Official builds have started! See the updated link in the OP.

Edit: Changelog for this week: Added full rootless Substratum support, merged October security patches.

SELinux is still permissive as of now.

I'll follow up with bug reports in this thread soon, I've been a little busy with work. :cowboy: (thanks especially to [MENTION=4170750]reggjoo[/MENTION] for being so active, know that I'm paying attention!)
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] reggjoo:
Yes, always. You didn't let this phone down, so others shouldn't let your work down.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] reggjoo:
Dirty flashed, per your instructions. Don't reboot phone after, when installing magisk, install it right after you install official( with a dalvik/cache wipe before, and after rom install) . Update went smoothly, no probs.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] cannabiod:
Very nice rom, ik have encountered no problems so far, music plays good battery drain is excellent, so far everything works good, thanks a lot. I will post my findings when encountering problems.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] issamel:
hello , the rom boot but we have logos arrow
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] reggjoo:
Are you trying to say it only boots to the arrows logo?
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] issamel:
yes , i have the logo then a sound and logo

I came from lineagos 15.1
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] reggjoo:
Did you make sure you deleted any supersu files? I've heard that lineage uses their own su. I think there's a tool to check if any su is still on it(I know it's a zip, I used it before). You might have to scour xda for it, as I forgot about it. You can check what version of twrp you have, it's got to latest.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] kartoos77:
This ROM is really awesome, a few points based on usage of 4 days

1. Animations are not as smooth as on 7.1 based ROM (AOKP especially)

2. Battery drain is faster than compared to 7.1 ROM

3. Strangely for some unknown reason Instagram videos do not play at all (have checked all settings & permissions, even tried clearing app cache)

really hope all these would be ironed out in the coming updates. A big thanks to all involved in developing and keeping this device updated.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] issamel:
No i have deleted anything , i'm on the lastest recovery

Hello I have flash stock MM then the latest recovery but I have the same things it stay on logo arrow
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] reggjoo:
At this point, this is what I'd do. The phone would be cleaned of all lineage os stuff(I assume you have twrp 3.2.3 as your recovery, and the bootloader's unlocked), do a full wipe, install arrows zip(if you saved it to pc maybe?) With no zip verification. Might work to get you into rom, but all will be lost, unless backed up.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] droidbot1337:
I installed clean and so far.... It's not bad. I'll test the rest of the week while at school and work. Great work [MENTION=7660770]coldhans[/MENTION] BTW, anyone having issues with external devices? None are being recognized. I'm aware of the lack of exFat support so I'm using a 64Gb NTFS card but I really miss my 200Gb card!
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] droidbot1337:
so far the only huge issue is the battery drain. the phone runs smooth so far and i have had no loss of connection and the phone has run a bit cooler than with LOS 14.1. my only issue aside from the exFat and external devices is that i still cant get my password manager to detect my fingerprint scanner but i think its just the app because all others work. the dev keeps stating that its the fault of kiwi. if anyone could please test safeincloud password manager and see if it works with their FP reader i would appreciate it.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Darrian:
I love this ROM, but Skype doesn't work properly (can't video/voice chat) and Excel and Word crash on startup (this one seems to be an issue with all the Honor 5x Oreo ROMs, not just Arrow). Battery drain does suck, but it's actually the best of all the Oreo ROMs by a lot. If it weren't for the Skype issues I'd use this as my DD.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] reggjoo:
Is there any news on the fingerprint unlock? It does work as long as no other app is associated with it. I can't use it for the camera, as the screen fades to black, and tapping on the screen doesn't bring it back, or the power button, after awhile will bring up the reboot menu. Is this because a api is incompatible? The battery's good for me, no difference. I used ka to change some I/o parameters, and adjusted the interactive governor, with a little entropy (1024 read). Adjusted the low memory settings to keep more focus on running and certain background processes on. The battery's been pretty good with these settings.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] droidbot1337:
Thanks for the kernel settings tip. I'm currently using FP unlock and tap to sleep with another app and have no issues as far as FP is concerned. external storage and battery are my concerns but I'm sure they will get fixed eventually.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Kryptonyx:
I flashed this rom to my friend's phone last night.

Works ok, but animations are not smooth, flickers when scrolling and opening menus.

Any idea how to fix this?

Tnx
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] reggjoo:
Dunno, tried three separate apps, same result. One app (fingerprint gestures) is a mistake, as it can't go past nougat right now. The other, fingerprint gesture quick action, says it works with oreo roms, but not mine. Another, fp with same name as first, really doesn't work, and dangerous.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] droidbot1337:
Well..... With regard to the gestures..... I think we're SOL dude! I'm sure the FP sensor in the 5x doesn't support gestures. I have seen it in other devices but not on this phone.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] reggjoo:
Worked on nougat

Gesture apps were working on nougat(aicp rom). It has something to do with my lock screen ills. Fingerprint works, as long as I don't add a gesture app to it.

Tried to put pin back in, fading screen on startup again, then mobile data stopped working(no gesture app this time). Took off the pin, and data is on again.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] shlape:
Car bluetooth works again

I've tried a few ROMs but all have failed to properly connect my phone to the car stereo.

