How to preserve A7 with better software? - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

Hi all long time xda member since mytouch 4g days and have owned and modded everything Samsung phone since the note 2. So now moving along, I'm now a A2017u owner with bad boys Rom. Actually I've been stuck on it since it was released. I wanna download los but I'm worried about losing the Dolby Atmos, Dac and the ability to use the the internet while on a call. What los rom can I download that. Can help me keep that? I know about Devine beats but is it really as good? Also I just can't do the whole magisk thing. It just doesn't work for me. Just going I can flash files and get a nice stock system while preserving the perfect audio going. Also I have the phone working with Verizon and world like to know how to make calls and surf the net at the same time.
Thanks for all.

We're in April, I hope the Oreo Update will fully benefit the potential of our DACs.

Stock software rather than custom ROM?

Basically every custom ROM has that xd. Nougat and Oreo. I don't get why you say you can't get Magisk going? Have you tried a custom ROM at least?
Basically you have to format data, flash bootloader and modem (or bootstack), flash the ROM, Gapps, Magisk. Once you have all that installed just reboot and install the Dolby Atmos magisk module, or if you are on Oreo there's a flashable zip with the newest Atmos zip.
Though I don't know why you would use Atmos on headphones? The real deal is Viper4Android since it doesn't add a crapton of noise...

Thanks all for all the replies, info and suggestions. I was simply not aware of the things mentioned to me so looking into it. I also left out the "does the finger print reader work on these roms" question and would also like to know if you can suggest what roms currently work for you. I wanted to try the dark themed rom. What do you guys think of that one? Thanks again guys!

of course the fp sensor does. You know, there's a list of broken stuff on every ROM thread, you don't need us to figure what thing works and what doesn't. And for theming a ROM you can use Substratum, though AEX 5.3 (the Oreo one) has a theme engine that themes the UI (not apps)

Wow bro, thanks.

I've been running WETA and so far its running great. It has an aroma installer that lets you install the mods that you want and leave off the ones you don't so you can keep it close to stock.

And this.
I prefer running using Magisk v6 with the viper4 addon but Numbers is excellent as well, just waiting for WETA to support Magisk a little more cleanly before I head back to it. But if you don't use Android Pay or similar or for some other reason care about Magisk then WETA will get you up and running REALLY quickly with a great Nougat build. And it works fine with Magisk to a great extent, just a couple minor picayunes that I'm hoping will go away with time.:good:
Arise is basically Viper with Dolby Atmos. Tbh Viper is too much for me, as long as Dolby is working on stock N that has enough of an effect ,'m good to go But if you look back in the Arise thread, maybe back a week or so, i made a post saying that I finally got Viper/Dolby including SPEAKER See Speaker was something I was struggling to get to work on stock N with things like Spotify, play music, YouTube, even notifications, and some other things... basically every sound that comes out of the speakers except phone calls, unless it was via Bluetooth. Bluetooth was working overall, headphones were working overall and I even somehow found out locally stored music was working with speaker, but not those other things I had previously mentioned, was so weird. And of course it made it even more confusing bec some N users were saying it was fully working and others were in my situation.
That was until I found a post by user @SixFourSix he said to add/edit this certain file in system/etc . I went ahead and did that and after weeks of struggling, I had finally figured it out thanks to his tip. Everything was working with Viper and Atmos, those things I mentioned, except for one thing, phone calls, with Bluetooth I'm pretty sure it has an effect, but anything else with calls, for some reason, no. Don't know why. And I hadn't seen anyone comment on why. Maybe Arise isn't supposed to do that.
Yeah so go back to my posts in the Arise thread if you'd like, you'll see exactly what I mean.
Good luck

I'm trying to get Viper to work with Magisk,
I tried the zip from the magisk modules thread but it's asking me to install drivers at launch (which I didn't). Also tried selinux to permissive and force v4a, but didn't get it to process the audio. I also freezed music fx, but still wasn't getting anything.
I was running a song from SoundCloud to see if v4a was working
How did you manage to make it work with Magisk

which Nexus 6P ROMs include Viper4Android?

Just like the title says, which Nexus 6P ROMs include viper4android? I have had to much trouble trying to install it on to many different ROMs already, so I'm done with that.
So far I know Dirty Unicorns has a zip they reference and V4a works fine using the zip. Which other ROMs have you used which include Viper4Android or have a stupid easy way to install it? thank you very much!

WETA ROM has it built in. The ARISE mod that the previous response suggested you flash without linking to the forum has some of the same issues as regular V4A. Try V2.5.0.5 - worked well for me.

on which ROM, WETA Audio ROM? cuz that one includes V4a already, so wouldn't be a need to flash.
As mentioned above, just flash WETA rom.
It comes with an aroma installer and you can select various combinations of audio mods.
I'm currently using it on my device WETA 8.T and its rock stable and sounds amazing

No. If you want it built into the WETA ROM, then just install it. If you want to try an older version of V4A, then I'd recommend 2.5.0.5. With V4A, you also have to take a few steps to ensure you're permissive (at least in my case) and you do a few other things.
are you sure to installed it correctly? you know its different for the nexus 6p right? you gotta delete the audio effect.conf file after you install the driver

Yes. Go to system/vendor/etc (Im pretty sure) &: delete audio effects file. Think thats where your struggle lies.
On the other hand, WETA is a pretty solid rom. I was using it for awhile.

