The camera has an issue when switching to portrait mode it says it cannot connect to camera, overall great Android build, i cant believe the phone is working that well and has android 13, i am using the latest build, one thing i'm having issues with is the orange fox recovery which doesn't seem to be able to decrypt when booting into recovery , is not prompting for model / pin aka decryption , i guess is because of the android version, device model "willow" .

My Gmail is not working.

Mail not sent and received.

Draft is empty when I save a few draft just now and last night.

Sync is on.

Deleted email in the inbox will reappear every time I opened the Gmail app.

It's like I'm in purgatory.

This is very bad.

How can I fix this?

Please help
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Jatin Verma x821:
Hi! Check if it's the app issue. Try opening gmail in a browser in your device and send some emails, make some drafts, delete emails, etc.

If it's working fine then it's an app issue. Delete the app (or delete updates if you can't uninstall), try using the app. If it works then the problem was latest update.

If it doesn't then i have no clue. This is one of the most weird issue I have seen.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] khairur77:
I just noticed that the last email I received was a month ago.

From July 26.

Alhamdulillah managed to fix the issue by deleting app data. After deleting app data, I have to re login, re set all settings. And now, I am receiving new mail and managed to send some out.

Thanks for your tips. It is useful..

Is there an option to configure the navigation buttons for double or long clicking?

From other ROMs I know that e. g. the navigation buttons can be configured for long press or double click to e. g. power off the display or lock the phone.

I have not found such modifications in ArrowOS. Is there a way I may have overlooked?

Thanks!

Excuse me, I am Ginkgo, but after I downloaded Willow's firmware and installed it, I couldn't enter fastboot (it showed fastboot but shut down immediately). Can I restore it?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Amin`:
Bro your in deep. I mean flashing willow on ginkgo is serious. You need to flash test points which is not something everyone can do, go to an expert and have them flash test point
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] atomsec:
you're right. My level is too bad. However, today I also restored to Arrowos13.1 through flash test points.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] gimmeyayo:
The solution to that is to not use the ****ty native camera. Use gcam.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] peter-k:
In the meantime, I came to exactly this conclusion. I am using Shamim Gcam now.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Uluru25:
... interesting and congrats! Would you mind posting here (or elsewhere) how you did this (step-by-step)? Could be helpful also for others who run into the very same calamities.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] atomsec:
sure. However, there is one thing about DEL mode recovery that requires an authorized account or hardware dongle. I chose to spend about $1 to purchase a license before I could continue.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] atomsec:
EDL mode recovery

Phone status: Unable to enter BootLoader or fastboot mode, it automatically shuts down 1 second after booting.

Tools: Ultimate Multi Tool – QcFire (UMT-QcFire requires hardware dongle.), miflash pro (requires authorized personnel account login)

Preparation: Install the Qualocomm driver. I used miflash pro for one-click installation.

1. Enter the edl mode of the phone and connect it to the computer (the port in the device manager shows Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008).

2. Open UMT-QcFire or miflash pro for recovery. (I am using UMT-QcFire. But both tools require authorization, and some older devices may not require authorization).

3. UMT-QcFire select the flash option, select Multi Program Mode, select the images of the firmware package in Firmware, and click flash to recovery.

Precautions & error:

1.

(turn off phone, hold vol up+ vol down and insert usb cable. some phones may need special boot cable or testpointfor edlmode)

This is a communication error on port 9008. Please re-enter edl mode. I turned off the phone and connected it to the computer, then shorted the edl point again and re-entered.

2.

Forbidden Application [03] Detected!

UMT-QcFire's self-protection function prevents packet capture and cracking. If relevant packet capture software is detected, this error message will be reported.（Wireshark/Charles/Fiddler/winpcap）

Here I did not install the packet capture tool and this error occurred (maybe it was caused by my previous installation but not clean uninstallation.)

The solution is to install winpcap and then uninstall it. (Generally there will be problems during the installation of winpcap, please solve it and complete the installation)

If that still doesn't work, try a clean computer or virtual machine.

About authorization:

Authorization is probably the most troublesome point in the EDL mode recovery system. I chose a relatively cheap merchant in Taobao to purchase this authorization before I could continue.

