Do not install MIUI, just try vanilla, download last vanilla build 19.08.2021, flash via twrp, format data, then boot normally. Once booted test if you have any ghost issues using stock system apps shipped with the rom.

If you do not have ghost issue then boot into twrp, install gapps package, format data, then boot, disable automatic updates, upgrade an app at once to locate the cause of ghost.

Before install flamegapps, you noticed some ghosting with stock rom apps? Since is vanilla install whatsapp via APK and test it.

No idea about bhima screen manufacturer, i have vayu device + EEA firmware since the beginning (bought it directly via MI store in my country) and i have no issue but i never installed any app package, i installed manually the apps i need and upgrade when needed.

How to install arrow os from custom rom miuimix?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Kimosaves230:
How do i install arrowos? My current rom is miuimix 12.0.6? Is the installation procedure the same?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] 0b4:
install arrowos zip

format data (type yes)

reboot recovery

wipe data/dalvik/cache

reboot system
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
Update to th last firmware based on your region and follow the 0b4 procedure, the same i did myself (instructions are on the first page too).
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] ianseer:
still exist, but rarely.... personally, I noticed only 2 times a week more or less... it's better than before (a lot)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] titou4488:
I saw this rom includes vendor so, i just have to flash the firmware only? Thank you
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] ianseer:
I can't remember using stock ROM is having ghost touch issues or not, cuz the first time I bought this device, I want to use a custom ROM (not a fan of MIUI), before I was using arrow OS first released with gaps... and having a problem with ghost touch a lot... after using the vanilla version like you mentioned, its rarely came up and better
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
So it came up even with vanilla? How much rarely and where happens? Can you make a video of the issue if you can? Is important to know where the issue is, if is an app or oss vendor fault.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
Firmware is just the BIOS of your motherboard device, is a saperate entity from vendor.

To update the firmware just flash it via twrp, then wipe dalvik/cache, boot the os, no problems whatsover.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] jorgeepelos:
You have more rarely ghosting on vanila then?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] jorgeepelos:
Yes. Better rarely xd
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] hakkai999:
Yeah I meant to the latest build of arrowOS. Cause I was afraid it might also bring back the ghosting.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] ianseer:
@kd276 I can confirm this... yes I'm using the vanilla version with formating the data before flash... the ghosting came up maybe a week twice or 3 times and I just turn the screen off it was normal again... (and I use my phone often my SOT is around 6 hours).
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Kimosaves230:
Thanks man.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
So the only thing left is oss vendor, it can have a bug, since with xiaomi.eu you all claim do not have any issue anymore (xiaomi.eu use same vendor of oem MIUI).

You should then open a ticket on Github and explain the issue, Kubersharma and Sebaubuntu can look into it.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] 0b4:
Well, I have bad news. Latest xiaomi.eu rom has the ghosting issue for me. It appeared today, 2 times already. I already contacted Poco, they said to do a factory reset lol. I don't know what to do, what rom should I install... or is this really a hardware issue? This is driving me crazy...
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
Dunno, since you do not have this bug everyday and for every app, did you do an automatic update before the issue start? What apps you upgrade?

Can you also try to remove the protection film, and replace with a new one?

Lastlty, if your phone is under warranty you can try to RMA it, they will be forced to give you a new one, but honestly, i doubt can be a screen issue, seems more software related. More than this i do not have any idea since i was never able to reproduce it in my device.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Rhaegar85:
I'm sure it's not a rom issue. I'm on Arrow OS since I have unlocked it, tried CRDroid and PE+ but none had any such ghosting issue. I had similar issue on my MI5 though, so I know how frustrating it can be. Luckily for me after I format data and clean installed RRD rom, this never occurred again. So I suggest the same to you. 08/19 build is very stable and battery is good as well (may be better than stock). Please format data first and then clean install the latest Arrow rom, that might help. Worth a try? 🤔
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
Release 08.24.2021 is out. Testing.

edit

No problem atm.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] 0b4:
I always format data, but after I flash the rom zip. I don't have any otg or microsd at the moment so I flash the rom from internal then I format data, reboot recovery and wipe data/cache/dalvik. Would it make a difference if I formated data before flashing the rom?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
I did it when i flashed Xiaomi.eu sometimes ago to rollback to 07.09 oem vendor, but honestly i noticed no difference at all. Only difference i got is an decrypt error when trying to flash new rom (probably because is already decrypted cause format data), and you need a usb-c pendrive or microSD since internal storage is completely erased.

