I'm on stock rom right now and I want to install Arrow OS. Correct me it I'm wrong, I just need to download the latest ROM version (today's version) from the site, Gapps (I'm going to use Micro), TWRP image, TWRP installer (cosmic Dan's twrp). I don't need anything else right? I'm not planning to root my phone so I don't need magisk right?

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 PM ----------

Hey there! I'm doing this for the first time so need help with some specifics.

1. The install instructions on front page don't require flashing TWRP to both slots, So is it necessary to do so? Slots aren't mentioned on front page so can you explain the use of them in your process? I'm asking because I want a stable installation that goes right the first time so I don't have to nag people in this thread or other groups with my issues.

2. I don't intend to root my device so I don't need to flash Magisk right? Will the ROM work the same (without root and root features of course) without Magisk?

3. I only need latest ROM (30 September one), it has Moun kernel inbuilt, Micro Gapps for ARM64, TWRP Image and TWRP installer from Cosmic Dan. Do I need anything else?

4. My hardware buttons (Vol. Up & Down) are hard to press and don't register unless pressed very hard so button combos like power + vol down are really hard and is a miss 8 out of 10 times. Will that cause problems during installation?

5. I intend to do a full wipe as mentioned in the front page and before I begin the install process, If I remove the pin and fingerprints I have set up there won't be an encryption issue right?

6. If I need to flash a GCam, do I flash it during the install process or after first boot? Also, can you provide a link to a stable GCam I can use?

7. And this might sound the dumbest, does Xiaomi void the warranty if you only unlock bootloader and use a ROM like this one but don't root your device? I personally don't want to root because of safety net issues and because I don't need the functionality of magisk modules as I'm not a power user. If they void the warranty, it won't be an issue as its going to be over in about a month.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] upilguebu:
1. Twrp will be flashed in both automatically.

2. Idk but maybe magisk is necessary, you could try flashing w/o magisk.

3. That's enough

4. No.

5. Yes, if your device asking password, just format data and reflash

6. Gcam inbuilt.

7. Unlock bootloader = warranty void. You need to relock to claim your warranty again afaik.

Firstly congratulations on the ROM, this version is very good!

Are not you going to put the changelog on the main post? Is there any page to keep up with the updates outside the XDA forum?

Thanks for the hard work, a hug! :highfive:

OTA update

Thank you so much the developing!

Thats the best ROM at pie(9.0).

Yesterday im reflashing with the dirty instruction from the previous. I doesn't know where is the problem but after I have a clean flash again.

The real OTA update will come or I am flashed always throght TWRP?

I hope so, not.:)

The ROM smooth as heaven so i will recommend for everyone:highfive:
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] upilguebu:
That's so scary, did you ever taste heaven? Are you an undead?

[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] the.password:
I do not use telegram, but's ok, I will check updates every saturday and let's see about OTA updates, i hope it works! :fingers-crossed:

I just made the comment because some people just look at the main post and, when it have many comments, just look at the last page.

Putting the changelog in the main or in an initial comment, it would be easy for those who still do not know the ROM yet to see the evolutions. (I, for example, who had only used the first version and then switched to test another ROM, did not know that it was now with GCam by default).

Anyway, thanks for the reply. :)

[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Brendanus:
WhatsApp camera works for me also.

Really solid rom. Many thanks to Saksham and others.

Battery with stock kernel (Moun) is a good average, but barely lasts a day for me. About 5-6 hours SOT in 17 hours, down to 5%.

EDIT: By setting the kernel to "powersave" in kernel adiutor the battery improves very noticeably (maybe 25%), without any significant loss in performance (other than slightly slower GPS locking). Really useable stable rom for normal purposes. Best one I have found.

hay i clean flash the rom but after flashing gap & magisk when i boot in system it ask for Password while i already remove my all passwords and when i entered my pass its say your password is correct however we need to do a factory reset than its boot in stock recovery every time , i flash the Stock using fastboot , and flash again but same problem, any solution for same???
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ivomin:
Do wipe of system, data, cache on both A and B partitions.

