Thank you so much
Nice rom
This dude has done a great job . Thank you take
Thanks for the Christmas present.
Will download now and try it on my SM-A507N
New builds have been uploaded for non-NFC variants! This will remove NFC toggle and settings from the device.
Otherwise, this is identical to the builds released earlier.
The links on the OP have been updated. :>
I'm in love with this thread design lol
Thanks for the rom ♡
It seems that Google Drive has rate-limited downloads for the addons. While the ROM is mirrored to MEGA, the addons weren't.
All addon downloads have been moved to MEGA. I might need to find a better file-sharing service if this continues. ._.
Thank you soooo much for your hard work
This rom have Secure folder working? Thanks!

Samsung has hardened Secure Folder on OneUI 2.5. There is currently no way to get Secure Folder working on latest firmwares.
I forget to wipe my phone as I was on SyneXOS v2.0.1 an flashed it.
To my surprise there was no errors after rebooting it and all seems to work without a problem at the moment.
The only option I miss is the "caller id spam protection" I don't know if you can add it when you do the next update.
As that feature safes me allot of spam phone calls.
Thanks for the great rom

Very glad to know that FreshROM is cross-flashable with One UI 2.1! :>
Let me know what OMC your phone is using so I can enable Smart Call (Caller ID and Spam Protection) in the next update.

1. If you're using a Magisk module to pass SafetyNet (i.e. MagiskHide Props), disable it first so system can dexopt (thinks it had a software update). Successful migration from other One UI-based ROMs is not guaranteed so backups are very recommended.
2. Samsung Account is accessible on FreshROM with RefinedKernel, at least for me.

Also Samsung account is working.

Based on 8 Years of research and testing, made with Passion! The Snappatch sets Quality over Quantity...

EDIT: UPLOADED
Let Me know how it goes! I just own the XZ Premium
Hello,
I have tried it in the XZ1, i flashed the latest firmware, ending in 145, formated data twice, mounted the storage in recovery, copied the 2 files, tried flashing the zip, it failed with error 7, i have modifed the updater script, because the model was maple, and not poplar, flashed ok, booted ok, with the pixel notification, when i tried setting it up, there was no keyboard to input the password to my wifi network, removed the password, tried again but the setup fails, it says google play services stopped, and does not go forward. I ve tried flashing open gapps, but still no luck.
Thank you for your efforts.
Help as please.....
I'm giving it error 7, the idea is that I found on youtube several things that were about to unpack the zip to look for a script and delete something from the script, all those videos in the script show something else to be deleted from the script, I tried to I delete something, the first row with "assert" but gave me error6 .... maybe I did not delete what need to work, maybe not have all the row deleted ... Thanks
Replace maple with poplar in the first row. It appears 3 times.
have it need unlock！

It works, but there are 4 "maple" and there is ("This package is for" maple \ "devices car needs to be replaced ... Unfortunately, she tells me he can not sync with Google and the black screen remains
Sounds like the included GApps are not flashing right. Since Chrome is removed am i forcing a WebView install besides the Google Keyboard, Pixel Launcher and so on. It should all be there and working without further Edits or Tricks. I checked also the Updater Script and i really missed to remove the Device Checks before uploading. I will upload fixed Versions as soon as i can. Until that please check out if something was wrong while flashing and provide Logs from TWRP if possible (Got to Advanced, Copy Log after flashing).
Looking forward to give You a working Stock Patch! Think we can handle that
Nice...

I'm looking forward to solving the next update, these are the problems, the problem with the error7 which is solved by zip unpacking and "maple" with "popolar" and this problem can not be done because you can not synchronize with google and it remains in black screen after trying to search for updates, I tried to flash Pico Package for Google Package Installer and Google Play services but it does not work,same problem and the stockpackage is got bootloap probably because google installed Ventor, I'm waiting for you to solve these problems, is overtake me ... thank you

Hi,
I am downloading the patch for my 8342 version (stock) but I cannot see the snap.prop file within this folder.
I have checked the other XZ1 variant and all are having it.
Could you please confirm that I also need this file to proceed ?
If yes, could you please upload it ?

