You actually have to flash Magisk again every time you flash a new ROM (for example because of an update).
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] stark1296:
No.

Magisk newer versions require re-flash only when you CLEAN flash any rom(same or different) but, if you DIRTY flash the same rom, magisk will restore itself, no need to re-flash.

I have a few bugs....

1) I do not get any download notifications from play store and Google photos.

2) Sometimes do not disturb starts turning on by itself even after me turning it off repeatedly. The problem doesn't go off until I reboot.

Can anyone please tell me how to get rid of the "Your device is HD Capable" notification?

Clean flash->Factory resetting in TWRP then flashing the ROM. Dirty flash is just clearing Cache/Dalvik then flashing the ROM.

Nope, I wouldn't worry about trying out custom kernels yet.

I just noticed that the Engineering Menu is disabled (*#*#3646#*#*). Is that new? I think it was enabled a few builds ago.

Peace be upon You...

So after reading many comments on this page, i have decided to update my ArrowOS to the latest build....as i have mentioned before that after flashing custom ROM, i kind of lost the root privileges. I had asked her before and was advised to install magisk again.

So what i did...

1. I boot into recovery

2. Format data

3. Rebooted to recovery

4. Wiped system, data, cache, dalvik

5. Rebooted to recovery

6. Installed latest ArrowOS, Gapps

7. Wipe cache delvik

8. Reboot recovery

9. Installed magisk

10. Installed lazy flasher

11. Rebooted to system

12. Installed rootchecker

13. Got Disappointed, again

:crying:

Please help.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] TGHH:
Do a normal boot into Arrow. Then reboot into recovery and install Magisk. Boot again into ArrowOS and install Magisk Manager App. Then you should be good to go.

[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] TGHH:

Brothers.... I am having crash issues WhatsApp.... It gets stuck and works after 2 to 3 seconds.....

And one more thing...i saw that most of the users are having some problems in the latest march build so they are reverting back to some previous build...i want to ask which one i should revert to...

Is there any FULLY stable ROM with no issues (whether it's OREO)...?

my only Concern for installing a custom ROM was for a better battery life.... ArrowOS is serving this purpose very much..... But i am facing issues..

I looked for a previous OREO build of ArrowOS..and they have it in their official download site.

What should i do......

P.S - i need FM radio and it's not working in the March build of ArrowOS.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] TGHH:
What was your previous ROM and how did you install ArrowOS? Most issues are related to improper installation. Latest version of ArrowOS is working fine for me.

Not sure about the radio. At least I can start it and it does not crash.

Fully stable? Even Stock will have issues if ask the right person! :laugh:

For this version of ArrowOS it's essential that you have Stock Oreo installed and then move to ArrowOS. Otherwise you will have issues with FP and NFC.

To break it down - this ROM is stable as a daily driver to me. But I doubt that you will get a 'Wow' related to battery life. It is doing fine but the difference may not be that huge. But always depends on how you use your phone.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] faheem.twoface:
Thank u for replying..

I installed Lineage OS first after rooting and flashing TWRP... then it showed encrypted error (needed password for first boot and got rebooted) then i got hold of ArrowOS and installed it.... WhatsApp and FM radio was the main issue and it's still is....

For the March Build, i preferred clean flash. I rebooted into recovery, formatted data, advance wiped (delvik, cache, data, system) then installed ArrowOS(new version)+Gapps.

Can u be specific in giving details of installation? It'd be a real help...
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] TGHH:
Sounds reasonable to me. What was the ROM before Lineage? To my knowledge it is essential to start off from a Stock Oreo.

Related to WhatsApp I would clear data of it and see if that helps.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] faheem.twoface:
It was Motorola's own stock firmware... Oreo updated from nougat in November i guess.

If i were to revert to the stock...will i be unlocking the bootloader and rooting again for a stable flashing of custom ROM..?
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] TGHH:
To revert back to Stock you can use the TWRP flashable version but you can't do OTA updates.

Other method is to grab a original Stock rom and flash it via ADB (think it is a Nougat version) and then update to Oreo via OTA. 2nd method assumes that you don't root your phone otherwise OTA will not work - at least to my knowledge.

But before going back I'd give it another try. As GAPP use the pico version and then install Google stuff you need.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] faheem.twoface:
Ohk sir, will try a clean flash of ArrowOS with Pico Gapps.

Thanks Again

Password needed?

Just updated from the 3rd March version to the 15th - and am being asked for a password to start up Android... but I have never set one so am now locked out!

Wrong PIN

I have just installed the latest OTA update, and am now unable to login to my device.

When asked for the encryption PIN, I continually get "Wrong PIN". Entering the PIN in TWRP recovery works.

I'm not sure if deleting locksettings.db is the right thing to do with encryption enabled. The problem is at the encryption PIN entry screen, not the normal lock screen, so I suspect this won't fix this issue.

Any ideas? Is it safe / worth trying to flash the previous ROM over the top in the device's current state? Thanks.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DiabolusExMachina:
Same Problem

Hi I have the same problem. I have not set a Pin or Password on Safe Start. But after flashing the current update i'm asked to enter some password. I had to flash the old Version to get in my System again.

deleting locksettings.db and all the other files is not working because this is the safe start prompt not the prompt after the phone is started.

No I also tried to set a "Safe Start" pattern and then installing the current arrow os. Now after installing it shows the "Safe Start" prompt and asks me to put in my Pattern. However my Pattern is not working. It always says "Wrong Pattern"

Is there maybe something wrong with the rom? Can we create some kind of official bug report?

I use the following software stack

twrp-3.2.3-1

ArrowOs

Gapps pico

Magisk 18.1

To get rid of encryption format the data partition to FAT and then back to ext4.

Seems like there are issues with encryption and not the lock screen.

And as reminder - always do a full backup before installing an update! Otherwise you maybe busted!
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DiabolusExMachina:
Thanks for the answer.

So I have to go to twrp and format the data partition to fat and then back to ext4?

Will my data then by unencrypted?
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] TGHH:
Yes, partition should be unencrypted again but of course content is gone.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DiabolusExMachina:
Sorry for the question but I'm trying to understand the solution:

So this data partition. Should it normally be encrypted and now I'm removing the protection?

What I do not understand is that the last Update of ArrowOS was working without problems.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] TGHH:
Well, that’s called a bug! ? Maybe it's just an issue related to encryption and phones with no encryption work fine.

To answer your question - by default the phone is encrypted and TWRP can decrypt it when passed the right Pin. But sometimes decryption is broken for reasons. I'm not deep enough into Android development to give you more details.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] giociampa:
I didn't think of that ... presumably just reformatting as ext4 without going to FAT first, as I did, doesn't change the encryption on the partition? What's the point in that? You lose the data either way, but it doesn't solve anything... one for TWRP I guess as that's a choice it should be giving you at the time.

Fair point ... I had a Titanium backup to go back to from yesterday morning so didn't lose anything vital
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] TGHH:
Titanium is but it's easier to restore it in a whole and you also restore partitions.

The trick with FAT is that it's not capable to encryption!
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NZedPred:
I've never had to format to fat in order to remove encryption. Also just pointing out that the default format for the data partition is f2fs.

Once encrypted it stays encrypted. The only way to decrypt is to format your data partition, which means losing everything including internal storage.

You can do that in TWRP. Wipe, advanced, format data, or something like that (I no longer have TWRP on my device).

I don't have time to debug right now, but for a few people who are encrypted the latest build isn't booting.
