I never expected to see Oreo on this device. I installed this ROM last night, and so far it is running well. Thanks for building and sharing!

Coldhans, I know you're working on two roms for this device. Is arrow your own implementation, and that's why it's unoffical? I'd rather put this on my phone if it is. I know I shouldn't ask, but the other rom that you're working on(crdroid) says it's able to install magisk, so is there no root implementation on this one too? Can I install any root, or does one already exist on this? This will make up my mind up on which to install.

Arrow's next build will be official.

crDroid uses LOS inbuilt root; Arrow doesn't have root built in and will require Magisk or another root solution.

Yay! I use magisk to install xposed, which has xposed edge (my gesture control). Can't live without it.

A couple issues i have got.
WhatsApp camera + Video calling - works by itself at times but mostly doesnt
Video playback on WhatsApp (+GIF) and Instagram doesn't work good.
Does anyone have the issues?

And the volume in call is very low.
Is there a workaround apart from using Custom Kernel (when we have it) and tweaking the speaker gain?

Can you share screenshots ?

reggjoo · Oct 2, 2018

I seem to have a little problem with the rom upon startup. Phone boots, loads the rom, then, after a few seconds, the screen fades to black. The rom is loaded, and you can hear the double tap, notifications, etc. I have to press the power button, until the screen turns on(the reboot menu shows too, but that's expected). Everything is fine after that, and the rom/phone is very stable, and smooth. I don't think it's a hardware problem, it doesn't show up anywhere else(even in recovery). Is there certain apps that this rom doesn't like? It runs like a charm, even when rooted, except this. Also if it's rooted, don't put kernel aditor(mod) in internal storage, it will make the system close, and reopen apps( The only reinstall I had to make after). Great smooth rom, coldhans, you did a good job on this.

reggjoo · Oct 3, 2018

Found out that the screen lock(pin, don't know about pattern, only use pin) may have something to do with it. Turned that off, phone booted normally. When the official rom is released, will it be enforcing, or permissive?
Can't use the fingerprint button because of Google's
insistence on having a lock method with the setup. I need that for my camera. Any ideas? A way to bypass that? It's a smooth rom regardless.

Does exFat work in this ROM? The lineage ROM doesn't support it and I don't want to reformat my 250Gb card. Thanks for the ROM @coldhans!

No, it doesn't work yet...

reggjoo · Oct 6, 2018

Battery drain is still good for a old phone(of course using greenify) , the room seems well balanced. Apps are doing their usual tricks with notifications, and the power draw is a touch better. Good start.

joelh · Oct 7, 2018

Official builds have started! See the updated link in the OP.

Edit: Changelog for this week: Added full rootless Substratum support, merged October security patches.

SELinux is still permissive as of now.

I'll follow up with bug reports in this thread soon, I've been a little busy with work. :cowboy:

(thanks especially to @reggjoo for being so active, know that I'm paying attention!)

Yes, always. You didn't let this phone down, so others shouldn't let your work down.

reggjoo · Oct 7, 2018

Dirty flashed, per your instructions. Don't reboot phone after, when installing magisk, install it right after you install official( with a dalvik/cache wipe before, and after rom install) . Update went smoothly, no probs.

Very nice rom, ik have encountered no problems so far, music plays good battery drain is excellent, so far everything works good, thanks a lot. I will post my findings when encountering problems.