HOW TO INSTALL & UPDATE
CLEAN INSTALLATION IS NEEDED
Flash the latest firmware with Newflasher
Fully boot it once and check everything is alright(skip every connection to make your way to homescreen)
Flash and boot the recovery twrp-3.5 given in this post
Format data and factory wipe(swipe the slider in 'wipe')
Flash ROM
Flash any addons (GApps, Magisk...)
Reboot and profit!
How to update from a older ArrowOS?
- Flash the ROM
- Flash Nikgapps/Addons
- Reboot
(Seems NikGApps does support backup script. It can Backup/Restore anything installed from NikGApps zip and Addon zip, during installing ROM. Reflash them to restore.)
You won't need to flash gapps if the new update zip name include "gapps", you can just flash it on the top of vanilla version.

tell me the experience, what doesn't work, etc...
So, If you get any bug like sim not working you can go to settings-> xperia parts -> modem switcher activity and set the first one. although this sacrifices ims, you will get sim working... just be a little patient : ).. you could also try the network switcher thingy, it could also work...

Great work. Nice to have another rom for XZ1.
Waiting eagerly to test dsds version.
It seems ArrowOS doesn't have Live Display option included. If it's true, is there a reason for it, that you know of?

I will test the quick charging, about the restoring of call history & messages, I usually use the Migrate for backup and restore them with migrate, it backup all your apps, apps data, and call& message history in a flashable zip, really handy, you can find it on play store, I wonder it support to Android 11 yet, I use on 10

ArrowOS is based on AOSP, for LiveDisplay or stock sony camera you must find rom based not on AOSP, but on example LineageOS.

So all AOSP based roms lack Live Display. it's a shame.

It is not shame. Is pure android. In my logic if you want pure system, go 4 Pixel devices not for Sony. Pixel experience rom (unofficial) offer these settings. Why i must leave things what offer Sony devices only ? Because pure stock android. But if you want more battery/performance, go for EAS AOSP.

I just said it's a shame that Live Display isn't present. It means "what a pity, I wish it had that as well". Not that big of a deal.
So if this one is based on AOSP, does it have Camera2 API support?

If you want LiveDisplay, go for another rom which isnt based on AOSP or Treble. This is easily AOSP rom so these settings arent present here. I had tested plenty ROMs for XZ1 and XZ1c, so i know which ROMs have these settings and what is best for this device.

Flashable zip to enable encryption is in this post
How to enable encryption
I posted this in Telegram Channel :"One important thing is the encryption thing and I know the majority voted for it to be included but I'm truly sorry to go against the majority as encryption will make my development work much slower and there will be always a risk to lose data from my side which I can't afford. So no force encryption in arrow-12.1 and it won't work unless it was forced at boot(changed in fstab).However I'm planning to provide a flashable file that will enable encryption but it need further testing to make sure everything is working correctly.I hope everyone understand my decision and sorry again if you don't agree with it."Flashing InstructionSteps : Coming from Arrow 12.0 or different ROMs1-Wipe vendor , system , data , cache2- Flash Rom , gapps (for Vanilla version) and magisk (if needed) 3- RebootFrom unofficial Arrow 12.1Drifty flash.

It is already mentioned in the OP that , "samsung proprietary apps wont work" in any of the AOSP ROMs. That includes, Samsung Camera also which can not be ported to AOSP ROMs.
N960N can use this rom
Been using this rom for about 4 days now and I must say it's just perfect. So far I haven't encounter any bugs, the performance is great and the ui is stunning. Highly recommend it. Device - Note 9

Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy Note 9 can now run Android 12, unofficially
The Samsung Galaxy S9, S9 Plus, and Galaxy Note 9 have received unofficial ports of Android 12 through the ArrowOS custom ROM. Read on!
www.xda-developers.com
I have a "Verizon" Note 9. Is it possible for me to upgrade to Android 12 or is my phone locked? My understanding is that Verizon locks their Samsung phones.
I tried to install it, but it enters the download location and stays, can you help?
I was installing this rom and was coming from noble rom. I did not do a proper wipe after which now the phone is dead. I am not seeing any thing. When I press power button i dont see any thing. Only force restart works (volume down and power button) but after that nothing happens. Any idea how to fix.

