Nice work!

Can this be flashed with twrp?

Thrilled to see this! Any known issues like DTW and/or Adaptive Brightness not working? Or no known issues at this point?

First of all thank you for this amazing ROM! I noticed that Bluetooth audio works fine but when you plug in headsets/headphones they still produce sounds from the speakers and not the headphones/headsets. WiFi is also a tad bit weak so I transitioned to ArrowOS. Thank you again for the good work. I appreciate it!

heyho i have a few questions about this rom. Is it possible to install a own gapps packet like the pico variant? If yes which one should i use? Arm64/Android 11/Pico is this the right package?
Whats about root can i flash magisk for rooting?

I am not sure about the gapps, but as for the rooting Magisk works for me just fine.

I'm new to all this, so I hope I do this right, but I bought this phone specifically to be a 5G hotspot, and OnePlus disabled 5G after Android 11 update.
I'm on build number 11.0.3.BE89BA, so EU model, and before I take the plunge into installing custom ROM for the first time since I owned an LG G3 like 7 years ago, I'd like to at least confirm this will work on my build and it will re-enable 5G.
Thank you for answering, and if you have any extra tips or info how to make it as easy as possible, I'd be grateful.
EDIT: I've followed the instructions to the best of my understanding, and it gets stuck at 47%, which I've heard is normal, but I always reboot into stock firmware. I tried it at least 5 times so far, even following Youtube videos (different OnePlus phones on YT though), but the result is always the same. Instructions say nothing about TWRP, but can I maybe try that way?

@wanamy thx for your reply good to read. For gapps i google it and from what i read on other phones with dotos it works flashing after the Dotos. So i guess it should be okay. Will try it at the weekend when i have time.

I MsM back to stock rom which for me was version 10 at which point I needed to update os to 11 twice to make sure that 11 was on both partitions. After that I unlocked, flashed recovery, reboot recovery, format data, adb sideload rom, then adb sideload partition fix, then reboot to bootloader, fastboot--set-active=a( or b depending on what partition you were on. you want to be on the other partition), boot back into recovery, adb sideload rom again for the different partition, format data again, then reboot. works fine for me. here is the link for the copy partition zip https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=2188818919693768129

Hey man, thank you for the help, but I'm really bad at understanding this, so please have some patience with me asking a few questions. I've only started looking into this a couple of hours ago, and I'm not the most tech savy when it comes to phones.
I don't know what MsM is, but I'll look around the forum and try to find more info. Question is, do I really need to flash back to 10 just to install 11 again, since I'm already on an official 11? Honestly, I'm not really sure my phone ever was on 10, I just know when I got the phone I updated to the new firmware straight out of the box, then discovered about 5G being turned off in 11 afterwards.
I've read about partitions in comments for Pixel Experience Custom ROM, and I've tried to do that, but Powershell insisted there's only partition A, and no matter what I would do it wouldn't switch. Is that the zip file for? How do I use it?

Did you go into fastboot or fastbootd?
Fastboot allows you to switch slots, fastbootd does not.
fastboot --set-active=a and the commands pertaining to dynamic partitions also requires a newer version of adb and fastboot. Old version will just give you an "unknown command" response.

If your on stock 11 then no shouldn't need to MsM. I've tried the rom for a few days. At first it was pretty good. noticed some wifi glitching and although it would allow me to establish a hot spot, it did not allow internet access doing it. So I never was able to get the hos spot working.

I followed the instructions a few times and I'm sure I typed fastboot not fastbootd, unless that has nothing to do with entering fastbootd. As for the versions, I've downloaded the Platform tools r32 from the adb tutorial on this website, which I guess is the newest version. I also tried the 15 second adb tool I found on some youtube tutorial, but CMD just immediately crashes when I tried to run it, so I had to do everything in Poweshell. When I tried to switch partition powershell would say something in the lines of "looking for any device", then pretty much freeze and get unstuck 30 seconds later with nothing happening.

