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."​

Coming from Arrow 12.0 or different ROMs

1-Wipe vendor , system , data , cache

2- Flash Rom , gapps (for Vanilla version) and magisk (if needed)

That because android 12 forces MAC randomization , I will try disabling it in the next build

the theming doesn't work for me, it doesn't give me the option to change any colors
This how monet currently works , the colors will be taken from the wallpaper. Overriding them might come in future.

Thanks for the great Rom. Haven't found any issues yet, despite dirty flashing over the experiential build using the version with built in gapps.

Keep up the great work!

Has anyone managed to pass safetynet? I tried Magisk Canary, Universal safetynet fix and Props config, but I still can't pass the CTS Profile check.

Coming from noble rom. By any chance does anyone have a copy of the stock vendor img for me to flash via twrp. I would flash stock rom with odin but can't due to laptop not working.

Why most of Android 12 features not available on this custom ROM ? Like Game Dashboard.
Aosp 12 which released by google is very different than pixel android 12. Many features are missing and ROM devs had to fix google messed up sources (for example monet was not in the sources). You can get these features if you flashed vanilla + full gapps (nikkgapps for example) also magisk modules like pixilfy and similar stuff.

I'm going into this ROM from CRdroid official on Android 10, anything I need to watch out for? Anything specific I should flash first? Any requirement to change file system?
Or is this a very straightforward and reliable daily drive I can flash without any problems.

On Arrow OS 12 I didn't need to do anything beyond enabling Magisk hide. Enable Magisk hide and it should pass safety net. Without Magisk hide it will fail. I'm not using Universal Safety net Fix or Props Config.

    Regarding updates I think many notice that OTA was stopped and the download links showing as discontinued. That because android 12.0 support has been ended in favor of 12.1 which will be available soon.
    The problem with 12.1 is google released a broken sources AGAIN and the current state of 12.1 is not good for public release. I would estimate another month for a stable release.