Technically it did connect, and I could hear the caller, but they couldn't hear me, just 'high pitched scratchy noises' and that's not how my voice sounds like even on the worst day.

I tried it for the first time with this ROM and the call went without any problems. Thanks!
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] CYoung234:
Very nice work on this ROM! Thanks. One question - I was looking to see if any kernels support High Performance Audio? That really helps with call and audio volume. It appears that the stock kernel does not provide it. Astral kernel has it, but it does not work on 8.1 ROMs apparently. Coldhans, would you consider adding this support? Thanks in advance.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] W1ckedReef3r:
I dont know why, but my phone stays at the Boot Logo forever, gets warm, till battery is empty,..

Clean Flash, Factory Reset,.. i tried to flash the ROM only, with and witout GAPPS, Magisk, SuperSU, but without success...

Any Ideas?

PS: crDroid instead works fine

[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] droidbot1337:
anyone else having issues with Bluetooth battery issues? this ROM has really killed my battery life. also, pocket detection doesnt really work. i constantly take my phone out with the screen on. this wasnt an issue on my previous ROM. also, any way to disable the tiles from the lock screen? i can enable airplane mode from the lockscreen...... why is that even possible?

[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Major A:
This far, latest build is really great and is reaching a near LOS 14.1 efficiency for a daily driven ROM. One small issue, double tap to wake up the screen seems broken, but that's not a big deal and it might be probably linked to kernel rebuild.

For those who reported a little laggyness, take care to disable some features included in the default launcher, the OS itself runs great, so don't extrapolate too fast., or try to install something else lighter.

google play services not working with latest and previous build

13 November 2018
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] shlape:
Mine seems to be working ok. It seems like a slight delay in waking... kind of like me each morning. ;)

I also managed to install Magisk 17.1 without any problems.

I haven't found any issues yet and will test the in-car bluetooth; something which has failed for this phone with other ROMs.

As a suggestion it would be great to have profiles in the quick pull down menu. I got use to this in a previous ROM.

Any plans to make the build enforcing instead of permissive. I hear there's an app which can do this on the fly.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] reggjoo:
Did you delete too much when you updated, or did you do a “dirty flash”. I use the dirty flash method when I update, and leave system/data alone( and flash magisk right after, before I reboot), and every zip install, I clean dalvik/cache( no matter what zip it is ). APK mirror may be your friend, if you can delete google play services, completely, then reinstall that from apk mirror, what’s on your phone now is probably corrupted.

---------- Post added at 03:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 AM ----------

Bluetooth doesn’t have any problems on mine, so it should work fine. Double tap’s fine no real delay( the delay on the nov3rd build was slower). Does your lock(finger, or regular work? I can’t lock mine, phone gets stuck, and screen fades to grey with no response, so I’m kinda glad this rom is permissive, at least until there’s a fix. I would rather have a phone “enforcing” though. We’ll just have to wait til dev gets back to us, but he’s reading us, so I’m not worried.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] shlape:
No problems with locking, or with finger print/PIN unlock.

I tried to install 'The SELinux switch' but no luck, both flashing or apk.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] reggjoo:
The SELINUX switch worked well on a previous rom(nougat), but on this one, I'm sitting out, til I find out why my phone can't operate with a lock. No lock right now( I get "android is starting).

[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] goralpm:
Do I have to used TWRP for flashing?
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] reggjoo:
Yes, safest recovery for this phone. Your bootloader is unlocked? It must be unlocked to install TWRP. The recovery that comes with this phone can't install a non-stock rom. There's a post on xda for installing twrp, as far as I know, you need a computer that can sideload the software(its been so long since I had to do this, maybe missing a step, so correct me).

Sorted!

Just unchecked signature verification.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] reggjoo:
Yeah, most stuff that we'll flash for this, shouldn't need a signature verify.

I haven't had to use that step for anything related to this rom. Even after the rom was installed(including the two updates) didn't need it. Magisk, or xposed, either.

Download: MEGA

Includes instagram camera fix, in-call volume control fix, other optimizations

Please provide feedback :svetius:
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] reggjoo:
Somethings wrong on download from mega, supposed download, gets stuck on decrypting. Doesn't show that it downloaded in my linux machine download folder. Adblock disabled, using chromium. Also, since you post new updates, I download from xda, when I use the built-in updater, it says "no internet connection" ( but I really don't care, since I use xda anyway). I do look forward to trying your unoffical build though. Just in case I'm wrong, I'll try firefox's downloader. update ff works, chrome's a pos.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] joelh:
It works for me, but here it is on AFH: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603859128
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] reggjoo:
Yes, afh is better, and no problems. Mega seemed to do weird things. Started downloading from that, near end it said decrypting, after that, the save file dialog popped up. Clicked save to my pc's download folder. Never saw it. AFH was a breeze, no probs as usual. Will report for any differences in performance, but your stuff seems to run good, and haven't had probs, except my earlier post on lockscreen security issues(which isn't a real problem for me, no one touches mine, but me). Update: loads a little faster, and some scrolling jerks in certain apps, are gone, or smoother in-action. WiFi , a little better

11/26 build has way better battery life, so it seems like the very first daily driver build for Oreo.

