GSI ports for Axon 7 - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

Hey everyone
Im wondering if anyone has had the chance to try out any of these ports on their Axon 7. Here is the thread with the issues and instructions on flashing and other files to use:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...velopment/pie-erfan-gsi-ports-t3906486/page21
Here is the page with the GSI ports:
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/gsi/
Im eager to try 2 of them but there doesnt seem to be a lot of info with the Axon there and many are reporting issues with other phones. Has anyone here tried any of these and had success?

most users with other phones reports issues.
a month ago i tried 2 but none of them booted,im not gonna try again

You should've opened this in the Q&A section.
There's a thread already discussing Pie roms here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/summary-best-pie-roms-to-try-to-moment-t3841784

Those are custom ROMs though. The link is about direct ports from different manufacturers like Samsung UI, Zen UI, Oxygen UI and MIUI. Someone was trying to create bootable GSIs from direct ports of those OSs. I only saw one Axon 7 owner there that tried and now Im looking to see if any other users have tried as well.

Oh, I see.

this is the best ROM

Out of curiosity, Do you personally have any issues with the current build of HavocOS?
I saw that someone might have a Flashlight Problem, do you?
If you use your device a lot, how long is your average Screen-on-Time while on Havoc?
I'm wondering because I am still on the old RR-O 5/11/18 Kranoner build (still pretty stable, but bad SoT) and am itching to jump to Pie, but want a stable experience.
I just don't have the time to experiment with each recent GSI to see what does and doesn't work.
I remember in the other Pie GSI thread, there was a post many months ago about PixelDust having close to 7h SoT, Do you know if there are any other stable GSI's that work on Axon 7 that have this kind of SoT?
Thanks!

Most GSIs have pretty much the same SOT, it depends mostly on the state of your battery (i.e. if it is more than a year old you won't get that kind of SOT) and also on your vendor (Speedy 6.2 is the best right now) and kernel (Baddar RC1.1)
You may get 7h SOT if you use it VERY lightly, but I'd say it's closer to 6h with a new battery

What is your current ROM/GSI that you use for the Axon 7? What would you recommend for overall stability and daily-driver?

Liquid, AEX, Havoc, Omni, maybe Bootleggers...
I'm using AEX but don't really use the axon as daily driver since the screen is completely dead. The system is still completely stable though, via scrcpy

Where can I get Speedy vendor?
I can't find anything by that name.
I'm also running AEX but it's quite unstable.

If anyone needs a link to Speedy stuff, here it is:

It's unstable because of the (non-Speedy) vendor you're using
BTW you'll have to clean flash in order to change the vendor

Hm... I did flash Speedy vendor and Baddar Kernel.
That lead to major graphical issues, so I wiped data.
That helped, it's running better now but still not perfect. Status bar / quick access freezes sometimes.
Do I need to wipe again and flash in another order?

You need to CLEAN FLASH. which means wipe system, data, caches, then flash the vendor, then the ROM, then GApps and Magisk, then the NFC fix (The first one by Kountry is the only one that works for me) and then reboot

install speedy 6.2, havok 2.6 and gapps. that ROM is rock solid. don't need to install custom kernel or NFC patch

But you do. The NFC stuff is not related to the ROM, it's the vendor, and all seem to require it. And not installing a custom kernel (i.e. Baddar, because it's the only updated one) means you're stuck with Speedy's kernel, which is not bad but is not as good as Baddar

After some time waiting for the GSI roms to appear, I was surprised and disheartened to still see folks having problems with their Axon 7. I thought the introduction of Treble support would allow everyone access to many ROM updates but instead it seems like there's work involved to tailor each GSI for their particular phone.
I thought it was Google's intention to have these GSI's flashed to any phone supporting Treble without much developer involvement. Did I assume too much?

kind of. We don't have a vendor made specifically for the phone, since treble didn't even exist when this phone came out. People have been making them over time.
But again, what's the problem? NFC/hotspot? You are supposed to flash the patch after the first boot. V4A not working? Only a few have that.

V4A works for me, I have havoc 2.4, Vendor_Project_Treble_Axon7-by+Kranoner, and I install V4A with magisk 19.3 , and I also use "NFC_Hotspot-Universal.zip"

Too many roms, which one should I choose ? Which one is the best ?

