Sensors stop working with any 7.1.1. Bullhead custom ROM

So, I'm very eager to upgrade to a 7.1.1 custom ROM from 6.0.1 (currently using Dirty Unicorns 6.0.1), but I seem to have an issue with any android 7.1.1 version of a custom ROM I install where the sensors for auto rotate and auto brightness stop working. I've tried complete wipes and resets and installed crDroid, resurrection remix dirty unicorns and lineage OS. All of them have the same result. When downloading any apps that can be used to test and calibrate sensors, they all will read for that the sensor is unavailable for all hardware in the phone except for Wifi and GPS. Is this a general issue with android 7.0.1 on nexus 5x or is this just me? I've yet to find any other forums or pages with anyone experiencing this.
Any suggestions at all on this? I don't want to be stuck using Android 6 forever.
Any advice that can be offered would be greatly appreciated!

Make sure you read the OP of the ROM you are installing.
Clean flash everything with correct vendor image.

I have a similar problem with every 7.1.1 custom ROM. Lift to check phone is not working (and yes, ambient display is enabled, vendor is correct). Every stock-based 7.1.2 ROM does work. Try flashing Stock+ 7.1.2 and see if your sensors work.

I am always clean flashing. What do you mean by correct vendor image? It's always a bullhead version of the ROM. Maybe I misunderstand what you mean.

There is something called vendor image that you have to flash along with the ROM. It's generally linked to the build number.
Read the OP of the ROM you are using, it should have the correct vendor image you should use. If THE OP does not mention anything about the Vendor image, just search the thread or politely ask what vendor image to use.
Hopefully someone should link the download link for you. If not, you can easily Google it.

Ohh. I was never aware of having to do something like this. I've always just downloaded the ROM and flashed it. Really appreciate this! Thanks! I'll have to give this a try.

You were right!
I downloaded the latest image from google and used the flash-all.bat script through fastboot, reflashed twrp, flashed crDroid 7.1.1, got a vendor image mismatch error on boot, then flashed the recommended vendor image version and now I'm booting without error and all sensors are working! I noticed Wifi detection and connection were working a but slow before, now everything is working perfectly. I was completely unaware that this needed to be done. It never came up as an issue for me when I was on Nexus 5.
I love the XDA community! Thanks a million for your help!

Zenfone 5 ZE620KL Project Treble GSI Test

After days of deciding..
Yes!! i have risked my device warranty for the sake of fun and excitement. HAHA LOL
For those who asked if we can flash Treble GSI (Generic System Image) on our device. The answer is Yes, FOR ME AT LEAST!
No complicated steps or whatsoever.
I just followed the steps from this link and downloaded the GSI of my choice. CREDITS TO ALL THE DEVELOPERS WHO WORKED FOR THIS PROJECT.
https://www.xda-developers.com/flash-generic-system-image-project-treble-device/
TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! I will not be held accountable to whatever happens to your device. This post is just to prove that indeed our device is treble enabled.
Some important things to note:
- You have backup of your data
- You have a working ADB
- There might be functionalities that is not working at the moment (Read the changelogs of your GSI choice before downloading)
- The notch looks bad on these builds (Android P might be able to fix this when it arrives)
- Your device should be in stock ROM (no heavy modifications such as xposed , magisk etc..) ROOT Not needed
- You should put your device on factory reset before trying this.
I have attached some screenshots of my test.

The only bug i have notice so far in PixelExperience is sometimes mobile data does not turned on when you toggle it in the quick tiles. you have to restart your phone then it will work after that.

Yes. same as with lineage. for me its tolerable since no information is being shown at that part of the status bar.

Do you think changing the dpi would help with that

I'm not sure bro. One thing i tried is changing the display size in settings. It looks better but everything looks so big. so i reverted to the default one.

What ROM are you using right now? i think you can extract it from the image of that ROM. sorry if this not as helpful.

he is on Stock Rom and he would like one guy put the stock recovery.img here

Excellent job. Thank you. I understand the camera is basic, but how is image quality? Looking forward to Google Camera port tests. And perhaps the ZE620KL fully ported so can make use of the landscape camera. Not a huge deal, but would be nice, no?

As visible on screenshot, Asus Camera is properly visible in the launcher (because of being put to vendor by Asus), but does it run well?

How is the audio clarity and quality when compared to the stock ROM? I have stopped flashing any custom ROMs - be it Oreo or Pie just because of this issue. Also, could you please share the full camera version that you are currently using - is that without the Portrait mode? Also, how much screen-on time are you getting?

