Hello everyone,
So we've got an active developer wanting to port Lineage 15 to the new J7 Perx on Boost/Sprint, MetroPCS, Virgin Mobile, etc. But we need to raise some funds to help @minz1 get the device in his hands. Minz1 ported Lineage 13 & 14.1 to the J700P for Boost/Sprint, Virgin, etc. He's also helped with other projects such as the Vulkan TWRP zip floating around to enable Vulkan on devices that don't ship with Vulkan but support it.
You can find Minz J700P Lineage thread here if you're interested: Lineage 14.1 for J700P. Minz got Lineage running great and stable on that device.
I'm donating to help Minz get this device in his hands, and I would like to ask if anyone else has upgraded to this new J7 Perx and enjoyed his work previously, if you can donate anything at all that would be awesome!
Use this PayPal link (this in Minz1's PayPall. You can ask him directly for confirmation.) and anything you can donate will go straight to him.
https://paypal.me/minDEV
I'm donating $50 for a start. We need a goal of at least $160 as that's the cheapest available in his area.
However I would like him to get a case as well so if we can raise a little more for a case that would be great too. The build quality of this device is not the greatest ever >.>. I broke the screen on my first one after one bad drop.
Anyway donate something if you can if you would like to see Lineage ported to this device.
Thanks for your time,
Animania260
I can verify all the information in this post is correct; if I can get my hands on the device I will first work on TWRP, then I'll work on the LineageOS bringup.

Possibly, if I can get one. However I'd only really focus on 1 device at a time.

Share it around, reddit, facebook, getting more users will always be better, and check J700P users maybe will opt in

Guess everyones lost the Faith why is no one else give what that can ?? ?
Is there still a need here? I just got this phone and am eager to start on a slimmed and themed ROM similar to my old Warp OEM, but would prefer to have a custom recovery available first.
How much more funds are needed to get this guy a J727?

And just to add a foot note: you can always donate a little extra funds to Minz through his PayPal link in the OP of this thread. Minz did not ask me to post this and he does this work because he wants to and likes tinkering with things as we all do here on XDA and in any modding community. He's never asked for funds that I know of. But if you ever feel like giving him a little bonus for his work send him a little money for a beer [emoji106] or something.

This phone is way too affordably powerful to not get some custom recovery awesomeness. I'm currently working on a slimmed ROM for the Avant, and it'd be nice if I could apply all I learned on that Samsung to this one when I'm done
Right this thing has some good potential if we can get around Samsung's broken source or whatever is preventing custom built - yet completely stock kernel source. No modifications. - from booting it'll be awesome. Minz will most likely figure it out now.
These new chips built on 14nm manufacturing process get crazy battery life and they don't overheat or at least get very hot like older chips. I have screenshots of 10.5 hour ON SCREEN TIME battery life on this device with 4% left, and it took me about another 45 minutes of YouTube videos on half brightness to completely drain the battery. Insane battery life on this thing No battery saver options enabled. Some gaming and half brightness setting or higher, as I regularly move from indoors to outdoors and I'm constantly changing the brightness.
My only gripes is no fingerprint sensor and we didn't get an AMOLED display like the J700P but the display isn't too bad once you get used to it. For the price can't complain too much. Also native Vulkan support and we should get official 7.1 and hopefully Android 0 and some point. If everything goes well of course Minz will have an Oreo Lineage Build way before we get an official build.
Though one thing I never understood - and the J700P was the same way. I've never seen even a low-end device that did not have an ambient light sensor, to automatically change the brightness of the display. What the hell is with these $200 devices (at least when first launched, it's not $200 anymore) not have an ambient light sensor -_-
I mean really doesn't bother me that much, but it's 2017... Come on. Ambient light sensor has been a simple, standard feature for a long time now.

Just wanted to say.. Thank you to all who have donated so far.. I've been between checks myself. After 4 phones with Boost and never a custom rom... it will be lovely to have one at last, and especially for such a nice device.. Thank you for your efforts Minz..
Namaste...

p.s. I'll pass along a bit when I can this next month..

Hi i have the galaxy s4 from verizon but it's actually on ebay trying to sell it because i bought the LG G2 and it's arriving today but i see that there is really only 1 decent ROM out which is CleanRom. I was wondering when CM and AOKP will be coming so i can customize my navigation buttons too and a whole bunch of other features. I havent followed up on the unlocking/rooting but when was root/recovery achieved for this device?

The bootloader hasn't been unlocked yet and I spoke with someone close to AOKP last week on Reddit and he said that none of the maintainers will be getting G2's but since the Nexus 5 will be built off of the G2, that there may be some compatibility. So it'll be a while. The N5 isn't even out yet.
We also don't have kernel source yet which makes any CM or AOKP base kinda hard to get running.
Development for anything non-nexus or locked bootloader is going be slow. This phone is brand new, however this is a concern coming from a Nexus with all the latest updates. I will be patient and happy for now, but the flasher in me and the ability to have full control over my own device is a little......sobering.