Oof, that's a deal breaker for me, hotspot is a must for me. I'll try another ROM and hopefully I have more luck with it. The thing is, I don't know if it's stock 11 or not, I've never checked, my phone just pretty much downloaded a software update on the first run and I clicked install without thinking too much about it.

Cant sideload the ROM. I get the following error

usually get that error if your coming from the wrong Os or from a custom rom. Are you running stock OOS 11 on your phone?

Are you typing in adb reboot bootloader or adb reboot fastboot?
Bootloader leads to official fastboot.
Fastboot leads to fastbootd which doesn't do the fastboot things oddly enough.

I'm coming from OOS11. My device is the Metro version. Apparently these new ROMS only work on the global devices

I'm typing ./adb reboot bootloader. Like I've said, my knowledge is limited, so I've followed the tutorial word for word. Anyway, I'll have a few days off next week, so I'll try to do all sorts of things, starting with downgrading to OOS10 with MSM. That by itself should fix my 5g problem, and if it doesn't then I'll do more Custom ROM shenanigans.

I always use the recovery program and go all the way back to stock before installing a ROM. It takes more time and is more complicated that way but if I encounter a problem, I know it's the new ROM and not carryover garbage from the old one.
So far, everything is working. VoLTE, GPS, QS Tiles, etc. Battery life seems good. Performance is good. No crashes or reboots.
Seems to be solid.
Thank you. Your work and efforts are appreciated.
I'm gonna dirty flash on top of the dpcioc build from the previous thread. I had to wipe data to get that one to boot coming from the asineth build. I'll let you know what happens.
EDIT: Doesn't work. lol
Hi I'm new to custom roms. What is the difference between the first zip file with images and the 2nd zip file on this post? Thanks!
Never mind. I posted my question before the files downloaded and clearly see the differences afterwards.
Update: Great success!!! Had 0 issues installing this. Thank you for the code as well!
I finally tried to install. Dirty flash over asineth's LOS 17.1.
Sideload did not worked phone rebooted and entered into TWRP. So I tried flashing from fastboot and that worked. I lost apps, but it remebered my PIN.
I have only one issue - hotspot works, but when I turn it off, phone reboots.

I never use hotspot so I hadn't checked it out. I tried it and my phone reacts the same way as yours does.
SO as I understand there is no need a computer for this
SO this my very first time doing this and just wanted to be clear do I or do I not need a computer

Doesn't work, after reboot the command line says "waiting for any devices". Can't continue.
Every year I try some Android device and venture to XDA to try some custom ROMs. It never works.

This is a very stable and well presented ROM. It is also very easy to install.
I'm not trying to be a ****, but with all the questions you have, you obviously have no idea what you are doing! If other people are successfully installing and using a ROM and you can't, the problem is not the ROM.
For starters, is your bootloader unlocked? If not, you need to do that before trying anything. If you don't know how, use search.
Most of your answers are here
"Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion"​Do your homework first and read everything you can.
So after a few days everything still seems really good. One flaw I've just realized is that screen recorder doesn't work and forces the phone to restart after launching.
Not really a deal breaker for me since I very rarely use the app and its not really necessary for my purposes. Just thought I'd test it out, since I think I remember seeing in another thread here how this was happening with another custom rom for this device

Not really a deal breaker for me since I very rarely use the app and its not really necessary for my purposes. Just thought I'd test it out, since I think I remember seeing in another thread here how this was happening with another custom rom for this device

This is true. The ones from the play store will work.

OK, thanks for information. I can verify that the bug is there, it restarted.
I merged github repos with some more updated (Odin1101) and it's compiling.

No idea how these files differ, which one do I use or how.
No idea what this means or why is it important and listed as second most important paragraph.
Don't know what that means.
Don't know what `fastbootd` mode is.
Doesn't work, after reboot the command line says "waiting for any devices". Can't continue.
Every year I try some Android device and venture to XDA to try some custom ROMs. It never works.

Sorry to hear, but you know as it was suggested to you - try to study a little bit more before. Hope you can make it next time.

