Paranoid Android Discussion Thread

One of the most popular custom ROM projects of the last few years, Paranoid Android lost many of its core developers to OnePlus in February 2015. OnePlus recruited them to develop its in-house, following its breakup with Cyanogen. Predictably, PA releases slowed to a crawl, with the last major release, based on Android 5.1, [coming out in July. In October, project lead Matt Flaming announced what pretty much everyone had been suspecting for a while – the Paranoid Android project was on hold.
Now the Paranoid Android project is back into the spotlight, with over a dozen new team members and a new feature-packed release that’s been nine months in the making.
Features coming in this release, some of them familiar and some new, include an improved floating window mode, immersive mode, on-the-spot controls for the behavior of the notification dropdown, a polished quick settings re-order mechanism, battery style, an advanced power dialog, support for Paranoid OTA updates, a theme engine, and support for layers. For certain devices, including OnePlus and Oppo phones, the release offers advanced features like an enhanced kernel, advanced gesture control, and support for the alert slider and fingerprints scanner.:laugh:

Some revival. I flashed it and I'm stuck at the OnePlus logo. Apparently someone with a OP2 had the same problem and he fixed it by flashing the system partition before flashing the ROM. I did the same and my phone still won't boot up. Oh well.
I used both TWRP 3 and 2.8.7.0 and am also coming from an unaltered COS 13.

Same issue as @aarthyn. Wiped data, flashed it stuck at OnePlus logo. Used TWRP 2.8.6.1 and came from Sultan's Unofficial CM13 (6.0.1) May 26 build. Restored my backup and now it comes up with a SIM Card not found error.
Not happy.

Oh great, I was hoping that wouldn't happen. Looks like I'll have to do the full fastboot works to make sure everything's the way it should be.
At least I know it's not just me.

the normal way which we always flash was on cos 13 use twrp 3.0.0.1 and rom is ssly having dam slow charging thats the issue ! nothing else !

How to flash PA rom....
1. Boot into recovery
2. Flash latest CM nightlies (optional)
3. Factory reset
4. Flash PA rom and Bank's Gapps
5. Reboot into system
6. Setup your devices
7. Reboot into recovery
8. Flash SuperSu
9. Wipe Cache and Dalvik
10. Reboot into system
11. Done
Only PA rom and Bank's Gapps can be flash together....if you're planning to flash SuperSu or Custom Kernel you need to reboot into system first then boot back to recovery to flash them (wipe cache and dalvik after flashing them)....

People who are coming from CyanogenOS 13, check your partitions. They might be formatted to f2fs, which may be why your phones don't go past the bootanimation. Mine were formatted to ext4, and I had absolutely no problems doing a clean flash from SultanXDA's latest CM13 build.

You need to change your filesystems to ext4 before flashing the rom.Otherwise it won't boot.But I cannot see any customization in the rom!

I have tried many ROMs for my A2017U, but non of them works well

First, I unlocked bootloader and installed twrp with axon7toolkit.
Then I have tried following roms.
1. AospExtended-v5.4-axon7-20180421-0700:
no sound when calling, /data does not shown, crashes when voice call from wechat.
2. BootleggersROM-Oreo4axon7.2.1-Stable-Unshishufied-20180331:
no sound when calling, have not test other
3. dotOS-O-v2.1-axon7-UNOFFICIAL-20180404
(downloaded but not tested)
4. A2017(U)(N-B35)_AROMA_SL!M1_DF!NR_by_raystef66
always crashes before I can finish initial setup
5.lineage-14.1-20180425-nightly-axon7-signed
password needed to start android, but I do not know what is the pass word
6. A2017Uv1.1.0B35_StockSystem_by_DrakenFX
this is the only one which calling works, wechat voice call works.
Rooted with Magisk16.0.
Problems with original ROM still exist:
1. battery drain pretty fast,
2. show 31000 and roaming for verizon.
New problem after unlock bootloader,
bootloader unlocked warning when startup
new problem after root:
crashes when start es file explorer:
testing others

The last resurrection remix(official nougat) is solid and so is AOKP. I'm just wondering what kernel would be best for a nougat Lineage-based rom on B35

thanks for reply.
I will temporally stay with stock rom B35. The unlocked bootloader warning is removed now.
The only two issues with stock rom are battery drain, verizon signal label.
I may give resurrection remix a try later.

