FAQ about Firmware

Heya people!

Just a heads up, that we are moving to Stock Oreo's firmware, so it's better that you update to it for the upcoming Pie Roms.

Nick (GtrCraft) has already released a new GZOSP Pie build with the change (and i hope upcoming roms too) and has also made a specific zip for those who wanna update FP Firmware without going full stock.

Update to Oreo Firmware's FP firmware
Size: 582KB
From: OPS28.85-17
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262904029635

Downgrade to Nougat's FP firmware
Size: 467.8KB
From: NP25.137-33
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262904029634

Big thanks to Nick (GtrCraft) for the zips!

All upcoming Pie Roms including Nitrogen will need this latest firmware

Working Great..

Can anyone confirm me if Gcam work well? Bluetooth? Battery?
Using the ROM for more than 8 hours now without any issues. Bluetooth working fine with no drops in music playback on Bluetooth speaker. I am using the gcam minimal mod provided in arrow os FAQ. It is working properly too. Portrait mode is working. Flashed Magisk and Google pay app is working. Testing battery life, seems to be better than Pixel experience Oct Build till now. Turbocharging supported too.
Overall the ROM seems awesome. Thanks a lot developer for the hardwork. I will revert back if I find an issue. :good:

Performance wise there arent any single issues. But yes i have tested the battery for 1 day now and it's average. Better than Oct build of PE but certainly not the best. Haven't tried any other kernel till now. Added battery stats in screenshot.

Are you able to run Snapchat on this natively (so does this pass Safetynet) or do you need to install Magisk?

How's the performance/RAM management of this compared to Arrow? I'm running Arrow Oreo right now and am having problems with my only 2gb RAM.

Arrow Pie OS with extended kernel seems to be the best as of now.

I don't use snapchat and you need Magisk to pass safety net.
Sorry haven't used Arrow Oreo os so can't comment on that.

A major update to the ROM is peeps
-> A lot of changes from Nitrogen Sources (November patches , a few more tweaks and optmizations)
-> Rootless substratum support added from my side

Project will slowly start getting few extra mods and tweaks other than what's on default by NOS just like Oreo

The download link has been updated in the OP
Have a good day ;)
