I don't understand your problem. I have a Willow (Note 8T) and have no problem activating the NFC, which was recognized without doing anything:

Maybe you have a hardware problem?

I can't use g pay. " Rooted or modified system". :(
I don't rooted the system.
Thanks for this information :) I wanted to re-format everything and install a recent version so that I could once again make updates in "dirty flash" mode. That chills me.

Because even if I don't use Google Pay (Google already knows too much about me), I guess other banking apps react the same?

Anyway, while until February 13th, I found this ROM to be great, the best for our Note8[T]. But the latest updates are going wild. I think I will change the OS. Are there others who don't have all these faults?

Willow (RN 8T), only Android 10?
Yes, do not flash ginko FW, Android 10 FW should work with this ROM.
I have this ROM version 02.27. All functions are working, I get a random reboot every other day that may be FW/HW related since that happened to me before with other ROMs, even EU versions.
Camera and NFC works OK.

I don't know if the OP reads what people write here or not but I'll try... What do you think about adding 2 features:

1. Vibrosignal when the man you're calling picks up the phone? That wbould be nice if this option is enable.

2. NFC. You can enable NFC even without unblocking the screen. How's that possible? You can't enable Wi-Fi without unblocking the screen, but you can enable NFC. It's understandable that you can enable the flashlight without unblocking and it's good and should be this way...but not NFC. Someone can steal your phone and use NFC easily due to that bug.

Thanks for understanding. I wrote to the devs of ARROWOS 11 about NFC but the letter hasn't been answered until now.

Thanks Adithya R for your work.

    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.
