Hello again,

since ArrowOS ceased to provide updates, I've again created my own one, based on the android-security-11.0.0_r74 tag provided by Android Source[1].

Android security 11.0.0 release 74 contains the security patches of December 2023, so I bumped the version string to 2023-12-01. Actually, I want to give credits to ArrowOS here as well, as some of the patches made public by earlier Android release have been incorporated into ArrowOS months ago already.

I've compiled that state locally [2], transferred it to the phone using

adb push Arrow-v11.0-sanders-UNOFFICIAL-OTA-20231201-VANILLA.zip /sdcard

and installed it using TWRP.

Following the restart, I flashed the latest NikGapps-basic-arm64-11-20240127-signed.zip[2] as well.

The last couple times, the phone had trouble upon the first restart, but this time this problem did not occur at all.

Feel free to download and use - but please, no responsibility is assumed.

If you look closely, you'll notice the new webspace, I've created for this, you'll also get a more detailed changelog there[4].

Again, help is very welcomed to migrate sanders to Android-12.1, which I haven't been able to compile yet. Also, this August 2023 image continues to use outdated kernel-3.18, since I haven't been able to update to a more recent 4.x or 5.x version (clang fails on too many warnings). But I've updated the Kernel using some of the updates for May 2023 - the others relied on a way too newer kernel version.

Feedback is wanted as well, since I'm still quite new to this business.

kniffte

PS: I will try to provide the January 2024 update soon, but it may take 2 weeks - I'm quite busy these days.

Note: Google seems to have lost interest in Android 11, for March/April 2024, there have been no security fixes at all. So please prepare to move to another device, since I'm unsure, if I will be able to provide Android 12/13/14 for sanders.

I will try it
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] rghvdberg:
When I play a podcast (tried different apps) the screen locks/unlocks rapidly and the phone becomes unusable.

I have to restart the phone to use it again, very strange.
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] q2n:
Thanks @rghvdberg, confirming this behavior using Pocket Casts.

The screen lock/unlock cycle runs at 1-2 sec on mine, slowly enough to seem as if there's control. But that's in appearance only because touch inputs and volume buttons become disabled.

Also confirmed only the power button menu functions normally (having a slight flicker coincident with the cycle), which allows reboot.

Suspecting a permission issue, I first enabled Files and Media (strange it wasn't already granted) and tried again. Same behavior, except volume button worked.

Playing podcasts in browsers/webapps continues to work fine so a good workaround, though maybe not satisfying for hardcore podcast listeners.
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] kai-ale:
I also have this issue with Pocket Casts. Nothing I tried to fix it with in the settings made any difference. The 2 latest versions by kniffte 040201 and 040101 both have the issue, when reverting to the last official version (20220121) the problem went away. I don't know of the latest version that is still working correct.

Hello, could you please make a signed rom so that it passes Device Integrity on Play Integrity?
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] kniffte:
Hello @JoshuaHoff ,

[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] kniffte:
Hello @rghvdberg , @q2n , @kai-ale ,

yes, I've noticed this issue as well - usually when I try playing songs w/ VLC.

I've created an image for me, removing all fixes added by r71 (September 2023), except for the framework ones. With that change, playing music was successful again.

But I haven't had time to now re-integrate the temp. removed changes and see, when it breaks. It's really annoying, the builds take about 10hrs.

What do you think: continue to try to fix this issue in Android-11 or continue trying to update to Android-12 (and on towards 13) (no idea, how long that might)?

Have a good day.

kniffte
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] JoshuaHoff:
Thank you, now Play Integrity works as it should and I'm not having any more problems.
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Barongi:
Considering the age and specs of the device, I see no benefits of an update to Android 12+. If you have the time and skill to polish the Android 11 version to perfection, I think the few of us that still use this phone would be very thankful.
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] q2n:
Out of respect for your time, I partially agree with @Barongi. Those of us who continue to use this phone (which still works great) much appreciate your updates.

Guess I'm thinking it's really up to you. As long as you're enjoying the work to build these ROMs, there are going to be people out here running them no matter which release they are.

A few thread titles back are the builds @RatatouilleDummie made of 12.1 about a year ago. Both flashed successfully but were buggy, requiring tweaks to fix which were never done.

As a step forward, if you like, perhaps pick one of those and make the adjustments to work out the kinks? The knowledge/experience gained would surely make it easier to advance to a higher release, if you wanted.

For hardware, I noticed a 1 TB NVME (or larger) is preferred for compiling ROMs. IDK your setup, maybe an upgrade shortens the runtime? Those are the only suggestions I can think of, apologies if totally lame lol.
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Barongi:
I had to test and see for myself. VLC 3.5.4 played songs just fine and the lock screen gave me no issues, using your latest signed build. Also tested with various musicplayers (Metro from F-Droid, Musicolet and Pulsar from Play Store) with no issues at all. Even this fork of InnerTune worked flawlessly https://github.com/Malopieds/InnerTune

I use Evie launcher https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/evie-...evie-launcher-2-14-8-10-android-apk-download/ not sure if that affects the lock screen or not. My lockscreen "security" setting is just slide to open.

I have disabled the system app "Android Open Source Music Player", because it most certainly is not a music player, and also "MusicFX" because it's beyond useless. For a system-wide equalizer I use MaterialFX instead https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/amir-...ualizer-material-fx-1-0-android-apk-download/

I never use/listen to any podcast so can't say anything about that, maybe someone who does could try these things I do/use and see if it helps at all.
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] buggage:
Hi, is there any way to completely disable the non-moto gestures? I'm using the moto fingerprint gestures, and have 'disabled' the on-screen navigation buttons the only way I see possible, by selecting gestures. However, the gestures overlap and get in the way, and are redundant as I'm using the fingerprint reader and the moto fingerprint gestures for that. So I guess maybe just a method to fully disable the on-screen nav buttons without having to select gestures would be good.
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Damage1972:
What you're looking for is the hide navbar option.