Agh, plain AOSP. I miss Havoc already.
Testing it out and everything thing seems smooth. I did find one minor issue for the people that like their temperatures in imperial units. You can change the lockscreen temp to imperial and it displays an F for farenheit but the temperature value is still Cecius.
Flashed twrp using minimal adb to recovery and recovery_b. Flashed arrow after formatting. Now I have no mobile data connection. Also getting: access point name settings are not available for this user, under apn. Tried fastboot erase modemst2, resetting, installing other roms doesn't work either. I'm on XT2041DL. Thoughts?

You will need to go back to rooted stock, and copy your apn_conf.xml file from product/etc to your sd card, amd replace it on arrow (or another rom)

Closest thing to havoc is crDroid ATM mate, it's on the forums here
This ROM is marked as only being compatible with sofiar, but I can confirm that everything seems to work on my sofia device.
Also, I had a problem when installing and I thought I should warn others. When I tried to install with TWRP, it failed and always booted back to TWRP when I tried to boot to system. When I tried the fastbootd method, it also failed because fastbootd is not available when TWRP is installed. Instead, I did this:
1. Skip the step of installing TWRP. It messes things up. You may be able to install it later, but I don't want to take my chances.
2. For the "format data" part in TWRP, run
Code:
fastboot -w
instead.
3. Instead of rebooting to fastboot from TWRP, run
Code:
fastboot reboot fastboot
.
4. Continue with the steps of installing boot, vbmeta, product, and system with fastboot.
Edit: It turns out I was using the wrong build of TWRP. Use the one linked in the original post, not the one elsewhere on the forums.

I just noticed that. I was using the TWRP build from https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/sofia-p-r-recovery-wip-twrp-3-4-0-0.4128353/ because I assumed that was what the link was for. Thank you.
Apps aren't able to see registered fingerprints. Fingerprint auth is grayed out and the apps complain "register fingerprints on the device settings".
I have tried:
Deleting and redoing fingerprints (just one and multiple) with and without rebooting.
Confirmed the fingerprints work for screen unlock and gestures.
Re-installed 08-04-21 Vanilla build with full format, issue persists.
Anything I missed to check? I do not have my phone rooted, so cannot see system logs using the logging app.
Using sofiar (moto g8 power). Tested the apps themselves on my second phone klte (Samsung S5 Lineageos 16) and fingerprints work just fine there.
Ok so I am so frustrated with this Moto G power , If anyone can please tell me what I am doing wrong...I have rooted and ran mutliple custome roms since back in the Jelly bean days but I have always been able to do all the fundamentals of owning root and making the most of my phone.. You guys have always been helpful . SO when i attempt flash a custom rom through adb folder ( because I think you cannot flash custom roms with twrp at all) attemtp to follow your instructions to the T
but every time after install of custom , and thats any custom rom i try to boot it up for first time , prior to re-twrping, adding gapps, or magisk rooting and it literally just stays on the new rom animation for hours until i give up and I have to rescue it with lenovo'S rescue tool . Any help would be awesome ?

You need to install the official android 10 rom to your phone using the moto flash tool linked in the first post. After that you can install custom roms from fastbootd with the first page instructions.
Android 11 official rom has some changed encryption stuff which I think is responsible for the infinite boot on custom roms when flashed over it. That's why you need to downgrade to android 10 first.
ok because I am on android 11 when it is back to stock flashed. I am using the lenovo tool and it is installing rpms31.q1.54-13-2_subsidy . So to clarify I need to roll back to android 10 to be able to flash any custom roms ? Or is there 11s that will work with a different method to flash them?

I'm not the person with the problem, but thank you for the explanation. I installed my ROMs before Android 11 came out for this phone and I was planning to test the stock Android 11 ROM, so this information will be very useful.

