AOSP Fingerprint Reader problem - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

Hi guys, I've recently flashed AOSP extended onto my phone coming from Lineage OS and I've been having a problem with the fingerprint reader.
When I leave the phone off for more than 30s and then pick it up to unlock it, the fingerprint reader does not work. I try lifting my finger and putting it back down multiple times and with different fingers too, but it won't work until I turn my screen on.
If I turn off the phone and unlock it again in less than 30s, the fingerprint reader works.
Please help as to why this is happening, thank you!

You didn't Dirtyflash it did you, and what build of AEX?

I clean flashed it and it's the 20180330 so 30 March build. I heard that the 30 March build has better battery life but I can try updating if you want me to.

New touchscreen firmware!

Hi all,
as stated in the past days by oneplus, a new touch firmware has been released and will be in cluded in 5/15 cm12.1 nightly. this should (i hope so) resolve all the remaining touch issues that affects many opo
Here is the coomit: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/98287/
05/18: The touch firmware has been reverted to the old one because of battery drain caused by dt2w
sub.
Looks like working very good. Flashing Nightly and screen is more responsible ever sinde the failure occured. waitung für Lord Boefla or slimkat to include it
Tested and feeling much better

can you please test if two finger on the same X axys are now registered correctly? my opo is through the RMA process so i can't test
Certainly seems to be working for me. Typing fine, and x-axis multitouch is working great.

Yes, working fine for me.....
The question now is.... will be forever?
multi touch on mine phone on x axis is still jerking from time to time
sometimes it works normally, detects 2 fingers, then on the other hand detects one or none
will see how it will perform through the day, but since i made a clean flash, i doubt that it will be better...
I have the grounding issue with my ONE. No problems with higher temperatures though.
I flashes Franco Kernel r43 boot.img on my stock cm12s. Fo rme the issues are gone.
x-axis touching is working good. Swiping texts is finally possible again!
Thanks to synaptics!!
I will probably switch to cm12.1 nightlies again when I have some spare time left.
Any way this could be a flashable zip for all ROMs or is this something that is baked into the ROM/Kernel?

You can flash Franco's kernel below if you are on CM12s/CM12 (5.0.2). Or the alternative is to flash the 5/15 nightly (5.1) or wait for it to be rolled out OTA.

Nice! Thanks for the link. Flashing now.
I had only mild touchscreen issues so I'll see if it gets rid of them.
I've never had touch issues thus far, but I am a bit disappointed at the fix. Although I do notice a better touch response, the fix isn't a fix and is a workaround. PPPreferences has a huge battery drain (com.qualcomm.display) which basically, like I've seen written somewhere, means they're just keeping an app open to recalibrate the screen constantly.

Not for me. Nothing changed in terms of battery usage with today's nightly. Also it isn't even listed under Apps in the battery screen on my device.
This app is only used for post processing (Live Display) and has nothing to do with the new firmware.
I was suffering from pretty bad heat related issues, all gone now.
I just flashed Boeffla-Kernel for CM11s. I can definitely tell a difference. There was one app that I could make it jump when swiping up or down and holding it toward the bottom-middle of the screen, no longer have that issue. I also constantly had trouble with it "clicking" things when all I wanted to do was scroll up or down on something. Have not had that issue since flashing.

Hmm that's pretty interesting then, but I don't seem to be the only one reporting a difference in the CPU time of something which includes the Qualcomm services. We'll see with more usage though.
Do you need root to install?

Yes, until it gets pushed officially, as you need to either flash a custom kernel or the latest nightly.

Fingerprint accuricy

Hi.
Ever since I own the S7 Edge I'm facing a strange behavior with the fingerprint scanner.
I used all slots for fingerprints. Every slot for a separate finger.
Now the precision of the recognition is fine only for a few days, then I'm facing the same problem. An error-prone. With increased regularity I have try 2-3... times to unlock the device with my finger (most of the time I use the thumb).
After deleting and imputing the fingerprints again it works fine again for a few days. Till next time.
I already flashed another stock ROM for another reason but it didn't change the behavior.
Anyone facing the same problem?
Best. Misspelling. Ever.
Gotta agree, fingerprint lockscreen worked flawlessly first few days, but ever since I'm finding it more and more difficult to unlock the phone. Weird.

