What are you doing flashing "early/beta" roms if you're going to complain about it? Stay miui-stock if you don't want to bother.
[ROM] [12.0.0_r2] ArrowOS Poco X3 [BETA/EARLY RELEASE]

What are you doing flashing "early/beta" roms if you're going to complain about it? Stay miui-stock if you don't want to bother.
Oh sorry. I forgot this was xda where you're not allowed to be frustrated about anything ever.
No complaints, no bug reporting allowed without logs. If you even upload logs for bugs, your bugs will be ignored anyway heh.
Developers must redirect all their traffic/responses, even important ones, to Telegram. Because why not. XDA is a nice placeholder forum. Wehn you complain there in TG groups for issues/bugs, you will be banned, no question.
Remember, those people work their ass off on their free time, which is little, so you can enjoy the best possible experience ever. And you dare to complain.
Jokes aside, this is usually not the behavior of the ArrowOS devs. They usually post important announcements either on XDA or on ArrowOS site. Not all ArrowOS developers are the same. For example, @kubersharma is very responsive in threads for his devices which he maintains. He always posts changelogs, important announcements etc. @ganesh_varma & @palaych are not active here most of the time. Ganesh Varma is rarely active on XDA anyways (just on ArrowOS site) while palaych is active in Poco F3 thread which is his main device I think. He came to help Ganesh as far as I'm aware.
When something is free, they have rights to release very bad products if they wish & to behave how they want (mostly). Of course, some behavior is controlled to some degree on XDA, but very bad products are allowed. While the behavior mentioned in the joke is a bit hyperbolic (some devs like that exist unfortunately), there is an line between good & bad behavior. F.e. clean flash needed from previous builds without mentioning it in any relevant pages (not some Indonesian TG page) is bad behavior imo. But it's technically allowed just because the product is free.
However, complaining & pointing the issues adequately is allowed. Most adequate way is to describe the issue in details than include logs. But the passable way imo is just to include basic information like device, ROM, modifications & describe the issue in detailed way. All that while respecting the requirements for bug/issue reporting (like no custom Gapps, no root f.e.) Because sometimes, logs are not reproducible & for some type of issues, logs & hugely detailed informations are not needed.
That's the sacrifice you make when you're using the free product. Developers do their free work based on their satisfaction/motivation & donations (which are usually small). Some developers get the revenue by using ads too in main custom ROM pages, but that's also small income since most users just use AdBlock. Best way imo would be to have Patreon with exclusive content like @kdrag0n did with ProtonAOSP. He gets the nice income there while others who don't pay also get the high quality piece of art.
I agree that not every complain should be regarded as "disrespect" to the developers though.

Have fun wiping all data. Install any other early release rom just for fun, I'm convinced you'll enjoy it a lot. It's free, man
Another experimental build is out.. How do we know if we can dirty flash it? No changelog, no words from dev.. How do we know what changed?
Wow what a great answer! I think you missed the point here but no problem.. All I'm saying is that xda shouldn't be just a placeholder, otherwise everyone could post zip files without saying anything useful about them!
The impression I got from elsewhere was that anything after 25/12 would need a clean flash.
The impression I got from here was I should not complain about this.
At the moment I am waiting for the next official release and I'll try to dirty flash. I have kept the 25/12 build zip so I can roll back again like I did when the 15/01 build boptlooped. If that's the case I'll need to decide whether/when to clean flash again. Or maybe with the lack of clarity and communication from the current ArrowOS maintainer on the X3 I will consider a different rom.

I'm on the January 15th build and should be able to update to the next one by upgrading/updating. Will try this later and report back.
Another bootloop from 25/12 to lastest build (23/01) so I guess clean flash from 25/12 is going to be the only way. 
I love Arrow 12 OS ROM. It is my daily driver & I am extremely happy with the ROM.
I know that Arrow-v12.0-surya-OFFICIAL-20220122-GAPPS.zip is an experimental build so this is not a complaint.
Please put the Clear All button on the Recents screen back at the bottom of the screen. I really love not having to scroll all the way to the left just to click the Clear all button on the recents screen.
Thank you!

There is new 23.01.2022 official build (clean flash of course
) and there is a 'clear all recents'.Attachments
Yes, that's mentioned before in this thread. It's NOT possible to upgrade comming from December 25th build.Another bootloop from 25/12 to lastest build (23/01) so I guess clean flash from 25/12 is going to be the only way.

