Development [ROM][OFFICIAL] ArrowOS [Android 11][sweet]

[andynx1]

Is this ROM still maintained? Or should I look at upgrading to Android 12? I've heard some bad stories about that ROM, so rather stick with Android 11.

+1

I'm sticking with 11 for that same reason.

The only problem I have on 11, is my battery drain as detailed above. But it could be that my battery isn't functioning correctly, as when the problem first started, it wasn't after any upgrade.

such as?

I've been sticking with Arrow 12 vanilla + microg for a while, switched to 12.1 gapps build rn for some testing. Pretty good experience overall on both versions(lack of monet customisation option on 12.1 kinda sucks, but I assume it'll be re-added later, plus it's not really a big deal for me).

such as?

Battery drain has been widely reported (25% overnight), and ages ago there were stability issues.

I see

As I said before I never really experienced stability issues with ArrowOS as a whole, and last time I didn't leave my phone charging overnight, the drain was a whopping...1%, so yeah

man why do you have to give us google app and digital wellbeing preinstalled?
if we wanted them we would install them
make the gapps as minimal as possible and everything is available i am assuming on the play store, is it not?

also the vanilla build has many useless apps that i can't uninstall can only disable, you left me with no choice

u can use flyme gapps with the "flamegapps-config.txt".

the config file will uninstall digital wellbeing or not install, dunno, i don´t like/want it as well and it´s not there

Will this ROM continue to receive updates?

I have tried a lot of custom ROM and for my use this one is the best! With gapps it's like pixel experience without annoying battery drain issue.

Hi everyone,
I'm struggling with something, I can't find any way to prevent app to auto close / hibernate while in background. For ex, if I'm watching a video on YouTube, moving to another app (Firefox, or anything), if I move back to YouTube, it's relaunching from scratch and not taking back the video I was watching. Same issue for almost all apps. I turned off battery saving on the phone, battery optimisation for specific app, battery management... but it doesn't change a thing. Any clue ?

Thanks !

Samsung s9+ issue with USB connection. Charging this device then clicked down arrow, tab more options, file transfer and phone re-boots. Tried 3 times and it did work. Other option MIDI works fine. PTP also re-boots phone not working.

Issue now resolved by going to settings, connected devices, then select file transfer. It now works also from notication drop-down accessing from top.

I do not have this issue. When I go back youtube the video is paused and when I click the play button, it starts from the same location it was paused.

Thanks for feedback. Still looking how to correctly manage this kind of settings

Hi All. Android 11 rom isn't maintained for my phone anymore. I wonder how fast arrowos drops support for their roms? Don't want to flash new Android version every year to be honest

Yep, same problem here, pretty disappointing.
Additionally, I miss a good camera on non-stock ROM. GCam just doesn't cut it.
Very time consuming all of this.

I've switched back to stock ROM.

I have a Redmi Note 10 Pro with ArrowOS A11, unmodified and TWRP 3.6.0. I received a message from Google that I am missing security updates. The last security update I have is 5 February 2022.

• Can I install the security updates myself and if so, how?
• Alternatively I could install ArrowOS A12.1 but I am not sure how to do this if TWRP is not compatible with A12.

Could I install A12.1 by doing the following?
- boot to TWRP
- wipe cache/system/data
- flash Arrow-v12.1-sweet-OFFICIAL-20220624-GAPPS.zip
- boot to TWRP again
- do a factory reset
- reboot to system ... and setup the new android 12 system

If not, is there some other way of doing it?
Thanks.

There is an A12 compatible twrp for the Note 10 Pro, I don't have a link, but check the XDA Note 10 Pro forums.

It's strange that there are no more security updates for Android 11 ROM, as the phone is quite new and support seems to be dropped too early. Especially knowing that one can't update to ArrowOS Android 12 without a need to flash a new ROM and setup the phone again, from scratch.

I guess it's the best to avoid Xiaomi phones in the future and purchase phones with "clean-ish" Android supported by producer.

Or live with Miui

If you're rooted, backup your apps and settings with alpha backup pro to micro sd, backup your internal storage with mixplorer as zip archive to micro sd, flash Android 12 (recommend lineage 19L) root with magisks canary 25.1 and restore all backups....
It takes a maximum of 2 hours and you'll be happy....