I believe you have to roll back to Android 10. Custom Android 11 ROMs may work, but you can't install custom ROMs so that doesn't help.
actually it is rescuing me to android 11 no matter what i do

Is this an update, and if so do you update through the recovery. Also does updating reset userdata
For some reason adb sideload stops at 47% and I see step 2/2 on my screen. With no indication of it's complete or not. Upon backing out it immediately says complete but doesn't boot, and instead boots into the bootloader

If it gets to 47% it's finished. (It happens with every recovery and rom for some reason)
It goes right to the bootloader because you have to flash both slots with the rom.
You're halfway there basically.
Use fastboot to switch slots and sideload PE again.
You should be all good to go, just make sure to factory reset after sideloading.

It is not an update, you can't go from the previous version of pixel experience to this one.
Unlike the previous version which requires you being on Android 10 before installing pixel experience, you've gotta be on Android 11.
You'd lose user data by having to go back to stock for the Android 11 update (again when unlocking bootloader, and again if you choose to format your device after installing the rom)
It's a bit of time, but the effort is definitely worth it if you have somewhere to store your files momentarily.

I'll try and test this myself soon, I haven't been driving much lately so it's a tough thing to test
Make sure you try re-pairing your phone with the vehicle. and by that I mean, entirely delete it from your vehicle as well as delete the pairing in the phone itself. set it up as if it's a new device, and see if that makes a difference
Will try it later to see if it works, otherwise this is a very solid build so thank you for making this!
Now I may habve missed this through the pages but I am getting
"Eackage is for product OnePlusN10 but expected OnePlusNordN10" one device and on laptop cmd it says "failed to read command" is that because I need to flash both slots or is this soem other error?

Do you happen to be using the metro version of the Nord n10? (Or TMobile since they're basically the same phone.)

I am using t mobile. How ever I did figure it out.... It was ignorant for me to do this but... I didnt realize how PE was suppose to look and when it booted up for the first time I thought it was just stock oneplus OOS.... This time i flashed both a/b and when I booted it was the same thing so I was doing it right all along just failed to realize that it isnt really any different than stock at least from the cosmetic.
Trying to install this but when I get to adb sideload rom.zip (I did rename it after several failed attempts with it's original name). I keep getting
E:\Profile\Desktop>adb sideload rom.zip
loading: 'rom.zip'
* cannot read 'rom.zip' *
Any suggestions?
happened to me. I tried to install over a custom rom that had os11 on it, but it did not like it and kept giving me the same "cannot read" error. I MsM back to stock rom which for me was version 10 at which point I needed to update os to 11 twice to make sure that 11 was on both partitions. After that I unlocked, flashed recovery, reboot recovery, format data, adb sideload rom, then adb sideload partition fix, then reboot to bootloader, fastboot--set-active=a( or b depending on what partition you were on. you want to be on the other partition), boot back into recovery, adb sideload rom again for the different partition, format data again, then reboot. works fine for me.

arrow os installation in nord n10 5G with 100% working method
Just wanted to say that I've been having a hell of a time lately getting my N10 5g back up and running properly everything fails in twrp or otherwise. First install attempt with arrow well see for yourself. Works wonderfully so far.
How long should I be watching the boot screen? I have had problems getting almost anything to install on this phone, I though OP was supposed to be more friendly to tinkerers! That being said, Orangefox Recovery installed like a champ, Arrow seemed to flash without any problem, now I'm going on 30min watching the Arrow icon on the boot screen. Am I stuck in a bootloop? There hasn't been any noticeable restarting of the boot screen animation
***Please ignore my question, after watching the install video I realized I was missing a couple crucial steps. Arrow is installed and working perfect!***

Only been running for a couple days but I haven't had one single problem out of it.
Honestly, when I get the time I want to install this ROM since I pretty much ripped everything google related out of pixel experience when I realized that I didn't have to.
I might post the step-by-step instructions I followed

