Looks like I messed something up pretty bad.

After installing 2021-10-03 (edit: and rooting it), most things were running okay, but I decided to update to the latest version (2021-11-10) (both GAAP version) earlier.

The OTA update didn't do anything, merely sending me to TWRP. I figure it might have been my version of TWRP (3.5.2_11-0).

So I decided to do a manual update by exporting the update, moving the file to my SD card, boot to TWRP, install the update, and wipe the cache.

Result? TWRP bootloop.

First question is, can this be fixed without wiping all the data? I've been quite weary since it has a very long time since I've used a custom ROM and not install that much on my new phone.. but it's still a pain having to reinstall everything I have installed so much.

Second question, suppose that the nuclear option is the only option, how should I go about it?

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] k3lcior:
First thing i would do is to flash latest recommended TWRP if you are not using it - https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-unofficial-teamwin-recovery-project.4269551/

Then maybe try reflashing the ROM. Btw. what do you mean by TWRP bootloop? You cant restart to system or?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] xAxB:
After flashing to the latest version, everytime I start the phone it just goes to TWRP.

Later on I tried flashing back the version that worked before, and it will get stuck at the Arrow logo on boot.

I am pretty sure I am using the TWRP version you've linked, but is there a way to check it? (The version number match, and since I've been following guides on XDA, I likely got it from that link).
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] xAxB:
Ended up going the nuclear option.

I decided to try again using the same ROM (early October), and this time it updated fine automatically after rebooting to TWRP. Strange.

I have a question Is system parytion size 40gb in storage settings normal ?

Someone after installing 12.5.5 fw and ArrowOS that fixed ghost touch issue?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] lepidas:
I started using this rom from yesterday. I came from LOS.

It's more smooth and it is missing one bug from LOS, while receiving call and connected to bluetooth the android is ringing, not the earpiece.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] juergen46:
Whenever I want to make a call from the car via Bluetooth, the other person cannot hear me, but I can. Does anyone else have this problem? But this only affects my Poco X 3 Pro. This problem does not occur with my Samsung Galaxy S 8
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] TheRaphel:
Ok Google isn't work for me. Any ideas how to bring it to life?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] waarten:
This will be helpful indeed. Please share when someone has feedback on this.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] KAwAtA:
I installed latest firmware... No luck. I still get the ghost touches on occasion.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] k3lcior:
You guys are really desperate if you believe ghost touches are related to firmware or software in general, it is a hardware issue stop fooling yourself.

And it's not even matter of touch panel manufacturer because it happens on both Tianma and Huaxing, it's just poor manufacturing process during assembly / poor quality control (or lack of it) and most likely some issues with grounding i had exactly same problem on Mi9 Lite before and if you google it tons of other Xiaomi / Poco phones have same problem aswell. And ofcourse Xiaomi will never admit it's hardware problem because they would have to repair/replace/refund every single phone with this issue which is huge money loss for them so instead they will be fooling people that they are working on firmware fix indefinitely and when your warranty runs out then they will say "oh well we tried" i mean you get what you pay for - top specification but **** quality, budget camera, non-existant support and laughable software, that's Xiaomi for you.

Instead of wasting time and hoping for magic go RMA your phone before warranty runs out.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] i_sagnik:
Well said!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pogodabartlomiej:
There are random restarts - yesterday 10 times, and today 4 times so far from 2: AM to 19:00 PM

Also, VOLTE does not work on T-Mobile PL and Orange PL SIM cards !!!

VOLTE was displayed on the Play PL website !!!

I am asking for some update to make Volte work and there were no accidental reboots.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] k3lcior:
I never had a random restart on Arrow 11. Are you using stock ROM without any mods? (Magisk, custom Kernel etc.)

Currently i have over 240 hours uptime without restart and it would be more if not an update lol.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] i_sagnik:
I too never had random restart on Arrow 11.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kng96049:
Will Arrowos 11 still be maintained after Arrowos 12 come out? There hasnt been any new commit since Nov 11.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
Hope so, A12 have some issues atm.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Superbia_:
Yeah, I tried A12 for a couple of days but reverted back to A11. Some transitions felt sluggish in A12 and it really bothered me.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pogodabartlomiej:
Everything was loaded correctly, the phone had the software loaded after unlocking the bootloader at an authorized Xiaomi service. I even did a wipe data factory reset and wipe cache after receiving it from the site. the phone is new. yesterday again a few reboots at random times were.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] desihu:
Well let's give some credit to the lone developer and patiently wait for monthly updates
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] shahidurshahid:
Can you please provide me the specific group link of arrow os for poco x3 pro?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] shahidurshahid:
where i can find Fullscreen apps option in Arrow os 11?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] cyber.wise:
Hello there. Respected @kubersharma

Thank you very much. Thanks to you, we have an excellent rom. But there are some shortcomings.

