For anyone that has the same issue.

Installing Magisk 23 after a clean install did not give me root. I found that I had to install the Magisj Canary debug version aftrwards and then it works.

In summary, after a clean install:

Download Magisk 23 apk from the official source

Releases · topjohnwu/Magisk

The Magic Mask for Android. Contribute to topjohnwu/Magisk development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

Rename the .apk to a .zip file. Boot into recovery and flash.

Boot into the rom, if you find that you have Magisk Manager installed but root does not work

Dowqload the Magisk Canary build - https://github.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/blob/canary/app-debug.apk

Install the apk from from the rom, it open up Magisk Manager and You will see that App has an update button.

Check from settings in Magisk Manager , Update Channel is set to Canary

Update App option from Magisk Manager home page and reboot

Explaination abit the canary fix can be found here

Download and Install Latest Magisk APK and ZIP [Upd: Magisk v27]

There's a weird issue with latest build , it seems that apps loses internet connection until restarted ..like I'm browsing reddit or chatting on messenger , then messages don't get sent , until i close and re open the app .. and please provide ota update , too much data consumption , 1.3 gb .. Thank you so much for your hard work

Just flashed the latest version of arrowos on a redmi note 8t with magisk, the Android firmware thingy and dfe (basically followed all of the installation steps). Everything is working fine, except my downloads. Whenever I download smth from anywhere (such as chrome, or the store) it says that I do not have enough storage (when I obviously do). I flashed everything with my sd card and removed it after setting everything up. I believe that it's the card's fault. Any solutions (except from clean flashing everything again lol)

I've been using this ROM from Dec 2020. So far so good. I don't know if it's still the case but back than it was one of the few A11 ROMs for ginkgo that had the encryption working out of the box which is, in my opinion, a must have for the mobile ROM. Thank you guys!
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] LlamaQ:
Do you use VANILLA or GAPPS build?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Huriyahuriya:
Playstore keep crashing whenever I try to install some apps. I'm using GAPPS build
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] LlamaQ:
These things tend to happen if you flash GAPPS not immediately along with AOSP "pure" ROM. But as you have said, you're using the build which already has GAPPS built in. Unfortunately, I can't help you any further with your issue as I use VANILLA build. Have you followed the install instructions exactly as they say? Maybe you did so called "dirty" flashing? Try to do a clean flashing as it's described in the first post of the thread.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Huriyahuriya:
i did a clean flash, twice.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] LlamaQ:
I'm sorry to hear it. Maybe indeed something is broken in the last GAPPS build. Let's wait and see what other members in this thread who use GAPPS build can say about your problem.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kapetchou:
I updated every time an update was up , and no problems what so ever , except with data , but i guess it's more firmware related
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] LlamaQ:
I have the similar experience with VANILLA build. Both clean and dirty flashes. No problems whatsoever. But I use microG, not GAPPS on my ginkgo.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Denny@83:
Hi, I'm using arrowOS on my gingko since August; I'm on vanilla build. I'm using latest TWRP official recovery. I updated system twice but after every update I have bootloop; to solve the problem after every update I must Flash DM-Verity-disabler, why? How can I update to last builds without flashing DM-verity disabler?

(I also have magisk23.0 installed and I don't uninstall before update -- in magisk app I saw the device has ramdisk in recovery, so I think magisk always patches boot image to force the device to boot from recovery: if I try to boot in recovery with combo power+volume up I always boot the system; to enter recovery I must use advanced reboot settings..)

Hello.

Can I please ask what is the Recovery to use to make the OTA update install itself after downloading ?

I am currently using this Recovery: https://orangefox.download/device/ginkgo

I have a Redmi Note 8T ( Willow )

Thank you.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ayato86:
I use OrangeFox without problem, you have the latest build ?

I've try to rollback 24 August build and I can't... I've try 12 and 14 September build, same problem, finger print doesn't work anymore. NFC work fine.

Do you have any Idea ? Better than clean flash ?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] wCk32d7:
ayato86​

Hello.

Thank you :-) for your reply.

I am using OrangeFox version: R11.0_1 and everything works beautifully :-)

Otherwise, as far as the fingerprint is concerned, yesterday I updated to version: GAPPS build Date: 2021-09-20

And the fingerprint works properly.

So I would try to do a clean install again :-)
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ayato86:
I've delete my print and create a New one and it's works 👍.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ivanzzz__:
Fingerprint problem here too: I'm on the latest GAPPS ROM, I deleted all the fingerprints and when I try to create a new one as soon as it finishes capturing the print it says that it didn't work.

Any idea on how to fix this? Tyall

Edit: willow

Build - September 24th Vanilla

No root

No Encryption

MicroG Installed without Root

No custom kernel (ROM's original kernel)

I have flashed this ROM on last Saturday (It's 6 days now) and so far so good. Followed the exact procedure as the original post says. All files downloaded via the provided links by the developer.

Smooth and great as daily driver. If someone like to give it a try, try it. Recommended. Thank you devs. ❤️

Where can I find walkthrough to install microG for this rom? May you help me?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] optimuspnj:
Download F-Droid and install.

F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device.

f-droid.org

Then copy this URL to your phone's clipboard.

