The best rom/kernel for the batery life ? - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

Yo i search the best rom and kernel for the G model

Not really sure man. I think its up to you to test them out and see which one gives you the best battery performance for your needs.

Can you confirm that this is working? I've been wanting to use a black substratum theme for ages, but until now I didn't dare to, since substratum doesn't officially support LineageOS as far as I know. On top of that I read a couple of comments of people having issues

You're right, but I meant LineageOS as in an LOS-based ROM more than LOS itself. Most custom ROMs run better than LOS and have a bunch of features.
You may know that Substratum uses "OMS" to do the overlay stuff, so if you want a ROM with full substratum compatibility, it's as easy as finding one with the necessary commits, like NucleaROM or RR (I prefer NucleaROM over all of the other LOS-based ROMs to be honest). Just look at the description of the ROM for 'oms support'. Or you can try, I'm sure that I used Substratum on LineageOS stock for some time and I was getting 7 hrs SOT with heavy usage

Alright, so thats how it is. But you say you had it running on LOS? Did you experience issues, or why don't you have it running anymore? To be honest I would currently prefer not flashing a new rom, since I'm kinda dependent on my phone working right now and at the moment, it works mostly fine would still love to use a totally black substratum theme though

You have LOS on your phone though, right? If so, why don't you try? It's not like you have to flash anything so you can't brick your phone...
I think I used it on LOS yeah. But I prefer stock over custom ROMs by far. And now that the MiFavor 5 ROM is out (with the Android 7 QS tiles) I don't have any reason to use the buggy and laggy custom ROMs
I swear LOS was the worst of them all when I used it back in Feb/March. The worst thing was that a bunch of apps simply didn't feel like working...

Yes I do. Personally I don't feel like it's that bad so you think it's save to try it out?
Hmm so you feel like stock is better right now? I switched to LOS because I was kinda mad at the stock rom (at least the German one) since updates weren't coming at promised times and when they did come they were full of bugs like apps not working and more.... Which was mostly fixed afterwards, but I wasn't that happy with the situation. I also didn't like the look and feel, which now wouldn't be as much of a problem, since I'm using Nova + KLWP to change most of the visuals. Is the "Tiles-App" with more QS tiles working with stock now? It didn't when I went to LOS. How's battery life? What are your main reason to go back to stock?
And least but not last.... How would I get back to stock? Just flashing a zip from the ZTE website?
And another weird thing which didn't bother me too much until now: I bought my phone in Germany so I had the G model. Ever since going to LineageOS, which included unlocking the boot loader etc. My phone tells me /shows up as the U model.... Is that bad in any way? Other than that it seems to work alright though

-I like stock because it runs better, and even though I thought I would hate ZTE's UI, I actually like it after using it for a long time. And the 5.0 UI is awesome, nuff said. They use blur on the volume pop-up and when you pull down the status bar.
MiFavor 5.0 is not official, it's just the A2017 ROM that's been ported by the Russians. You need to install a special A2017 bootstack (it seemed really dangerous but it's not that bad really) and then the system zip, which formats /system anyways. After that you have to format /data (which will format the internal storage too, just saying) because of the encryption, and it should boot just fine.
I have an A2017G too and flipped out when they f00ked up with B02 with Google Play Store, then B03 with exfat, and went to LOS. Then i tried to go back and DFU-bricked my phone. After I fixed it I preferred to stay stock, and in B04 they fixed everything there was to fix. Tried NucleaROM, best so far but it still has that WIP feel...
Anyways, make a backup of your current system on an SD card if you want to go 5.0.
The A2017U thing is normal, it's because the universal bootloader is actually the U bootloader without the NON-HLOS.bin which you flash later via the A2017G-MODEM.zip (which is ancient lol)

Thank you again for your aid! I have another question....
I downloaded substratum now and installed some themes but somehow I can't get them to work...
For example "Flux" tells me everything went good and I need to restart, but nothing changes after the reboot...
Swift Black has some errors compiling :/
Any ideas?