First of all, I am a visually impaired person. My eyes see little. I have a low opinion. I have Retinitis Pigmentosa disease.

I installed Arrow 12 and Arrow 11. Arrow 12 is still immature. The rom has accessibility problems. I'm back in Arrow 11. You added Talkback to Arow because my visually impaired friend named Muhammed wrote to you. we thank you. Old version of Talkback. We can still get the job done. I wish you had added the new version.

Let me write down the main problems.

Those with low vision use the dark mode. I was also using miui rom which forced all apps to dark mode. I switched to Arrow. In this I can't force all apps to dark mode. Even the Forced Dark Mode setting won't work. You have added a lot of dark mode themes. You are a marvel. I wish all of these themes could force all apps to dark mode. If only one of them could do that.

I want to enable dark mode in all apps. Is it possible for me to do this with Magisk module or with ROOT rights? Please help me.

This was the biggest issue I had on ArrowOS. Another is not being able to use the TR-Q keyboard. When I plug in a physical keyboard, no matter what I do, I can't use it despite all the settings. The keyboard works in English layout. This has been fixed in Arrow 12. However, Arrow 12 is a very problematic release in terms of accessibility. Moreover, the dark mode is very bad. It tires our eyes. There is a dark blue dark mode. This is big bull****. Google hasn't thought about the low vision. Is it possible to add the themes you added in Arrow 11 there too? Especially the Clear Spring theme is great.

Is it possible to fix the problem that the physical keyboard cannot be changed? Is it possible to do this again with Magisk or ROOT rights?

Thank you for thinking of the blind, for not being NAZI-minded like the people who developed the EU-ROm. We were unable to add Talkback to the developers of the EU-ROM. It wouldn't work if 50 MB was added. Blind people don't matter. We don't matter to them.

I get unresponsive touches when playing PUBG.

Sometumes i press a button in the game and nothing happens.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Jaysin365:
Hi all

I'm having terrible standby drain on a fresh install of the 11/11/2021 build

Battery historian cites the main kernel wakeup reason as -1:misconfigured IRQ 667 glink-native_modem and it's driving me mad!

I've tried Naptime, Servicely, Greenify, Comatose and just putting the phone into flight mode but it doesn't work.

Any advice would be hugely appreciated.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] therealkurison:
now that someone has mentioned it, i have been feeling like my phone is draining battery faster than usual. but i couldn't say it was the OS because there are too many variables. but if someone else is also experiencing it, then maybe...
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Jaysin365:
I managed to get Deep Doze to work (by using comatose) but even then, it's really bad.

And it wasn't always like this..
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
Still supported or i need to pass to Arrow 12? I'm not in a hurry, but wondering if this rom is still updated (once a month is ok too).
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] juergen46:
Since the installation of the new firmware, the ghost touches have appeared every few minutes. If you install the original firmware this is not the case!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
Double update today, firmware and new Arrow 11 build. (y)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] desihu:
@kubersharma Are we looking at a major overhaul update with this 16 Dec update? I notice that the common Arrow 11 changelog is long in past one month.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
I guess is a fix for some bugs of the 15 Dec 2021 update.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] desihu:
Hope so, actually the 13 Nov changelog were quite long and that too addressing the base modules, so I am assuming that our honourable dev has taken all branch updates since.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Pottatobag:
Hello!! There is something like "hidden and protected apps" in this rom?

I want something more secure, something to lock or hide apps like "settings".

What i'm doing for now is installing some apps in a second user with different password.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Colonelex:
Not sure if that's what you are looking for but there is a app locker under security in settings.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Pottatobag:
Oh, nice!

Does this feature hide the app and protect with password? Or just protection?

I'm looking for something similar to what MIUI already does.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Colonelex:
From what I see it simply locks the app and requires password to open but does not hide the app.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] demil7:
Has the latest MIUI update (I am on 12.5.7.0 global) fixed the ghost touch issues? Has anyone running ArrowOS 11 with this version of MIUI firmware been experiencing issues?

Just sent a small token of appreciation for your hard work on making Poco X3 Pro a little more fun and full freedom to be with....
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
Thank you mate for all your hard work, very happy of Arrow 11 builds. Happy holidays and happy new year too.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] KAwAtA:
For myself, I used arrowos since I got my phone in July 2021. I've always had ghost touch, but a simple power button off / on fixed it. I always updated the firmware in hopes it would go away...

