Not a lot of activity here; but some feedback - I just installed the COMMUNITY version with GAPPS from Arrow web site - file notes as 20211120 -- rock solid for me needs ; only thing I have not tried yet is using any program as GPS ; I usually use Google Maps or HereWeGo . Battery performance over the last two days has been comparable to stock. I did not install any root program.

Thanks for the 20220122 update, let's hope Android 12 will follow soon.

Automatic update didn't work for me, ended up in a bootloop.

But after downloading the zip manually, using my pc.

Did boot my phone in recovery mode, pressing Power and Volume Down.

I could transfer the zip to my phone, and installed it using twrp.

I also needed to perform repair my data and system partition.

Today I did try ArrowOS Android 12 on my spare Moto G5 Plus. I have chosen to not import settings and apps from my google account, to make sure to have a clean start. I have also installed flame full gapps, for Android 12. Installing went fine. However I have found some issues:

- Face recognition does not work. This is no big problem for me.

- Google Chrome was missing, you can install it from the Google play store. This works for me.

- There appear two versions of (Google) calendar. The default white/blue one and a orange one. I have stopped and disabled the orange one. This works for me.

- The camera is'nt working at all. I have tried re-installing the Google Camera, and tried a third party "Open Camera", none of them works. This is huge dealbreaker for me.

- Audio is'nt working, I have tried some app's, none of them works using speaker. This is huge dealbreaker for me.

- After restarting or shutting down, wifi has been set to disabled. You can enable it again, but this should not happen.

I will do some more testing, but I am sure this is'nt working for me. Maybe it has to do with FlameGapps, but I don't think so. Let's hope an official version (also including gapps) will appear soon.

Developer mdriyan65 has already created 3 versions of ArrowOS Adroid 12. Dates are 6, 7 and 12 april. So I think it's just a matter of waiting for the moment he's changing it to an official/stable build. Just check my link regulary for updates. https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=331874&sort_by=date&sort_dir=DESC
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cjdijk:
Unfortunately this ROM (Android 11) also has the mobile data eating problem and battery draining problem. You can see this by going to network settings, mobile network, Data usage of app. If you see a process called systemupdates, you have the same problem. It possible to avoid eating all your mobile data by modifying the hosts file on your phone, but you can't stop the battery drainig. It's now constantly downloading a ROM for a Pixel phone, after downloading it sees, it's a Motorola, and it's starts the process again. Same as you can read here https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-11-lavender-pixel-experience-official-aosp.3930709/post-85932037 And yes, that's a completely different phone. Modifying the hosts file is explained here https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-11-lavender-pixel-experience-official-aosp.3930709/post-85940373 It seems that if a certain rom is about 3 months old, without real updates, you get this problem. The only rom's which are working for the Moto G5 Plus at this moment are: CrDroid (crDroidAndroid-11.0-20220223-potter-v7.15.zip) and LineageOS (lineage-18.1-20220410-UNOFFICIAL-potter_security-patch-date_2022-04-05.zip).
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] fR33Styler:
thank you for this post... i was searching one week now... (because i found this out happening on my G5 Plus)... and tried flashing etc.

But now i can focus on the problem (to prevent Pixel Experience eating up all your mobile data via System Updates).. and try some work arrounds.

Do you think this will be fixed in potter 12.1?
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cjdijk:
ArrowOS Android 12 is'nt useable at this moment: Camera and sound don't work. At this moment I am using CrDroid, which still works fine. https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-11-0-potter-crdroid-v7-13-17-12-2021.4041689/ I have also tried lineage-18.1-20220410-UNOFFICIAL-potter_security-patch-date_2022-04-05.zip that one works fine too. But that's an unofficial, so it might have hidden problems. It seems all rom based on Pixel Phones have the same problem, when it's not being updated for about 3 months. It continusly downloads systemupdates over and over again, draining battery and using mobile data. Mobile data eating can be fixed by editing hosts file, but battery draining can only be stopped by disabling wifi and mobile data, but that's not a useable solution for most of us.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] fR33Styler:
I tried but i like to stay at ArrowOS... so for me the "host" work-arround (but he wrotes "All Methodes below don´t work." ?!?) will be the solution till a stable 12.1 is available.

But currently i cant edit the host file (no root)... is there a easy way to "root" and later "de-root" my device (need this for some company/work apps which check if theres "root" and then dont start) and then whats the best way to do the host patching?

Or is there a way (to edit/change hosts file) without root (adb pull also doesnt work here)?

C:\_Install\Mobile\Android\adb>adb devices
List of devices attached
ZY2244***** device

C:\_Install\Mobile\Android\adb>adb pull /system/etc/hosts "C:\_Install\Mobile\Android\hosts.txt"

and which are the URLs (from Potter) to set to localhost?