I will thank you! You are awesome! So I can just flash that rom over LineageOS? Or do I have to wipe my phone first?

The best would be wiping everything, but you can try wiping system only. after that if the phone doesn't work well just wipe data

It seems to be that all the ROMs have bugs or are laggy. Stock is best right now if my research is correct.

Stock...
Edit* with a few things added and removed...

So I am running Nuclear Ron now, everything went smoothly and I've got Magisk installed correctly for root access. So far when I'm using the rom I love everything and substratum works well as well.....
But.... Whenever I turn of the screen it almost immediately reboots... when using my phone I don't get any random reboots, but when the screen is off it restarts every time. This is a real bummer and I keep my phone off most of the time right now, to prevent the reboots every minute :/
Any ideas what the reason for this issue could be? Would love to stay with this rom, but only if I can get this fixed!
I Uninstalled substratum and the substratum themes by the way, but that didn't help either...
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!!

I get phenomenal battery life and speed on NucleaROM. Stability is so-so, however.

Customise navigatiob bar w/o Custom ROM ?

Hi,
Is it possible to customise the navigation bar (get PIE controls, reduce the size) without changing ROM ?
Thanks.
why'd you wanna do that. you would need to take inferior stuff and dork around with hacks and exploits. if you go that route dont pride yourself running stock afterwards, it'll be a patchy mess, far away from a polished experience.
to some extend i can appreciate whats possible with hacks - but i wouldnt be able to cope with the patchyness of it.
but yeah, the pie thing is lmt. and the navbar thing is a mod you find on xda - you get to choose fixed sizes that you can flash. both is stone age compared to what you could do with integrated solutions.

I'm on stock rom, but rooted. I use HideBar: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=be.ppareit.hidebar . Works well on the phones with a navigation bar, but was originally written for tablets. The developer has recently received a Nexus 4, so we can expect some love for our phones.
Thanks for your replies, I guess I will have to install PA, I didn't want to install a custom ROM because flashing Gaaos with recovery after each PA update is very anoying (is it the same with CM ?), and also Stock version et the updates first !
How long it takes for PA and CM to add the stock updates to their ROMs please ?

It's strange because with my Motorola Defy, when I installed a new update of CM10, I never had to reinstall Gaaps, only the first time...
Reinstalling Gaaps after each updates of PA or CM is only because of the Nexus 4 ?
I think you get something wrong there. "Reinstalling" means literally one more tap in twrp or cwm. You dont have to set them up again, you just do that tap and its done. It has gapp backup, so not even that tap is needed, but not sure if its unlocked already.

Hyperdrive Rom for P-900...Works On Our T-900!

I flashed this yesterday, all seems fine so far. There is a known issue with system.ui force close, and is being investigated by dev. It happened to me a couple times after install, and hasn't happened again since. Seems very stable now that the rom has settled. The touch sensitivity in the aroma installer is a little stubborn, so be patient when selecting your options. Oh yeah, I have never seen so many options crammed in a rom in my life! Very entertaining. I love it! And as with all P-900 roms on our T-900, no rotation. (No big deal) here is the link to the op.

Oh, you just install it like your tab pro 12.2 T-900 was a note pro p-900, and thats it! You will lose screen rotation, but I never miss it. Just disable auto rotation after installation. There are play store apps that control rotation manually, on a per-app basis that work perfectly.
I choose the stock kernel, in the aroma installer, but if you like to over clock your devices I suggest bonuzzz kernel. I've used it and it is very stable with more governor options, and OC to 2.1Ghz(i think) I have never OC'ed this device tho. This rom has the best balance of performance and battery life, and has endless customization options. I really don't know why it hasn't caught on with T-900 users. I love it.

No... I did try flashing the boot.img from our latest stock release, (with flashify) but still no rotation. It seems to get better battery life with our stock kernel, but it may be in my head. (Placebo effect) I disable anything to do with s-pen in settings, just in case, but I'm not sure its necessary. It really does run beautifully. Great battery life, and no lag like on stock rom.