INSTRUCTIONS (leave a like so that more people see this):
So everything is going well but here is how I did it (Note be sure to have a computer with android-tools (for adb and fastboot):
1. make sure your device is unlocked
2. Download your desired version of the rom (Vanilla or GAPPS, I picked Vanilla), the boot image (for rooting with magisk or flashing if you have another rom previously installed), and the recovery image
3. From within your normal rom, make sure adb debugging is enabled then do "adb reboot bootloader"
4. Flash the recovery image with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
5. Perform a system wipe from within the recovery
6. Go to apply update then choose apply from ADB
7. adb sideload rom.zip
8. Voila
With my phone I had to repeat steps 4-7 again in slot a(or b)* and flash the boot image on both slots*
*Enter fastboot mode and enter fastboot --set-active=(a/b)
*fastboot flash boot.img
Side Note: it can be finicky entering fastboot mode so make sure you reboot to a screen that says one plus fastboot mode or something of the sorts

Which stock camera app, the one plus camera app or the google one? On the Vanilla version is came with the one plus camera app which I disabled and replaced with SImple Camera.
For the google one, I bet you could find the apk or on the play store/aurora store.
Also I'm glad I was able to help!

How To Guide Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 2021 (SM-X200) Android 12 / Android 13 Treble flash Guide

Your warranty will be void after any of these procedures.
* I am not responsible for the outcome for using any of this information, e.g. bricked devices, dead devices, boot loops
* do some research regarding flashing, custom ROM and unlocking bootloaders
* you chose to make these modifications under your own responsibility.
The following guide is for flashing any Treble Project compatible ROM (GSI) on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 2021 (SM-X200)​What's working on android 12 / 12.1 ROMs :
Everything
What's working on android 13 ROMs :
Everything
There are two ways of flashing GSI, generic system images, for treble compatible devices:
ROM flash from fastboot mode.
Dynamic System Updates (DSU) loading
Prerequisites:​
First you should check if your device is treble compatible, this has been already checked by me. Here's the app link for checking it if you make sure yourself
Then you should unlock your bootloader and flash TWRP, here's the link for it
Enable ADB over USB.
Wipe the Data Partition from TWRP
You can root with Magisk if you like.
Option 1 ROM flash from fastboot mode:​This is my preferred mode
Instructions:
Turn off the device and Hold Power & Vol Up buttons during restart to enter TWRP recovery
Format data from TWRP and wipe all partitions
Navigate to reboot and select Fastboot mode
Download a GSI image, including LineageOS, Google Android, AOSP, or any other custom GSI Treble compatible ROM for AB partition scheme.
fastboot flash system system.img
also a fastboot -w after flashing for additional wiping wouldn't hurt
IMPORTANT: remember to always only flash *.img files, never flash zip, img.xz, img.tar, gz, or img.tar.zx files, look for the tools for unzipping these file formats and always extract just the system.img file for these procedures. NEVER flash the vbmeta.img this can brick your device
Option 2 Dynamic System Updates (DSU) loading:​Instructions:
Enable the DSU feature flag​Before using DSU, ensure the corresponding feature flag is enabled. You can enable the flag using one of the following methods:
On a device with a userdebug Android build: You can enable the feature in Settings > System > Developer options > Feature flags > settings_dynamic_system.
On other devices: Use the following adb command:
adb shell setprop persist.sys.fflag.override.settings_dynamic_system true
Launch DSU​After the feature is enabled, launch DSU using the adb tool.
Download a GSI image, including LineageOS, Google Android, or any other custom GSI Treble compatible ROM for AB partition scheme.
Note: If you build your own GSI from source, or if you download a GSI from another image server, your GSI might not be unsparsed. Use the following command inside your build tree to convert the image to an unsparsed image: simg2img system.img system_raw.img
gzip the GSIand then Push the GSI to the device:
gzip -c system_raw.img > system_raw.gz
adb push system_raw.gz /storage/emulated/0/Download/
Launch DSU using adb.
adb shell am start-activity \
-n com.android.dynsystem/com.android.dynsystem.VerificationActivity \
-a android.os.image.action.START_INSTALL \
-d file:///storage/emulated/0/Download/system_raw.gz \
--el KEY_SYSTEM_SIZE $(du -b *.img|cut -f1) \
--el KEY_USERDATA_SIZE 8589934592
The KEY_SYSTEM_SIZE should be for the uncompressed image file, otherwise it will fail
IMPORTANT: remember to always only flash *.img files, never flash zip, img.xz, img.tar, gz, or img.tar.zx files, look for the tools to uncompressed these file formats and always extract always the system.img file for these procedures. NEVER flash the vbmeta.img this can brick your device
Boot into the GSI​
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Figure 1. A persistent notification that you can use to control DSU.
After DSU installs the GSI, a DSU menu appears as a persistent notification inside the system notification drawer (see figure 1).
At this point, you can do one of the following:
Boot into the GSI by tapping Restart.
Clean up the GSI by tapping Discard.
Switch back to the device's original system image​After you are done testing your app using the GSI, you can perform a cold reboot to boot the system back into its original system image.
When setting the next reboot to use a GSI, you can have the GSI stay installed through multiple boot cycles (until discarded) by enabling sticky mode, or have it used for only one boot cycle by disabling sticky mode.
The following command enables sticky mode:
adb shell gsi_tool enable
The following commands disable sticky mode:
adb shell gsi_tool disable
adb shell gsi_tool enable -s
adb shell gsi_tool disable
Install GSIs using DSU and the DSU Loader​Android 11 introduced the DSU Loader, a tool available in the device's developer options that lets you download, install, and manage GSIs entirely through the system's UI.
To install a GSI using the DSU Loader, follow these steps on a device running Android 11 or higher:
Enable developer options on your device.
Open your device's Settings app, then tap Developer options > DSU Loader.
Choose the GSI that you want to install on your device.
Agree to the GSI terms and conditions.
After you agree to the terms and conditions, the GSI that you selected starts downloading. You can check the status of the download through the DSU notification.
After the download has finished, tap Restart to boot the GSI.
When you want to switch back to your device's original system image, tap Restart from the DSU system notification.

