Q: When I try to install the ROM it says "Error 7 symlink failed", what gives?
A: You need to unmount /system first on twrp

Q: After flashing TWRP says "No OS Installed?"
A: Ignore this message. If the ROM flash indicated as being successful, you can swipe to reboot and the OS should boot.

Q: Do i really need full wipes?
A: Yeah

Q: App "x" doesn't work, why?

Q: AdAway no longer works on Nougat, what can I do?
A: Simply install busybox first, available from the Play Store, and it'll download hosts and work just fine then

Q: Data Connection does not work, why?
A: The ROM, already includes latest APNs, if you still have no active data connection, check your APN settings

Q: How is battery life with Nougat on the Jiayu?
A: It should be comparable to Marshmallow.
Update: We've already fixed several memory leaks and draining issues

Q: Does this build support Vulcan?
A: No. Vulcan does not provide support for MediaTek (yet?)

Q: Does doze work in this build?
A: Yes. You do not have to enable anything; it is active by default.

My Apollo X have only 27gb instead of 60gb user data storage capacity. Can I resize the user data partition on my own?

Unlocking screen isn't working very well. I can't unlock the lock screen.

What is Vax? Thank you

Please just try format data from twrp. This should fix it.

Vax is short for vernee Apollo x.

You never can't unlock? Or it's just not working everytime?

I'll try format data from twrp. I unlock my phone successfully by tapping on notification and then disable swipe unlocking. I had swipe problem. When i tried unlock with swipe, lockscreen only moves and returned to previous state when get finger up. When i tried pull down status bar on lock screen and when i get finger up then locksreen goes back up (close).

Did you maybe flash the rom from Apollo lite? This could explain those problems (also the storage one).

I'd suggest to completely flash this software then (or again).

Okay, I have correct rom in my Apollo X, but the issue with unlocking still persist. And another bug still persist, if I wake up phone by power button, it needs aprox. 7 seconds to get respond from touchscreen.

No, we can't, unless you are already on stock 7.0 by vernee... Partition layout has changed, and the whole phone needs to be reformatted.

Ok, thanks any way, I'll try through the stock rom and do it all again

Edit: can you make or link a tutorial to the steps for the new installation?

Sorry for the bother

If you already have recovery installed i suggest to wipe first, and then turn off the phone
I just flashed this rom and i will try to explain it to you( i already had a 7.1.2 rom installed, so the devolpers can correct me if i am wrong)
Step 1: Download SP Flash Tools en MadOS software for Vernee Apollo X
Step 2: Unzip the MadOS software
Step 3: Open SP flash tools, Download tab , and choose Scatter-Loading File
Step 4: Choose the scatter file from the MadOS software
Step 5: Select download only at the traingle and press download
Step 6: Connect your phone while its power is off
Step 7: When downloading is finished, disconnect phone,
Step 8: Boot phone, then go to recovery (hold power, press restart , select recovery)
Step 9: Install Gapps
This is how i did it, but i already had i 7.1.2 rom installed on my phone