4I upgraded from Arrowos 11 to 12.1 today. I must say my first impressions are very positive. Smooth and came across no big hurdles so far. The only thing that I'm missing is changing the systems color palette. The option under "Wallpaper and Style" I see in other videos about Android 12 is not there.
Also decrypting the internal storage to update is not working, but sideloading the updated rom should fix that.
OTA-Update works without problems. The internal storage does not need to be decrypted it seems. I can browse the system files in the latest TWRP from brigudav, only the sdcard-folder (personal files) is encrypted.
Apart from that I'm happy with my decision to upgrade.
edit: Smart charging is missing, too. But I'm not complaining, thanks for the hard work!4
Fixed manually by installing an app called activity launcher and searching within the app for "restore". "Data restore tool" will appear in the results, expand it and launch the activity that ends in "CloudRestoreFlowActivity". This will launch what was supposed to launch during the initial setup.42
I suggest you to flash 12.5.5 firmware as 12.5.7 seem like it can brick x3 nfc according to arrowos telegram channel2
Yes, you can downgrade TWRP by flashing an older version.
For example, if you are currently running the latest version of TWRP (twrp-3.6.1_11-1-surya_20.04.img). You can flash downgrade older version TWRP (twrp-3.6.0_10-1-surya-15.12.img).
Be aware the older version TWRP (twrp-3.6.0_10-1-surya-15.12.img) decrypts ArrowOS 11 Only! It does not decrpyt ArrowOS 12 or ArrowOS 12.1
There is currently no version of TWRP that decrypts Android 12/12.1 as far as I know! -

Zzenyoo,
Thank you very much for showing me how to enable the Clear All Button At the Bottom of the Recents screen for ArrowOS 12 - Arrow-v12.0-surya-OFFICIAL-20220123-GAPPS.zip
I feel really stupid & highly embarrassed that I was not able to figure this out for myself. The answer was right in my face & I did not see it. I am truly humbled. Thank you again for your patience & your reply.
I included procedures & screenshots below to help anyone else that may want to turn on or off the Clear All Button At the Bottom of the Recents screen for ArrowOS 12.
Procedure
- Long press any blank space on the Lawnchair Launcher screen
- Select Home Settings from the menu
- Select Recents from the Settings menu
- Select Clear All Button at Bottom button
- Verify by selecting recents buttons at very bottom of screen. Clear all will now show at the bottom of the screen instead of the extreme left of the recents screen.

I managed to fix the annoying fingerprint issue (the one reported above by me, and by other users on the first few pages of this thread). The fingerprint sensor was acting like an "enter key" whenever I touched it, which was quite annyoing).
It was fixed after completely restarting the whole process, by reflashing the latest MIUI rom (12.5.3 Global) and then repeating all the steps to install ArrowOS. Here's a list of steps, if you're having the same issue or any other issues that might pop up for just some users:
1 - Use MiFlash20210226 to flash the ROM downloaded from xiaomifirmwareupdater website:
"MIUI V12.5.3.0.RJGMIXM Stable Official Update for POCO X3 NFC Global (surya)"
The archive name is: surya_global_images_V12.5.3.0.RJGMIXM_20211013.0000.00_11.0_global_9eca9fae68.tgz
Size: 5.2 GB (it's the fastboot type, not the recovery type).
Note 1: if you don't know how to do this, look for "[GUIDE]⚙ USE XIAOMI FLASH TOOL" here on XDA, by user @NOSS8
Note 2: It's normal to receive an error at the end when using the "clean all" option, right when the smartphone automatically reboots while flashing. As long as it's taking a while to flash all the necessary data, it should be fine.
2 - Don't know if this is necessary, but I booted into the MIUI 12.5.3 system, skipped most configs, then I let it finish the initial configuration. Made sure it's the last update avaliable through OTA.
3 - Reboot into fastboot (hold power +volume down).
4 - I used the "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" tool in order to use the fastboot command to flash the latest TWRP compatible with Android 12 by @brigudav
Currently, the file is called: twrp-3.5.2_10-12-surya-a12.img and you can find it here on XDA.
Note: Boot into TWRP right away after flashing it, don't let your smartphone boot into the MIUI or it'll be overwritten.
5 - While in TWRP, go to WIPE > Advanced wipe > Select "Dalvik / ART cache" + "Cache" + "Data" and confirm the action.
Press the home button to return to TWRP main menu.
6 - While in TWRP, use "install" to flash the zip archive of the latest firmware package for MIUI V12.5.3.0 (Global).
Currently, it's: fw_surya_miui_SURYAGlobal_V12.5.3.0.RJGMIXM_624ada8a33_11.0.zip also available through the xiaomifirmwareupdater website.
Press the home button to return to TWRP main menu.
Note: you can use your PC to send these zips into your smartphone's "Download" folder while in TWRP.
7 - Also while in TWRP, use "install" to flash the zip archive of the latest official ArrowOS (Gapps version) with android 12.
Note: Don't forget to go into WIPE > "format data", and typing "yes" to confirm, after flashing the ArrowOS Zip archive.
8 - Reboot system and you're done.