​Thanks to Magendanz for the TWRP recovery​

			
				
Does anyone know if selinux and encryption work with this gsi?
only issue is rainbow six mobile and pubg new state detect it as a emulator so how would we fix this?
Twrp keeps saying entering fastboot but never does.
I think it was using older versions of adb and usb drivers

When it says that, try checking "fastboot devices" from the PC. I think you'll find you are in fastboot mode.
Does this trip knox like on s22 etc, or does it go back to normal if you restore back to original and relock bootloader?

AFAIK, the knox bit is a physical "fuse" and once it is tripped, it will never restore back. But normally Sansung will still honor the warranty so long as you go back to a stock ROM and relock the bootloader. That will also re-enable OTA updates.

It isn't just Samsung. Installing a custom ROM or rooting your device will void the warranty with all makers. But at least Samsung will still honor the warranty unless there is some indication that what you did caused the problem. Like bricking the device. But if it is really a hardware problem, they'll still fix it for free during the warranty period.

I know what you meant. Yes, the warranty bit is blown. But as I said, Samsung will honor it anyway unless they feel something you did caused the problem. Of course, you will still have to reflash to a stock rom, relock the bootloader and factory reset before sending in for repair.

Maybe I'll try it then. I like a lot about this tablet but god is it sluggish on OneUi. Games and all that work fine (even smooooth) but animations and stuff on OneUI are just.... wow

There is a fix for that. It has to do with using ADB to change the options for how to size the ramdisk to zero. You might try googling "Samsong One Ui laggy". Lineage doesn't have One Ui so it doesn't have the problem.

The SM-X200 is a budget device so if you've had a higher end Sam tab then yeah this will seem very slow
Hey all. I just recently bought a Tab A8 32GB and was looking for a way to load a ROM on it so I can use the SD Card as internal storage.
I found this guide, but I'm not seeing some of the steps it says to take on my device. I've enabled Developer Options, but I don't see the DSU/GSI stuff. Nor the 'feature flag' to turn that on.
I know back in the old days all you have to do way flash a recovery image and then you could load the ROM from recovery. Is that still the basic process? Can I flash TWRP and then flash the ROM, or is more detailed now than that?

The full process for flashing is in the first post, in case you don't have the DSU option
