Development [ROM][OFFICIAL] ArrowOS [Android 12][sweet]

[itskaran007]

Flashed the 12.1 vanilla ROM last night, so far pretty happy with it.
Really minimal without Google installed, all of the phone functions have worked fine without additional tweaks/modules.

Flashed the ROM and charged to 100% (rapid charging appears to be working, certainly rapid enough):
7h 46m of tweaking, installing apps and sitting idle while I slept.
4h 41m of streaming video.
Left the phone at 56%.
Battery life has been no worse than the stock MIUI13 the phone came with.

Took a few attempts to get it installed without errors, method that worked for me, the reboots seemed to matter:

Flashed it using [email protected]_2 coming straight from MIUI13.
Format data.
Reboot to recovery.
Wipe dalvik/cache/data.
Reboot to recovery.
Flash ROM.
Reboot to recovery.
Format data.
Reboot to device.

Possible bug:
The SD card becomes unusable/invisible if I select the option to format it purely for the phone to use, however it reappears and works fine if I format it as storage I can transfer between devices.

Good job on the ROM, sleek and functional.

How to flash this Rom?

Flashed orange fox Bet R11.1_2 using fastboot but the same recovery is wiped by my Pixel Experience Rom Everytime i reboot & pixel experience stock recovery is installed automatically, Also I don't use SD Card,
Is there a way to flash this rom using adb sideload & fastboot?
If not, then please help me with proper installation method to flash this rom, as i'm not able to find any info on how to flash this rom.
Any help is appreciated, TIA
P.S. I'm Currently on Pixelexperience Rom 12.1

Update
Successfully Installed Orange Fox, But Unable to Mount/Wipe Data Cache, How to go forward?

WARNING: I'm super new at this so assume I'm wrong and do your research before breaking the phone based on my advice!!.

Looks like plenty of people have done it, I've never tried it so I can't tell you how it's done as I've only installed from sdcard.

If I was going to do it personally, I'd start watching a few video guides to learn how it's done and just adjust that to use the specific firmware etc. that the note 10 pro needs.

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=arrow+os+adb+sideload+

Also keep in mind that those vids all seem to be using TWRP, so you might want to try installing that first or bookmark the OrangeFox wiki for if you get some errors.

https://wiki.orangefox.tech/en/guides

For your reverting to Pixel stock recovery problem, not sure what's going on there...maybe the OrangeFox one isn't installing properly. There's a video guide on Page.6 (I think) where a guy goes through a complete ROM install and has trouble getting TWRP in stay installed after reboot but fixes it.
You might find out what's happening by watching the part where he fixes his problem...the OrangeFox wiki has a section about installing it via. fastboot, might be worth trying and checking for errors.

Good Luck with it.

there is no doubt this custom rom is the best for redmi note 10 pro , no bloatware , to trash , light weight , fast , almost no obvious bugs , and it doesnt have any stupid game apps or silly chrome browser built into its system files , that makes it really amazing , the only wish i have is the mi stock camera app , if it can be added to the rom , it will be 100% perfect ,
crDroid have this as an advanatge to your rom , this is the only advantage in my humble opinion

@daniml3 ,

Firstly thank you for this amazing ROM.

Latest ROM i downloaded for the first time: Arrow-v12.1-sweet-OFFICIAL-20221116-VANILLA.zip

Everything looks ok so far, except Fingerprint. When i go to setup fingerprint, it asks for password/pattern, after entering, it crashes back to the Security Menu.
I captured log from Scoop as the crash happened:

Why is this happening? Latest changelog says: - Enabled fingerprint tap/press to unlock settings, perhaps this is a bug that occured on top of that fix?
Is anyone else experiencing this on Arrow-v12.1-sweet-OFFICIAL-20221116-VANILLA.zip ?
Im also not sure if the fingerprint worked in Arrow-v12.1-sweet-OFFICIAL-20221102-VANILLA as i didnt try it.
Is it at all possible to fix this by editing com.android.settings/com.android.settings.biometrics.fingerprint.FingerprintEnrollIntroduction and setting a color without flashing a new version ROM? Or if there is an easier way....


