HOW-TO report a bug

In this blog post, we will talk about on how to report bugs in our fork of AOSP platform and infrastructure for it which includes website, downloads, server, staticstics webpage etc.

WHAT NOT to report!

• Bugs which are present in unofficial builds or anything that is nit downloaded from our official download server.
• Asking about device support, unlocking bootloader, getting TWRP installed and similar queries are not encouraged.
• Bugs on a device which has root priveleges from SuperSU, Magisk, Magisk modules or any other rooting methods that exists etc.
• Issues which suggest feature requests.
• Issues which suggest supporting a new device which we do not own.
• Bugs which arise after replacing default apps.
• Bugs in devices which occur in third party apps.
• Bugs in devices we do not support anymore.
• Bugs in ArrowOS experimental builds.

WHERE to report

Check if someone has already reported that bug before you create a new issue, incase you find there is already a bug report for it you can comment there with “+1” OR “I am also facing this” etc BE CREATIVE.

Issues need to be reported in our gitlab issues ORG:

Android Issues OR Infrastructure Issues

Please, report bugs in the following format:

Arrow Android:

Example:-

• “I am facing a bug in arrow-11.0 community VANILLA edition on my Elgoog Pixel XL. Camera is not working since last update. I uploaded the logcat here www.example.com/camera-logs.txt”
• “WiFi is not working on my OnePlus One, I use OFFICIAL arrow-11.0 GAPPS build. I have captured a logcat while trying to open WiFi and have uploaded the logs to www.example.com/opo-cyberwifi-10-12-2077.log”