However is worth a try, experiment it, you have nothing to lose.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Colonelex:
Updated to 25/08 patch didn't notice anything different though it is kinda weird the alarm app I uses always goes off on its own on the first reboot.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Rhaegar85:
Well, in my experience it helps to fix any unknown issues like you are facing. And I don't think the ghosting issue is caused by the ROM and if it's not a hardware issue then this can help fix it. Please get an external storage solution and try if this helps. And once you do this please keep a track of all apps or modules that you install, that will help if it starts again. 👍👍
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
Post this bug on Github, dev will look into it.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Rhaegar85:
Just updated to 08/25, no issues noticed so far. @Colonelex which alarm app are you using, tried uninstalling and reinstall?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] beechbum:
Just unlocked bootloader on new poco. Really nice rom.Just one thing.

How is it that a custom rom can have an up to date security patch and the original oem doesn't/can't keep it updated ?

Unbelievable. Great work Dev !
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Rhaegar85:
It's all part of a bigger conspiracy...😂
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Colonelex:
I am using I can't wake up! Alarm clock. For now I have uninstalled and reinstall the app will wait for next patch to see if still acts up.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Rhaegar85:
I also can't wake up but I use Alarmy! 😅

Yeah hopefully that's the end of it, else post a log to the app developer. Unless there is a problem with the default alarm application, I don't think the rom dev can do much about it.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] aaaa12345:
Bug

I cant swipe between apps when the system language is set to RTL language.

Just change the system language to arabic and try to swipe through recent apps.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Rhaegar85:
Just checked out of curiosity. Working fine for me. Please note for Arabic the system changes its alignment. So instead of swiping from left to right try swiping from right to left. 😅
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Natan_Gameron:
Removed.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] jorgeepelos:
i found the problem for the video ghostings that i share, if you want, dev contact me and i send you a video
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Colonelex:
Is it intended for battery % not to be shown when charging the phone while it is off?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
You can attach the video here, can be helpfull for everyone who have the same issue.

Yes, but you can request, if is possible, this option.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] aaaa12345:
Try to actually swipe (not only to the last 2 apps), it dosent work. Very annoying bug.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] jorgeepelos:
Check this video. When 2g/gsm network is enabled ghosting happens.......

A lot of hours of looking for this sssittttt

When 4g is enabled as you can see ghosts dissapear

Finally after 15 clean flashes
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] header2k:
Wow. Just changed to 2g outside a call and it immediately resulted in a ghost touch in the lower left spot, just like in your video. Now I wonder if this is caused by interference.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] jorgeepelos:
Yeah. I tought also that maybe an interference causes this. Hope thats only software. Because on miui ahve not any problem😅😅😅😅😅😅
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
Thanks you for the video, didn't understand much cause language, but the bug happens only when 4G is disabled? If i try to disable the 4G from the mobile menù i can reproduce the bug? Never did this because in my zone i always use 4G+, even on my Nexus 4 i used a radio mod to enable LTE. :D

Moreover i always disable mobile data when i do not use the phone to avoid unwanted background connections, maybe this is the reason why some people have the issue and some do not.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] jorgeepelos:
I didnt test more type networks. Bug happen whwn turn on gsm mode. When 4h is enabled working perfect

Didnt tried more mode conections

I use tooglenetworktype to change betwen all modes. When don use the phone i prefer stay on 2g. When want navigate or something i push 4g toogle and i can browse
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
I understand, thank you for the info, glad to see that you locate the issue.

edit:

Tried to force GSM (2G) and UMTS (3G) only but was not able to reproduce the bug while calling, need to test more in deep, guess is very random.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] jorgeepelos:
I got this error allways. On crdroid and arrow. Didnt tried more roms

