[ROM] [N9] ArrowOS 12.1 | OFFICIAL [Android 12] [OTA] [OSS]

Can someone help? I want to flash ArrowOS on Noble Rom 2.2. I tried doing it, wiping the vendor, data, system, and cache, but whenever I reboot, it just leads me to Download Mode. Is there a step I missed or something?

Your answer is pretty simple
As your Sim is Jio and only works with volte in calls, won't work with AOSP ROMs on Samsung as it doesn't support volte.
You'll need to switch to a One UI ROM. If you want stock Android 10 with Some modifications you can find Alexis ROM, Dev base, and more in XDA.
And if you want android 11 or 12 One UI Port, Noble ROM is available.
Good luck
Update to stock oneui 2.5 first. And boot into it
Then from twrp
* wipe data , system , cache and vendor.
* Format data
* Flash ROM zip
* Done
Quick question, does this rom support exfat?
If it does, can anyone help me figure out why this rom keeps telling me to format it when I stick in my OTG USB-C drive? It works fine in my S22 and it used to work fine when I ran LineageOS on this phone.
Also, there was a mention in the OP of a patch to enable encryption. Was that pacth released somewhere (like on Telegram or something)?

Here is EFE (Enable Force Encryption) flashable zip
* How it works It is a very basic script that will patch the fstab to enable encryption
* How to use :
Wipe clean.
Format data to ext4.
Flash ROM.
Flash EFE
Reboot.
REMINDER: ALWAYS FLASH EFE AGAIN AFTER ROM UPDATE AND BEFORE BOOT
Warning 1: Best used with ROM that come gapps version of arrow. Some gapps (like flamegapps) can't survive the encryption and will cause a bootloop after update
Warning 2: Any ROM update will overwrite the EFE changes and the ROM wont boot.
You need to flash the zip again to boot. While it will boot fine and nothing wrong will happen I will advise to not forget to flash it (so update manually/and flash the zip)
Thanks to thenist for his help and support to make this work properly
This ROM is better than any other ROMs out there for Note 9 in terms of Battery. Of course, there are UI glitches here & there, but those are manageable. But I'm not sure if anybody else faced the same bug, I'm unable to change my keyboard. When I'm focussing an input, it doesn't show any notification/option to change keyboard. Here's a screenshot. Can you please take a look? Thanks btw
What do you mean ?
Maybe a problem with this keyboard. Gboard works fine here.
Thank you!!
Sorry but about Exfat support? Or any ideas why my OTG USB-C drive (SanDisk 512GB Ultra Dual Drive Luxe USB Type-C) doesn't mount (asks me to format it)?
It works in TWRP, I just used it to flash the encrytion zip.
I am setting this up for my niece and she needs both sim card slots. So she will rely on the USB C stick for school and stuff as the 128GB internal is not going to be enough.
Ah sorry missed exfat question, I will send you a kernel with exfat support to check if it works
Pardon me if my english is not understandable. I meant, the keyboard works perfectly fine. but when I want to change the keyboard from Gboard to lets say swiftkey keyboard, & I focus an input box, shouldn't it show a button or something where I can click to show the list of installed keyboards to select from? As you can see in the screenshot, I'm unable to change keyboard directly. Had to do some workarounds to change keyboard

What about encryption:
Flashable zip to enable encryption is in this post
How to enable encryption
I posted this in Telegram Channel :
"One important thing is the encryption thing and I know the majority voted for it to be included but I'm truly sorry to go against the majority as encryption will make my development work much slower and there will be always a risk to lose data from my side which I can't afford. So no force encryption in arrow-12.1 and it won't work unless it was forced at boot(changed in fstab).
However I'm planning to provide a flashable file that will enable encryption but it need further testing to make sure everything is working correctly.
I hope everyone understand my decision and sorry again if you don't agree with it."