Last week, I accidentally soft bricked my phone and wiped everything, so I went over to Xiaomi.eu MIUI Rom instead.... I miss AOSP to be honest with you, but the camera works way better than GCam from my personal experience, and my ghost touch has disappeared on the latest firmware and MIUI rom. With the two reasons above, I had no problem staying with MIUI... No ghost touches at all lately when I experienced it everyday. Worth the switch! Just my two cents. The work kuber does though is great, but xiaomi hardware screwed up my AOSP love here :(

TL;DR Using xiaomi.eu rom on 12.5.7 has not presented ghost touch for a week now. AOSP on 12.5.4 and below never helped me no matter what I tried. Maybe 12.5.7 will help you too! Let us know... If not, maybe that firmware with the rom may help!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] ichomi:
Hi.

Pls where do i locate recorded calls on this ROM? I've been searching for my recorded calls but couldn't locate the folder it was saved.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Zainullahk1234:
get a power bank
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
Phone Lost and found but police won't charge battery for you and they inform you slowly.

The power bank is with you, but you drop and lost your phone, how do you charge your phone?? :p
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] vanzan:
I just got this phone for use with a Gamesir. Any advantage to using this ROM (or any other custom ROM) over the stock MIUI when it comes to gaming? Thanks!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Zainullahk1234:
if you use pixel experience or arrow you can use ngk kernel which gives way better performance
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Kosh_swe:
Some fast questions:

1. I'm custom to use TWRP, whats the difference to use ArrowOS Recovery? Any benefits?

(I've read that you cant flash .zip files in Arrows Recovery, correct?)

2. After reading this Detailed information about our GApps and Vanilla build types i take it that the vanilla builds are for us that wants to use microG? Its Signature spoof ready? (i know it was in older builds, this still true)?

3. Are people using magisk without any issues? (safetynet is not an issue for me)

4. Is OTA updates working or do you need to sideload / use recovery for updates?

Cheers.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] FERRARI81:
4. It works
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] FERRARI81:
One question.

Call screen Is working? (Seems working on pixel and with ArrowOs poco Is recognized as Pixel) I can use the option, but when i Press "filter" button on incoming call, the Caller doesn't listen any voice
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] tomasxp:
This night my mobile data plan was drained, mobile data usage shows 4GB was used for "system updates" when the phone was not connected to a wi-fi overnight. Also strangely enough the battery was drained overnight by 20% by Google Play Service. Google play is configured to not update and not search for updates on both Wi-Fi and mobile data.

ArrowOS v11.0 | GAPPS, vayu, October 14, 2021. Preferences are set to never check for updates.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] gorillaz_gr:
1) there is no more a ArrowOS Recovery, you can continue use TWRP or ORANGE FOX.

BUT for ArrowOS 12, in order to do any update or install anything through Recovery, first you have to

remove your PIN , because your internal memory will not be decrypted at all

2) Vanilla Roms, are pure/clear versions of ROM, without any of Google's Playstore or Application.

MicroG is able to be used also with the GAPPS version. It's up to you wich GApps package you will install

3) magisk is working flawlessy even in ArrowOS_12

4) OTA works if first remove the lockscreen (pin, pattern...)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
There is update of ArrowOS v11.0 on December 2021, so if you did not disable "system updates" it is likely to download the ROM.

If you have a limit on your data usage, you can set the data limitation and notification. You can also turn on data save mode and adjust Apps you don't want it to use your mobile data, including Google Play Service.

Google Play Service is different from Google Play Store.

It will always run in the background for many services like Find my phone, Location service, remote lock, nearby share and many more. Some other non-Google Apps relies on Google Play Service for it's functional.

Google Play Service will update itself even if you set the setting to never update in Google Play store.

When Google Play Service did an update, it will run some optimizations of the system, so it will drain battery faster.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] tomasxp:
Thanks for the reply, I decided to do a clean install of ArrowOS without GAPPS and see if I can survive with only that.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Kosh_swe:
Cheers for the answers.(y)

Part 2 didn't really apply to what i asked, (used microG since release) but after that link i posted from arrowos blog (even if it's a while back) i will assume arrowheads newer roms is still signature spoof ready! On other custom roms i had to patch them myself, (lineage OS for example), it used to be a hustle back in the days but is quite easy nowdays so all good. :) Ty!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
Hi Kuber, is still maintained or we need to move to A12? As i said is ok to have at least a security update once a month, but if there will be no more updates then i can install A12 too, no problem. We need to know if this is the case or not. Thank you.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Kosh_swe:
Wonderfull VANILLA rom, :) using it with Magisk and MinMicroG-NoGoolag, fast startup and no pesky background connections so far (using afwall+ donate version), i did debloat Arrow stats (sry) / Bookmark Provider, intent verification service & "google assistant", I also uninstalled Duckduckgo + Calender + Gallery as system apps and reinstalled them as normal apps so they could be uppgraded via F-Droid, the inbuilt camera can't be updated either but I will go custom GCam / Opencam so no issue there.