Only xiaomi.eu and no bugs/ghosts
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
Both share same oss vendor so can be cause, Xiaomi.eu use eom vendor.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] frost19:
Mind if I ask what firmware are you on?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] jorgeepelos:
12.5.3.0
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] ianseer:
I cannot reproduce it, since my phone doesn't have the issues anymore, for now. Also, I already reported here.

and yes, it seems from what I heard is true... this is hw related issue. But, it seems already solved nicely with my methods (at least work for me) anyone cares to try and confirm it?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
Thank you for the update, according to the dev experience seems a panel hardware issue (Tianma manufacturer), above an user claim that is a GSM issue of oss vendor, not happening in MIUI, who knows where is the truth.

I'm wondering if is possible to check the panel manufacturer without opening the device... but if i had such issue i would have RMA it immediately for sure.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
Ok, found a way to check what display you have in your device, this procedure work with arrowOS very well.

Plug the device to pc and execute this command via adb:

adb bugreport

A zip will be generated in the same folder as adb.exe.

Unpack the zip, then open with notepad or better your browser the bugreport-vayu_global-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.txt file.

Search for msm_drm.dsi_display0, if the result is:

msm_drm.dsi_display0=dsi_j20s_42_02_0b, mean you have a China Star Optoelectronics Technology (CSOT), also called Shenzhen Huaxing Photoelectric Technology panel manufacturer

msm_drm.dsi_display0=dsi_j20s-36-02-0a, mean you have the Tianma manufacturer

I have the Huaxing (msm_drm.dsi_display0=dsi_j20s_42_02_0b), that people claim is not affected with the ghost issue.

If you have the ghost issue you can also check this and see if there is a sorta of truth behind the ghost issues and the Tianma panel.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] k3lcior:
You guys should probably make a separate thread for this issue as it's 99% not related to the custom ROM's we are just offtopic for the past XX pages. Go here and read the comments, pretty much everyone with the issue is on stock MIUI. And btw. there was poll made on 4pda and it's mostly people with tianma with the issue.

Edit: I have Tianma panel but never had this issue whatsoever so it's probably 100% random hardware issue due to sh*t quality control. (or lack of it)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
You are right, my bad too for fueling OT, btw, on the link you posted the dude solved changing the panel. :LOL:
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] k3lcior:
Also something people can test with the ghost touches - when it starts happening try plugging the phone into power outlet. (if it stops then it might be grounding issue)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] hakkai999:
Is this the ghosting issue? I don't think it's hardware related for me because it hasn't appeared anymore after doing the same thing kd276 said which was to flash Xiaomi.EU then flash back to Arrow. It seems to be related to swiping gestures when I swipe on the sides it appears. Very rarely but it appears.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] ianseer:
hardware related in here means... user with panel A doesn't have the problem... user with panel B has the problem, --- it seems this issue is fixable with flashing that method.... did you use gapps version arrow or vanilla version? can you reproduce the bug?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] hakkai999:
I'm using GApps. At the moment I can't cause I "fixed" it by using the method kd276 suggested.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] frost19:
Try downgrading or upgrading to 12.5.2.0 or 12.5.4.0. At least for me 12.5.3.0 has more touch issue than 12.5.2.0 (haven't tried 12.5.4.0 yet). Like others said, the underlying problem is probably a hardware issue so changing firmware will just lessen it, not a permanent solution.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] jorgeepelos:
On miui had not any problem. So is not hardware issue
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] jorgeepelos:
Had no problem never on miui. Sure thats rom problem. Derpfest had nt this bug

Only test arrow, crdroid, both same issue, miui, never

Theres no more? Its black or white...

Only have to try last firm
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kq​:
Is it possible to allow apps only a limited number of notifications in a time frame? E.g. I have a spammy group chat that makes my phone beep several times a minute sometimes, and i'd love to only get one (but not zero) notification for that. The in-app settings are no help.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Raci Kumar Sinha:
Guys i am having a lot of ghost touch issue after the recent update, is there any fix?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] 0b4:
Throw your phone in the trash. I'm planning to do the same. And just a friendly reminder for you and for myself also, never ever buy a Xiaomi or Poco phone. Sorry for the offtopic.

