That is something difficult to understand

Are there any general "gsi patches" for this device?
In the ArrowOS thread for ZUK Z2 Pro people report many bugs that were fixed by other developers (AEX, Pixy) before. Could we collect those patches as flashable zips so that we could use them on every gsi rom?

Arrow OS V10 no too much bug,GSI just is General System Image by AOSP,It's not a fix patch.
you try you know,For android 11 GSI go to:https://sourceforge.net/projects/andyyan-gsi/files/lineage-18.x/ download lineage-18.1-20201219-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bvS-vndklite.img.xz Unzip flash the img to system Partition.with NikGapps-core-arm64-11-20201231-signed work well.

Despite the past years the Zuk is still my main phone that I use every day.
You say that the rom is fine so do you think that it can be used daily without major problems?
I currently use ArrowOs

All I can say is that it's better than any other Android 11 custom rom, you can take two hours to install it and try it out, and if you don't feel good, go back to Arrow V10. Arrow V10 is really good, and I like it, too.（But Arrow V11 is ****）

So you confuse me
I would like to try LineageOS 18 and you tell me that ArrowOs V11 is better **** (on the site, however, it is written discontinuous). Today and tomorrow I am resting, see if I can find some time.
Do home button gestures work?
Thanks to the availability.

PixelExperience_z2_row-11.0-20201212-1532-BETA-UNOFFICIAL + lineage-18.1-20210111-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bvS-vndklite + NikGapps-core-arm64-11-20210105-signed，Very smooth, because my phone's call function is broken, can someone check that this can solve the problem of PixelExperience_z2_row-11.0-20201212-1532-BETA-UNOFFICIAL calls without sound?
************************************************************************************
Fixed phone test calls have no sound, and the best match for Android 11 at the moment is Arrow-v11.0-z2_row-OFFICIAL-20200919-VANILLA + lineage-18.1-20210111-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bvS-vndklite +open_gapps-arm64-11.0-nano-20210110-TEST，that it can compensate for the Arrow V11's UI defects.

I took some time and did the Flash lineage-18.1-20210111-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bvS-vndklite.img.
The Flash of Gsi all right, for the GApps I had problems ..
With NikGapps-core-arm64-11-20201231-signed.zip the flash has stopped 2 times, twrp has closed with led on, 1 time the flash has given error 1 and once error 70, insufficient space (between one attempt and another I have always done full wipe, factory reset and redone the Gsi flasch).
So I tried with FlameGApps-11.0-basic-arm64-20210110-BETA.zip, twrp once went into forced close but after the second attempt the flash ended.
LineageOs works very well but the GApps despite the flash ended had problems: the calendar did not update, maps did not respond and the play store continued to give errors.
Gsi is a good and simple solution, I hope that the problem with the GApps can be solved soon, provided that the problem is not me

You can't flash GSI and then flash GApps, you have to boot GSI first, and then flash GApps back. All Android 11 GSI flash GApps except NikGApps core, when you log in to your Google account or restore factory settings, your phone will be constantly reboot. Only these three combinations will not reboot.

Thank you for the explanation, as I thought the problem was in the procedure, I flashed GApps without first starting Gsi.
A week of intense work awaits me but as soon as I can, I'll try again.

Thanks

With Arrow-v11.0-z2_row-OFFICIAL-20200919-VANILLA + lineage-18.1-20210111-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bvS-vndklite + NikGapps-core-arm64-11-20201231-signed.zip everything works fine. I configured the applications and did some tests, with 30% battery I had 2 hours of sot, really good, the phone is never hot (I never use it for gaming, only reading). The GApps all ok.