OxygenOS vs. LineageOS

I know that the OnePlus 1 (originally) came with Cyanogenmod but then Cyanogenmod shut down, branching into LineageOS and OnePlus made OxygenOS. However, I don't know which features LineageOS has that OxygenOS doesn't and what LineageOS doesn't have that OxygenOS has. I'm not sure if I should switch from OxygenOS to LineageOS. Could anyone tell me the pros and cons of each and their recommendation?

I prefer the customisation and feel of aosp, it's just my preference, there is no best rom or OS, the problem for me and many more with aosp and Los is the inability to use the camera as expected.
Fusion is probably the best rom as in non OOS but has the camera from it which works nearly perfect
Your best bet is to use stock OOS long enough to get a good feel for it then make a nandroid backup and flash Lineage. That way you can decide for yourself and it just takes a few minutes to go back to OOS if you decide you like it better than Lineage. I've tried a number of custom ROMs but haven't found one I liked better than OOS + Blu Spark yet. A lot of people like Pure Fusion but I couldn't get even a decent phone signal with that ROM. It seems to be incompatible with my phone carrier.
How is the OOS-camera-app with AOSP-roms?
I see there is magisk-modules for custom roms you can flash via TWRP.
Is the the same quality compere to OOS?

Imho, nothing compares to oos stock camera, not even the modified Google camera. It's coming along but I was using it on lineage for a few days and felt the picture quality was definitely lacking.
As for the OP, the best advice has been given, play with OOS, tweak it to your liking and then back it up and go try it with lineage. I went back to OOS From lineage because lineage is still very new for our device and it has flaws that I didn't want to deal with on my daily driver. In time, I'm 99% certain I will jump to lineage because I think it's great; but for now on my op5 it's oos plus blu-spark.
(Plus I'm hoping @eng.stk will make a LOS kernel (don't kill me man lol))

Don't want to go OT, buty blu_spark custom is fully compatible with LOS ( I even merged in r36 the swap key keycode from LOS that was missing ).
LOS is where I usually test my custom stuff.

If you wanted the OOS camera, you could use an APK Extractor and back up the APK and install it after installing a custom ROM.

Feel free to use the search button on my thread.
I am a long time custom ROM flashoholic, and had custom ROMs on every phone I could.
OOS is the first stock OS that satisfies my needs for customization, features and the lack of bloat.
I recommend using stock with Magisk, as you pretty much have all the features from OOS and all the possibilities from a custom ROM.
The only thing lacking for me is the "long volume press skip track" feature, but I have that on my headphones (just not on the phone itself).
Benefit is that you still can receive updates (just reflash Magisk) and camera quality stays.
I cant really give any valid reason for switching to a custom OS besides dropped mainstream support, and I think that shouldnt happen for at least 2-3 more years. (In which time you will probably get a new phone )
In short: LOS is more up to date, and better battery life but slower app openings, and maybe more bugs (i didn't notice any yet)

Doesn't work quite like that, when you extract the camera and try to use it outside oos, it fails; unless someone has a find a way to do it.

No, you can make Apks that depend on device specific framework libraries. They'll only work if the libraries are there.
Now you can copy framework libraries, but in the OOS camera case, you also need modifications to the kernel and to Android to make it work.
In short, your ROM has to support it.
The only ROM I know that kinda support the OOS cam is PureFusion. And even, the smile capture and a few other minor things still do not work.

As mentioned, APKs may depend on specific libraries or frameworks. Some apps don't need specific libraries or frameworks. OOS Camera does. Try extracting the APK and install it on your Fire.

G5 plus PIE custom ROMs - really an upgrade?

Of late, I have been going back and forth of G5 plus stock ROM and many of the custom PIE roms and have immediately noticed that the sound quality in the stock is so much clear and crisp. All the custom ROMs claim to use the Oreo firmware. My question is that is not the sound/volume setup not part of the firmware? If so, why is there a significant difference in the PIE versus stock ROM? Can anybody please help me understand what I am missing?
Well most of the custom roms have a bit of a volume boost on headphones. Didn't really check the speaker. The sound is also affected by the kernel sometimes as some kernels do have sound tweaks. If you are on a custom rom then you should definitely try viper4android. It's available as a magisk module or you can get a flashable zip too. You can tweak the sound in a way you like. It offers a lot of customisations.

I installed viper4android with the Pixel Experience Pie ROM and when I tried to use it kept telling me that Busy Box was required and wouldn't run. The problem is I had Busy Box installed. So I had to give up on viper4android. Not really an issue since I rarely listen to music on my phone. But it was rather odd.

Thanks for the info. Is there a list of default sound profiles that exists somewhere I can choose from, to import into the viper4android? I am basically looking to have the same sound clarity and quality as the stock.

