It's works about the same just the menu structure is a bit different.

I used it before. It seems TWRP is somewhat more reliable.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kally:
Thanks, I successfully installed your linked twrp recovery and it can decrypt the data.

Now when I flash magisk 26.2 in the twrp recovery and after that install the magisk apk, the app says that it has to reflash magisk in the recovery. When I do this and restart the phone it ends up in a fastboot bootloop.

I can fix this by installing the twrp recovery through fastboot again, but magisk (or better said root) is gone too.

Does anybody know how to fix this?

Is it possible that newer magisk versions are not compatible with this phone?

Thank you very much in advance!
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Uluru25:
I am still on 25.2. Have you tried what happens when you just ignore this reflash advice?

If you don't succeed or receive here a solution, I would flash the 25.2 version.

Good luck!

🤠

edit #1:

I just tried with my 2nd phone (willow) to install magisk 26.3. I wasn't able to get it installed via the method of renaming to xxx.zip and then flashing via the recovery (I clearly admit that others may be able, but I was not).

Then I tried the direct install method via the magisk app and a boot.img of the installed rom. Also here I observed several strange things (again, maybe crystal clear for others, but annoying for me).

Thus, I recommend to stay for willow/ginkgo with good old 25.2 which I was able to install easily and flawlessly on several phones in the past.

For sure, I would highly appreciate if somebody will post a guide how to install higher magisk versions for willow/ginkgo.

Hello all. I am using it for a year. My phone is normal on 13.1 202308xx version. But my phone is lagged and apps not responding after update to 20231009. Can I downgrade without data loss? How to download previous version. I can;t find it.

Hey there!

After more than a year with Lineage 18 (and several dirty OTA updates) I had a few app crashing on launch.

I was looking for a refresh, but I got curious about upgrading Android as well. After a bit of digging around I landed on Arrow, mostly because the devs looked pretty serious, at least from their blog.

I clean flashed it with sideload, appreciating the fact that Gapps and MiCamera did not require any extra step. I am now just 24h in, but I am really happy and I have yet to find any issue. The only silly thing was the default notification sound, which was a really long jingle, but maybe something went wrong with the Google backup restore.

Overall I just wanted to drop a huge thank you for the effort!

Also, since the logo is quite close to the one of Arch Linux, I kept getting confused! So I thought about modifying the wallpaper a bit, here is the result:

I did it by tracing the original wallpaper in vector graphics, in case you need it you can find the SVG together with the full res PNG in the attached ZIP.

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ennev:
With this update we have achieved perfection. At first it was laggy, then I realized that the root had been removed.I reinstalled the rom from twrp, re-rooted, waited 5 minutes and from that moment everything went smoothly. I had Adaway asking for root permissions and crashing almost every application that connected to the internet.After the new root, everything works great, including the portrait mode camera. Another detail that might help is that I also wiped the System folder as well as Cache and Dalvik Cache.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ennev:
I was too hasty and enthusiastic. In fact, with this new update the phone has become laggy and applications sometimes crash. I tried unsuccessfully to revert to the previous version but the phone boots into recovery after installation.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] TheShiZo:
For me personally the CUH Kernel helped with the lagging issues. Could be a coincidense but it's worth a try If someone expieriences lags to an almost unusable state.

If I change the kernel, do I have to do a factory reset or can I do a simple update? Currently mine is a rooted 8T with Arrows 13.1 dated October 9th. Thank you. Is the procedure an installation from TWRP?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] TheShiZo:
Hi there.

I have downloaded the one with Superuser Support / App Support.

It just was flashed via Orangefox Recovery (you can use any recovery you want).

No factory reset was done just the usual Cache deletion and i was good to go.

Here the official Installation guide:

Installation :

Reboot to recovery

Backup Boot.img and Dtbo.img (in case you wish to rollback)

Flash the kernel

Clean cache and dalvik

reboot
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] TheShiZo:
Short explanation in KernelSU (a.k.a Kernel Super User)

Note about KernelSU:

KernelSU is a kernel implemented rooting solution for what you can control only what apps should identify root access on your device or even can install external magisk modules on it causing safetynet not to fail and even can use banking apps [afaik in short]

You would be installing KernelSU Manager app after flashing the kernel for it's functionality
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ennev:
I installed it and it actually works much better. But the problem is not completely solved. I have seen that there are sudden CPU loads that slow down the system. This was even more common with the old kernel. I think a new Arrowos update needs to come out to fix it. Anyway thanks for helping me. I tried to go back to the previous version but I couldn't.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ennev:

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ennev:
After a few days I can say that now the device is stable and fast and without lags. What have I done: 1) installed the csh kernel (without root) 2) installed magisk 3) installed the magisk RAM Manager module. Now everything runs very fast.

Really nice ROM, tested the non gapps version and it does work really nice, i do have an nice performance and battery, but i want if is possible to add hide apps option to launcher, other launchers can do that but ArrowOS launcher do have an low battery consumption.

Oh i noticed that on feb 3 update, i had to reboot because launcher and recent apps was bugged, i couldn't access to apps or even app settings to force stop it, after rebooting, i had no problems

Edit: is an SystemUI issue, on my last reboot, recents button was not working anymore and i had to reboot, but power menú was changed to classic one (SystemUI issue), for now, i don't recommend the most recent ROM version since every certain hours, you may need to reboot your device

Edit 2: i think it's GApps issue, i did had to do that on CrDroid too this last time, the only difference here is that i did flash February 2024 NikGApps, strangely, it did got solved by cleaning Cache and Dalvik Cache on Recovery
