[gustavo.carrera]

You cannot change the color of the icons when changing the wallpaper, why?

 

[jefffrom]

You cannot change the color of the icons when changing the wallpaper, why?

[sam00561]

[kamyd]

Thank you very much for sharing this rom

 

[Akash Mandal]

nice .i like it

 

[vmtest]

Can ArrowOS 11 be directly upgraded to ArrowOS 12?

 

[Noe367]

lol it is official rom available on arrow os website.

No ?

 

[Noe367]

Can ArrowOS 11 be directly upgraded to ArrowOS 12?

It's advised to do a clean flash, but I saw someone do a dirty flash from Arrow 11 with no problems

 

[Noe367]

There is no official tag on experimental builds. Maintainer is the same.

Thanks for the response

Very happy with this ROM! So far the only issues I've encountered are:

1. Issues with Nova Launcher constantly crashing
2. Weird issue on setup (I did a clean install) where part of the Google Pay setup process had white text on a white background (so most things were illegible)
3. Padding issue with the battery/network/etc. icons on the top right (lot of extra padding from the right corner/edge)

Other than that, installed Nikita Gcam so the camera experience is good, no Bluetooth issues so far, Material You coloring is working well with Muzei + Google Earth plugin. Will be sticking with the A12 build(s) going forward.
