    Post [KERNEL] [HELLSGATE.-X13- LOS/AOSP][LLVM/CLANG DragonTC-7.0][Treble] [OREO 03.08.18

    Does this kernel work well with stock roms? I'm using the 7.x SL!m rom - just curious if I can safely install this with that.

    Post Official (Beta) Android 8.0.0 V2.10B12 US Version by NFound discussion

    16.6 didn't quite work for me in this case. Battery life on the other hand... I was getting down to 30% within 5 hours of unplugging. Maybe 1-2 hours of SoT in that time span. Never had gmail crashes though. That's a new one for me.

    So after a few weeks with the beta, I've gone back to the Android 7 SL!M rom. There's a lot to like about ZTE's work on this Oreo build but it's too buggy for daily driving. The main issues stopping me from daily driving this: Battery life is awful - even with the jojoc fix Magisk and modules...

    Abysmal if I forget about the magisk issue and my phone has rebooted recently - 5-6 hours before I get down to 30% battery with maybe an hour of SOT. If i reinstall Magisk, I'll get about 2-3 hours of SOT and closer to 12 hours before reaching 30% battery.

    Magisk crashes any time I reboot the phone. I then have to reboot into recovery, uninstall it and then reinstall Magisk and my modules. I noticed this was mentioned in the other thread as well. Is there a fix? This rom seems prone to random reboots so I end up finding out it's broken...

    So I've noticed that enabling encryption after I sign into Android locks me out of TWRP. TWRP wants a password to decrypt but when I enter the one I use for Android, it fails. Encrypting for some reason also seems to break the camera entirely. Not sure why. Edit: NFound has posted that AEX...

    I just switched last night and I like how the rom looks and feels. The stock camera app included with it crashes every time I load it for some reason. Other camera apps have no problems running - including for example, the built in camera in Textra. I tried GCAM 4.0 that's been floating...

    Soft reboots while I'm doing something. Sometimes the screen goes black for an extended period and then it becomes a hard reboot. Last stable build was at least 3 builds back. Most recent one from 9/26 still has issues. I've done a clean flash with the 9/26 build and still experience it.

    Post Axon 7 Lineage 14?

    Is your phone bootloader unlocked and do you have a custom recovery like TWRP already? You'll need to do that whether you install CM14 or 15. If you install CM14, you probably won't have a clean upgrade path. Dirty flashing generally isn't recommended for major updates like that. You will...

    Post Can LOS14.1 pass safetynet?

    You have to use Magisk for root. SuperSU and LineageOS's versions of root will not pass safetynet from my experience. I don't know if it helps but I also have the Play Store and Nintendo's games enabled on Magisk Hide.

    Post My experience with different Roms and headphone audio.

    Your post touches on some of my bluetooth audio "issues" on LOS. The volume curve is not even at the lower registers and on low impedence headphones, can easily get to the point of causing clipping and hearing damage at just 50% volume. There's a huge jump in volume from a volume of 3-4 over...

    Some minor differences between the two, but nothing huge. I've swapped the files and restarted my phone. I have the same issue with volume controls. The LineageOS file has no defined curve for music. All devices call a "Default_media_volume_curve". Not knowing what that is, I defined a...

    Aside from the usual risks that come with rooting, does this method work reliably? I use my phone as a daily driver and I was worried that this approach would cause a conflict somewhere

    Post what difference did the update make?

    Better battery life, got rid of the stupid notification bell, and lost my ability to root because I hadn't rooted before the upgrade. Hopefully Tenfar or someone will provide a solution soon, but it's not the end of the world.

    Post Blocking Ads Without Root? Will ZTE Ever Step Up?

    It's not ZTE's job to block ads for you. Most vendor-specific flavors of android don't offer built-in ad blocking. If you want to complain to anyone, complain to Google for not allowing extensions in Chrome. They're lagging behind IOS there. Use adguard like others have suggested, or root...

    I experienced it while driving over the weekend. It resolved itself after a reboot. The timing just sucked because I was in the middle of downtown during a festival, driving to a neighborhood I normally never visit.

    It's a wireless protocol used for connecting sports sensors - heart rate monitor, speed/cadence (for cycling), etc. The Z3 line of phones come with the ability to handle it. I've got a Garmin bike computer I can also use, but having access on the phone would be really useful for going on runs.
