You can download ArrowOS Recovery if you like or use other 3rd party recoveries

FAQ::

Tip: If you are new to custom ROMs, I would suggest taking a TWRP backup/partition backup (usually: persist, efs, firmware partitions, etc) saved in your cloud or computer.

Q1: How can I update to a new update?
A1: Flash ArrowOS recovery and download and install the update from the OTA Updater application OR Download from arrowos.net [codename: vayu] boot to TWRP and flash it; if you are using ArrowOS recovery, copy build zip to external storage (sdcard, USB otg etc) and install via "Apply system update option"
If you are on PC, you can also use adb sideload while being on recovery

Q2: Why is Mi8 (dipper)/walleye oreo or any other device's build fingerprint and desc props/values are used?
A2: As most of the custom ROM users might be aware that SafetyNet cannot pass with devices own build fingerprint props due to the multiple checks or other aspects which is unknown, done by the OEM/Google which fails hence nowadays devices are generally spoofed with build fingerprint and description props of devices which passes CTS/SafetyNet like from a device with Android Oreo or Pre Android Oreo (walleye oreo; mi8 oreo, etc) or from latest Pixels (like redfin)
This device as of now uses Mi8 (dipper) build fingerprint and description to pass SafetyNet!
(In future release: It can change to Pixels or some other device too just to "Pass SafetyNet checks") hence don't consider this as some lame reason to spam or message about.

Q3: Facing ghost touch issues on your device?
A3: This issue has been recognized by Xiaomi as a fault in their MIUI firmware, I am not yet sure if this is completely a hardware fault or just a firmware fault with specific variants
I have an Indian 8/128 variant and I never faced such issues.
Since Xiaomi does not release newer changes done to the kernel source, we are stuck with the initial R source release hence we don't know what changes they made to fix it on MIUI if they ever did
But, some people have fixed ghost touch issues by :
* Flashing MIUI 12.0.4.0/12.0.6.0 full MIUI rom, booting to it, setup up everything (like registering the fingerprint, etc), and then moving to custom ROMs.

[* Using 120hz? (not confirm but 2 users have suggested doing this has solved sluggish touch issues for them)]

If this method works for you do not update firmware unless you are sure that will work
This is not a global issue, only a limited number of people face it!
Also, users have faced ghost touch issues on MIUI 12.5.3.0+ versions aswell, so this is not something custom from related! It is hardware/firmware level

Do not report bugs with mods or custom kernels.

Thank You So much man for providing this Rom. Please include Miui or Oneplus camera in your Rom. Because Oneplus Camera is just Love . Now we have same ISP and 48mp camera which is on Oneplus. So having a Oneplus port on Poco X3 Pro would be charm

Thanks for the rom buddy

Its official arrowos so don't think adding a different camera is allowed on official build... I could be wrong

I understand

This isn't LineageOS but I'll take any AOSP rom over this MIUI crap. Thanks... I'm really just tired of my OnePlus 7T which crapped on me after the Android 11 OTA update, and I'm ready to just make my X3 Pro my daily driver.

Hi, does this rom have call recoder like miui (auto record all call without alert sound).

I doubt it since it's an AOSP clean ROM. You'll have to install it after you flash the ROM or find another call recorder app.

Call recording is there for country's which do not ban/disallow it, and auto call recording won't be added to comply legal restrictions

...ArrowOS is an AOSP/CAF based project started with the aim of keeping things simple, clean and neat.

I just flashed the Gapps version ROM; I thought the boot animation was cute, and I'm relieved that you included 2-button gestures, oh how I've longed for that feature since switching to my OnePlus 7T. A minimalistic clean AOSP experience w/o all the clutter that MIUI perpetuates ... One question: will this ROM present me w/ a notification once a new update is available sort of like how LineageOS does it?
... Time to sell my OnePlus 7T

Yes it will.
AOSP removed 2 button nav as it messed with some aspects but we added this back for now

[GUIDE][UNLOCK][ROOT] How to unlock bootloader, flash ArrowOS v11.0 ROM and root Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro

If you've recently purchased a Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro, but were on the fence about using it until an AOSP ROM became available then you're in luck. Kudos to @kubersharma for his contribution by providing us the first official AOSP release, ArrowOS...

Anybody else getting any crackling/sound distortion during audio playback? For me, it occurs across every app I use that emits audio, even when callers are on speakerphone. However, this doesn't happen while listening to phone calls w/ my phone to my ear.

So I realized there was an update (dated for 04/26/2021) that popped up this morning on my device and after flashing the "compatible recovery" (vayu ArrowOS Recovery) in fastboot mode and rebooting my device to let the update automatically install, that in itself seems to have resolved my issue. Hopefully this helps out anyone who's experiencing a similar situation.

---Edit---

So after some further research, I was able to pinpoint that the app known as Boldbeast which I use to record my phone calls was the culprit. Installing their "CallRecordingFix" module by way of Magisk was what caused the unintended result that produced the crackling/sound distortion audio playback through my speakers, and come to find out I never needed to install it in the first place .

First of all, thanks for the ROM.
And i have a query that is if you can provide the device, vendor and kernel trees links too.
