ABOUT
ArrowOS
is an Android Open Source Project-based Android mobile operating system started with the aim of keeping things simple, clean, neat, and organized, both for the Android system and users. We added features that will be helpful in the long run, while aiming to deliver smooth performance and longer battery life. We understand the pain of unnecessary and sometimes rarely used mods/features being shipped with custom ROMs nowadays which may end up causing battery drains and/or memory leaks & crashes. This is being strictly avoided on our side keeping everything to a bare minimum, delivering stable performance all the time without destroying the AOSP interface. With users getting more used to tweaks and features, we added just the right features and customisations that will be actually USEFUL at the end of the day.

I set the animations to 0.25x speed and the rom became like a jet. Less specific but wonderfully stable. Battery performance seems to be good too. 😃

After installation I had some trouble first, then most of them were resolved by auto or reboot. Whatever was working "Device Personalization Services" was constantly giving a "stopped" error. I also disabled it and problem solved. 😂

The device does not go into sleep mode when Bluetooth is turned on. I checked it with the BetterBatteryStats app.

Battery performance is not what I expected either. It is more better than MIUI 12 of course, but I would expect better battery performance from such a lightweight rom.

Edit: Battery performance is fine actually.
