[GUIDE] HOW TO BOOT Q on Axon7

[raystef66]

Hi Guys !

In this early stage we found out how to boot android Q (Erfan GSI) with a vendor/boot combo and some patches.

How to : file : https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/gsi/

1. flash Q vendor/ boot combo. In fact it's latest Mokee vendor + los16 boot : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397937735
2. system.img (a only)
3. flash Permissiver_v2
4. flash FixZygote
5. boot

NOTE :
1. do select your SIM when it pops up the first time ! Calls should work and LTE should show up
2. a reboot messes up your APN and will disable LTE again - making a new APN will fix the LTE

What's working :
* BT working and can be toggled on/off
* NFC seems to be working but can not be toggled OFF - to be tested if it's indeed working when ON
* calls but laggy dialer - volume can be adjusted when calling
* LTE - but a reboot will disable LTE again - restoring to default or making a new APN and reboot will enable LTE again
* file manager works but very laggy sometimes
* stereo speakers
* magisk 19.0 (special one) root ok but manager crashes


What's NOT :
* wifi
* playstore : to be looked into / someone could login others couldn't...
* camera




.....


So for those who want to test, give it a try.

Perhaps some future patches will help on further development.


Thnx @yarecco

Man, is it possible to boot latest build? Or make data and some more works on April build from your guide?

It's not possible to get a fully functioning Android Q until Phh officially supports it into his AOSP builds, or we get a Pie vendor/kernel.

SOME MINOR UPDATE INFO ON BOOTING LATEST GSI 10

Latest GSI don't need additional files (like Permissiver or FixZygote) to boot properly. It's fairly easy to setup your phone.
Some files you might need :

1. vendor : Speedy A7 Vendor_Boot(Baddar RC1.1 kernel) Combo
2. GSI's : take a peek here :

• https://sourceforge.net/projects/expressluke-gsis/files/
• https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development
• https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/tags
• https://sourceforge.net/projects/developerluke-roms/files/GSIs/
• ...

3. gapps : https://sourceforge.net/projects/opengapps/files/arm64/beta/20191114/ tip : take the pico one otherwise, depending gsi size, you might have to resize system (error70 when gapps are flashed)
4. magisk : https://sourceforge.net/projects/developerluke-roms/files/phh-magisk/
5. button reverse if needed (flash in magisk) : A2017X_swap_button_Module_unity_key
....

Installation : starting from Pie

1. wipe system, vendor, data, cache
2. flash speedy vendor combo
3. flash rom img to system
4. boot phone ( if red light, no worries, just press power to boot ) (also no worries when no OS seems to be installed when trying to boot out of twrp)
5. reboot twrp
6. flash pico gapps (some gsi like PE10 have gapps included) and magisk 20.2 (note : if you get a gapps error70, you'll have to resize system after flashing the img)
7. reboot and enjoy


BUGS :

Have tested some gsi now and only major bug is the NFC.
Depending on the gsi you might have a non working camera, fp too.
After testing some gsi, imo these are worth a try : with working camera, wifi, calls, fp, BT, hotspot

* HAVOC 3.0 : https://sourceforge.net/projects/expressluke-gsis/files/HavocOS/Ten/
* PE10 : https://sourceforge.net/projects/expressluke-gsis/files/PixelExperience/Ten/
* AOSP 10.0 v204 : https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases/tag/v204
* EvolutionX 3.3 : https://sourceforge.net/projects/expressluke-gsis/files/EvolutionX/Ten/

Feel free to comment on your personal use.
Ofc GSI are still to improve but worth a try.....till we have our own device specific Q roms


thnx @atakan33

why not using Speedy latest Combo with kernel RC1.2 ?

Temporay fix for the CAMERA on LOS17

Just flash this in twrp ( do mount system ) : A2017X_LOS17_GSI_camera_fix

or manual fix :
search system/etc/ld.config.27.txt
change : namespace.vndk.links = system,default to namespace.vndk.links = system,default,runtime


thnx @AndyYan @phhusson

Hi raystef66,
I installed this a couple of hours ago. Installation was a breeze following your guide. I had a play services error but a wipe of data/cache fixed it. I installed the aosp 10 version. Bluetooth seems to not be working for me, it connects but does not play sound thru B/T speaker and WIFI doesn't auto connect after reboots. Everything else seems to work pretty well (I didn't try NFC) but the camera worked for me without flashing anything else. Really nice job, especially for first go round at 10.
Thanks a million.

Okay, I think I have the log, it's 7,000+ words long, do you want that posted on here?

yes send it for txt file

 

[tlarm]

yes send it for txt file

hopefully this worked

 

[tlarm]

hopefully this worked

p.s. prob should have noted I had flashed PE10 instead of the asop 10 I tried yesterday but the result is the same.

 

[atakan33]

hopefully this worked

one more log needed we need log from using matlog ( from playstore) .Send log while music playing on bt speaker .

That was while I was attempting to play on bt speaker. It connected but no sound came from bt speaker, intermittently the sound would come out of the phone speaker but for only a one second and then no sound at all.

Here's from the matlog app. I had to zip the file because the txt file was to large to upload. This is prob more info than you asked for but wasn't sure how to do only adb shell dumpsys media.audio_policy from the app.

Apart from unstable NFC in GSIs I've tried (Havoc 3.0 and EvolutionX 3.3) sometimes UI hangs and for now they are not as smooth as LiquidRemix (PIE) which is my favourite GSI (I'm using it till now).
In Evolution I've found option to wake phone by double tap which is something new in GSIs I've tried so far. Also Evolution comes with GApps so you don't have to flash it separately and worry about system partition being too small. Overall it's all going in good direction

^^Stable enough for daily use?

I'm really digging the battery life on android 10 on the 7t. I've had the set up in my sig for well over a year now. It's ok and works well but battery life could be better (esp considering new battery installed earlier this year).

Edit: I'll answer my own question. No. The nfc keeps cycling on/off. I think that's also what's introducing significant lag.

Hopefully this can be resolved to give this device a bit more life.

Nice, I wasn't sure if the Axon 7 will get some Q love.
Will try some of these ROMS.

Thanks OP
