Hi Kuber, is still maintained or we need to move to A12? As i said is ok to have at least a security update once a month, but if there will be no more updates then i can install A12 too, no problem. We need to know if this is the case or not. Thank you.

Wonderfull VANILLA rom, using it with Magisk and MinMicroG-NoGoolag, fast startup and no pesky background connections so far (using afwall+ donate version), i did debloat Arrow stats (sry) / Bookmark Provider, intent verification service & "google assistant", I also uninstalled Duckduckgo + Calender + Gallery as system apps and reinstalled them as normal apps so they could be uppgraded via F-Droid, the inbuilt camera can't be updated either but I will go custom GCam / Opencam so no issue there.

There is one issue/bug i encountered so far, when installing apps from F-Droid / APK manager / etc the app icons ends up on Home Screen, but when installing apps from Aurora Store the apps do not add themself to the Home Screen!

"Add app icons to Home Screen" in ArrowOS settings = enabled.

I've tested another launcher (Lawnchair) and that one adds the apps without any issue from Aurora Store to the home screen!

Has anyone else encountered this?

edit: tested nova(7) launcher and it has the same issue as arrowos launcher, weird that Lawnchair works, it hasnt been updated since 2019.

Is it normal for the phone's charging time to increase after installing arow OS? Before, I loaded my cell phone in the factory version from 0 to 100% in 40 min, 40 min passed and from 0 to 40% in this new rom.

Installed today and seems to work fine for me as well, i had to repatch boot.img for magisk, do anyone know if magisk can survive OTA? (If so, how?)

Suddenly screen rotation does not work anymore, although automatic rotation is activated. Is there a way to fix this?

Dear kubersharma,

many thanks for your great work. I am using this beautiful ROM since summer 2021 and so far I had no problems with it. All apps I use are from F-Droid store.

Since Arrow 11 Version from December 2021 I have a problem with "Simple Mobile Tools Calendar" app and "Simple Mobile Tools Gallery" app. Both apps are included in your ROM. I cannot update both apps anymore. The update procedure in F-Droid failed with "wrong signature" or something like that. When I install the app via adb command I get the follwing error message.

$ adb install com.simplemobiletools.calendar.pro_212.apk
Performing Streamed Install
adb: failed to install com.simplemobiletools.calendar.pro_212.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE: Package com.simplemobiletools.calendar.pro signatures do not match previously installed version; ignoring!]

What can I do to fix the error?

im also using vanilla version and flashed nikgapps. then used d/gapps app from fdroid to instantly enable or disable gapps. this way is even better than microg you will get logged in all google apps instantly when you need them in my opinion because i use gapps very less. those gallery apps also get updated when we receive new os update i think.

Hello friends, I hope you can help me quickly, I probably accidentally deleted the persists partition, which is why some of the most important sensors are no longer working. Unfortunately, I can't find a persist.img file for the Poco X 3 pro that I could flash anywhere on the net☹ Where should I get it from??

persist.img is always an empty image in all firmwares for all devices !!!

You must flash the "latest" fastboot firmware according to your region (india, europe or global ... etc)

Don't use mixed regions (check your smartphone box)

You must relock the bootloader to reset your /persist partition as a new device !

(Don't forget to restore your DRM keys too after booting MIUI ... before installing any custom rom)

Reflash stock image with MiFlash?

how can this img file then be responsible for the sensors? In many forums it is written that this img file has to be flashed again so that the sensors work again and it worked again for almost everyone after flashing the persist.img again?

 

[juergen46]

Do you think that this is enough and leads to success?
Is the EU ROM a Stock ROM?
I flashed the EU ROM with TWRP but that didn't help

/persist partition is specific for each device ... persist.img in the firmware is empty and is written when you boot your device the first time.

You must return to the factory state :
LATEST OFFICIAL MIUI + BOOTLOADER LOCKED

OK. But that also means that I have to wait another 7 days to have the Poco unlocked?

must i relock the bootloader first bevor i flash the EU ROM or after flashing? By Samsung Devices wehn you lock the bootloader and boot after your Device dosn'nt start

 

[gringo80]

NO, you can still unlock it ... but if you relock it one more time you must wait 1 month

or/

use another sim + another Mi account

NO, use mi flash tool in fastboot mode :
look at the bottom, there is an option to relock the bootloader after flashing the firmware.

Be very careful to choose the right firmware for your variant !