Hello there... this post got my interest too. I have jumped back and forth between stock and custom. It is sad "for me" that it seems most devs have given up on supporting / maintaining Oreo 8.1. Everyone is trying to iron out the bugs in a Pie custom... however, I simply want the stability to be there... especially with the camera features and battery life. I am not a gamer either, btw. With all of that said, I have a question or two please.
1. Why did you quote using an older version of Magisk? Is there a compatibility thing that I should be aware of?
2. With the Gcam mod you referenced, does stability work smoothly while recording video? I have found that in many custom builds the stability mode can be jerky and no too smooth.
TIA

Fingerprint fix/solution for slow or incorrect registering ( oreo)

Hi peeps, i go through the comment section from almost every rom and i see people complaining about the fingerprint not being able to register as fast as stock miui, or u need to put your finger very fast or with lots of pressure on the sensor. Well I solved my problem and i found this posted by a fellow group member here. All u need to do is flash this baseband for the sensor. It works for many but if you do it incorrectly or got some weird stuff going in your phone before and it affected ur phone somehow, don't blame me. just letting everyone know a solution like this exists! It worked with lineage, rr, pixel experience.
1: clean wipe.
2: flash your rom and everything else like gapps, if necessary.
3:Finally flash the file, hopefully it will work like a charm.
here is the link. The credit does not go to me as I did not post the file. so if the link is broken don't complain to me :3

I tested, I flashed it before ROM, it works fast and accurate, like MIUI. Thanks

I flashed it and is working great like miui thx im in rr rom

Development [ROM][13][ENCRYPTION] Official LineageOS 20 for A72

Link to original thread: A52 4G forum

Updated to Lineage 19.0!

Hey man! Everything is working great as far as I can see right now. Only one big drawback is the fingerprint scanner not working on Galaxy A72. It's not that it's registered and then it's failing. You can't even register it sadly.
Any fixes soon? Or is there a workaround which I am supposed to do, that I don't know about?
Thanks!

There are some suggestions.
Google Camera does not start, crashes. On GSI it helped to turn on the vendor Q.
In the screen settings, can you add a graph of picture saturation settings?
And is it possible to add a system backup to Lineage Recovery?

Of course it's a pity lineage recovery won't have a backup function, it's inconvenient to flash twrp every time.
And the colour saturation setting as on oneui is missing. I don't understand why you chose LOs, there's nothing in it at all, you can't even choose colours in styles. I was sitting on GSI 12A CrDroid before your firmware, great firmware in terms of customization. Never used google services. Never used google services.
Unfortunately when upgrading to GSI v402 the phone is extremely hard to start. About 8 times on reboot out of 10, 8 times caught bootloop. And this is on any v402 firmware.
In any case your firmware is better, even without having to patch separately the boot for magisk in order to run it on 12A GSI

If you're unhappy with lineage feel free to build any other ROM on your own, the device trees are all on my Github.

Yes, it is.

tried this rom its quite unstable loads of issues, still its the only rom at the moment. I reverted to stock.
Ok this was posted in haste and a bit in irritation what I meant is simply this is not useable as stable rom,
Its unstable and has issues. This is not meant as a revieuw or judgement of said rom. Its the first and currently only one avalible and kudo's to the creator. Its listed as development. Its just a quick feedback for those like me that just like to know if its stable or not.

Would you mind telling me about the issues you experienced?
From my point of view (and from what others told me) it runs pretty stable and mostly bugless on both A52 and A72.

I have it running for weeks now as second device. Only real issue is fingerprint sensor and camera, could not find any gcam mod that would work properly. Apart for it - runs stable.

Sorry Muyst have missed this,
Also edited initial post cause it was imho blunt and to negative. Sorry about that I have nothing but respect for mod creators.
I din't extensivly test but:
Vingerprint reader but this was known.
I had some screen issues (swiping up from bottem wouln't work so couln't close apps.
pixel launcher kept crashing (yes this might not be rom related but nova launcher also had issues)
General instability possibly all related to screen.
There where some other issues but as said my intention was not to extensivly screen it the above combined with the other small issues made me decide to remove it again.

I was using lineage os 19 in my Samsung Galaxy A72. It's better than pixel plus ui rom. It has 90hz screen refresh rate. But this rom has the following bugs also:
1. Proximity sensor not working at all;
2.Fingerprint or face unlock not working;
3. No safety net pass.
