came to is to install Viper4android with Dolby Atmos, but the the package installer stops working and you can't uninstall anything.

Can someone explain this to me: (what is remote service, and why does it stop working on an offline app, and why Viper4android crashes the package installer)???
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] BenToonen:
I Just wanted to let you know that i also am happely trying this rom. I hope you develope it further. I have 3 zte axon 7's because i like the hardware. I hope that with this work: me, my dad, my girlfriend can use the zte axon 7 for a long time.

For issues, the 20200531 rom was working for me also the camera but no FP. The new rom 20200617 the FP is working but no cam.

Hope that you keep up with the good work

Nevermind the camera,, after 4 or 5 times rebooting it started working
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] krockcorp:
So i found the fix for the Dolby Atmos problem, so after installing the Dolby Atmos mod, enter the app and edit your settings as you would, when you exit it will say " remote service has stopped working "

You just have to restart and Dolby Atmos will work just fine with your settings, but if you enter the app and edit anything and exit again, you will get the message again, and you will have to restart again.

1-So install Dolby Atmos mod via magisk or twrp.

2-Edit the settings you want.

3-Restart and don't open the app again.

Will work just fine... enjoy ;)

Just in case it senses, in the HTC M7 rom of lineageos 17 they are using the footej camera version 2.4.1 build 202. The first time the app takes sometimes to open configuring camera port but later works fine.

New bugs,

1- WhatsApp voice recording sounds like a robot having a heart attack.

2- When long pressing power button for flashlight, sometimes the rom crashes and restarts, "not for too long, like 2 seconds".

3- Camera still doesn't work.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Despite recent events claiming the contrary, I have a great deal of respect for all of the devs who made this ROM possible. As evidence, I expressed my gratitude earlier in this thread. I also am one of many testers that assisted these particular devs in testing several ROMs for this device, including this one.

Also due to recent events, I have regained interest in this device. As of now, I am switching back to the Axon 7 as my daily driver, so that I can again be part of this community. These events have helped me discover that , I really missed XDA, specifically the Axon 7 community.

Looking forward to testing and reporting the features of this ROM.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] rondellborel:
First of all, thanks to everyone that worked on this for breathing new life into this device. I'm having reboot issues when charging from the charger, the phone reboots after a few minutes then it gets stuck on the splash screen and I have to restart with adb, it works fine while charging from usb.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
Is this with the phone switched off? Just confirming, as offline charging doesn't work on our current bootloader.

If it's whilst the phone is switched on and booted to the system, try flashing the bootloader again. You can find the recommended one here. After flashing this, make sure to flash your TWRP image again as the bootloader replaces the current one with a semi-broken TWRP which has some issues with mounting partitions.

Also, does this only happen on LineageOS 17 or does it also happen on other roms?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] rondellborel:
It happens when the phone is turned on but I should add, only when I'm using it while it's charging and only when the charge amps is >2000.

I think it may be an issue with overheating at higher charge amperages because I have no issues when the charge drops below 2000 amps or when charging via USB. I'll monitor it for a couple of days to see if it happens again. And yes it only happens on LineageOS 17 as this is the first time I've had this issue.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] CryptMan:
Yeah!, great to see that the Axon 7 is still alive.

Do you plan to make this build's official LineageOS?

I have two Axon7 one for testing and I would like to know if it is worth waiting to flash my daily-driver with the test build.

Appreciation! & ?Updates

Hi there,

thank you very much for having invested all the time to get this update done! I just have two question:

1. Now when some members seem to discover some bugs, will you be able to provide some updates?

2. Will you consider submitting it to the normal/official Lieage OS Devices site so it could be obtained through them?

One again thanks a lot for all your engineering:):):):)!

Well yes it costed us a lot of effort to bring Q alive and we're still searching for solutions as to the camera issue and others.

As to the updates, there will be for sure but not at the moment.

