With the OpenGapps test builds for Android 11, or the NikGapps, the installer always complained about not enough space on the system partition, even though it was already the smallest package (pico/core).
Only the FlameGapps basic package installed without errors on my device, but since it doesn't boot, I can't tell you if it actually works.
Here's the log from the OpenGapps pico package:

Due to dynamic partition, the system gets resized after you flash system and reboot, leaving no space for gapps, so flash gapps before first boot, or you could use Magisk module gapps, here's the link:
https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1JBeuXQsHXy-T5hFcxmRQFBwh5yRRnKf1&export=download
Also note that first boot is a bootloop, you need to force reboot after waiting a minute or so
Please let me know if you still have issues, I'll fix them in next build.

Hi, i just tried again, installed rom, installed magisk and booted sucessfully without bootloops.
FLAME,OPEN and NIK GAPPS wont work at all!
after the system booted, i updated magisk and installed magisk module gapps. after reboot, i tried to open the google store but got stuck on logo from the app and thats it. so ill be waiting for next build to see if we got some bug fixes. thanks for the hard work !

That is what I did. I installed ArrowOS with OpenGapps as an additional ZIP. ArrowOS installs fine, then the installer for OpenGapps says there isn't enough room on the system partition and exits with error code 70.
Only the FlameGapps install without error, but then the system won't start (endless ArrowOS logo).

That one sort of works, but there seem to be a few stability issues. I often get the message that the Google Play services had repeatedly crashed. Play Store works fine for me, although I had to restart the app once.
All in all, it seems usable, but I'm not sure it's reliable.

So far, I encountered only minor issues. Like some developer settings that are present in other ROMs but seem to be missing here:
I can't find an option to enable adb root access. Running 'adb root' anyway prints the error: "adbd cannot run as root in production builds".
There's also no option to enable the extended restart (where you can select if you want to boot into recovery, bootloader, or normal system). I also can't take a screenshot from the restart menu. Stuff like that isn't critical, but helpful for people like me who can't remember all the different key combos.
One weird problem I encountered is with Here WeGo (a navigation app from the Play Store that I like because you can use it offline). At first, it works fine. But when you then tell it to use the SD card for those offline maps (and not the precious internal memory), the apps freezes every time it tries to start. You have to uninstall and reinstall it to make it lose its settings and work again. I guess I can use it with the internal storage for now, but it does cost me ~1.5 GB that I could find other uses for. Again, I'm not sure if this is your build's fault, but it worked on every other ROM and phone I've tried so far. In case it's important: I get no permission request for the SD card when I switch the storage in the app.
And while I'm at it: Any idea why the internal storage is only 8 GB total? I bought the device with 64 GB. I understand that there's bound to be some overhead for A/B stuff, recovery, and whatnot, but I've lost almost an order of magnitude here. It seems odd. EDIT: Ok, I have reinstall ArrowOS, but this time, I formatted the partitions first in TWRP. Now I have the full storage available. Man, there are so many little thing to keep track of.
Obviously, I haven't had the time yet to put the ROM through all its paces, but so far, I'm pretty impressed with it. I have not run into any game-breakers so far. You did a good job.

The 8gb storage issue is peculiar, No one complained about any issue like this in the telegram group.
For the WeGo navigation app, can you please record logs while it starts and freezes? Would make it easier to briefly look over the issue.
I'll look over everything you reported, and try to fix them.
Logs would be highly appreciated.

Looks like your reply overlapped with my edit. I think I fixed it by reinstalling ArrowOS. But this time, I used the "Format Data" option in TWRP's wipe menu beforehand. That gave me the full storage.

Attached is the 'adb logcat' output from changing the storage to the third restart attempt (this time, it didn't freeze but crashed). I hope it's what you wanted. I'm new at this. If you need something else, let me know.

I just noticed that encrypting the phone does not work. If you select it, the device enters into a reboot loop (blank screen -> Redmi logo -> blank screen -> Redmi logo -> ...).
I don't think I can give you a log, because at that stage, adbd isn't running yet. If there's a way to get any helpful info on that, let me know.

On miatoll (Redmi Note 9 Pro, exactly) the mic does not turn on during phone calls.
Before clean-flashing this rom I installed the most recent firmware
( fw_joyeuse_miui_JOYEUSEEEAGlobal_V12.0.2.0.QJZEUXM_53af718a4c_10.0.zip )
Another ROM (Fluid 1.2) does not have the problem, nor the stock ROM, so I know the hardware is good . . .
Any advice would be appreciated!

This rom build is NOT for Miatoll, Redmi Note 9 with HelioG85 does not come under Miatoll category.