Yip! I know it sounds crazy! This is the first device I've ever heard of this working on. The only things that do not work are rotation, and vibrate. I flashed the Tab pro 12.2 kernel, trying to see if it would fix rotation, but it didn't. Vibrate works with our kernel tho.

no, well, I think there is a way to do it with odin, but, the easiest way is to install flashify to your device, open it and confirm root access when super user asks for it, then you can use flashify to install the boot.img right from your device. .... Now I can not provide support if the device explodes or any of those other things that could happen, but I personally have not had any problems with flashify. After it gets done it asks if you want to reboot, and just say yes and then you should be on our stock kernel. It worked for me 2 times, because I wanted to try the new CM12 that had theme support, Then themes didn't work on CM12 anyway, so I came back to hyperdrive, and flashed the stock kernel again. Oh and it reboots faster with the stock kernel too.
that screen rotation. .
Being broken is a deal breaker for me personally. Such a shame because that ROM looks fabulous

Resurrection Remix Official Support

I have been searching for updates on resurrection remix and found in the locked thread that the axon 7 has official support. Which can be found at the link below:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/resurrectionremix/files/axon7/
Can we have a thread back that follows this topic, making it easier for us to discuss everything in one place and follow along?

I agree. It was premature for them to track down the mods and request the thread closed if they weren't ready to post the new thread.
Beyond that the 4.16 build seems to be working pretty good for me.

Hola
Yes, the 05-16-2017 build is also working well for me. Unfortunately for me though I had to learn the hard way that a dirty flash wasn't going to work. Anyway, after factory resetting phone from TWRP v3.1, installing ROM, and then the latest GApps package, the phone works extremely well with all the bells and whistles that RR provides.
I didn't apply the LOS sound patch v4.1 as yet as I don't seem to have any major issues with sound. What about you folks?
It's still april on this side of the pond...
Able to turn off individual sim cards yet?
Please open thread for RR 5.8.3. so we can talk about it...
You can go to g+ or you can wait for the maintainer to start an official thread when his real life allows.
Also there is nothing wrong with stating an unofficial discussion thread like this one.

Yep, I found RR 5.8.3 a couple days ago and flashed it (only 3 days after making the switch to LOs). Was my go-to ROM on my Nexus 6P.
The newest RR seems to already have the sound patch, and is 100% Substratum compatible. Completely win-win for me! Very stable, too soon to determine battery life.
I flashed a version of Dolby, found in this thread: HERE - I didn't flash V4a this time around...The sound is REALLY good with the version of Dolby I flashed.
I'm so glad I found the new official RROS because it's such a good rom. I tried nuclear and no offense but RROS offers so much more while being just as stable with great battery life. On nuclear I could disable my secondary sim but it didn't have the ability to hide the non active network from the status bar. I also changed dpi but the font for network speed indicator stayed the same size and was cut off because of it.
RROS is the best rom I've used on the axon 7. Hope we get back a thread soon so newcomers can find links easily and so we won't have to discuss it here in the thread.

Swift Black. It costs like a dollar or something like that.
In the process of installing now. For some reason it found the stock format on the microsd 'corrupted' and wouldn't read unless I did a format (was formatted exfat, now fat32). Not a big deal. Backed up contents before switching. No exfat support?
Is there a way to disable the vibration when using the finger print reader?
Aside from that, it picked up both sim cards (freedompop lte) right away, even configured the apn's correctly.
Does it support wifi calling?

Rom sugestions?