I browse XDA everyday and these days there are so many new custom roms for OPX. I'm so confused choosing the one to be flash on my OPX (E1001). So I would like to make a vote so that everyone can share their experience about custom roms choosing. For me, After tried several roms I'm now back to OxygenOS since it's stable. Bluspark kernel gives me a smooth UX and fine performace in gaming. I got 27-29 fps playing Hearthstone on my phone.
Try them, read the forums and decide for yourself. Best rom threads aren't allowed on xda.

Yup. That's the best way. Just try em all. I don't even have a favorite. Some are better in different ways. Right now I am running Oxygen though. It's the only ROM supported by the Boeffla kernel right now
I means I just want to find a rom which has good battery and bug free for daily use.

Bro you can use boeffela kernel on h2os also I have flashed boeffela 7 for oneplus x OOS on h2os and it is running smoothly no lags at all and on benchmark it is giving a score of 68k to 69k by doing some customization by boeffela config app
I totally understand this poll.
Following OnePlus X development thread for some time now, it is quite difficult to choose one of the ROM.
For those saying that we need to try them ... I tried most of them and can't figure out why using one compare to the other ...
Most of them are CM based or include exactly the same feature.
I remembered using TeamEOS ROM and this, was completely different (in my point of view). Some extra goodies included but all from them, with some differences (gestures instead of navbar).
I don't want to be rude dev, but except AOSParadox, all are quite similar for "normal" users (not developpers I mean) and when using one, you tried all of them ...

The biggest thing for me, that there are no bugs. No wifi bug, no invalid number bug, build in superuser works, so no need for supersu etc.

Just tried it myself. No crashes here. I'm running with bluspark kernel 104 BTW.
I tried some custom ROMs but battery life is nothing like OxyOS..
I found screen on time 5.5-6 hr in oxy os & it's great...
So I am Desperately Seeking
Is there any Custom OS based on OxyOS/H2OS ?
yeah i would like a h2os lite version but not holding my breath for it. h2os with boeffla kernel flies. 71k antutu score.
also this vote will only show how many users r using their preferred rom. it will not show the best rom.

I am working on a custom oos rom. Will release when its ready (think about two weeks from now). And I'm still pending on permission from a few developers to use their source.

That's the very good news....
Custom H2OS may be better ..
Any way ???
So for me it's either ashwins cm13 or purity. But what all custom ROMs currently lack is encryption.
That is one thing (I know it is hard to implement) I really would like to see in the next builds as it is for me an essential feature when you are using a custom recovery and an unlocked bootloader. I hope there will be some focus on it within the next weeks.
The only option for now is: stay on stock

Gaming/Performance

Hi.
I'm about to buy this phone, and i would like to question which rom is the best for hard gaming? Latest stock, los, aicp 13.1 (oreo 8.1) with blackscreen kernel or else.
I will unbloat any rom, plus apply my own tweaks
For now i think the best would be stock or aicp, but... On stock I don't have vulkan api nor custom kernel, and about aicp, not sure how stable is it
If aicp has newer gpu driver and better antutu/3d score than i will chose that.

A new one, with gov performance...
Using old stock 17s here, i knock up the governor on the 2 big cores to ondemand, but keep the little cores on interactive. This gives me smoother performance and is still battery friendly. Without this tweak i find some apps slightly jerky, like a home launchers scrolling screens for example.

X722, but i read that i need to flash an old version to unlock the bootloader and than flash twrp and than magisk... And i would like the latest stock rom version.
It will more likely come with a modified 20s image, with multi language, someone in my family just got one. All i had to do was type the unlock bootloader command and flash trwp (make sure to get correct version for the x722). Just don't flash official images with twrp or it will brick apparently.

AICP 13.1, i always disabled the keys rn waiting aicp 14, and using los 16, but it doesn't has thermal engine yet, so you'll probably just fry your phone, like i did with the display
O damn my old thread before buying this awesome phone. Still aicp remained the best aww fck me that i need to leave this community
Havent played a game that this phone cant handle :0 cracked my screen though and i dont wanna 1st attempt a fix on my main phone, so im thinking of upgrading. Wish they didnt stop making phones :/

If you want to sell your parts, there are plenty of people on XDA with hardware issues that could use the components from your broken phone.
Well its not broken as in not working, it works fine. I still have my LG X Power with a cracked screen that works fine, just with some things, I use reasons like this to upgrade, even though it still works, or I could even buy another pro 3, but upgrading things has always been one of my faults, spending money when I don't need to :0. I had the x520 as my main backup/wifi phone, but it got stolen, so I might use this phone as my main backup. But ill keep in mind letting it go on here.

