[ROM] [11.0.0] ArrowOS POCO X3 [OFFICIAL][SURYA][UNIFIED]

[Master One]

I have surya and i'am using the latest ArrowOs 11 version. I'am not sure about the device Firmware. Never manually updated that so I might be on an old one. Can't find the version number in the setting. Can I simple flash the firmware from recovery and restart?

See here, and yes, you can simply update from recovery by flashing the latest firmware file.

Thanks again. I also found this thread mentioning I can flash via recovery.
I will try the new firmware and let u know how everything turned out.
Btw my number before the RENNELL is 00004.

A question about usability:

When hiding apps from the app drawer (Home settings >> Hidden & Protected apps), the only way to access them when hidden is through Settings >> Apps and notifications, right?

I'm not so sure about the purpose of protecting individual apps using that Home settings menu, because they can be unlocked by the same means as the screen lock.

I'm looking for the best way to set up the phones for my kids, because I don't want them to fiddle around with certain apps or be able to install software on their own.

Would this be a case for a Multiple users setup (which is something I have never played around with)?

Or is there a better solution for what I'm trying to do?

I installed the latest version in OTA (05/03) and the X3 is 30min in the arrow animation.

what to do?

Everything went well; RENNELL 00020; Camera is working now. Thanks a lot.

FYI There are certain settings (like mobile network settings "Call preference", "SMS preference" and "Mobile data", noticable if two SIM cards are used) which always revert to their default values after each software update.

The latest update from 2021-03-07 also reverted the home screen setup (placed app shortcuts).

Please see the following issue on the ArrowOS GitLab tracker and provide feedback there if you have any more information or can confirm these issues:

Does anyone experience Wifi and Volume UP not working bellow 5% Battery?

This has been happening on multiple builds.

The latest update from 2021-03-07 also reverted the home screen setup (placed app shortcuts).

Same issue here.
The layout of the home screen is completely shot.

1. Most of the widgets have disappeared,
2. app shortcuts have also disappeared or moved without any recognisable system to another position on the screen where they were originally placed on (maybe they were simply shifted to the screen's top),
3. some shortcuts seem to be randomly replaced by others.
4. The app dock at the bottom of the home screen seems to have been reset to its default state.

Unfortunately, there is not even a way to save and restore the settings for the Home Screen.
It is possible that they can be saved with the help of OAndBackupX, but I have not tried this yet.

Alternatively, I am considering installing a separate home screen app, e.g. OpenLauncher or Nova Launcher, to avoid future buts.

Can someone please explain how the "Hand wave" and "Pocket" proximity sensor gestures (Settings >> Display >> Ambient display) are supposed to work and be used?

Please see the following issue on the ArrowOS GitLab Tracker:

Doesn't work here neither - I am using https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.jarsilio.android.waveup/

I have tested that WaveUp app and it indeed seems to work with hand wave and screen off on lid close (using my flip case), but it does not turn the screen back on when I open the lid. I have played around with it a little, but decided to uninstall it again, as this really should better be taken care of by built-in system functionality.

what to do?

Same here with the 07/03/21 build. Did you resolve it, and how ?
Flashing the zip again from recovery and deleting the caches did nothing as well.

SOLUTION: After uninstalling MAGISK the phone booted into the OS.
UPDATE: It is the cusom ANX Camera modules - i added them back, and the same thing happens. It worked perfectly on 1/3/21 build :/.
BETTER SOLUTION: In recovery go to /data/adb/modules/ and delete the 2 anxcamera files/folders.

Bah the ANXcamera worked perfectly before . Might downgrade to the build where it worked. Does anyone if I can download the old 1.3.2021 build ? Being a moron i deleted it from my phone and the download page only shows the latest.

 

[gessler2244]

You can still download the old 1.3.2021 build, click on the ARCHIVE Button below the 2 Download Buttons.
Which ANX Version did you use, this one: ANXCameraUnity_185R.SaltyIntelligentPlainsqueaker.zip ?

 

[Master One]

@Yoda007, may I ask what ANXcamera is supposed to do better than Gcam, which works just fine with the latest version of ArrowOS?

My situation is exactly the same!
I use ANX camera, that's the problem.

back to 1/3/21 build!!

I saw your footnote was stay away for google, sadly, I found myself resolving your issue by using Google Family Link.