Are you installing the bootstack too? I have the same model and don't have any of those issues. I run encryption so I'm stuck on the 2/24 build of AOSP-eXtended, but the only bug I have is a slow initial GPS lock. Otherwise it runs solid.
Sounds like you didn't follow all the directions.

I am sure I followed instructions strictly.
I have also tried to flash each ROM start from specified Bootloader, Modem, Bootstack, then ROM in the post.

i'm pretty sure you're doing things wrong:
-No sound on calls is fixed by toggling speakerphone on and off
-Password on boot is because your internal storage is encrypted, because you installed a ROM and forgot to flash Magisk or SuperSU before booting for the first time.
-Everything crashing on slim roms can be because you failed to wipe. Anyways simply wipe evetrything and try flashing it again, it'll probably be fixed.
-5 second screen is not a problem, it's a feature. There are ways to fix that anyways: Remove unlocked bootloader inscription by Raystef66 should work, and it is safe. And also there's NFound's zip on the Themes and Apps section, but it'a very risky (you might end up having to unbrick your phone).

I'm running LineageOS 15.1 Oreo based room currently and all seems well except there seems to be no working camera. Ive tried many and no seem to work or install correctly no matter how I flash. I tried to go back to stock 35 but got stuck at boot screen for an extremely long time so I was force to pick another Oreo room to go back to in order for me to get my phone to work. Do you guys know of a working camera I can install that you have personally tried with Oreo and links would be helpful. I tried a lot on xda so far to no avail. Thanks in advance. Or link me to what I need to get back to stock 35. Also, LineageOS 15.1 has ridiculous battery life. In a good way.

Footej? Gcam? ZTE stock cam? Have you also tried AEX? I'm curious as to how it performs.

I tried GCam but the rear camera didn't work. It's weird but that was the consensus that a lot of people was having. I heard that the ZTE Stock 13 v2 camera works but I haven't been able to find a link to anyone that actually has it. Everyone that I've come across has had a link, but when you get there it's for b04, 05, o7 Oreo or something else. I've tried those also and it hasn't work on LineageOS. I might go back to Nougat 7.1.1 if I can find the proper way to do so.

OK, I have resolved the problem with Password on boot.
I have tried many times, every time after flashed twrp, then I boot into twrp recovery, then do following steps:
1. advance wipe cache/dalvik cache/data/system,
2. install bootloader, modem, warning_patch, rom,
3. advance wipe cache/dalvik cache/data
4. install Magisk
5. advance wipe cache/dalvik cache/data
6. install Gapps
7. advance wipe cache/dalvik cache/data
then reboot to system, and the password is always asked on boot.
I have found out that instead of "advance wipe cache/dalvik cache/data", do a "factory reset" in twrp recovery, then the problem solved.
So the step should be
1. advance wipe cache/dalvik cache/data/system,
2. install bootloader, modem, warning_patch, rom, Gapps
3. install Magisk ( wipe cache/dalvik cache/data if fail to install, then install again)
4. factory reset.
After factory reset, boot into system and works.
There is still no sound on call problem, but fixed by toggling speakerphone on and off as you suggested.
Thanks.

That's still wrong. It works but it's unnecessary. You have to use the FORMAT DATA button instead of just advanced wipe data

try it and if didnt boot here are my steps if i remember correctly :
-flash latest global developer fastboot rom with mi flash (flash all , be careful with locking bootloader accidentally )
-wait until first boot before phone setup and don't go through it
-reboot to fastboot mode and flash nijel twrp
-reboot directly to recovery
-wipe->factory reset
-flash 8.11.26 pie
-reboot system

Exatly as for me. Flashed with nigel TWRP, with format data before. Few issues but CN firmware... Google must be installed.

ok will do that now and report
i flashed latest global then tried to flash with that recovery but nothing.
i am now going to flash china dev latest and try again
---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------
so to be clear
i am gonna flash dev global 8.11.23 via fastboot
then wait for it to get to 1st set up screen but not go through the setup process
will then flash that twrp you mentioned via fastboot
and flash the rom after factory reset

i did exactly what you said again just to be sure
and it booted up with no problem
- mi flash->global 8.11.23 -> clean all
- first boot until welcome screen
- power off-> volume down+power -> fastboot and run "fastboot flash recovery nijeltwrp.img"
- volume up+power to boot to recovery
(so far if decryption goes well twrp shuold not request decryption password and you could mount data and see internal storage contents in /sdcard with no problem in twrp file manager)
- wipe->factory reset
- install pie zip rom 8.11.26
- wipe dalvik+cache
- reboot system
it took about 4 or 5 minutes for me to boot

If I've gone straight from the latest stock China ROM to xiaomi.eu 10.0.0.6.0 and have since flashed the latest nijel TWRP - which is all working fine.
Can I simply flash to this pie release or do I need to have previously flashed one of the developer ROMs?

