Live wallpapers - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I have a ZTE Axon 7 A2017G with the latest Android version (V7.1.1, build 1.2.0B02) and I can not use home screen live wallpapers : they are not offered by MiFavor (only static home screen wallpapers) and if using Nova Launcher it is also not possible to install these live wallpapers, such as those displaying a dynamic image of the weather. Nova Launcher allows you to select a live wallpaper, but there is an error message (application not installed or wallpaper picker not found).
Are live wallpapers incompatible with this Android version on Axon 7?
Should I do to install a wallpaper picker and where to find it?
Or even, if I need to reinstall an old Android version (it seems to me that under Lollipop it worked), how do I do it (the update.zip file on the SD card does not allow to reinstall a version older than the current version)?
Thanks.

Don't work, always return to the default wallpaper (starry sky) after a while.

Hello, I've got an Axon 7 G with the stock Rom B09 Nougat.
I haven't any problem with live wallpapers.
For example, with Rainpaper nothing is deactivate in the economy settings and it works continuously.
The wallpaper I have used for the test.

So my question is ; have you made a reset after your upgrade to nougat ?
Sometimes it helps to solve some problems which often happens after an update.

[Q] Live Wallpaper

Reinstall the rom

[Q] [N9005] Live Wallpapers on Custom Rom

Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2595791
I'm using this rom and I can't use any live wallpapers. It seems like there's no LiveWallpapersPicker.apk, so whenever I launch FiveWallpapers, it crashes immediately. When I go into settings and choose wallpaper, there's no live wallpaper option. When I try to set a live wallpaper through Apex, it gives a toast saying "app not installed".
I found this guide, but the LiveWallpapersPicker.apk doesn't seem to be compatible with my rom/phone. I've tried a variety of LiveWallpapersPicker.apk files I've found around the forum, but I've only been met with a variety of different error message toasts. According to this, I may need more than just that .apk.
Anyone know where I can get it/these? Can someone upload theirs for me? The rom is 4.4.2 Samsung based.

Changing fonts on Marshmallow

So recently I've installed a "Colors of M" theme.
Everything's cool and stuff but the only problem is the font that has changed when I applied theme mentioned above. I noticed that it also causes some apps to have problems with showing the UI icons properly. For example Evernote, I'll upload screenshot to show you what I mean
I tried to go back to one of built in themes, obsidian for example, everything is getting back to normal except the font. (the font is similar to that one used in Google logo).
So my question is how do something about it? and also sorry for mistakes in this post,English Isn't my primary language
I'm using Huawei GRA-L09 B321

[Tutorial] How to install Google Play on H2OS 2.5 using OpenGapps

I was so happy that OP finally released H2OS 2.5, this one is probably the best ROM with custom UI, unlike MIUI or Flyme, it is still in Material Language. However, after a clean flash, I found it is not pre-installed entire google service and it doesn't work well with OpenGapps. Here is the tutorial.
Before I start, make sure you have installed a custom recovery like TWRP. If not, go to twrp.me and flash the recovery via fastboot. And BTW, plz forgive my poor English, if there are any mistakes, leave the comments blow, Thank you!
1. Install H2OS 2.5(I believe you already did this) and Root package.
2. After the setup, reboot to Recovery, choose Mount - System. then flash OpenGapps, in this step, I suggest you guys choose Nano version, mini version will replace the stock calendar with Google Calendar and other variants of Gapps will replace more stock apps.
3. Go to Advanced - File Manager, delete /system/priv-app/SetupWizard/setupwizard.apk
DO THIS NO MATTER YOU CAN ACCESS GOOGLE OR NOT, OTHERWISE YOU WILL NOT ENTER LAUNCHER!
4. After the reboot, Install and Open Titanium Backup, Tap Backup/Restore and you will find several Google-related apps are frozen, tap those and defrost them.
5. Convert Google Contacts Sync into user-app, after that go to Settings - Apps - Google Contacts Sync - Permissions, grant the permission on read contacts.
6. Reboot and Enjoy, don't forget use a proxy if you are in China!​
----------------------------
To enable Screen Search (Google Now on Tap), go to Settings - Buttons - Home Button, Long Press Action - Search Assistant.
If your phone still can't work somehow, try following steps.
1. Install and Open Nova Launcher, long press screen - Widgets - Activities. Then choose Settings - Assist & Voice input
2. Open this shortcut, tap Assist app and choose None, after that tap Assist app again and switch back to Google app.​
OP made their own Default App selection interface, so you can't go to Settings - Apps - Gear Icon - Default apps to select correct search assistant. That's why we need Nova Launcher to open this interface.
Screen Search should work then.
I already installed it using the Google Installer APK, so this method is of no use to me, but I sincerely hope it benefits several others.
Wow, you really seem to know your way around H2OS.
Could you help me with a problem I've been facing? I installed Pixel Launcher, and there's a hideous blue portion of the wallpaper that I can't remove. I understand you need to switch to the OnePlus Launcher to modify the wallpaper, so I switched to the OnePlus Launcher, changed the wallpaper, but the blue portion still persists.

There are additional options when changing wallpapers in the h2os launcher. I don't think you can entirely get rid of the colour blending at the bottom but you can change the colour and the area it covers. The one exception I have found is the Google wallpapers app, that is full screen.
My notifications don't sync with my android wear. Do you maybe have a fix for this, since this is the only reason I can't use H2os