This phone has LOKI, which means business as usual for custom ROMs and kernels.
Locked bootloader means nothing at this point, except bragging rights for saying they got it unlocked (if they unlock it, which I think will happen someday, but make no mistake this is not stopping development)

garwynn! Good to see you're planning to pick up a G2. I made the move from our beloved E4GT to the G2 myself, but also moved to AT&T. I finally had enough of Sprint's data network being so far behind.
<--- JayWill from the AC forums.
Seems Sprint phones get a lot of dev support, maybe when it's released on Sprint it will pick up.
CM/AOSP bring up is already in progress. I don't foresee anything being particularly difficult to get a basic CM build up and going in pretty short order. I'll be getting the Verizon version later today but won't have time to really start helping until next week.

Do you know the main PIC of that effort? Even if I have to hold off on getting it I'm more than willing to do whatever I can to help Sprint users. We always seem to need a little love on devices..

Hey! Nice to see you around! Reminds me, I really need to update my AC links.
I'm lucky being here in Chicago for Sprint, the G2 and Nexus 5 should be in prime shape to take advantage of Tri-band LTE. I'm not feeling the love from Samsung and I know I need the Nexus 5 for AOSP projects. Maybe I'll wait and see if someone sells a G2 over the holidays.

I have 2 more weeks to return the phone... The phone it's great ( price, build quality , screen resolution ... Battery life got way better Whit time and some apps disable) but it looks like ZTE will never release the factory images for us to play Whit the phone as we like on a way would hate to return it back....
So its that's the case I don't see any other phone worth buying now but going back to the nexus 6p since the upcoming nexus by htc looks more like a downgrade [emoji29] ...
Would you guys consider a downgrade going back to the. 6p ? I saw them at 399 the 64 gigs on Amazon last weeks and I think I should of got it at that price ?
Sent from my ZTE A2017U using XDA-Developers mobile app
I know there is a new big update coming (base on comments and reply from ZTE Community) and this update may bring the factory image we want, that's the only reason i see why they haven't release a factory image for us to play with, beside CM 13.1 is just days away or less.
Thank you for the fast respond... I see you very active on these community don't know if ur a developer but looks like u have tons of knowledge regarding Android system ... U mean some one it's already working on CM 13.1 wow that would be pretty fast, honestly I would prefer something more stable and less ? drainer like the nexus pure project , it would be hard to port it probably ... I wouldn't even main if it's the stock Rom just polished Whit some tweaks and heavy debloat it oh well will wait those 2 weeks and go from there I really like these phone!

Return it is my advice. Never get a phone based on possible "future" features or upgrades. Don't get stuck with a phone you hate because of wishful thinking that didn't pan out. I been down that path and it's a waste of time.
I have also my concerns with that phone. If we don't have prospect of custom ROMs based on CM or AOSP it is quite useless (for me).
Unfortunately there is not much development going on until now... maybe it's getting better as soon as the deives are everywhere available but maybe not, who knows....
fact is everything is going slow in comparison to other devices mainly caused by ZTE itself
Its going back tomorrow ?

Slow? The phone has only been out a month and limited at that. We've already got root. You haven't had a phone on day one much have you? This is fast compared to other non Nexus devices.

If you look at the previous gen Axon http://forum.xda-developers.com/zte-axon, mirrors this forum.
You have root, twrp but no custom roms. Keep this device for it's current list of features that's what you get for a $400 phone. You want custom rom, then Nexus 6P or OP3 will have plenty of custom roms to choose from.

im in the same boat but reversed. i just bought the 6p from bestbuy a week ago. its ok but the battery life on 7.0 is subpar and the lcd is pretty bad. the axon 7 looks to offer more bang for the buck. im contemplating exchanging mine today for the grey axon i see is in stock. custom roms will come in time, you have root and an unlocked bootloader.
Edit: just bought the grey axon. reset my 6p and ill be at best buy at 11am.

congrats on settling in. I'm sure you made the correct decision. I'm at your decision-making point regarding my OnePlus One. I've owned a ZTE desktop for 5 years, their customer (based on one call) was excellent. (toll-free 24/7 Lifetime). Maybe different for cellular. I'm sure you will give your impression and I'll look forward to them.
I assume they're immediately available at BestBuy?

sadly i returned mine today and got a 4gb ram model g4+. i loved the axon's look and feel but the software is junk and i had nothing but issues with overheating and random reboots, loosing wifi and iemi. ive learned a valuable lesson. only buy phones with stock android.

