I've flashed v13.1 and camera portrait mode says: Can't connect camera.
It's not in stable yet, the very point of using an experimental version is to provide a detailed log to show what needs to be fixed, you'll want a uevent, kernel and logcat to help him with that. If you are not just one of those who "why haven't you fixed it yet, you owe me for using something you don't get paid for" kinda guys.

At download site 13.1 it says offical build, experimental version is selective download, so i guess its stable but not sure too

1 day using it, pretty god performance and battery stability on ginkgo. Just a silly question. Is voLTE working? I'm not able to get it working but I'm pretty sure that the problem comes from my mobile service provider. Has anyone else with the same terminal checked if the voLTE works?

My dad has this phone (8T/willow) and I'd like to get it updated for him. He's on ArrowOS 12.1 currently. I know a wipe and clean flash will be required to go to 13.1 but what recovery are people running at the moment? I notice OrangeFox is no longer supported so I assume the latest official TWRP? Or is there an unofficial OrangeFox available? Thanks

Still same problem with the camera as v13.0 ... "Camera error" "Still can't connect to camera. Try restarting your device."

Orangefox isn't supported? Where did you see that?

Hello all, Thanks to the developers for great job. The ROM is very smooth and functional.
I noticed a small bug, When I connect to a Bluetooth headset sometimes it's not shown in the status bar and the Bluetooth button. After restart it's is shown.
Thanks.

So I have used Derpfest and was not sucha good idea, apps crashed randomly and camera issues.
Installed Arrow 2 days ago and wow really impressed.. So far cannot find a problem, all my apps work and banking apps. Linked apps to bluetooth with no problem. I use it as my daily so great overall.
I am now trying to see how far I can stretch the battery, at the moment on 26hrs on a charge.
Great ROM

Very good rom, only in handsfree mode turns off the microphone for calls. The other party can't hear me. In normal conversation it's fine. Regards

Fake , top mic broke, sorry for jumping to conclusions too quickly. Regards

Does the ROM have native support to the "App locker" feature, in security settings?

EDIT: Yes.

    EDL mode recovery
    Phone status: Unable to enter BootLoader or fastboot mode, it automatically shuts down 1 second after booting.
    Tools: Ultimate Multi Tool – QcFire (UMT-QcFire requires hardware dongle.), miflash pro (requires authorized personnel account login)
    Preparation: Install the Qualocomm driver. I used miflash pro for one-click installation.

    1. Enter the edl mode of the phone and connect it to the computer (the port in the device manager shows Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008).
    2. Open UMT-QcFire or miflash pro for recovery. (I am using UMT-QcFire. But both tools require authorization, and some older devices may not require authorization).
    3. UMT-QcFire select the flash option, select Multi Program Mode, select the images of the firmware package in Firmware, and click flash to recovery.

    Precautions & error:
    1.
    (turn off phone, hold vol up+ vol down and insert usb cable. some phones may need special boot cable or testpointfor edlmode)
    This is a communication error on port 9008. Please re-enter edl mode. I turned off the phone and connected it to the computer, then shorted the edl point again and re-entered.
    2.
    Forbidden Application [03] Detected!
    UMT-QcFire's self-protection function prevents packet capture and cracking. If relevant packet capture software is detected, this error message will be reported.(Wireshark/Charles/Fiddler/winpcap)
    Here I did not install the packet capture tool and this error occurred (maybe it was caused by my previous installation but not clean uninstallation.)
    The solution is to install winpcap and then uninstall it. (Generally there will be problems during the installation of winpcap, please solve it and complete the installation)
    If that still doesn't work, try a clean computer or virtual machine.

    About authorization:
    Authorization is probably the most troublesome point in the EDL mode recovery system. I chose a relatively cheap merchant in Taobao to purchase this authorization before I could continue.
    You can consider asking xiaomi after-sales service to inquire whether you are willing to provide an authorized account, or look for an authorized merchant to purchase.

    Hi! Check if it's the app issue. Try opening gmail in a browser in your device and send some emails, make some drafts, delete emails, etc.
    If it's working fine then it's an app issue. Delete the app (or delete updates if you can't uninstall), try using the app. If it works then the problem was latest update.
    If it doesn't then i have no clue. This is one of the most weird issue I have seen.
    I just noticed that the last email I received was a month ago.
    From July 26.
    Alhamdulillah managed to fix the issue by deleting app data. After deleting app data, I have to re login, re set all settings. And now, I am receiving new mail and managed to send some out.
    Thanks for your tips. It is useful..

    Hi, I don't know if it was after installing TWRP Recovery, or Magisk, after, Bluetooth did not work. I wonder if I installed an incompatible recovery or magisk. which recovery and root application are you using. Can you also give information about which version? Thanks.
    Try reflashing firmware

    I am getting the same message in English, occasionally. Gingko
    The solution to that is to not use the ****ty native camera. Use gcam.

    ... interesting and congrats! Would you mind posting here (or elsewhere) how you did this (step-by-step)? Could be helpful also for others who run into the very same calamities.
    sure. However, there is one thing about DEL mode recovery that requires an authorized account or hardware dongle. I chose to spend about $1 to purchase a license before I could continue.

    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.
