If u r on latest stock 8.1 then u dont need to worry about fp and nfc.

Just clean flash arrow os for the first time, and from there on u can dirty flash the subsequent updates.

I think the OP has suggested to use micro gapps.

Please dont forget to take back up of efs, persist (I say backup each and every partition) using twrp in case u find urself in water u can restore anytime and avoid Blood pressure attack.;)
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] pa1rth2:
Hahahaha sure, got you sir and does new version of TWRP has the option to back of efs and persist?
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rajeshkoshti:
I m not sure whether nandroid takes efs and persist backup too! Bt twrp does - this i am sure.

If u r asking abt how to come to arrow frm stock the process is mentioned below:- (watch youtube vids and go through xda threads before doing anythng)

1) unlock bootloader

2) install/flash twrp via adb

3) boot into twrp and select 'backup' thr u can tick/select the checkboxes including efs and persist.

4) dwnld arrow os latest version along with micro gapps (as stated in the OP)

5) boot into twrp and wipe - data,system,dalvik, cache and finally install arrow os+gapps...reboot! Profit.

I m nt responsible for any mishap that may occur with ur mobile/e-money etc or if ur girlfrnd leaves u coz ur phone didnt ring due to bugs in the rom. Do it only if u understand wht u r doing.

All d best.:good:

CHANGELOGS:

8th December, 2018

From last few weeks team discussions we’re bringing in few changes to our weeklies startegy.The weeklies now will be moved to bi-weeklies. Which means there will be update after the android security bulletin starting each month and the second update will be within next 10-14 days of first update. Overall two updates per month. We are at this stage that the changes to source are not very dynamic as compared to early PIE release days, rather pretty stable. This is to give us and the maintainers more firm control over the changes being introduced and enough time to test them out for a more refined and stable update to our users. Having written that, the critical updates related with specific device will be released as and when required. Moreover, from our stats we are noticing that few devices still have huge userbase on ArrOW Oreo and hence for these devices we will provide the Oreo updates with latest securrity patch merged and misc fixes.

Android Security patch Level : 5 Dec 2018

Option to unlink ringtone and notification sound

Keymaster updates

Fix high battery drain after using flashlight

DownloadProvider: allow more redirects

DownloadProvider: ability to pause/resume downloads

Prevent crash when multiple Screenshot request is made

LatinIME: Fix dicttool build

Latin IME bug with deleted text will reappear after screen orientation changes

Fixing layouts and adding 5th row to QWERTZ

LatinIME: Fix to English dictionary can be added after deleting

Add 5th number row to keyboard.

Launcher: Add back button to Settings

Launcher: Move package icon to the end if the preference

Translations

Rremoved Turbo

device related fixes, kernel upstream

[MENTION=7174278]kubersharma[/MENTION],

Do u think this "EAS" can b implemented for Moto G5 Plus to experience performance and efficiency on ArrOW OS?

This kernel claims to have implemented EAS, do u suggest with our ROM we can give it a try?

I have never seen 4+ hours of screen on time on my device..so I am curious.:)
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] viren_kk:
lost volte

i updated to the latest build from updater, but i lost my fingerprint and nfc, i read through the forums and op mentioning about flashing oreo stock and then re flashing the latest arrow os 9 to get fingerprint and nfc back. I did that, however, i lost volte (its a 4g only sim - so am basically on no network) , i have a back up of efs and persist from nougat!

- stock oreo twrp flashable mentioned in first post doesnt give me volte either

so any help would be appreciated :) - kinda dying without network ! :crying:

Thanks for the awesome ROM.

[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] sinchan_nohara:
As Kabir mentioned in telegram group:

Go to settings, then apps. Hit the three dots on the upper right corner of your screen and select 'show system apps'. Then scroll down and find this app called Data transfer tool, tap on it and clear data, then force stop it. Finally, disable the app completely, also uninstall the APKpure app if you have it. Download notifications should work instantpy after that no need to restart your phone.