What's the best Oreo ROM today?

By best I mean, lesser bugs. No scrolling stutter, good battery back up and etc.
I have tried Oreo ROMs before the official Oxygen Oreo comes out, now that it has been out for about a month (?). I think Oreo custom ROM has also improved. I just want your input guys. Thanks!
Also, don't include OxygenOS-based ROMs. So either AOSP or LineageOS-based.
BlackScreenOS
I've tried liquid remix, aicp, omnirom, aosip and the last come resurrection remix... Well i found that the last one is the better.. Long battery life, no lag, the rom is smooth and have all kind of personalizations
BUT i can't understand why i'm in completely mood with Oos 5.0.2 it's simply perfect imo... And i've been always the first to install a custom rom on my device
Now that substratum is working i think oos has nothing to envy at the other roms, rather it has face unlock oos cam etc... and it's for sure the smoothest rom on this phone
I haven't found one yet that fits your description. Tried DU, Screwed, Aquarios, Phoenix, Omni, Liquid Remix, AOKP and CrDroid. All have bugs, are less than smooth or both.

I don't have your problems, maybe you have some apps/tweak cause this issues or simply Xposed / Module
The problem with DU is that the maintainer for this device decided to stop releasing RC builds after number two because *he has enough feedback" while other phones are getting updated DU builds. Unless you compile the source code yourself you are stuck with an outdated version of DU that is missing many of the ROMs features. I was a big fan of DU before buying an OP5 but on this phone it has never been anything but a substandard ROM. The Nougat version was buggy garbage and based on the attitude with the RC builds Oreo for the OP5 probably won't be any better.
I've only tried RR roms, lots of problems (maybe it's my fault, bad flash or idk) so I'm back to stock. I don't know why but since Oreo I can't go on custom rom, feels like they're more laggy.

When it comes to camera, Phoenix is the go! As I says OOS Cam is fully working. It's not pre-installed. Just download the latest apk from apk mirror and install it. There's a delay when starting up the camera, you will just need to wait a little bit,then everything works perfect. Even clearer picture than on OOS itself.

a new rom? grass is always greener

Hi all,
Have been using the 1+5 since launch day, bought this beast at midnight on launch day and since then it's just amazed me....but I've been stuck picking a ROM due to the encryption decryption worry, I'm currently decrypted on xXx
What ROM are you using and why?
Not looking for the best, just for the points of why one over another.
Cheers.

Different ROMs are build above different sources -- OOS, AOSP, LineageOS... -- and contain various modifications -- theming options, kernel tweaking, features ported from other devices, ability to streamline the system experience, stellar stability or release-early-release-often, etc. Every ROM is different, though at some point they offer more of less similar features -- eck, it's all Android at the core! Still, they represent what their devs feel is important for a joyful experience. Read the first post of a topic, you should have a general idea of what you get.

Thanks, maybe I didn't explain it enough, what I meant was what do you use and prefer and why?
What features sell you the ROM of your choice over others.
I think you can see by the amount of phones I've had that I've seen quite a few.
What are you using at the moment and why?
Benefit over OOS?
I've always been in love with Codename Phoenix, and I still am. I flashed everything there is out there, and every kernel. My conclusion: either OOS, or Phoenix. All the others either have some bugs or annoying problems. I choose Phoenix over OOS because it is just as smooth if not even smoother & faster while providing much more features than OOS. Also, 2 stable builds a month. That's much faster updates than OOS.

The guy deleted all of the G+ and xda threads, because he hated the drama. All he wanted to do at the end of the day is just share the builds he makes with his friends and his loyal users, so he only just has a telegram where he posts fully stable builds around two times per month.

The rom also has OOS cam working. The ROM itself is closed source, but it's stellar, so I am sure there's a reason behind him making it closed source. I bet he is some ex developer of some other mainstream rom who really knows his stuff.
The rom that give Codename Phoenix a head to head competition is AOSIP, I have used both and settled down on latter.

