awesome news! Mine still tells me I'm up to date.

Is there any way to "capture" the update file and share it?

Sorry, but I've got no idea.

Anyway, just downloaded and updated the phone. Very nice clean interface with Launcher3, i.e. default Android launcher. But I use Nova Prime anyway. Everything else in the settings, interface etc is very stock looking.

Security updated to 1 Oct. Remains to be seen whether we'll get up to date security patches.

Will factory reset my phone later and do clean install of my apps, setting up of my phone and will test this thoroughly over the weekend. So far it's looking good.

Probably no Camera2 api and maybe turn off auto update in dev options to try and capture?

Thanks for posting ??

Well it should be easy to enable it. I remember nfound put a few files from the U version to the G version of the rom during the beta stages. And that enabled working level 3 camera2 api with working gcam. Dunno which files it were and if it still works as good. Some ppl or devs gotta try if it's possible.

Anyway, still disappointed that the zte team for G version didn't implement it. I mean they could have easily used the resources from the US team to get it implemented

"daydream will be unavailable FOR A WHILE" in the change-log screen. Maybe this means that this is not the last update for the Axon 7 and they are looking pushing more updates later.

EDIT: how do we root this thing? The recovery seems to have no fastboot. Do we have an EDL fastboot patch like "FASTBOOT_UNLOCK_EDL_N"?

Please do a EDL backup

You need to reset your phone to factory before you make that public right? otherwise the backup will have all your apps and logins?

I'm happy to reset my phone for you guys and make a backup but I would need to know if there's a way to root this build before I do that.

I have a few apps that I would need to restore from Titanium ASAP after factory reset and if there's no root I'd be in trouble.

Alright, thanks for the confirmation. I started a backup. No idea how long does it take. I will upload it on mediafire and post the link here ASAP.


EDIT: just to be sure, you guys need the "backup full edl" option, right?
