I remember that from the upgrade to Android 12 from Android 11 it also said discontinued, so I wouldn't be too worried about it, let the developers work when they can and release it when it's finished

If no more arrow rom for surya, which rom do you plan to use ?? Thinking about crdroid
I'm planning to continue using ArrowOS 12 for the time being. We have security patch level October 2022, so I feel comfortable using the phone for some months since it's super stable and has all the features I need.

ArrowOS 13, Lineage 20 or crDroid in spring then

There're other alternative roms A13 based since several weeks. Maybe it's time to try something different guys ;)

Difficult, if you prefer/need certain properties (like separate dual-SIM ring tones, propery working VoLTE/VoWiFi, signature spoofing for microG, no GAPPS integrated).

I would have gone for LineageOS for microG, but it's lacking the dual-SIM ring tone support and had a nasty bug with airplane mode last time I tried).

Don't know what else comes to mind.

What about CR Droid ?

Yesterday I flashed crDroid and I'm sorry.
It has too many things to configure in my opinion and I needed to remove native applications to flash gapps later.
It's too many things for me.
I wanted to keep things simple with ArrowOS, so I'm going back to my safe place, even if that means staying on A12 :)
i have gone to pixelOS 13 and it is quite good, pretty smooth and batery life is similar with at a flance widget disabled.

Perhaps you could test LMODroid (like I'm currently doing): it's LOS based and appears very smooth.

Downsides noticed are scant documentation, shorter battery life, some systemUI papercuts but otherwise everything works.

As it is a vanilla ROM (although I have Mind The GApps now) I foresee no troubles with Magisk MicroG...

    So if you want to continue to use ArrowOS with regular updates, just use unofficial like the TheStrechh Build.
    I'm using about 3 mouths ago and everything is all right.
    I'm on release of 20/02/2023 already with android patch February
    For those you have doubts TheStrechh is the maintainer of LineageOS for Surya (Poco X3) and at the moment for ArrowOS he's using device tree by palaych (Old core member of ArrowOS).

    My Clean flash of Arrow-v12.0-surya-OFFICIAL-20220123-GAPPS.zip still shows only Screenshot at the bottom of the recents window.

    Where in the launcher settings? I do not see any recents setting at all in the default Lawnchair launcher settings
    It's in the launcher settings.

    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
    1. Long press any blank space on the Lawnchair Launcher screen
    2. Select Home Settings from the menu
    3. Select Recents from the Settings menu
    4. Select Clear All Button at Bottom button
    5. 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.
    Screenshots

    Everything is working fine so far. The only issue is that the fingerprint scanner acts as some sort of "enter" key. Does anyone know how to make it ignore accidental touches?

    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.