ROM thread
so, I've built a buggy cm14 that's good enough to look at and play a little with the features that do work, and watch the eye candy and all.
it has wifi and bluetooth and SMS messaging.
Otherwise broken telephony.
only some of the sound works. no camera, nfc, location.
the idea is a poll.
I figure people like to click buttons, so the poll suits that.
I'm amazed at your skills. And I have learned a lot from reading this thread. More importantly, my VM 816 is still functional.

A lot of what I do is googling errors, borrowing commits from other cm devices with similar chipsets, (and commenting out lines that throw errors in the build until I figure out workarounds... not the most kosher of methods.)
It's fun, but I often lean heavily on stuff that's already been done by others. Grarak put up really nice device trees to work from on this device for example, and my first tweaks at it were just after it had faded from cm nightlies. Made it comparatively easy next to my Optimus or Evo3d.

Odds are the basic call services will be online way before 4G. Especially since my 4G service is still broken and has ben for quite a while. I'll hassle Virgin Mobile about a replacement sim card soon; research and talking with a Ting rep both imply that would fix my issue.

Well, htc certainly won't be releasing N for my a5_chl (Virgin Mobile variant) since they wouldn't even let M out the door for it.
you can partly name lack of manufacturer support.
And I get tired of complaints about nonworking items from people who don't read the OP, so I'm waiting for adequate interest to post it (big upload on poor isp, couple hours.)
Plus there's inability to test dug/dwg and that's twice the upload bandwidth. But few source changes to build for them, and some dual sim owners would enjoy buggy N too.
Several reasons that N isn't out in the wild yet for the a5. But I'll probably set it free to roam soon.
Question about CM14
When you let it roam, I'm ready to try it out. But I have two questions. First, I am delighted with CM13. It was the first time I ever flashed a phone and it is working nearly perfect. A hiccup or two but nothing I cannot handle. It has extended the useful life of my VM 816 A5 and saved me from buying another phone. Here's two questions for CM14 whenever it becomes available. Can I just backup my existing files with TWRP, Wipe and flash CM14? Then, the real question is if I don't like it, can I completely restore what I have now with RESTORE? The last thing I want is to ruin CM13. Thanks for helping this newby.

The last thing I want is to ruin CM13. Thanks for helping this newby.

yes, and yes. I restore cm13 over messed up cm14 regularly.
Still fighting with ril. location not working at all in spite of the switch working. and nfc probably will work once I get the firmware moved to wherever it's looking. but all the sound seems to be working now.

When you let it roam, I'm ready to try it out. But I have two questions. First, I am delighted with CM13. It was the first time I ever flashed a phone and it is working nearly perfect.

Yes you can just Backup and Restore your previous ROM. Just be careful, wipe system and dalvik cache and cache. CM13 has some problems but mostly everything works on 816.

ninja'd you this time.
I've been able to dirty flash 14 over 13, but previously installed apps get denied permissions and stuff like that.

Yup you got me, I usually don't dirty flash always clean flash. Since I use Root Essentials as partition of sdcard. When ever you get it to work,I'll be a tester. Let me know.
That's something I can deal with. Just don't want to go too far past my limited "expertise". And, not trying to hurry things. I'm a happy CM13 customer.

so, I've built a buggy cm14 that's good enough to look at and play a little with the features that do work, and watch the eye candy and all.
it has wifi and bluetooth, possibly nfc, probably no location, totally broken telephony.
only some of the sound works. no camera.
the idea is a poll.
I figure people like to click buttons, so the poll suits that.
Read this post and you see that clicking the thanks button counts more than voting...

Its really not a good idea to ask for ETAs. Specially when not many things work.

It's ok in this thread, since that's kind of what it's about.
If I can stabilize the radio glitches enough that all the telephony stops force-closing constantly I'll release an alpha, there isn't tons of interest but there seems to be enough.
After all, if I were in your shoes I'd want a release to check out.

I sorta may get a flashing bug if you put up a alpha. I just thought I would put my 2 cents in about ETAs. Not a good thing sometimes.

A lot of developers get uppity about ETAs.
I imagine with hot new devices and hundreds of posts a week it would get really old.
I usually just warn people that I have too much on my 'real-world' plate for my own taste and that my hobby work (this) ends up on the bottom of my get-er-done list.
Plus I like to put up it's-almost-ready posts and then take forever to upload:angel: and similar annoying delayed releases. Like I rebuilt for the OV a little while ago, posted about it, and never debugged or released it at all.
Bad dev :cyclops:
I put this thread out in general 816 to encourage comments and questions.
Once the alpha is out I'll open a thread in Original Dev (and post a link to it here) since cm14 is definitely original right now.
About to flash another test build!
Test has sms but no phone.
No Bluetooth.
Close to being uploadable.
assuming the next build isn't in any worse shape than this one (should have working BT, and I'm really hoping for at least 3g data and maybe phone service) then I'll try pushing the zip to AFH. If my landline internet stays connected long enough to get it upstream...
Anyone know what the chances of AOSPA making an appearance on the V20?
AOSPA came and went. No longer under development. Unless somebody else takes over the project, not likely it will resurface.