Its name may have been changed to android setup.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] pa1rth2:
Yep but i forgot to mention that when i freshly shifted to this rom the system setup type of thing pissed me with its notification so i disabled it (the thing which i disabled had a function to restore my apps, acc and offer a customization of wallpaper,font etc) so could it be happening because of this?
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rajeshkoshti:

1) Device is HD capable (which is resolved after ims.zip)

2) Android/System setup

I flashed optimus drunk yesterday. Had 1% drain overnight. WiFi was turned off at night. Optimus is working better than Arrow's kernel. Don't know how it compares to Extended as I said I only flashed it yesterday. Even Extended is great.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] guillermohs9:
How did you restore Arrow's kernel? Reflashing the build over the installation? I am on Optimus and battery is maybe a little better but my launcher sometimes freezes and I have to reboot.

Hello........i am on stock 8.1 oreo and i have basically did nothing to my phone and i want to install this rom but without root.......i just wanted to get my facts and procedures straighted out before i wreck anything to get a functioning arrow os

1. unlock bootloader

2. install twrp

3. wipe everything

4. Do i or do i not boot into the android OS again????

5. using twrp flash rom and gapps

6. reboot and i am done right?

pls correct me if i am wrong....my only other previous rooting experience was with my old galaxy tab with odin
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rajeshkoshti:
1) Boot into TWRP - backup - select Boot partition.

This will create a backup file of the present kernel.

After trying a new kernel you can restore the backup file.

Easy!:good:;)

I noticed two bugs, the first one on the Moto camera, when opening the video mode when it is set to 1080p/30 a green screen appears and the application closes, in other modes this does not happen. The second bug occurs in the multitasking, I have an app open and lock the screen, when I do the unlock appears a black screen, it is necessary to go back to the home screen and open the app again. These bugs did not occur in older versions of ROM, in the last builds the problems are present, I always do clean installation.

Debdeep, try a clean flash.

I knw u may alrdy be aware of the process bt dont forget to wipe cache, dalvik, system and data.

Finally u can flash ur files i.e.

1) flash arrow OS

2) flash gapps (micro recommended)

3) finally flash latest magisk (if u want root), after booting install magisk manager.

All the best.

[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rajeshkoshti:
There is a minor issue - not a bug actually.

:- Normally status bar shows two sim signals with dual sims, but when the quick setting tiles are expanded it shows only one network signal icon instead of two. (I think it shows only sim 1 singal).

:)

One more thing I want to discuss here,

Since I was not getting battery performance up to my expectations, I switched on the "Battery Saver" mode and found out that it really improved battery life by at least +2 hours SOT without any issues. So I have been keeping the Battery Saver on from the last two weeks and apart from delayed g-mails I have not seen any problem at all, EVERYTHING WORKS AS IT SHOULD (calls, sms, whtsapp, play store notifications etc). Now My question is, is there anything I am missing by keeping the battery saver always on. While charging battery saver automatically turns off. When I feel like now I am at home and I can afford wasting some juice in the background i simply turn battery saver off for a while only to turn it on again:laugh:.

Please experts, enlighten me!
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] wastedige:
In my case even with battery saver being constantly on I'm getting pretty subpar battery life.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rajeshkoshti:
Try installing GSam Battery Monitor from play store. Let it have 1-2 charging cycles and then check the app you'll get to know which app is sucking the juice:good:

Arrow has so many features to enjoy but when we look at Potter's display its clearly poor, colors are sooo dull and lifeless. Yesterday was just comparing our display with Zenfone max pro M1 :laugh: man...we really need to do something. At least patch our kernel with KCAL MD5 so we can install "Kernel Adiutor" play with RGB and saturation values.

Please man Kubu do something.!

What information does this app offer that Android's own battery manager doesn't show? This is what I'm getting from battery manager:

Google play service (19%)

Maps: 44 mins (17%)

Instagram: 30 mins (14%)

imo: 36 mins (10%)​

What worries me apart from Google play service being the prime suspect is that it looks every app is consuming more battery than before.
