[ROM][lavender][12.0] ArrowOS [OFFICIAL]

[Mattiam2]

I don't know why nobody posted about this rom for Redmi Note 7, so I'll post about it.
I've discovered it randomly and loved it! It's one of the few maintained Android 12 stable roms out there!

I agree, I've been running their Android 11 rom for almost a year now and it's been rock solid.

I already have latest MIUI on my Redmi Note 7S. Do I have to Download and Flash MIUI again before Flashing ArrowOS ?

Hello

I had xiaomi.eu latest beta for Note 7.

So then I did the installation as the Installation guide says.
Now I have likely endless boot logo. I waited half or an hour, then I restarted the phone.

How long should I wait first time?

Is there any different different Installation method? Maybe?

I dont know please help.

 

[Somna7h]

MIUI 12.5.1 India.
Endless Loop Arrow Logo.

I made it somehow.

I have changed the kerner to Predator-Stormbreaker-10.0-QTI.zip(For Roms with QTI Haptics like Arrow Official) (SourceForge Link)

And unfortunetly I had to make a internal data format to becouse of encryption

Then I did the install process but skipped the "Flash the latest official MIUI" part.

Why is this part in anyway?

 

[Somna7h]

Did you format the data partition after flashing this ROM?

No. Actually I already had latest MIUI so I just Wipe and Flash ArrowOS ROM from Oragefox and then Reboot.

 

[matthias1976]

U have to Format Data. Otherwise not boot.
Format data u loose ur data !!

Just wipe (and format) data and cache, then you can flash on it

 

[Mattiam2]

I've updated it. I've forgotten about that

 

[matthias1976]

Wipe and Format arent same thing

 

[Mattiam2]

Wipe and Format arent same thing

You are right, I've always meant both with only "wipe", my bad

 

[drdagi]

With this rom its feels like I have a new phone.
Smooth and fast.

 

[Somna7h]

Wipe and Format arent same thing

I should only Wipe Data and Cache then without Reboot Flash ArrowOS ROM ?

 

[Mattiam2]

I should only Wipe Data and Cache then without Reboot Flash ArrowOS ROM ?

Wipe Data and Cache, then use the Format Data function from the recovery (it's essential this part). Then you can flash Arrow OS.

 

[Somna7h]

Wipe Data and Cache, then use the Format Data function from the recovery (it's essential this part). Then you can flash Arrow OS.

So Wipe Data and Cache, then use the Format Data function from custom recovery but between these no System Reboot. Right ?

Exactly. Wipe, Format, Flash MIUI (if you haven't the last) and then flash Arrow OS. Only at the end of this you can reboot in Arrow OS.

 

[matthias1976]

There no need to flash miui first.
Latest global FW is enough i think