When you enabled FP navigation in Moto Actions and have the option to hide navbar.

I'm sure this feature will be available soon.

Remember this is just a beta build, yet.

I bet it's coming soon.:D
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] yackaro:
Great upgrade to an already amazing rom! I have only noticed two issues with it so far, one is minor, the other less so. (Model XT1806)

1: USB tethering does not toggle properly, it flashes on, and immediately turns back off. It's on just long enough to make my linux laptop attempt query the virtual network adapter.

2: Cannot send SMS. Haven't been able to test recieving SMS, but attempting to send an SMS just results in the SMS app claiming it's trying to send it. I can open an alternative SMS app, and it will show up as if it sent there, but it never actually sent.

Pretty much everything other than that has been rock solid so far, and battery life is incredible, compared to before.

Battery backup, sot and hotspot bug

As of now, this rom had been stable except a few minor performance improvements and bugs,

1) performance needs to be improved considering battery backup, even usage of custom kernel, battery backup is having the same scenario.

2) hotspot and bluetooth is having a bug, and can be experienced while we transfer any document through files app, it doesn't connect to the sender,s or recipient's device and cannot be used, so kindly fix this bug in upcoming builds, apart from that, this is stable so far.
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] tierniss:
I've been using this ROM for about a week and I noticed:

+ Issues with battery: I noticed that I have to charge my phone more regularly than with Q ROM.

+ Weird issue with FP unlocking: I discovered this by accident. When you try to unlock the phone using FP and you fail several times it usually locks for a few minutes and then you can try again. With this ROM, the phone locks and you have to reboot it because it does not offer any way to unlock (it shows that it's been several bad attempts).

+ Issues with Magisk: this happened because I didn't install the latest version. Once I did that it worked, but I tried the safety net check and it failed. I'm not sure if that happened because I flashed an older version and then a newer or what.

+ Minor details in camera: camera is working, but the photos are a bit dark. You can solve that with hal3 stabilization package.

Except that details the ROM works flawlessly and the dev made a great job! I'm hoping for the next release :D
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Sai404142:
For better backup and performance kindly flash this kernel : Mad kernel 2.0

and next thing hotspot and bluetooth have no issues here everything is fine none of users reported regarding hotspot and bluetooth kindly do a clean flash with minimal gapps and checkout ! if still issues with hotspot and bluetooth kindly share proper logs !
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Sai404142:
+For better backup kindly flash this kernel Mad kernel 2.0

+FP unlocking is differs only when your device is set into deep sleep kindly turn on pocket mode under settings - display settings .

+Magisk has no issues kindly install Magisk 21.0v version and enable Magisk hide for safety net

+For better experience with camera kindly install this Google camera : Gcam

Thanx again for your relentless work ( for free ! ) !

Now, comming back to Arrow subject : I can't get Moto Camera 2 to work...

There's a project on "Sanders Repo" on Telegram, and it claims to be Android R supported ...

The zip swaps native camera with MC 2, but as it didn't work, i flashed another zip to uninstall it, but it removed both ( MC 2 and Native one ) !

Then i installed Open Camera from Playstore and it works just fine.

Any ideas on how to get Moto Camera 2 to work ?

THANX AGAIN for your work on so many ROMs for our device !!!

May Sanders live forever !
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Sai404142:

Hi... Does this rom get OTA updates or will I need to clean flash rom everytime. It's my primary phone so clean flashing for every update may not work for me. Hence asking. Thanks for the great work btw. :)
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Sai404142:

But i can't install Netflix from Playstore. It says "device not compatible" ...

I'm using Vanilla build with Bit Gapps.

Any thoughts on how to fix this ?

Thanx again !

Very nice rom! It's working smoothly!

It would be a little cooler if there were a menu for ROM Customizations.

Don't need to be complex (tho I love a lot of customizations) but at least the simple ones like center clock, QS rows/columns, etc.
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Sai404142:
Netflix working fine check your magisk modules which you using!!

DTV will check on hope it gets fixed!!
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Sai404142:
Qs rows and columns can be edit check out status bar tuner!!
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Sai404142:
well users reported working fine still will check out if you provide proper logs!
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] dsync44:
Oh. Nice. Only one problem: the minimum of columns is 4 and I'm used to 3 hahaha

Well, actually, there's more that would be cool to have:

- The adaptive brightness button on right side of the brightness slider

- Slide on status bar to adjust brightness

- Custom Logo

- QS header

- Disable Power menu on secure Lock Screen (important!)

This is the ones I can remember right now.

Btw, any good custom firmware for sanders?
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Sai404142:
minimum columns are decided and kept 4 for music card ! anyway 3 columns are wasted in R !

adaptive brightness button can be added in feature updates

slide on status bar, custom logo , QS header are not a flavor of AOSP so can't be added

Power menu on lock screen can be added maybe not sure !!

their is no custom firmware available you can get it by flashing latest stock !!
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] lynxrz:
The rom includes sound enhancer but it is not like moto sound quality.

Is it possible to port moto sound with libraries for audiophiles?
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Damage1972:
Man, use Viper4Android.

It's the best there is !

Good luck !
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] tierniss:
It's a very nice ROM! Great job dev! The only issue I have is with certain root features, like magisk hide or the safety net failing.
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Damage1972:
First, enable Magisk Hide feature, then check safety net again.

I saw this somewhere and it worked for me.

Good luck !
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] tierniss:
Thanks! Checked in settings and enabled Magisk Hide feature. Now this is working flawlessly!
