Download Arrow OS Custom ROM for Realme 5

Realme 5 development has started, and we have got the very first custom ROM for it. Now you can download custom ROM for Realme 5 and install it using TWRP custom recovery.

Realme is fulfilling its part by pushing monthly security updates to its devices. But, few users are not happy with the user interface and performance of the smartphone.

Custom ROM for Realme 5

Being such a robust device, Realme is blocking it somehow from utilizing the maximum power of the Snapdragon 665 Soc. However, you will be able to unlock this power by installing a custom ROM based on AOSP, which will be lighter in weight and will consume less memory.

Why Install a Custom ROM on Realme 5

Installing custom ROM unveils the actual color of the system that it has. You will have full control over the device from customizing to distributing power to the cores of the system. A custom ROM helps you personalize the user interface, lock-screen, status bar items, etc.

Once you install a custom ROM you can also root the device using Magisk which will then allow you to install different types of modules like Youtube Vanced, Deep Sleep, blocking advertisements while browsing or utilizing any application, etc.

Please take a backup of your data, files, etc. to an external source. You will need an unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed to flash any custom ROM.

ArrowOS

ArrowOS is based on the Android Open Source Project, which is very simple and has a neat and clean user interface. Developers of this ROM aim at keeping things organized and have added stuff that is mostly used by users. They tend to deliver a bug-free ROM that could provide better battery life and smooth performance.

The ROM has been ported by Ganesh Varma, and it is based on Android Pie 9 which is at its initial release so there might be minor bugs here and there.