F-Droid repository - microG Project

Go to F-Droid, then tap on Settings > Repositories > Plus Sign + at the top right corner. Copied URL will automatically assigned to the relevant fields. Of not, add them manually as

URL - https://microg.org/fdroid/repo

Fingerprint - 9BD06727E62796C0130EB6DAB39B73157451582CBD138E86C468ACC395D14165

Tap on Add and make sure it's enabled. (Toggle the button to ON)

Go to f-droid home and pull down (Like in browser) to refresh the repositories.

Now, search for these apps on F-Droid and install them one by one.

1) MicroG Services Core

2) MicroG Services Framework Proxy

3) FakeStore

*If any of these apps are not appear in your search results, probably you did not add the microG repository correctly.

After installing all these apps, restart your device. (Not essential but I did)

Now, Find the MicroG Services Core app on your app launcher and open it. Then go to Self Check at the top and make sure all options has tick (done) marks. If not, tap on that option and give permissions and make it done. 🙂

After checking all options, go back to MicroG Services Core app's home screen. Turn on Google device recognition, Cloud Messaging, Google Safety Net if they are off. Login to your google account if you need. It's optional. (It will not give any output if you logged in successfully.

That's all. 🤘
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NeoPreacher:
You can find an installer that does the job in the magisk repo, it's called "microg installer revived". Or you can use nanodroid for example. Cheers

Hello.

Does anyone use the Zepp app for Amazfit watches on this ROM ?

I noticed one bug.

If I want to add my own photo to the watch display in the Zeep app, unfortunately it doesn't work :-(

After selecting the picture nothing happens.

On other ROMs, however, after selecting the picture, the editor normally pops up in which I crop the picture according to my preferences and then upload it to the watch.

Can anyone who also uses Amazfit and the Zepp app try this ?

Thank you very much.

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] skippersea:
I wanted to ask the developer if he is working on the new android 12, I really like the ArrowOS and it is for me the best I have ever tried, I hope it continues to be developed and that on the other hand OrangeFox also updates to keep up with the Android 12 encryption. I would like a response from the developer on the current state of development Thanks for the great job!
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] PinguiNUX:
Is this ROM still under development or has it stopped? No updates for almost a month now what is going on?

By the way, there is currently a problem with the sd card. For some reason the file system breaks shortly after installing the card and won't let me write to it.

I have tried with two different models and the same thing keeps happening. I am now using my phone without sd card. Does anyone know anything?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] gr8Tomato:
A12 beta is out since today, anyone has tried it? I am waiting for vanilla build.

ArrowOS - Downloads

@PinguiNUX

I have no problem with sdcard. Are you sure it's not an hardware issue?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] PinguiNUX:
No, not a hardware problem because i tried it with other rom and recovery mode, and it works perfectly.

From what I've read on other channels (Telegram Arrow OS chat group), I'm not the only one who has that sd card problem with this ROM.

I'm going to try to do a clean install with the latest build of this ROM. Which apparently was released just yesterday and I'll see what happens.

I am asking because PixelOS and PixelExperience started failing for the last 2 days, as i have seen. Google updated the safetynet protection if i understand correctly.

EDIT: Sorry, out of the box is the wrong expression. I mean by only installing the custom rom and not magisk.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Fraise_07:
Safety net is passes by default, even without magisk. I already try it

Amazing job aditya thank you.

Just one nitpick: decryption is not working in TWRP. Does anyone know a fix or a recovery that can decrypt? Thanks
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NeoPreacher:
There's neither a recovery that can decrypt a12 roms nor a fix for it actually. But i guess it's just a matter of time and patience 👍
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NeoPreacher:

If anyone is curious about long screenshot working in chrome browser especially. There are two flags that need to be enabled via chrome://flags , 'Chrome Share Long Screenshots' and 'Scroll Capture'.

I'm using ginkgo [RN8] - Chinese variant. ( not willow [RN8T] )

I didn't know that only Chinese variants are experiencing that issue until I see this thread.

I don't know about the latest update but fast charging do not work in LineageOS 17.1 too.

But it works in ArrowOS 10 which I'm currently using. I really want to try ArrowOS 11 but there is no forum or support thread for it. Google search redirect me here. IDK why.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NeoPreacher:
Since it's not allowed to promote that special website where you can find a kernel that might be working, i can surely tell you what to search for: look out for 'ryzen kernel' on eg Google. This was often mentioned as working with fast charging on different 11 roms. But keep in mind that this is just a loose suggestion and it's a try and error thing on your own risk. There are also a lot of TG groups out there, where you can find answers too if interested. Cheers

Hello, this morning I installed this ROM and it seems to be okay, everything working.

Just a couple of question (it's the first time I use ArrowOS):

- is there a way to change the style of quick settings?

- is there a way to check for firmware updates?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] weskerty:
the quick bar is the ugliest thing that exists

and the worst thing is that the whole system changes color depending on the wallpaper and it looks even more horrible

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Akelge:
I reverted to 11 for the time being, ideas are good, but I think we need to wait a bit more for the ROM to become more mature and allow more customizations
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NeoPreacher:
You're absolutely free to make it better. Instead of spitting on others work, stay with 11 or simply move on. You've not even answered to the questions of the post you replied on, only jammering. No one forces you to use it. Plus: it's not a style contest, it's development in an early state. Totally useless. The Monet Theme engine could be better with some setting possibilities like in 11 systems, sure, but it comes when it comes.