I don't know how to temporary switch to rooted and no-rooted modus. But your step "adb root" should give the message: "restarting adbd as root". And my guide mentions ota.googlezip.net and ota-cache.googlezip.net After completing all steps, you can test it by entering ota.googlezip.net in Google Chrome. You should get a message "This site is unavailable". Not get a Google logo with "404. That's an error".

[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cjdijk:
You get this problem if your rom is based on a Google Pixel phone and isn't updated for about 3 month's. So as long as your phone get's updates from the developer from ArrowOS (and others), you're fine.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] fR33Styler:
thx for your reply... (y) i tried a lot of things... but in my case (no chance with ADB and all the other work arrounds) the working solution was:

Install Magisk

Install Solid Explorer

Give Solid Explorer in Magisk SU

Edit hosts with solid explorer

127.0.0.1 ota.googlezip.net

127.0.0.1 ota-cache.googlezip.net

127.0.0.1 download.pixelexperience.org

127.0.0.1 pixelexperience.org

restart

Works... :cool:

(i put all 4 URLs into... doesnt matter)

Only problem: my 2-factor auth apps notice the device is rooted (even hide Magisk as Settings, Zygisk and set deny list)... but i can de-install Magisk later... just wait a few days...

But my mobile traffic for "system updates" is history. 🙏
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] 4myra:
I am happy for you, but according to the github issue there are 2 "SystemUpdate" problems [just go to comment of henrycard0710].

The biggest data/battery eater is google playservices, the second the ota updater process.

If your ArrowOS rom is faking a Pixel phone [you can check in google photos if you have unlimited storage], which is the case with potter, then you have a problem. According to the bug report the problem occurs with builds after Oct 2021.

I wonder if the hosts solution will solve the playservices problem. That's why my link to the other solution. Yes you have to have root.

I checked this with a potter I just unlocked and flashed with A11 Jan 2022 build. Compared to my A11 poco phone with April 2021 build, the potter's playservices use quite a lot of battery.

​
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cjdijk:
I am sure, you can de-install any apps after editing hosts file. I noticed even the changed hosts file remains after doing a factory reset from settings. However I did not check my hosts file after switching to anaother rom (CrDriod). It might be back to default now.

If there was no battery drain issue, I would switch to Pixel Experiance, using the modified hosts file. With CrDroid, battery usage is about half as much as with ArrowOS, DotOs and Pixel Experiance. CrDroid has a bit of "strange" look, but at least all is working fine.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] fR33Styler:
Thx for this information... in my case i set "Play store" to "no automatic" updates and check this time by time in Wifi... so no "mobile data problem" here.

This is a good information... will check this in the future (during updates)... thank you!

The Battery drain is not good but currently i can live with this... i hope 12.1 will come for ArrowOS not to many months in the future... and if not, ill take a look at CrDroid.. thx for the hint

And after a little trying i got my 2-factor Apps working with Magisk (reboot helps)... so for now its kind of stable.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mmortal03:
I'll have to try out CrDroid, though it looks like they're no longer officially supporting this phone.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cjdijk:
I know it hasn't have any updates for about 5 months, and it doesn't get any in the future. But CrDroid is the only rom which doesn't have the mobile data eating and battery draining problem. And it looks like it isn't getting that problem in the future. Only LineageOS has newer updates (april 2022) and is working fine at this moment. But I figure that's ending too, in a moth if there aren't coming new updates. All other roms do already have the mobile data eating and battery draining problem, like ArrowOS, PixelExperiance, Pixel Extend, Pixel Plus and DotOS. It has to do with the fact that those rom's are pretending to be Google Pixel smartphones. CrDroid does not.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] fR33Styler:
Yeah... sad :(

But if i take a look here, and click on "changelog" last changes are from 1.6.2022

View attachment 5629245

and since 21.3.2022

So they work on 12.1 right?
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cjdijk:
Let's hope so indeed, that would be great! I have found a downloadlink to Arrow-v12.0-potter-UNOFFICIAL-20220412-VANILLA.zip and have actually tried that one. https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=14655340768118452971 I was able to install it succesfully. I did combine it with FlameGApps-12.0-full-arm64-20220412.zip But it wasn't useable, becouse: Camara and sound don't work. Didn't try it with my simcard installed. I do have 2 Moto G5 Plus smartphones (main and backup). So as soon as Android 12 is useable/official, I will try it and switch to that one for sure.