Also waiting for some spare parts ( battery and usb dock ) as my phone's laying on IC now...so no testing for me at the moment :eek:

And I'm fairly sure LOS17.1 won't be any better if it would get official status or not...

Anyway, we'll keep you all updated if there are major developments.

Wow, I never thought I would get that far with this phone, thank you so much!

Is there a way to contribute? I'd love to explore these topics more in depth and I have so many questions right now:

How come this still runs on an O-bootstack (what do they do actually?)

Is this related to project-treble? Should it?

Can we make use of phhusson's framework, or can we at least port it in any way?

Where do I start to dig into this? Like how was the existing vendor-data generated?

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] h3ndrik:
Hey, first a big big thanks. I made my way through several of the previous lineageos versions for this phone and i'm very grateful for the time and effort you put into getting this to work. This ROM seems pretty stable and even the battery life is excellent. I didn't take any measurements but i'm using this daily now.

I made a list of the bugs I observed on the 20200617 build:

1. Camera only recognized sporadically (as advertised). It took me about 20 reboots to make it work and after the next reboot the connection was lost again for the next 20-30 restarts.

2. When camera not recognized: Camera sometimes clicks for minutes and moves lens (observed while browsing with firefox mobile)

3. In-call volume is absurdly high. this already happened with lineageos 15.0 or 16.0 (i can't remember which) but was fixed eventually. Adjusting the volume seems to work but even on the lowest setting I have to move the phone away from my ear. (A2017G)

4. SELinux is disabled

5. Trying to encrypt the phone results in a boot-loop

Obviously 4 and 5 seem more complex and are probably more of a feature-request at this stage.

EDIT: 6: Also the phone often doesn't show the dialer when ringing, rendering it impossible to answer the call. I can only call back after it shows the missed call.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] samwichse:

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Reremoll:
Hmm, it seems like someone already had that issue, but it was ignored : I can get the rom to boot just fine, it is super smooth and runs really well. But as soon as I flash magisk, I'm stuck on a bootloop. The bootanimation never ends.

I tried with nearly any bootstack/vendor/magisk combo and yet the issue persists. This also happens whith other GSI roms on Q (like HavocOS which runs just fine whithout root).

Any ideas on how to fix that ?

I was on the oki-labs TWRP (which is 3.2.3 I believe). I tried with the 3.1.8 as well, but no luck either. The flashing happens whithout any error, but I can't get the phone to boot properly afterwards.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] krockcorp:
I used your latest version of the rom daily since you released it and here is what's wrong (hope this helps):

1- Camera # of course # lol

2- laggy unlock screen on start up.

3- Sometimes the phone just bugs and the screen doesn't turn on and i have to restart.

4- If i try to open the camera the flash light bugs and stops working and if i try to use it with long pressing power button, phone restarts.

5- External SD sometimes doesn't show up.

6- Slight overheating and power consumption (i have a new battery and a new screen and replaced thermal paste).

7- Mic is terrible using WhatsApp voice recording and in calls if i enable speaker also zoom.

8- Mic and sound straight up doesn't work on voice calls over wifi like on messenger and WhatsApp.

9- Charging is hit or miss with fast charging, works fine on older roms *pie*.

10- Fingerprint unlock is slower than previous roms *9*.

11- Earpiece is defining in calls

#///*Features requested*///#

1- Double tab home button to screenshot.

2- Face unlock because google removed it.

3- Shutter and screenshot sounds off.

4- Gcam instead of lineage camera app, with working OIS.

5- Man get rid of Audio fx, i can uninstall it using debloat in magisk, but still.

6- Can you bring back power profiles, you removed it in the previous version.

7- Can you add an option to change audio steps because stock is stupid.

Compiles and runs OK enough on my phone (SELinux and encryption is off, but that could just be an issue on my part), but as I don't really use my Axon as a daily driver, it might have some crucial issues. You are on your own and I don't think OP or I could help you there.