On another note, I spent all day trying to flash MindTheGapps-12.1.0-arm64-20220605_112439.zip on this ROM, I havent experienced such an aggravating gapps flashing experience in my life before.
After 2 days of constant testing and trying to figure out whats going on, i decided to test the test builds arm64 12L pico from OpenGapps from ipdev https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ndroid-versions-devices.3098071/post-86595145 and sure enough it worked like a charm.
Il be sure to post my experience about this on the OpenGapps thread.

 

[SaulPanzer]

I flashed the 20221025.zip VANILLA ROM and had no issues with fingerprint enrolment (initial setup one worked and adding an additional fingerprint also works) so I guess this is a recent issue.

The 20221116 update is still pending for me, I didn't want to update until the tires were kicked by people or I'd checked the changelog for this device specifically which I couldn't find.

If stored fingerprints persist over an update then flashing that older ROM and updating might be a workaround, I can't add any technical help.

 

[Beast14]

Well !! after tons of searching i found a workaround to this issue.
If you disable "com.google.android.setupwizard" (App Name: Android Setup) - you will be able to enroll for the fingerprint.
reference link, someone else had the same issue on other phones.

Now im not sure how related this bug is to the actual ROM, or of its related to the GAPPS package. Any ideas @daniml3 ?

I have same problem with you. No idea how to turn it off. Tried to turn off it location setting but unable since it's greyed-out. Other than that, ROM is good and I love it

I'm not 100% sure this is your issue, but maybe consider flashing the GMS Doze module through Magisk. At least you will be able to restrict Google Play Services' battery usage.

I have the exact same issue.. I used greenify for a few days, but the drain continues! I can use the browser for 10 minutes after a full charge and 15% battery gets consumed.. I'm only looking in forums, etc. that are reading only, without videos or pictures.... Not even using the higher fps. I ticked the lower one as I don't really use for gaming, videos or anything that would need the higher fps..

 

[loumiakas]

Out of curiosity, does someone use any applications related to Apple Airpods like OpenPods, AndroPods or MaterialPods with this ROM? If so, is battery of airpods and its case reported to you?

I was using Ricedroid when I wrote that message, and at least on that ROM, it was enough to use what I mentioned to get rid of the idle drain. Now I'm trying ArrowOS as well because I was having trouble with Ricedroid, and I'm also experiencing a weird, inconsistent idle drain. Lost 0% on the first night, lost 10% on the second night with the same (?) conditions (GMS Doze, Naptime, full idle for around 7 hours). So yeah it's definitely weird. I will consider flashing Sleepy if this continues and I'll see what happens.

Don't use the newest version of arrow... That's the one I'm I using and terrible battery drain... Use the stable version prior to the newest release..

 

[Kalaoras]

I had the same problem (extreme battery drain) and then looked into the battery usage stats. It was Google services that was responsible for the battery drain.
So thought it shouldn't be the rom, but Gapps.
I flashed the latest BitGapps (version 1.8) found here https://www.pling.com/p/1864363/ and don't have problems since then.

Just wondering, did you install this on Vanilla or on the GApps release? I tried flashing an open GApps package along with vanilla ArrowOS, but it gave me "not enough" space errors, which is odd.

Thank you for the tip anyways, will try this at some point! How long have you tried this for?

 

[Kalaoras]

I'm using this ROM (Vanila version) for 6 months now in 6 devices (having installed it in my company's devices too) and it has tuned out the most stable rom except the last release with the battery drain problem.
I'm installing everything through the micro SD, never bumped into "not enough space errors".

In one device I had several installation issues and what worked for me, was to install the CRdroid ROM, then wiped everything and cleaned installed the Arrow (Vanilla) with BitGapps; that worked.

It's because they are late with update that spoofs correctly. This happens whenever the "pixel phone" aosps are spoofing wants to connect to Google service and cannot because the spoofing has run out. I fear they discontinued the device...sigh

Is this the end of ArrowOS for our device? Or just preparing for Android 13 release?

As I understand this is the end (at least for now). The OP had a thread of ArrowOS beta of 13, but it seems dead now.

In my opinion this ArrowOS ROM is the best for sweet. Thanks @daniml3 for this one.