You can consider asking xiaomi after-sales service to inquire whether you are willing to provide an authorized account, or look for an authorized merchant to purchase.

In the low single digit range over night. Low idle drain generally. I am not a phone-man so I do not have much SOT, but I can report this ROM is the most power-saving I know of. Note I am not using gapps.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] JohnnyGiangNguyen:
I installed this ROM last week. After a week of usage, I found that this ROM consumes a lot of battery even though it's supposed to be lightweight. Yesterday, I tried charging the phone to 100% and leaving it overnight without using it or turning on any Wi-Fi or mobile data. After 20 hours with the screen off, the battery dropped by 25%. Is this too much or too little, in your opinion?

Furthermore, when I select portrait mode in the camera, I receive an error message saying it can't connect to the camera, which requires me to restart my phone.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] peter-k:
I am left with 49 % after 2 full days including 2 h SOT, and Wifi on most of the time.

So, yours does not seem to be too much. Wifi has only little influence. But if you use Gapps, that steals some %.

Camera: I had the same issue. I use Gcam now, as above.

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] FalconSN:
%1~ per hour is not much at all. I've been using crDroid before ArrowOS, and it went down by %30 overnight. In ArrowOS, I can go about 2 days without charging completely. But on the other hand, I liked crDroid' performance very much in the game I'm playing.

Also, I want to ask a question. I've looked into Feature flags in Developer options to disable monitoring phantom processes, but there's nothing. Nothing in Feature flags. Why is that?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] peter-k:
The camera is good, in particular for low light images.

But it has so many options, from which 80% I have no clue about.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SaVaS8_8:
If they don't understand, don't make any changes and continue using the default.

That's what I do.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kally:
I need a very stable rom which will work for a long time without rom updates for my father's redmi note 8.

He only uses messaging apps, browser, YouTube, Facebook and at least one day battery life.

The rom should really just work without the need of install updates often.

Is the latest 13.1 version like this?

I read about issues with camera and portrait mode?

Is an older version better for this use case?

Or maybe even lineage os 18.1?

Thank you very much in advance!
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] peter-k:
Except the camera problem (occasionally) everything on this ROM works perfect for me. If you install any of the cameras recommended above, there will be no issue. LMC seems is the best one, but then you probably better ask him not to dig deep and change any setting. I tried them all three, they all do the job.

I am a low intensity user, no gaming, videos only occasionally. I use my phone mostly to communicate and read articles. I get easily 3 days out of my phone, often 4. I know many claim "their" ROM - the one they decided for - has lowest battery consumption until the level the phone even produces electricity. I believe they all are roughly the same, the biggest diff is idle consumption. A screen will always need X power to light up. Arrow 13.1 has 1 % draw over night for me, but note, I did not install Google shxt. Gapps is high intensity user, since it constantly calls home.

I had never any crash, freeze or forced reboot. Arrow does not come with tons of features, but with tons of stability.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kally:
Thanks, that's a very helpful answer!

He needs the Google playstore and maybe Google maps.

And of course push notifications for messaging apps like WhatsApp, signal, viber etc.

Is those possible without the Google apps or services?

Not sure what is the difference though.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] peter-k:
You would have to install microG, a kind of a replacement Google services without all the shxt. But frankly, don't bother. It might be not even good for him and confuse things. I'd install the slimmest Gapps that allow Play store and what is needed. Sure someone can jump in and recommend a slim package.

Or install the Arrow w Gapps.

Download magisk.apk, then rename it to magisk.zip and flash that (install) in your recovery. Wipe dalvic and cache.

After rebooting, it should ask you to complete the setup of Magisk. If it does not then rename it back to magisk.apk and install that within Android.

I have a severe issue after updating to the new encryption enabled rom.

Everything was smooth and perfect until yesterday morning: the phone didn't boot, stuck at ArrowOs animation. In recovery (OrangeFox) I noticed that /data/app folder was somehow encrypted, showing a list of ransom character. I had to wipe all and start form scratch. I also moved to TWRP 3.5.

Everything went ok until this morning, when serveral apps started to FC: I rebooted the phone and the same **** happened: stuck at ArrowOs boot Animation and ransom character in /data/app.
