4.5 Beta 1
A tasty #BetaRelease is here!
For the last few weeks we have been releasing
alpha builds and have reached a point of stability
for the recents build series. We are currently
working on finalizing the new design of recents
and fixing minor issues, earning recents a beta
tag. You should not be scared about the “beta” in
the build name, but instead #StayParanoid and
take the release out for a test drive as it is still a
fairly polished and stable one. If you stumble
upon any bugs or little details that don’t look
right in your opinion, you can use our issue
tracker to report them.

build

> FINAL / ANDROID 4.4.4
This week at PA headquarters we worked very hard to
bring you the most stable experience ever since 4+.
Too many hot fixes have been merged today, along
with some new goodies.
What does 4.4 Final mean?
Current featured branch reached final stable state.
Doesn’t mean at all that development has stopped
You can just flash this, and feel safe.
> KITKAT UPSTREAM
Android 4.4.4 upstream tag has been merged into our
source.
> VOLUME PANEL
The Volume Panel has been re-designed as you can
see in the image below to be inline with hover, be less
intrusive and more beautiful.
> HOVER
Hover UI/UX has been reworked a bit for tablet users:
Hover will not take the whole screen width, but it will
respect notification size. Also status bar isn’t hidden
when hover shows and you can pull it down when you
want, as you touch status bar Hover will be dismissed
to not overload on top of status bar expanded state.
Another awesome thing is that un-dismissible
notifications cases like screenshots etc have been
solved (yea is true). Last but not least the marriage
with ticker view has been reworked, when hover is
enabled and you receive notifications from foreground
app they will not be shown in Hover but in ticker.
> PIE
Fixed a couple of issues regarding repositioning. Also,
Pie now follows same behavior of navigation bar on
phone when in landscape, sticks at right. Last but not
least Pie is now themeable by external xml resources,
by Theme Engine.
> PEEK
As for Peek App our Native Peek got some love on
sensors side. They should work better now. You can
find latest Peek App with advanced features on Play
Store, check link below.
> THEME ENGINE
Merged upstream changes and added style support to
Dialer app, IME switcher alert dialog and many more.
Full battery meter theming from CM
Other upstream theme engine fixes
Fixed light theme support (WiFi Settings FC)
> RECENTS
Hopefully fixed rare blank screen and always show
translucent decors.
> DOCUMENTS UI
Updated system API to let it delete folders.
Fix Documents UI crashing
> PARANOID OTA
Fixed some FCs.
> TRANSLATIONS
Imported new crowdin translations.
New translations thanks to crowdin contributors.
> GENERAL
Fixed various bugs as rare softboots and cleanups.