Guys, quick conformation, please as I hear conflicting reports about MIUI Pie and my TWRP...
Please, from experience, decryption works, right? How about formatting data with TWRP and boot to Pie? Is MIUI Pie able to encrypt fresh data partition? And if yes is TWRP able to decrypt it again?
Thank you, feedback is really appreciated so I know what needs to be done for full Pie compatibility!!!

first thanks again for your great work on this recovery
decryption was good with oreo 8.11.15 china rom but right after pie rom boots and rebooting to recovery, decryption fails
from there rebooting to recovery again doesn't change anything ... recovery asks for decryption password every time.
and cuz data partition is not mounted so recovery log will not be saved to internal memory to attach it here
after formatting data miui boots successfully and encrypts data again.setting up the phone and rebooting to recovery ... but same thing happens and decryption fails.

Flashed EU 10.3.15 stable 2 days ago and found battery issues, want go back to stock

hello, fellow Mi 9T users, I was really excited to unlock the bootloader and flash the EU rom that judging from various forum, reddit etc seemed to be a major improvement over the global stock rom.
Flashed the latest 10.3.15 and found 2 critical issues :
1) battery randomly and suddenly drains 4 5 % after locking the phone for no apparent reason (at home, stable cell line and on wifi) and the phone once shut off by itself in my hands.
2) its impossible to set location to high precision or any other option, it only allows me to set GPS ONLY.
Battery also seem to not last as long as global rom, used to have 11 - 12 hours sot on stock, now 7 8 on eu rom.
given this problems and the not so big improvements over the global rom I would like to go back to stock global and just wait for official updates when they come, debloating useless stuff by myself.
How do i do it? where do I found the global stock rom? how do I flash it?
Thanks in advance for the help.

You can flash the Recovery ROM with TWRP or the Fastboot ROM with Mi Flash.

Hey Schnedi. on the same subject, I ran into an issue when I wanted to roll back to 10.3.7 from 10.3.12. I wiped system data cache and dalvik/art and installed 10.3.7 zip. I did boot into system but camera, wifi, sensors etc weren't working properly or at all. Was I supposed to wipe vendor too? Could that be the cause of this issue?

I've read in other forums (spanish) with some users with that error, I don't think it's related with the Vendor, because MIUI Recovery ROMs include vendor files.
Try to format data too. Or, flash the fastboot ROM.

(I would recommend a clean flash to prevent any mishap. However, this is a tested method on my Redmi 7S, I would not be responsible for your bricked phone, you know!)
First of all, backup all your important data & boot up into Orangefox.
Go to Menu》Settings》Tick "Disable Forced Encryption " (make sure it's ticked up)
Tip: In case you're flashing official MIUI, also tick "Disable dm-verity".
Now go to Wipe section
Select all partions except Internal storage, Micro SD and USB OTG.
Swipe to wipe.
Very Important: Go to Menu》Reboot》Recovery to reboot to recovery.
Now from the main menu, go to files, choose the ROM package and flash.
Now to be safe (however not needed), you would like to reboot to recovery rather than to system to make sure everything go right.
Then from Recovery go to Menu> Reboot>System.
It should boot up in around 5-10 min.
Best of luck.

Ahem! Most definitely do NOT tick either of these, or it will end in tears. With lavender, you must keep DM-Verity and encryption intact.

Will I lose orangefox if i flash official closed beta?

I lost It, the ROM replaced OrangeFox with Redmi Recovery, just reflash the Recovery from fastboot when you've installed the ROM

So is there any way to change custom roms without formatting data Everytime?

Yes - if the ROMs are based on compatible device trees with similar encryption protocols. Some of the new FBE ROMs fall in that category.