Only thing I can think of is the basics. Make sure you're on the latest firmware for your device (use Samsung's Smart Switch software to install the latest factor rom, if available in your country). Also, some people have reported improved fingerprint accuracy by enabling Good Lock.

I'm already on the latest German multi-rom. As I said noticed the problem before flashing this ROM to my 935FD.
I installed Good Lock a few weeks ago but had several problems like the color settings eg. Maybe I'll give it a try
in later versions. Also I don't use TW I like Google Now Launcher the best.
Hm. But it seems I'm not the only one. So maybe there will be a fix in further updates.
I read in another thread that the APD1 update really messed up fingerprint recognition accuracy. Could this be the issue ?

Nope.
This issue was already present on my device with Feb firware as i got it. But yes I read this, too.
Has always worked fine for me. The only time it has trouble is if my hands/fingers are dirty.
APD1 did not mess up mine (Rooted & Xposed 935FD Stock ROM) - works waaaaaayyyyy better than my S6E
I switched from the S5 to the S7 Edge (Exynos). I've always loved the fingerprint reader in the S5. There always seemed to be someone in the IT media complaining about how poor it was, but that just never seemed to be the case for me - custom rom or stock.
I have to admit that from day 1, I've struggled with the S7. With my S5, I had a fingerprint saved for my right hand thumb, right hand thumb while holding the phone with one hand, right forefinger and also left forefinger and thumb.
With my S7, I've had to use all of the slots for my thumb and although it improves a bit with the more fingerprints I've stored, I don't find it as successful as the S5.
I haven't done any testing with both devices side by side, but only a few times a day would the S5 give me problems. I feel with the S7 that it's lucky if I get in first time. Several times a day, I have to type the PIN backup.
I initially thought that it might be just getting used to the larger device. I'm not sure. I think I'll re-do all of mine and see if I can get a better recording.
I will say that when it works, it's a LOT faster than the S5, but I'm not that concerned. I'd rather have a reliable scan that takes a bit longer to unlock, than a fast unlock rarely recognises my prints!!!
FYI, this was true before the APD1 update and also now that I'm on that version.
After updating to APD1 I had problems with finger reader. Factory reset seems to solve my problem. Now its working much better with just one finger added,instead of 4.

Flashed the latest Mokee ROM (March 10th version). WOW does it work so well! Other than lack of fingerprint sensor (which I don't use), I've never seen such a stable AOSP ROM as this! Also it comes with working kernel and TWRP recovery! I've already placed SuperSU and Viper4Android and my phone is kicking real hard! Camera is basic but works beautifully, and it reads my 128GB MicroSD card as well.
Really impressed.
Since the new nightly came out, you might give it another try for E6853? It seems to accept single sim model as well, and hopefully that night build resolved not all but some issues?

I can't flash it on my E6833, says device is not compatible during the install , also errors about E: not mounted.
version I used is MK71.2-satsuki-201704211533-NIGHTLY Model : E6853
First link is the picture with the default app.
the other two are screenshots of the default app open
Video also works EDIT:2 (Bug using the Volume keys to Zoom freezes the picture while recording, the recorded video also has this frozen picture) zooming with finger is still ok and working.

Over all this rom is solid. runs extremely fast in comparison to stock, Games load crazy fast, I don't even see the loading screen on one of them anymore.
Google apps are all working
Wifi and mobile data are working
fingerprint reader is working
all standard AOSP features look like they're working normally, I've not had any FCs or problems since last night when i flashed it.
it is missing some features or i'm not sure where to activate them, like the split screen feature of Android 7 .... maybe its not in the AOSP roms yet, or it was taken out as a useless feature.
But over all, very snappy rom. very stable, except for the aforementioned bug in the video recorder, this is my new daily driver i think. a bit more testing and observation but i think Mokee has a winner there.
................................................ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> .........................................................
Final Edit.
A few days later
stable. solid. quite simply one of the best open source roms ive used.
faster than stock in every way. has built in root, built in privacy controls, best battery management ive ever seen in a phone.
options for this i thought should have been standard in android already.
like reversing the volume keys in landscape mode.
per app. notification management
DPI setting
much much better app loading. still cant get over how fast my games load.
but ... there is always a but.
the camera after alot more testing, just ain't the same. its a fine camera app. and it works well. as solid as the rest of the rom. but the over all quality when compared​ to my older photos of things I took in the same light conditions, sony stock with post processing just kills it.
gonna go back to custom debloated stock once Xposed is updated for 7.
ill keep an eye on mokee roms though, except that camera. the rom is just amazing. once a top quality decent camera is made that works for this rom. it will easily be the best rom made for this phone.
Post 12 is positive, does anyone have any news about the full functioning of the Rom on the E6853?
Can any one post some screen shots!?