I just switched from OOS 10 to PiXeN OS, because of notification issues. Everything is working great now..... But I don't like the Pixel Launcher and tried running OP Launcher with Quickswitch and it wasn't adapting to the dark mode and it was glitching.... Kept going back to defaults layout after I restored it with my backup.
If I could get OP Launcher working.... It would be great.
Was able to learn how to get the OP Launcher in PiXeN OS. The latest patchable version QuickSwitch is able to patch is version OnePlus Launcher 4.4.8. Its stable and it has Google Feeds automatically. So far its stable and everything is working as it should....... Cant ask for more, Stable custom rom with stock OP camera, gallery and now OP launcher.
I've been using Bliss Rom for about a week and i'm pretty happy with it.
It has the OOS Cam as well as GCam, and both work well.

I flashed Pixen yesterday and op launcher didn't work for me. The only reason I did it was because I had read that it worked. Wiped and went back to stock. If only I had saw this first!
And away we go again lol. Round 2.are you using latest quickswitch and is that a modded apk for launcher or can I get it from apkmirror?

I found the solution here on Telegram {Mod edit}.... The Shady Mods OP Launcher 4.5.9 works perfectly without having to patch it with QuickSwitch. I installed the QuickSwitch that was on the Magisk module search and it was v3.1.6. I always use Titanium Backup to make the switch between Roms easier. I only restore apps and not the system files... Some apps you still have to setup again, but the majority Titanium Backup restores the data specially for games.
Basically you install the Systemless_OPLauncher-v3.0.zip with Magisk and use QuickSwitch to set OP Launcher as default (Select No when it ask to patch). Done. Works perfectly. I am on the latest OP Launcher. No issues and was able to restore my layout with my OOS backup. If you have a backup from OOS of your OP Launcher, you can use it to restore the launcher layout. You just unzip the net.oneplus.launcher.tar on the opbackup folder and copy it to the root /data/ data

And away we go again lol. Round 2.are you using latest quickswitch and is that a modded apk for launcher or can I get it from apkmirror?

I did try those steps and everything worked perfectly. However after I did that, I stumbled upon this regularly maintained 7t port. Currently based on 7t open beta 16.
Going with this instead. Pixen is an amazing ROM, but I just prefer stock oxygen with root.

I was going to give it a try and then he just posted that he was leaving to India and was not going to be providing anymore updates. All ROMs will be dead. He is not completely sure, but I still accessing the risk. Don't want to switch to a Rom that won't be updated.

Give it a shot. I've been using it for the last 3 builds. From what I've seen in the 3 months I've used it, he says this often because people ask about 6t updates. There's usually only one when a 7t beta is released. Other than that there are none in between. But he has explained that his script he runs, builds all of his ROMs in less than a minute so he was going to continue updating.

About notifications, I couldn't figure out what you guys were talking about because I never had this problem. I had forgotten that I wasn't on stock 6t ROM.
So it's possible that this port doesn't have the issue because I get all notifications.

Thanks for all the information. I will wait and see if he does keep updating it. He said he has too many things going and I think their may be a possibility he could stop. I am just going to see if he keeps supporting it.
Any bugs that you have notice with the Rom port?

Not a single bug so far. In 3 months. The only thing is that you get the internal device error when you start up which is not an issue. And you get all the features of the 7t and 8Pro.

PiXeN is really stable. Had only two strange thing happen. One was while I was on a call and could not access anything while on the call screen..... Basically I was stuck. It hasn't happened again. I also did notice the camera lag opening.... But not sure if it was due to the Rom being recently install.
Both issues have not been duplicated. The big benefit for me was, being able to use the OP Launcher and being able to transfer my launcher layout. Battery life is very close to stock and performance is very fluid.
From reading the OP 7T Port Beta 16 in Telegram.... There seems to be people having some issues with the ROM. Didn't read much, but it seems not to be as stable as PiXeN. For now will stick with PiXeN... Already getting use to swipping to the side gesture to go back.... I was used to swipping up at the bottom corner to go back. I did have to adjust the area where the side back gesture was, because some menus you side gesture to bring menu out. So I moved it to the lower side.

Well im going to try it out. I didn't really even set it up up so I didn't give it any real chance. But I'm going to flash it now and see. Just in case he does drop maintaining that port. I'll be ahead of the game. Lol.
Might be time for an upgrade.

I know many users in the OnePlus 6T Telegram group are using PiXeN and have confirmed it to very good and stable. So far it has been true. Plus Gapps, TWRP are preinstalled. It also passes all the safetynet securities in magisk without having to install any magisk modules like I had to do when I rooted stock oos.

Hmm, courious to know what modules were/are needed on a stock rom in order too pass safety net , was it something in order to pass a banking app ect...
As I am currently rooted (lastest version) , exposed installed for a few things, g-pay and banking apps working fine without and modules or scripts..all on a stock rom and kernel..
Can get 8 to 10 hrs. sot and make it through the day without a charge.. though I don't play games... Battery pic is a bit off as I had a lazy day and slept in yesterday ..