On topic: try a clean install, try another rom/kernel, try going back to previous version of Arrow OS, try going back to stock MIUI. But I assume none of this will fix the problem permanently. Or maybe try to get the screen replaced under warranty, but good luck with that. I had no luck, I got a ridiculous small amount of refund from the Spanish Poco Store and that's it.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Raci Kumar Sinha:
Yeah man i regret buying this phone sometimes, on paper it has top notch specs but the experience is just not good at all, i was so happy with my samsung m21, i shouldn't have bought this, anyways i will see if i get any fix for that
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] k3lcior:
I had A50 before (for over 2 years) and i agree Samsung is light years ahead in terms of software and generally everything "just works" out of the box and is very polished without having to fiddle with settings, mods and custom ROM's. Not to mention quality control you can be pretty confident the phone won't randomly get a ghost touches or some sensors stop working for no reason. But we paid $200 for SD865 so obviously they cut costs elsewhere like the LCD panels, trash cameras etc. But enough of the OT. ;)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Colonelex:
Updated to 29/08 patch. Changelogs seems to indicate the patch is about the camera but can't seem to feel any changes.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Raci Kumar Sinha:
I faced one more bug: my status bar and notification panel just disappeared, it only appears on the lock screen, i had to restart in order for it to work, ngl i might switch to pixel plus ui or some other custom rom, coz the latest update for arrow os has hell lot of bugs
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
If is under warranty, and i guess it is, RMA it immediately. I bought it directly from Xiaomi website, buy directly for the manufactuer can help hardware side (maybe).

Testing 08.29.2021 build.

edit

All ok, seems indeed a camera update.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] gzabka:
I'm facing some random reboots. Am I the only one? It's not often.. like twice a week. I just noticed because I have to unlock with the pin code everytime it restarts.

Most strange thing is that it turns off the mobile data when reboots.

I'm on last build, but I've been noticing since last 2 updates..
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] flgmnft:
I have same issue. Reboots once by 10-15 minutes. It starts from last update. And missing miui optimalisation i dev setting. So i can't install vanced YT. Missing smart charging too.

Ghost touching screen, solves by lock and unlock screen but i dont know is SW or HW issue.

And signal missing, refresh in few seconds and is ok but i think is not ok.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
That is MIUI feature. In ArrowOS, there's no such a thing.

This function is removed intentionally. Read earlier replies for the reason.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kq​:
I'm getting random-looking reboots sometimes. I mostly notice them when I listen to an ebook using AiReader, or listening to podcasts. In both cases, I think it only happens when I'm using a BT headset.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Colonelex:
Vanced YT working fine on my phone. I installed it via vanced manager. You can try this https://www.xda-developers.com/youtube-vanced-apk/
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] SupBurst:
I can't seem to get Google assistant working by calling "OK Google" on this room.

I think I've had this problem on all custom roms I've used outside of miui.eu but asking if anyone else has this problem.

If I swipe to call Google assistant it works fine but if I try to call it by voice nothing happens.

On the voice match menu in Google assistant, the ok Google option is ticked but the menu seems incomplete. It's missing the option to teach Google your own voice. This might be the problem or not but it's important to state it.

Included images for how it is and how it should be
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kq​:
Ok, Google just works for me. But I'm even more convinced that bluetooth audio causes reboots, I connected it to my car today and 3 phone reboots in a 10-minute drive.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Posadism:
I've only installed the last two updates over the initial install, no random reboots, no stability issues, maybe a few ghost touches but it was when I wasn't paying much attention, so not like a persistent intermittent problem as far as I can see. Overall a much better experience than the MIUI that came with the phone and easily my daily driver.

Oh, I can't get "OK Google" to work either, but it's not a huge priority, hitting the microphone is only a slight inconvenience.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] flgmnft:
Thanks. But now im on stock. Reboots make me crazy, once on 10-15 minutes. Yesterday i go to PixelUI and same issue. So i decided to flash stock rom. Since first time i flash arrow it start to lose gsm signal, signal loses for few seconds, dont need to restart. RIght now i don't have this problems. So i dont know it is hardware or software issue. Many users raported signal issue in Poco X3 phones. But in that case they need to restart or turn on airplane mode.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] CaptainBiscuit:
Hey folks, just unlocked bootloader and installed ArrowOS, all running nicely except...