Hi guys!
Is already have my OP5 since a month and using FreedomOS with Franco Kernel since the 2nd day I got it in my hand.
I am pretty happy in everything it brongs me both things, but I want to ask to people who has another custom ROM (xXx NoLimits, Resurrection Remix, ExperienceOS, etc) / Kernel on its device (I do not know a lot of kernels but I saw Franco and people (and his developer) told me some features and they hat reason is very smooth good and customizable with its own app.
So which Rom do you have? Magisk or SuperSu? Which Kernel is the best for you? :victory:
I want to get your personal opinion and your experience, I hope more people have the questions I did it and here we can help us each other with our opinion about using X rom X kernel and some more features that I can not put it here because I do not know if there are more things (my last Z5 I used mods and tweaks to make better performance but if you have a kernel like France you do not need this).
Thank you very much for your help :fingers-crossed:
I'm using xXx no limits and use the AKT (advanced kernel tweaks or so?) mod.
I don't know about the kernels but the ROM itself is my favorite.
It has an aroma installer (you pick which features you want before installing them) with many options.
You won't need to download gapps, magisk/ supersu and some stuff like xposed separately. It's very convenient.
Everything is smooth.
The stereo mod (using the earpiece as a speaker for music and videos) is something which is weird as it's used for something it wasn't meant to be used but still a very nice addition.
It's basically a faster stock OOS (oxygen OS) in a bundle with some root functionality added.
This shall be it for now. I hope that I could help you. Fell free to ask if you have any questions
I am using pure stock since I got this phone on the 4th of September and I have to say since then I stopped being a flasholic.
PureFusion because I've had the Nexus 6P and Pixel XL before this phone and ran PureNexus on those, and PureFusion is based on that. It's the only ROM that I feel provides just the right amount of features for me (not too much and not too less).
I'm using the stock kernel now because using custom kernels would introduce issues.
I did have the phone randomly reboot on Me 2 times so far but I can't say for sure that it's the ROM that is causing it.
Overall it's my favourite one out of the handful I have tried and I would definitely recommend it!!
Gonna go with stock as well. Stock kernel or Franco. Gotta say, better speed and battery than the other stuff out there. You gotta figure a whole company can do much better in software development than 1 guy or a team of 5 or 6 people.
Pure Fusion here too because its given me an extremely better battery life from the normal 3 hours SOT, i now get roughly 6 . Stock Kernel with the rom because it's just good for me all in all, maybe will try Franco sometime down the road because, i've been along time supporter. Magisk just because I don't need much except YouTube without ads, also can use Snapchat and other apps flawlessly! Good Luck!

I watched too Pure Fusion OS, but I need to know if I can install it jsut the Rom of do I need too one of the gapps that are they in the original post the gapps, bu I need to know how to install it?
Do I just make a clean install or i do a clean install and I install one of the gapps?
I must ask too, if I have unlocked the bootloeader, does that mean I have my mobile encrypted? Can I install Pure Fusion OS without problem?
What I normally do is wipe everything but internal memory, install room along with gapps I use open and it boots up! And you're all good to go !

It doesn't really matter. You can download open gapps or one for the others (forgot the names. Hehe).
You'll have to flash the ROM first and then the gapps file in the recovery. That's it.
But beware. Playing with your phones software doesn't come without risks. Read a lot about what you have to do and preferably try it on a phone to practice before doing it on your normal phone.
It can break your phone and I don't think that you can/ want to buy a new one. I had bricked my first phone a week after getting into root and custom ROMs.
The problems after that have driven me crazy but I was going to buy a new phone anyway.
LPT: If you want to flash something, wait for stable releases as long as you're inexperienced. Wait till others have tried that and then flash it. That way, you'll avoid some of the problems that you would struggle for a long time to fix.
And don't forget this. Keep an eye on the forums to see what problems people are reporting of and how to solve or avoid them in the first place.
Hope I could help

Arm 64/ 7.1 / And then you can choose which you like i don't need everything from Google so i'm sure what to select and as the previous post it has a stable and beta build PERSONALLY i'm using the beta and no problems at all! Any other questions feel free to ask!
This is an age old question..
You need to ask yourself not us.
What is your favourite car ? Mines a McLaren or a nismo, or a s2000 or robocops car.
You may disagree..
So what do you like, flash a bunch and see for yourself..
Bare in mind these threads usually get closed.
I'm using pure fusion and love it.

