Development [ROM] [12.1.0] [alioth/aliothin] ArrowOS 12.1 [OFFICIAL]

[Veiranx]

Hi, had a few questions..
Do banking apps work ?
Does safetynet pass and is selinux enforcing?

Yes, for me it works without having to tweak anything, though if you plan on rooting that may be a different story.

Tried it like that and it worked perfectly. Caffeine keeps the screen & phone awake. The update takes about half an hour (rather add a few minutes than take a few) and then you're on the newest version.

For Magisk I'm still using the method described b y @kwanice in this thread.
You need adb and fastboot installed, USB debugging over developer settings needs to be activated and the PC allowed to use it once the phone is connected.

1. Extract boot.img from the newest ROM-zip. I'm using the excellent tool Fastboot Enhanced by @xzr467706992 which allows you to add the ROM and then extract the boot.img by:
   1. Download zip under "Assets" from here and extract it.
   2. Start the GUI from FastbootEnhance.exe
   3. Select tab Payload Dumper
   4. Click Browse button and add the ROM-zip you installed on your phone
   5. Select tab "Partitions"
   6. Select boot (should be around 100 MB size), click the Extract Image button on the right and choose the location where to save the boot.img (ideally where your adb.exe is)
2. Start a cmd- or Powershell-window and locate your folder where adb and fastboot are installed through
   cd C:/ADB/ (change accordingly. For me adb.exe is under C:/ADB/adb.exe)
3. Connect your phone to your computer and check that you're in the right folder with
   adb devices
   It should say:
   * daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started succesfully
List of devices attached
[some numbers] device
   (if it says "unauthorised" instead of "device" you haven't authorised USB debugging on this PC - there should be a pop-up message on your phone about it)
4. Copy the boot.img to your phone with the command
   adb push boot.img /sdcard/
   If you put the boot.img somewhere other than in the same folder as your adb.exe you need to use the following
   adb push X:/path-to-your-file/boot.img /sdcard/
   If you did it correctly, the screen should read
   boot.img: 1 file pushed, 0 skipped. [some numbers about speed]
5. Now open the magisk app on your phone, tap the "Install" next to Magisk, tap "Select and Patcha File" and select the boot.img you just copied to your internal memory (a file browser helps with navigating)
6. Tap "LET'S GO ->" and let the process work. It should tell you at the end, that the patched image has been saved in your Download folder, leave this screen open
7. in the command window on the PC type
   adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched-23000_[some CODE]
   The code is random.
   Note: The magisk_patched part might change depending on version. Just have a look what it's called in the magisk app.
   If you done it correctly the command window should show
   /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched-23000_[some CODE].img: 1 file pulled, 0 skipped. [some numbers about speed]
   Also, the file magisk_patched-23000_[some CODE].img should turn up in your ADB and fastboot-Folder.
8. Uninstall Magisk app
9. Reboot phone into fastboot mode
10. In fastboot check that everything works by typing into the command window
    fastboot devices
    which should show
    [some numbers] fastboot
11. Now flash the modified boot.img with the command
    fastboot flash boot_ab magisk_patched-23000_[some CODE]
    It should show
    Sending 'boot_ab' (12345KB) OKAY [ 1.234s]
Writing 'boot_ab' (bootloader) Partition boot_a flashed successfully
(bootloader) Partition boot_b flashed successfully
OKAY [ 1.234s]
12. Now restart the phone with
    fastboot reboot
13. Once the phone is restarted, download the newest Magisk-app again and install it
14. Done!

I get error when I issue fastboot flash boot_ab magisk_patched-23000_[some CODE] anyone had this issue?

HI.

I am running the latest build on firmware MIUI V12.5.5.0.RKHMIXM. I have Magisk installed and all is working very well except for my GPS always being accessed by something. I have disabled access for all application and recent access says 15min ago for all applications that have access. I have also disables all location services but the green GPS dot is coming on every 30 to 45 seconds in the top right corner.

Please how do I troubleshoot which app is accessing this or what the error is?

Thank you

Hi all,

Thanks to everyone for this rom. Is this rom actually supporting WIFI 6 + FT (aka 802.11 r / 802.11 w / 802.11 k)?

Thanks

 

[drx64]

Yes.

Thanks to the dev for such a stable and smooth Android 12 ROM for our devices.

Can anyone let me know the best way to upgrade to the latest version given I have:

(a) Rooted my device using Magisk
(b) Installed a custom recovery (TWRP-Nebrassy) through ADB?

I'm happy to re-root the device (and reinstall the recovery) but would like to avoid having to wipe the data partition if at all possible. I'm currently running the latest version of ArrowOS 12 but the upgrade process was a bit painful.

Any advice on how to upgrade in the future would be much appreciated.

 

[Zaphyria]

Hello, should I update from Arrow11?

 

[droptech75]

I have to say this is an amazing build by devs. Hats of for them, honestly these are amazing work they are doing for us free. We should appreciate them.

Everything in this ROM is great, just one single issue I am facing last 1 week most is, "SCREEN NOT TURNING OFF EVEN AFTER 15 SECONDS OF SCREEN TIME OFF HAS BEEN SET". Any solution for this would be great. Build Number SQ1D.211205.017

 

[Chris982]

It is absolutely a great image, especially the battery consumption is perfect. My only problem despite Fw 12.5.5.0 and the current Arrow OS is that my phone doesn't ring when I call someone

 

[Make96.mg]

Quickstep crashes so much in the latest build.

I pulled a logcat.
Hopefully you can fix it palaych.

This still isn't fixed. Is this a Google problem? It needs to be fixed in the official builds beforehand?

I've been facing the same issue since December update and was hoping the January one would have a fix. My guess it's a Google problem but not sure.

 

[Chris982]

Can i see somewhere which firmware is installed? Had strange messages earlier as I reinstalled

 

[4Style]

I just did apply update from arrow recovery and on my computer typed "adb sideload <name of the firmware zip>. Then on the phone there was a warning that the package signature verification failed. I just confirmed I did want to apply the update anyway. After the flash was done, I just rebooted the phone.

If anyone stumbles across this error, when trying to flash the new firmware "This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set":

It is important, that you don't enable ADB in the settings before flashing.
Just go to Apply Update -> Apply update via ADB. Then it will work.

 

[navey]

Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this but it seems like whenever i leave my phone on for long periods of time, all of the internet on the phone no longer functions and I have to restart in order to gain connectivity. Neither Wifi nor LTE will work after this happens until I restart.

On the latest 12.5.5. Firmware for Global btw

I'm considering to update from ArrowOS 11. However, I'm held back by various reports of problems in this topic (such as the one above the post), which make me doubt if this ROM is stable 'enough' yet.

Any thoughts?

Using as daily driver since november.

No deal breaker bug faced since. Usual AOSP limitation exist and nothing else major.
- haptic not as good as miui
- brightness could have been better

So if you want you can try Android 12.

 

[bamiasHELLAS]

New build is up, any changelogg???

 

[bonerserk]

Thanks @palaych for the new build!
Gen security patch!

Started OTA update with caffeine on. (ArrowOs V12.0 | GAPPS 20 Jan 2022)

- Preparation took around 3Mins.
- Started finalizing package installation
Around 20-23 min in, it was stuck at 50%
After 30 min it goes to 51%

At around 35 min in percentage jumped to 100%
Reboot didn't take much time and OTA update was successful.

Total time was around 35-40 mins give or take few mins.

Just to be safe, Please keep Caffeine ON while updating OR just sideload the update to be safe.