Can someone please tell me if ArrowOS is still active for Potter? If I understand correctly, the old developer has stopped, but a new one has taken over his task, see my link.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mmortal03:
There is at least one guy who looks to be working on 12 in the Telegram thread, and people were suggesting to him that he use ArrowOS, but I'm not sure what will come of it yet. He may not be the same guy that was previously being referred to -- I don't know one way or the other. I got the impression that a lot of people have given up on getting 12 to work on potter, but there's still a chance, based on the Telegram thread, that it'll happen.

Sounds good, when could we expect the new update ?
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] K001droid:
Latest potter build is now released with 2022 September Security patches.

we recently planned special updates on arrow-11.0 branch with latest source changes and decided to update builds for few yet popular selected devices. I don't have potter anymore but these changes are based on my tree up until when I had the device so things at device level should be very stable.

This build also removes PPutils / spoofying as latest pixel so all the data use/drain because google trying to download ota should go away!

Thank you very much , downloading.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cjdijk:
Thank you very much. I have tried it and it works. Only two small issues found. Automatic brightness adjusting doesn't work correctly. When working on phone, it randomly goes to very dark and bright again. Very annoying. Also missing weather information on Ambient Display (Moto Actions). Which are shown on CrDroid and DotOS. Both issues aren't new, were also on previous ArrowOS rom's. But it would be nice to fix them.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cjdijk:
And another update, 21 september, downloading automatically on phone now. Thanks! I will install it soon and let you know if it works. I hope my two mentioned issues are gone.

After installing, it works, but all of my installed apps were missing? So I did a clean install after it, importing apps from my Google account. Everything works well.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cjdijk:
I Have found a third issue. I always listen music when riding my bike, normally I turn on my bluetooth headset, press pause/play butten and it resumes playing mp3's from my sd-card. I am using VLC Media Player for music and video. It starts VLC, but doesn't begin playing, it gives a message "multiple media cannot be played". When I select my mp3 folder manually, it works fine. But I dislike this very much. I have tried different settings, giving VLC the rights to get access to media. I am tired to manually start from the begin, hearing the same music every time, and not the rest of my music. I am going to use my other Moto G5 Plus with CrDroid. I am sorry about that.

Also have checked mobile data eating and battery draining. You have fixed the first one, but the second one, I don't think so. Using CrDroid, I use between 10 and 20% in 24 hours, depending usage. Last night I charged it up to 100%, but was disappointed to see it already had dropped to 80% while I was asleep, using ArrowOS, so thats about 4 times as much as it should. Using CrDroid it drops from 100% to 95% whem I'm asleep (8 hours).

Thanks anyway.

[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] griz.droidx:
I can't express my thanks enough for this ROM. Variety sometimes a weakness of opensource, is great. I mean the Omni is a stable and a good ROM based on AOSP, which I like and has served me well for the past month or two.

But, I like the plethora of options available in a CR-Droid or Havoc style ROM. They include many items that I'd normally try to add anyway such as network speed in the status bar. AlthI'vough thie iteration of the Network speed feature I find very difficult to read. I do need stronger glasses as I'm no longer a young "whipper snapper" so maybe it's just me. I don't want to use the screen sizing feature.

Sorry , Just super excited. So far, and remember I haven't tried each option, the ROM has been smooth and everything seems to be working.

PS I saw the ROM just by chance early this morning EST when I just out of nowhere decided to search AFH for sophia ROM's and anything else I might find.. I saw like 4 downloads on the latest build and was so excited I immediately downloaded and installed it. I didn't take time to check XDA to see if it was released there or on a telegram or other group app. Fastboot all the way.

Going to get back outside and be productive I suppose while listening to whatever on my CR-Droid ROM with VIPER. and no GAPPS

Thank goodness. I'll have microg on by tonight.

Thanks again to both Rondeau, vache, testers and everyone who has made custom Firmeware a reality on the Moto G Stylus.

Having trouble with data. I remember the omni OP sold LTE data wouldn't work with Verizon but I never had any issues. 3g does work on this ROM but I don't know how to enable it without LTE on this one. I can't do it where you select those things as the only options are LTE/CDMA, global and LTE, GSM, UTMS I believe.

Any suggestions? I figured this ROM would use the same device code but I'm dumb on such things.
[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bloodclot:
thank you for this, I always loved crdroid

I was on the latest stock RETUS firmware and using tmobile and decided to give this a go

After installing it and booting to the homescreen, i noticed there werent any gapps so i twrp flashed pico gapps via https://opengapps.org/ along with Magisk v21 via https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases

So far it looks like everything important is working. Wifi, LTE, bluetooth, vibration, sound, GPS, gyroscope, accelerometer, proximity