I have come to the conclusion on which custom Rom is best for the Note 4

Since buying this Sprint Note 4 I have tried 4 different custom ROM. 1 touch-wiz, and 3 AOSP. My opinion Detux Corp Rom v9.0-Zelfania'sLove is the absolute best in terms of looks, stability, customizing and response. This along with BeastMode-r61-UN7 kernel makes it a perfect combination for a phone that is now 6 yrs old.. . I did have a few issue, during the first few installs, as I have not dealt with a Touch-whiz ROM in a few yrs. Every thing about this Rom is superb. With plenty of customizing, and tweaking, you really do not need to add anything else to make this Rom stand out over the others.. One issue I did have was with viper4Android. With the option to install in Aroma, after installing it would not work like it was suppose to. It would never process or change any aspect of audio that I choose.. Once I Re did the Rom again, after trying a few AOSP, I downloaded the Viper4Android APK separate, along with the preinstalled busybox, it works flawless. Also it was very lagging, and would often be impossible to get it to to anything until it finally settled, but was worth the wait.. Right now nothing of note, is wrong not even Bluetooth, which seems to be a big issue on AOSP ROMS. Even with help on how to correct Bluetooth issue, it would still persist and never work correctly..
Just purchased two ZeroLemon batteries for my Note 4. The original works just fine, but wanted to have extra, for when this thing actually dies.. Of course I will swap out batteries at least once a month, and always have one fully charged and ready to replace, when I'm either at work or out and about.. I did purchase a new original Samsung battery, that was still in it's original box off of Ebay. But when it came, and I charged it and installed it in the phone. The phone would immediately shut off or just reboot.. Battery Man date was Mid 2017, but is defective. So went looking at alternatives, and settled on ZeroLemon as they have a good reputation.. Plus both with free shipping was $30 from their site.. Most aftermarket batteries, you can seem to only buy via Amazon or Ebay.. This is the route I did not want to go, so I'm glade I went to ZeroLemon..

I agree, Dtux rom is the best of the best on Sprint Note 4 MM.

I didn't expect this to work with 6.0 mm but OMG! Nugut on MM, no way !!! but it did, WoW.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays Doubledragon5

Check this out
5DQ15 bootloader and Modem running on a Lollipop custom rom, system root and Samsung theming full functioning as it should.
Cons= camera is blurted but I'll see if I can port or modify the files. Perhaps flash the modified r61/r56 Marshmallow kernel. Experimentation and observation.
Check out SuperSu Pro V2.52
I kept having issues with BusyBox. I finally found where it was pre-installed but it took me a while, I will admit. The Busybox by Steritson or what ever, was showing it was installed to the /sbin/. However, I discovered it was in device/ data/local/ and there it was Busybox. The screen shot is from after I manually deleted it with my root file manager . Yea, I took a bit of a risk but it did fit well with me. It just didn't look right.
Next, I unistalled previous bbox applets from within the app. I rebooted and ran the app to see if all was bbox was removed. a. Tgen I denied it root , forced stoped cleared cache, data and unistalled. nd indeed. I now use l Busybox app to Jrummy. Looks good so far but will see. Anyway, system/xbin for syatem root and syatem/sbin or system/bin for syatemless root.

Hello my friend, Its good to hear from you. I'm running the Ultimate Note 5 hybrid rom (MOAR). Hears the link if you interested.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/development/rom-t3330135
Which kernel did you use? How is your battery life? I never did like battery life with the marshmallows ROMs
I gave it a shot, but wifi doesn't work... So back to UN7
Yea, I never almost never use Wifi but I couldn't get my hot spot to work. Blurred camera, no Wifi and no hot spot. My Bluetooth works. I have an old back from my previous Note 4, I was wondering if I should flash the modem partitions . Freaking fused 5, binary 4 bit the bog one. Dam!!
Im using the besst mode 2.2 ZL by @freeza. I think I try porting the r56 boot.img to the .zip of the R 2.2 ZL kernel zip. I appreciate any input or suggestions @doubledragon5

I can care less about hotspot. But if we can get Wi-Fi to work that would be fantastic