Aye i was looking at that one, again though it aims towards encrypted devices, I'm currently decrypted and have fallen foul of the memory becoming unreadable and thus losing data before, that noverity is that all you flash after the rom?
ROM / Gapps / Noverity
In that order right?

I am decrypted as well, yes order is correct just flashing magisk after the rom makes sure that you will stay decrypted.

Ok cool, cheers pal.
Will look into it this week sometime. :good:
I went with AICP, firmware 5.1 at this point is needed with it. Modded Gcam working, modded oneplus cam also working. Alot of features, uses LOS and others for base. if your a flashaholic like myself they have nightlies close to every night even. If you want a custom kernel most of the LOS compatble ones (EX, Flash, Franco) work. Battery life is great, and I like the feature set. Eneough tweaking I dont need substratum to have the look I want. Using Magisk 14.4 beta for root. solid eneough to be a daily driver for sure. Bluetooth works perfect for me as well, no wifi issues.
Still using Pure Fusion 7.1.2, as it's aosp-based yet has oos camera fully working(with portrait and slow-mo).

So I am going to do this later...I am on XXX 10.5 right now, Oreo.
I am unencrypted...
To put Phoenix on my OP5 and not lose data...
In TWRP:
1. Wipe everything but internal storage...
2. Flash Phoenix
3. Flash GAPPS
4. Flash Magisk
Done?

Super stable for me, with magic batterylife. Do U run the beta-version or the stable? I am on #TeamBeta

Beta as well. It had only one problem for me - stock alarm app is broken so I pulled it from another ROM.

Have to say I'm more than curious about this ROM now, it is also Friday so I have the weekend to spend, no excuse for me now, I'll be doing the same pal.

Not a worry for me that, I've got a Lumie that gets brighter in the morning and tweets at me, wakes me up better than a normal alarm.
How's theming on pure fusion? Been having some issues with my preferred theme lately, in fact so many themes these days don't work.
Google just wants to be lighter and lighter, how they haven't got a dark side I'll never know.
Besides robbing everyone's data
Just like OP, i'm running xXx oos based rom since the beginning, and i'm pretty happy with it.
I'm interested in trying some custom roms, but i've read almost everywhere that custom roms can't get close to camera quality of OOS, is this still true ?
I don't mind flashing any magisk camera mod module if that could help :good:

lack of development

Just picked up the pixel 4 And hopped in here to see what's going on. It seems like there is a serious lack of development. Am I missing something? Last pure Google phone was a Nexus 6. I've been with OnePlus for a while. Not hating just curious if I'm just missing something.

Check out the 4xl boards, there is a bit more going on in the way of development and a lot of it is cross device

any roms cross device? i know we have pixel dust, just curious anything else.
I've seen it mentioned here on XDA that some Project Treble GSI ROMs are working with Pixel 4.
I tried out flashing some Project Treble ROMs to my Pixel 3a, and sadly, everything seems to work great except there is an issue with the RIL. So that means no SIM card recognition and no WiFi. This seems to occur with only a handful of devices.
I would 100% try it out. Its actually super easy and quick to install with fastboot, so I would give it a shot before giving up hope. I'm thinking about picking up a Pixel 4 just so I can have a daily driver with some AOSP ROMs on it!

Do you have a link to said ROMs?, thanks.

Here is a list of Treble ROMs:
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
It would be worth looking through the threads on the ROMs you are interested in. Some devices are reported to work great with Treble ROMs, and others may have limited compatibility or stability. I've seen reports where users on many phones had no complaints.
Here are just a few links to guide you through the installation:

at first i was sad for the lack of development on this device (as someone else mentioned lack of TWRP surely accounts for some of the reason). but then it's not so bad just getting little familiar with basic adb and fastboot commands. then we have some great kernels that work with our P4 (i prefer freak07's kirisakura). i can get pretty much any features i miss from custom rom's through either magisk modules or installing edxposed and xposed modules and gravitybox. this guide from the 4xl forums worked perfectly for me to install xposed and keep gpay and safetynet passing (https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-4-xl/how-to/xposed-discussion-thread-t3992607). still a little sad the regular 4 doesn't get as much love as the XL version, but i'm actually very happy with stock rom modded!
