Installed versión 13 two days ago (dirty flash), it is very smooth. However, ram management is outrageous, my phone has only 3GB of ram. It is back to miui, everything reloads and more free ram.
To go back to version 12 a clean flash is needed?

Mine has 4GB but 1.9 is using. Check your apps. I think you should clean flash for downgrade.

I updated bromite, and cleared the cache of my apps to test for a couple more days, but it seems that this version is killing apps. Thanks.

Update: I experienced more issues, went back to a12 and phone is back to normal.

Thank you for your work :) It's just awesome, that we get to have Android 13 on a 2019 smartphone. I really like Willow and thanks to you, I don't have to replace it in order to use recent rom.

Fluency is very good. The battery performance is also very good, as can be seen in the appendix. Thx dev.

There is only one problem. The language of the device was not entirely Turkish.

I flashed this rom but I'm having screen burn in. I used to have it in reloaded too but now I'm again on reloadedOS and the screen burn isn't as bad as it was in arrow a13. If I stayed on anything for like 5 seconds, it was stuck on screen for some seconds. My brightness wasn't high and night mode didn't helped either. I wonder why this happens. Also, screen burn is not so intense in miui and reloadedOS. Can't say about other ROMs as I haven't used many of them.

What do you mean by 'burn in'?

    Its working, but battery must be above some percentage of charge, I don't know exactly how much.
    More than 10% or 15%, if you do have less than that, it will say that you don't have enough battery to use it

    ABOUT
    ArrowOS
    is an Android Open Source Project-based Android mobile operating system started with the aim of keeping things simple, clean, neat, and organized, both for the Android system and users. We added features that will be helpful in the long run, while aiming to deliver smooth performance and longer battery life. We understand the pain of unnecessary and sometimes rarely used mods/features being shipped with custom ROMs nowadays which may end up causing battery drains and/or memory leaks & crashes. This is being strictly avoided on our side keeping everything to a bare minimum, delivering stable performance all the time without destroying the AOSP interface. With users getting more used to tweaks and features, we added just the right features and customisations that will be actually USEFUL at the end of the day.