I just checked crdriod’s post, and they found out there’s no IMEI no#’s . It seems arrows are missing too.

The carrier should have my IMEI no#, how do I convince them to give it up?
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] da1e123:
Setting alarm seems to drain battery more quickly. Otherwise all performances are best. Thanks for reviving this device again. I was not expecting Oreo for this device.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] reggjoo:
Well, as usual, sometimes you have to factory reset. The rom came back, excellently, and now pin/ fingerprint works as expected( problem from previous post). I’m glad that problem wasn’t rom related( I thought it was because of it still being permissive). Now I’m going to get rid of the launcher, and replace it with another( systemlessly using a module, and uninstaller) and may put nova prime as a system app. I think the rom can handle this, as before I had changed nova to internal, but didn’t make it a system app, and kept trebuchet as a backup. Anything I should watch out for concerning this?
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] CYoung234:
You can ask them, but you can also get it off the box from your phone, if you still have it. Or, you can load the stock rom and get it. Or, you could restore a nandroid of stock, if you have that...

Actually, I googled it, and you can just dial *#06# in the phone app to get your imei number...

Second edit: That doesnt work, just returns whatever was stored in your phone.

One other idea is to load stock ROM, load TWRP and backup your EFS partition that will have the IMEI number. Then, you can restore it after you flash Arrow again.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] joelh:
This shouldn't be a problem. :svetius:
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] reggjoo:
I deleted the foss browser, and files, (which didnt cause any problems on the first rom) , and the fingerprint/pin issue came back. Reflashed, it works again(whenI reflashed this time, magisk automatically

flashed right after, weird, but good). I read the post on your other rom, crdroid, and one of your posters had a good idea in how to fix the missing IMEI, but I can't find the path to it(using root explorer to look for any similar path). Not having the IMEI hasn't affected the operation though, and no carrier, wifi problems are present. So, it's no biggie right now. Thanks for posting to me.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tenshi_xp:
That path is for Samsung, You have the IMEI there is just not showed, if that were lost you will lose carrier access too.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] reggjoo:
Yes, I know( the other poster said it was probably different for kiwi) . It’s a good thing that the IMEI is hard coded into the nvram, so it doesn’t get lost, just the path to it does. I wonder what the path is to it, though. My carrier must still see it( so, I’m not asking them, they may screw me up), as everything works. I want to find a way to get the IMEI, just in case.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] reggjoo:
Nothing better than common sense, you’re right, on the box. Duh! I needed a container for a failed ssd, so I put it in that(I am a electronics hoarder, broke or not). Thanks.

I found this article on theandroidsoul. It list a fix for the efs problem. I tried the fix, but it didn't work. Then I tried a variation of step #2, on the phone, from the local terminal on the phone. It responded, but didn't return the IMEI's. Can anyone test these steps out? Maybe someone else will have more success. https://www.theandroidsoul.com/fix-...d-wifibluetooth-issues-restoring-twrp-backup/
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] CYoung234:
I tried all three methods, but none of them worked. So far, it seems like the only way to get the IMEI's back is to restore the stock firmware.

[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] CYoung234:
Thanks for your reply, I guess. You are trying to be helpful, but I am in this thread on purpose. I am running the 11-03 8.1 ArrowOS on my wifes phone, and that is where I am having problems with the IMEI numbers. So, is there an 8.1 version of ArrowOS that this IMEI issue is addressed in? I tried the 9.0 version because I assumed, maybe incorrectly, that if there was an IMEI fix, it would be there.

EDIT: I did a clean flash of the 11/26 8.1 ROM as well, and no joy. No IMEI numbers. I had done a restore of the stock ROM to make sure I could see my IMEI numbers on that, and they are there, although the first IMEI number is different from what the box says it is supposed to be for some reason. The second one is the same, so go figure. I have a backup of the EFS and a backup of the latest stock ROM in TWRP, so good to go. But, it would be good to be able to see the IMEI numbers on Arrow...

So, that said, back to the original question. If an IMEI fix was merged, where is it?
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] reggjoo:
Don't fell bad about asking, I had thought the same thing, but I'm still on 8.1, as it runs pretty good. Your wife's phone should be flashed to the 11/26 build(11/03 was supposed to have a prob). Dirty flash it. Now a somewhat off-topic question. These phones are close to 3 years old, and maybe being flashed so much, may have lost the path to the IMEI setting, if not backed up with twrp. I know that I flashed first, from marshmallow,thru nougat to oreo, with lots of updates in-between, and never thought about it(saving persist) in backup. Could this be the reason? I know it's not a solution, but inquring minds want to know.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] joelh:
There's a couple of 12/7 pie builds with the fix. The official oreo monthly will include it as well, and that should be out this weekend. Don't thank me, thank dobo :highfive:
