I want to give some brief feedback on the rom
@palaych .
First, I need to mention that it's a great project and the system is running very fast and fluently (coming from an Xiaomi Mi6 with resurrection remix). As I am not a coder, I can barely overestimate how much work is involved in such a project. Big thank you to the developer team!
The installation was done according to the tutorial: Unlocked phone, then sideload of the ROM via ADB. I got some issues due to the installation process being stuck, but the second or third attempt was successful and ArrowOS booted.
Secondly, I want to to write what doesn't work (for me).
(1) Earpiece speaker
I can't get any sound from the earpiece speaker. I can be heard speaking, so the mic works. When I turn on the main speaker, I can hear the caller. This is not working neither in Whatsapp calls nor in normal phone call mode. When I receive a call, I need to change to either bluetooth headset or speaker to hear the other person.
(3) Alarm clock sound
The phone will - independent from what I chose in the settings - use some strange alarm clock sound in the morning that I can not even find in the settings.
I can not reproduce this when I put the alarm some minutes in the future (then my chosen alarm tone will go off). Maybe this is connected to the random switch offs. When put an alarm and switch the phone off, the alarm won't wake up the phone. When I switch the phone on again after the alarm, the alarm will go off after the boot and play that unknown alarm sound (not the one I chose).
(4) Switching off
The phone seems to switch itself off from time to time. I never caught it doing that, but sometimes after work or in the morning it is completely off and I need to switch it on. Battery is always between 30-80%, so it can't be the battery.
(5) Bluetooth sound (music and podcast) did not work and just gave some clicking noise. Calls via Bluetooth headset were working well at the same time. Music and podcasts worked after disabling Bluetooth A2DP harware offload in the developer settings. Thanks a lot for the hint here in the thread! (my BT headset is a Jabra Elite Sport)
(6) Proximity sensor (?)
When I e.g. listen to a voice message on Whatsapp, it's working via the speaker. When I hold it to my ear to try out the earpiece speaker, the sensor doesn't do anything but just go on playing through the speaker. Also the display doesn't turn off. It just doesn't change anything
Anyway, great rom, but some issues. I will work on those and try to fix them, but probably change the rom as I want an OS as my daily driver and especially the headpiece issue is not acceptable. Before doing that, as I seem to have more bugs than most people, I'll try a reinstallation these days, dependent on when I find time.