Pretty hard for a beginner. It was pretty hard for me to build it too and I'm not a beginner.
This device is simply phenomenal but LG simply become like Samsung but LG not see their north yet lack of updates, bootlops, failure hardware etc same applies for others but LG no learn can`t imagine this device LG v20 GPE simply a beast plus stock camera on AOSP ROM!!!!!
Yes I know only was a dream

Do you have a link to that ROM? Also why did they stop development?

Ill see if I still have it. Dude moved onto the note 8.
Damn, thought I was getting a christmas gift. I wanted this for our phone too but it seems any other rom other than stock has some issues with the kernel.
https://github.com/PA-CAF
This is similar to AOSPA legacy as stated by the maintainer of the source I've built on it for the oneplus2 which which dident get offical N support its easier to build than regular AOSPA but the way lineage separated trees has complicated things... I'm going to try to get it going but I haven't really dealt with this conversion stuff before
Update while I've gotten it to build, a while back actually, it fails to boot something in the dalvik machine setting up boot it fails to register a method in an other file the full log found here:
https://hastebin.com/upeceyuhel.pl
I'm more of a kernel guy (pretty newish at it too ) so I have no idea how to fix this, so please chime in if you know something but ill ask for help in the building thread see if they can help. Just wanted to let you guys know some progress is being done on it. Im in classes so not much free time left over and with Oreo on the horizon for lineage, so this PA-CAF Nougat build feels a bit out of place especially since i stripped out a lot for it to build, I don't think that may affect the dalvik machine mostly ambient, double tap to wake, and a few customization features......
With all that said can I a show of hands (or thanks so the thread is kept clean) who is interested in this I have us996 so that will come first if I get it done (don't think it will be that hard as opposed to fixing the gestures and ambient displays stuffs) still no promises I'm used to building for myself with most the work is already done and me only adding a few things, but I wouldn't mind a challenge.

no I would work on it again but I've stepped back from compiling for a bit and it was also during the time oreo was on the horizon for the v20 so getting nougat AOSPA working felt like a waste of time
now pie is on the horizon and would like to see how it's going with PA-CAF on pie but lineage pie tree would need to become available for our device as idk how bring up to a new android version works
Good day. I'm a recent convert to OnePlus from LG. Learned the ins and outs of rooting and flashing on that device primarily through reading, and asking for help in the forums. Would anyone be willing to help by pointing me in the direction of info that would help me get started. Obviously I want to root and possible flash custom on this device at some point. Thanks.

Hey,
Welcome to the dark side
Here's my guide on the bootloader and root for Android 10
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-8-pro/how-to/guide-unlocking-bootloader-rooting-t4151823
If you're already on 11 then just use the bootloader guide and skip to the next guide below.
Here's also my guide on how to obtain a boot img, the software needed, how to extract it, how to upgrade whilst retaining root or how to root 11 directly, 2 methods..
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-8-pro/how-to/root-uk-eu-patched-magisk-boot-img-t4175033
If you have any questions, just ask away.
The OnePlus uses a two slot system..so if you're booted and you flash a boot img it'll go to the other slot.
There also no TWRP for Android 11 yet, but truth be told you simply don't need it..
My advice would be (if you want to unlock etc) is to get updated and rooted, then grab xXx NoLimits which is a magisk ROM.
Really appreciate your response! I'll do my best to not be a complete bother. I am pretty good at studying up before making attempts, but have been known to sound a bit frantic when I get into a perceived mess. Always appreciated the supportive ones in these forums. Peace!

No worries pal.
Read and create a structure in your head of what's going on.
If you're not sure then ask or eliminate the possibilities.

I just came from the Pixel line....took me a bit to get Verizon to properly activate my device but this thing is sweet. I am currently on the xXx NoLimits. The one thing I miss about Android 10 is being able to force fullscreen on certain apps of mine. I've done it for years for certain situations using a root app. Now it no longer works since they did away with the ability in A11. I did notice a "Apps to Display in Fullscreen" under Advanced in Display settings.....nothing there though. What's that all about?

Lol no idea mate, there is a thread about it but not sure if it'll gain any traction.
The emulators I use all go full screen including the cutout.
Check out my centre clock mod in themes and apps..
Plus the energy ring for battery round the camera cutout..
Just looks better