Then without reboot install twrp and reboot to recovery.

Switch to A if not in A and install rom and twrp again(just to be sure). Reboot in recovery again (check in reboot menu after boot it should be on slot B). Install gapps(nano,pico or micro), magisk, any custom kernel (if you use) in that order.

Reboot system and wait... it should reboot twice switching the partitions automatically and then you'll see the big Star Trek Combadge ;). Then continue to normal login operations. The setup might ask you for PIN but it is cloud and should be the same as it was in the last backup your device has done to the cloud.

This is what is called clean flash.

Your issue might be from that you haven't wiped both A and B and you had some system data in one of the partitions left.

It's wierd, but after installing this rom I am not able to use jio volte in my device. I reverted back to oreo based roms but still no luck. Currently using the stock rom, as volte is only working in the stock rom. Please help me to fix this issue.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ivomin:
Well, the advantages are that it is android P and that it is fully opened to the public. You can watch the sources, make amendments or anything you like.

The Disadvantages are that it is still in developing stage and every update can worsen things or make things better. It is possible that it can be unstable. And many apps are not quite ready for P. Also some apps manage to detect you are using custom rom and don't work (MS business accounts).

[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] clinicallyinsane:
I had this issue when coming from a stock ROM. I was tearing my hair out for nearly 24 hours with it.

My solution was, in TWRP, when you go to wipe, before you click "Advanced Wipe" there's a separate button for "Format Data". I had to press that, then reboot back into recovery afterwards, otherwise I would have the same thing, where I'm asked for my password, then told I need to factory reset.

Hope this helps

[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Fraot:
Since for some reason my messages in telegram keep geting deleted and nobody answers there.... I'll ask here.

Is there a safe way to update to a newer build? I know you suggest dirty flash, but the last time I updated, I dirty flashed the 22 of september build (coming from 15 sep) and everthing was a mess. What did I do wrong?

Every Google app was crashing nonstop even though I wiped system, flashed ROM, flashed GApps, flashed Magisk and all that. I don't want that to happen again and that's why I was hesitant to update to this 30 of september build. I ended up wiping everything and made a clean flash instead.

So I'll wait to the next update coming in one or two days.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ivomin:
Safest is always the clean (wipe A and B data,system,caches) install. Otherwise for dirty... Change the slots to the one in which you installed the rom. Then install rom and twrp. Reboot (it should change the slot to the other one). Install gapps, magisk, custom kernel (if any). Delete cache in both slots and reboot.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] RavinduSha:
Probably the Rom will not boot without magisk.

Try to boot without magisk. If it works no problem. If not goto recovery and flash magisk
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Fraot:
Ok. Didn't know about wiping cache in both slots.

Now. Is is ok if I restore my data partition after an update?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ivomin:
For dirty flash it is not necessary to delete anything except for the cache.

Please keep in mind that depending on what is changed on the ROM itself it might get instable. You are basically mixing files together overwriting the same ones and if there are some that should be removed and they are not then.....

Encryption

Hi,

I am just searching if there is a workaround for encryption issue to disable it without having to wipe all including internal storage/to fastboot flash stock rom? :confused:

This is just in case if a user forget to remove pins/passwords and tries to flash a 9.0 rom and end up in this situation with no pc to do the procedure.

Thanks for your reply! I also wanna know if there's a module to disable it which can be done with an 8.0/1 rom for instance. Which might save a lotta time by avoiding the backing up and copying things process from a PC.

Edit:- This is in case the user has an Oreo rom to gain access to phone. But flashing the 9.0 rom again without pins/passwords will still give the encryption trouble(from my experience)

[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ivomin:
You can't just disable encryption. If the data is encrypted and you flashed another ROM then probably only NSA can help you. The whole point of encryption is that. Wanting to "disable it" is like wanting to break the whole security system. You'll need to hack the encryption itself. This is the reason you need to format the data partition if it is encrypted. Because installing new ROM will break the master key and without it your data is as good as deleted.