PUBG Mobile on essential

Has anyone else here played this game on the essential phone? I have a couple of strange glitches. I initially thought they were associated to my original faulty device, but after receiving my warranty replacement that is not faulty the same issues still persist on PUBG Mobile. So I am assuming it's something with this phone in general.
First glitch is some artifacting during the loading screen on the notch end of the phone. I am assuming this is because of the screen resizing to accommodate for the notch. It seems like it starts to attempt to resize the screen a few times in a row every once in a while resulting in what looks like some screen glitching. I've noticed this in other apps while using them too like chrome and OfferUp. Looks like every once in a while the app suddenly attempts to resize back to full screen mode for a split second, then immediately shrinks back down again to cut out the notch area.
Other issue is while using both fingers on the screen at the same time. Moving while aiming for instance it will spin my character around a little bit.
Doesn't display any of this behavior on any other phones I've ever had. I already contacted the publisher of the game but Wondering if anyone else has these issues and knows a workaround.

So you still have the graphical glitches?
How do I get P?
Also is it possible to force games and other apps to utilize the full screen pace around the notch? As much as I don't like apple I do notice in YouTube videos that it does fully utilize the notch area on the iPhone X.
Alright nevermind found the settings in developer options from YouTube video to force all apps to use the notch area.

Yes! God, I thought I was the only one with the multi touch issue..but I'm too lazy and stupid to get P so I suppose I'm out of luck.
There's a fix for the multi touch glitch bug. It's a magisk module called "Pixel 8.1 multi-touch fix".
Let me warn you, DO NOT install it if you are on the stock essential ROM, because it will fail to boot. It is only safe on AOSP based ROMs. I can only vouch for myself that it works flawlessly with lineage. If you are on stock ROM you'll have to wait until essential releases a fix.
I just read up on it a little. Apparently it's an issue with all phones running 8.1.0 Oreo witch I did not know. My original essential PH1 was faulty, kept crashing and rebooting so I thought this was part of the faulty device.
Looks like they plan to release a fix in June security update.

I'd be in for it! RR is the only ROM that I used long-time on any of my phone's. Usually I'd just switch between like. Bliss, LOS, PE, Havoc and such as they all have things I don't like or miss and RR was the one ROM that had it all...
If you need testers with a EU 8 Pro (IN2023) i'd be up for that!

RR has added 100s more options. They have integrated a fully customizable theme also. Like fully transparent, pure black/white, changing icons, colors, fonts, navbar buttons, etc. I left havoc for RR and will never go back.
So, as of right now, this project is being abandoned by the dev I was working with and myself. We had too many build errors. We need a proper repo from Lineage which is not available.
Stay tuned.......
We are more than likely going to have it have the rom forced to 60hz but it's still a work in process on the build side. We have it 65%+ successful build.
Good to hear!
Just leave this right here
Btw, I am NOT the dev responsible for this
Ladies and gentlemen. 120hz works fine. Actually the only bug is fingerprint and adding 60hz and 90hz(work in progress).

Wouldn't bother with 60hz just add FHD as a switch from QHD as QHD can cause issues with battery depletion and green tint along with other things.
120hz is preferred by 99% of users anyway.

Neither do I have any of the other reported issues or the green tint, but myself and yourself are two people
If a developer is going to release a ROM then they should take others into account.
Or is all this work just for yourself? That's not what XDA is really about is it?
QHD will burn your battery down faster than FHD and the difference is minimal, that will affect you too.
Your call.
