Hello, guys. I have been super busy so I may not be posting anything on XDA and hardly anything over my TG channels. OTAs will keep releasing/builds will be up on the website.
ALSO:
I do not own the Xiaomi Keyboard, it seems the latest changes broke it for some users which should be fixed in the latest release.

A lot of people are asking me if this is a good tablet for art or not. I am a simple man and have very basic tablet needs. I do not own a pen (too expensive) nor can I draw something good. Please, can someone with a pen or knowledge of apps which works best for artists give their short insights so I can refer people here?

I just sideloaded the latest ArrowOS (2022-11-14) and the problem with the pitch in Google Meet is solved. Thank you

Pen works definitely better than miui. Im a daily user and here's my little review:
1. The palm rejection works much, i mean really much better than miui
2. I love that i doesn't even have to connect the pen with bluetooth to use it (which mean i could just pick it up and straight away use it)
3. Don't worry even though bluetooth connection is no longer needed in ArrowOS, the pen is still charging normally

Hi, just sharing my flash experience:
I was in EEA 13.1.3 and tried flashing to Arrow 13 ... with no sucess, device was only able to boot in recovery or fastboot (fortunately), after some research it seems that trying installing from 13.0.4 avoid issues.
I could downgrade to 13.0.4 and then, reflash from the beginning .... and everything went as expected , it's so cool !!
Watch out, it can happen that 13.1.3 is not the best starting point.
Thanks @kubersharma001 ! Awesome job

I flashed it from EEA 13.1.3 and it works perfectly so you might have made a mistake flashing it! In case anyone is worrying about downgrading first.

1)when I installed AdAway, the videos didn't work (on tiktok and youtube)
2) when I tried to root my tablet went into bootloop, I had to do it all over again and instead of flashing the recovery, I flashed the patched magisk image
3) after installing this rom it locked the bootloader, how do you unlock it? since in addition to the rom I want to install other things with fastboot (like costum recovery)

Hello there.

I'm trying to install ArrowOS 12.1 but I'm kinda lost: in the guide it's written "Now flash boot.img and vendor_boot.img", but in the ArrowOS Recovery folder there is one file called
"boot.img"
and the two other files called
"boot_nabu_w-skippkgverification-13-arrow-beta.img"
"vendor_boot_nabu_w-skippkgverification-13-arrow-beta.img"
so I don't really know which files I'm supposed to flash..

Can someone tip me in the right direction?

    yeah, faced the bootloop issue myself, debugging and probably will be fixed with next update as maybe I think I know why that glitch

    anyways, new update soon (maybe today or later tonight)

    Also, I have decided not to renew my website next time around maybe, so I moved everything to medium

    In case I am the first trying this:
    I was on MIUI 14 CN Stable Dev Android 13 (unrooted) exactly as described below under firmware, and then flashed ArrowOS 13 accordint to the guide. Everything works out of the box without any issues: Pen, Keyboard (After activation under Bluetooth Settings), WIFI6, Audio (Dolby?)

    Therefore I can verify this works flawlessly:
    • Firmware: nabu_images_V14.0.22.12.21.DEV_20221221.0000.00_13.0_cn_140cca658d.tgz
    • ROM: ArrowOS 13 GAPPS 3. January

    Maintainers and the ArrowOS team: You guys are genious! Much love to you guys

    Hello guys,

    Do you know If It is posible to update the build without losing any data? Since there isnt any twrp for mi pad 5, the only way to update It is through flashing it with fastboot?

    Also, is the last build, the one of Jan 3 stable?

    Thank you
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    I don't have an answer to the first one because of all the issues on the installation phase but in general, it does update without any data loss. There is a recovery but the interface isn't visible. Jan 3 is stable so far for me.

    Latest ArrowOS 13.0 update is here for Mi Pad 5 (nabu) By kubersharma001, LynnrinChan and ganeshvarma

    Mi Pen and Mi Keyboard both work
    High pitched audio issues on voice should be fixed
    Other improvements and changes

    Have any issues flashing? Read the goddamn instructions post https://kubersharma001.com/arrowos-for-xiaomi-pad-5-nabu

    What firmware to use? Any that works for you if you can't decide to use whatever your region 's fw is. I see a lot of people blindly flashing CN fw.

    Support: kubersharma001chat and Lynnrin_group (on telegram)

    PS: When downloading select arrow-13 and OFFICIAL tabs not experimental🤦‍♂
    Do not flash stupid mods that break system and come back to me complaining. If you wanna mod, learn to deal with it.