1. maybe wait for FN build
2. try the device in other phones. or wait longer.
3. use apps in play store
Found a couple of bugs:
1. Weird red screen border for less than a second, right after unlock
2. Lock screen uncentered
3. Bluetooth headphones don't work on any kind of call
4. Battery draining quite fast
So far that's it! I'm planning on using this as a daily driver, so I'll keep posting other bugs I find!
Keep up the good work!!!

Why do all AOSP based ROMs have issues with USB DAC's? (Android 12)
Found the solution for "Not Enough Storage Space" on my A50 SM-A505FN from above:
Reboot to TWRP recovery and go to Wipe
Select partitions to wipe: "System"
Push Button "Repair or change file system"
Push Button "Change File System" and select EXT4 and confirm
Do last step above again to go back to F2FS and confirm
Install "PixelExtended_a505fn-12.0-20220129-1357-UNOFFICIAL-FIX.zip" and reboot
Hope this will help somebody too

FAQQ: How can I report a bug?
A: Try and be as detailed as possible on how you encountered the bug. If you can include a logcat then even better. The more information provided the more likely it is to get the bug fixed. Unfortunately, I do not own this device and have to depend on users to help each other fix any bugs encountered.
Q: Can I flash this ROM without wiping my phone (dirty flash)?
A: There have been reports of this being successful, but I never do it myself nor do I ever recommend it. I always try to use the same bases to make the ROMs so in theory it can be done similar to an OTA update. All up to you, but I will ignore any reports of bad performance
Q: Help, I'm getting "secure check fail :" what should I do?
A: This is usually an error produced by mismatch in bootloader and the ROM images. To fix this, the easiest way is to install the latest stock firmware or the firmware best close to the version of the ROM you want to install (install February 2023 firmware if you want to install NcX February 2023 or install stock March 2023 firmware if you want to install NcX March 2023...etc...)
Q: Why aren't OTA updates installed automatically?
A: There's a bit of unfortunate news regarding this. Current OTA updates depend on TWRP's openrecoveryscript which seem to be broken on the latest TWRP official releases on both my A52s and A52 (might also be broken on M52). I don't like bothering TWRP devs or maintainers so I've passed on reporting it because it's really not widely used and for some reason stuff like crDroid OTA works fine on it. It could be that I'm working with outdated code but I'm not skilled enough to fix it.
If you want to keep using the latest TWRP, the way you install OTA's is following:
Download the update when available
When pressing Install, it should reboot to recovery. If it doesn't because you don't have Magisk installed, reboot to recovery manually
Once in recovery, select Flash on TWRP or directly navigate to the following directory with OrangeFox
sdcard/Android/data/com.mesalabs.ten.update/files
Flash the zip in the directory and wait for update to finish
[Optional] Wipe cache and dalvik cache
Reboot to system
This may be fixed in the future but for now, this is the current state of OTA updates

if enabled during installation, you can notice that the elements behind it, in the notification bar for example, are not static like in stock, they continue to show/play behind.

Don't let the screen sleep/turn off during step 1 installation or it can cancel it. It's a bug I've seen on most phones.
I've uploaded the January build and updated the OP with a few changes.
The important thing to note here is the following:
The January patch cannot be used with MCK kernel at the moment
Also, in order to use the January version you need to be officially updated to the official January patch for M52 which means you will not be able to downgrade anymore since January official release bumps the Bootloader version to S2
Do not try to flash the January build of the ROM with U1 bootloader