It doesn't pass Safetynet! Discovered when I tried to pay for the bus today. It's 'CTS Profile Match' that's failing.

I'm unrooted and this is first custom ROM install (came from the latest MIUI in the UK/EU), with TWRP, any idea what might be the issue? Thinking of installing Magisk as a workaround but I'd rather keep it unrooted.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] javichu312:
+1 in the last build, i think that google update some app....
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Rhaegar85:
Please install Magisk and select magiskhide option. That should do it.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] chups:
it doesnt 'do it'. @javichu312 I can confirm that I'm having the same issues with the rom, and I'm not on the latest build; I already have magisk installed.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] SergiR0:
Hi there! I installed this ROM 3 months ago and have been very happy with it (awesome job!). I'm currently running the last release (installed a couple of days ago) and I just got a message saying that Google Pay was now disabled on the device, same as @chups and @CaptainBiscuit . I downloaded a couple SafetyNet checkers (SafetyNet Checker and SafetyNet Test) and the test fails on both. SafetyNet Checker fails on the CTS Profile Match option as well. The device is not rooted.

I'm wondering if the last update is causing the issue? Or something changed on Google's side?

Also, is Magisk the only option to fix it?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] chups:
it's probably something other than the rom (as previously stated, I'm not on the latest build), and magisk wont fix it, as my x3 pro is already rooted, and using magisk hide.

actually the same thing prompted me to check safetynet, gpay being disabled. everything was fine until today.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] SergiR0:
My apologies, I missed the part where you said you weren't running the last build. I guess my questions should have been: is there anything else we can try besides Magisk hide?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] tofiq94:
hi dudes!!!

how to fix extremely bright (if compare to miui) lowest brightness level???

impossible use phone at night without eyepain
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] chups:
nothing to apologize for, what I'm saying is that magisk hide wont fix it.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] i_sagnik:
I use Darker (from playstore) to dim the screen brightness. The app also has a quick action tile in the notification tab!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] i_sagnik:
Guys, can I use Global 12.5.4 firmware in my bhima (indian variant) as blobs when installing latest 29/8/2021 Arrow OS build?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] tofiq94:
but its not fix, i dont wanna one more app in my memory, is there any fix of this problem??? arrow developer cares this problem?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] i_sagnik:
This^ ?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] SupBurst:
It's a problem related to magisk, even john wu tweeted about it. Theres a whole thread here on xda dedicated to fix this problem and also on the poco x3 pro telegram. I will leave it here for the folks who are having issues.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] ArakiSatoshi:
So Google Pay doesn't work? Even on the 29/08 build? I heard Google hired the guy behind Magisk and he stopped supporting MagiskHide, I wonder if that's the reason. I'm on the stock MIUI wanting to flash Arrow, but that's terrible news that some people report SafetyNet issues.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] chups:
cool, thank you for the resources. I did find some info after my earlier posts but it seemed like too much of a headache to make it work; I will go over the ones that you've posted though, the first option looks much easier than what I originally discovered.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] SergiR0:
But my phone is not rooted and never installed Magisk but I still got the SafetyNet issue. I'll try the Magisk route when I have time
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] k3lcior:
Google patched something.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] tofiq94:
who is developer of this ROM? will u fix brightness problem at next update and when? if no pls inform, i will move to lineage or crdroid, lowest brightness on arrow is trash
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] MrKartupelis:
Developer of this ROM definitely is not paid by Xiaomi themselfs and is not obliged to spend his valuable time to improve / fix stuff on a ROM that is voluntarily maintained, yet he does. Instead, be thankful that OP still improves upon an AOSP based ROM which X3 Pro is not designed for originally. Please do not ask for ETAs. If you have any problem about the ROM itself, follow this guide by OP: https://blog.arrowos.net/how-to-report-a-bug/