There is one issue/bug i encountered so far, when installing apps from F-Droid / APK manager / etc the app icons ends up on Home Screen, but when installing apps from Aurora Store the apps do not add themself to the Home Screen!

"Add app icons to Home Screen" in ArrowOS settings = enabled.

I've tested another launcher (Lawnchair) and that one adds the apps without any issue from Aurora Store to the home screen!

Has anyone else encountered this?

edit: tested nova(7) launcher and it has the same issue as arrowos launcher, weird that Lawnchair works, it hasnt been updated since 2019.

edit2: LOGS
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
New update, 01_21_2022, testing. Seems all ok.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Juliogfg:
Is it normal for the phone's charging time to increase after installing arow OS? Before, I loaded my cell phone in the factory version from 0 to 100% in 40 min, 40 min passed and from 0 to 40% in this new rom.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Kosh_swe:
Installed today and seems to work fine for me as well, i had to repatch boot.img for magisk, do anyone know if magisk can survive OTA? (If so, how?)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] juergen46:
Suddenly screen rotation does not work anymore, although automatic rotation is activated. Is there a way to fix this?

Dear kubersharma,

many thanks for your great work. I am using this beautiful ROM since summer 2021 and so far I had no problems with it. All apps I use are from F-Droid store.

Since Arrow 11 Version from December 2021 I have a problem with "Simple Mobile Tools Calendar" app and "Simple Mobile Tools Gallery" app. Both apps are included in your ROM. I cannot update both apps anymore. The update procedure in F-Droid failed with "wrong signature" or something like that. When I install the app via adb command I get the follwing error message.

What can I do to fix the error?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Ramesh006:
im also using vanilla version and flashed nikgapps. then used d/gapps app from fdroid to instantly enable or disable gapps. this way is even better than microg you will get logged in all google apps instantly when you need them in my opinion because i use gapps very less. those gallery apps also get updated when we receive new os update i think.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] juergen46:
Hello friends, I hope you can help me quickly, I probably accidentally deleted the persists partition, which is why some of the most important sensors are no longer working. Unfortunately, I can't find a persist.img file for the Poco X 3 pro that I could flash anywhere on the net☹ Where should I get it from??
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] gringo80:
persist.img is always an empty image in all firmwares for all devices !!!

You must flash the "latest"

fastboot

firmware according to your region (india, europe or global ... etc)

Don't use mixed regions (check your smartphone box)

You must

relock

the bootloader to reset your /persist partition as a new device !

(Don't forget to restore your DRM keys too after booting MIUI ... before installing any custom rom)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] k3lcior:
Reflash stock image with MiFlash?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] juergen46:
how can this img file then be responsible for the sensors? In many forums it is written that this img file has to be flashed again so that the sensors work again and it worked again for almost everyone after flashing the persist.img again?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] juergen46:
Do you think that this is enough and leads to success?

Is the EU ROM a Stock ROM?

I flashed the EU ROM with TWRP but that didn't help
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] gringo80:
/persist partition is specific for each device ... persist.img in the firmware is empty and is written when you boot your device the first time.

You must return to the factory state :

LATEST OFFICIAL MIUI + BOOTLOADER LOCKED
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] juergen46:
OK. But that also means that I have to wait another 7 days to have the Poco unlocked?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] juergen46:
must i

relock

the bootloader first bevor i flash the EU ROM or after flashing? By Samsung Devices wehn you lock the bootloader and boot after your Device dosn'nt start
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] gringo80:
NO, you can still unlock it ... but if you relock it one more time you must wait 1 month

or/

use another sim + another Mi account
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] gringo80:
NO, use mi flash tool in fastboot mode :

look at the bottom, there is an option to relock the bootloader after flashing the firmware.

Be very careful to choose the right firmware for your variant !
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] juergen46:
ok thx for your help
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] juergen46:

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] flatronics:
Hi Guys, been using this ROM for more or less 18hrs now. It's been performing great and no issue so far.

My question is, is there a way to add auto hide function on the NAV BAR?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] juergen46:
My Poco is unlocked more than 8 month, so when i do this now for the second time Xiaomi will lock may Phone for 168 hour?
