Paranoid Android Pie Beta - Xiaomi Mi A1

[amarbajpai]

We’re really excited to announce the release of Paranoid Android Pie betas.

On the first launch, you’ll notice a clean setup with a beautiful wallpaper from Hampus Olsson, who teamed up with us again to create several beautiful pieces of artwork. For those who are unfamiliar, Hampus is a multi-disciplinary artist whose design stands for itself and we’re glad to have him onboard. We also added further UI touches that we believe enhances the overall user experience.

The beta builds include adjustments and improvements on top of the stock Android CAF base. The Paranoid Android team and contributors are focusing on squashing existing bugs, and implementing and improving features.

This is great! I love Paranoid Android.

 

[Ukolino]

Wonderful job sir Amar and team!

 

[leofwg]

Thank you!!

 

[KaaMyA]

Looks great, thanks @amarbajpai!

I'm curious about wiping Vendor.
Why is this needed in order to flash PA correctly?

Other ROMs don't require this specific step, with the exception of AIO ROMs and GSIs.

Is there something coming from PA related to this?

It's just a generalised step if you are coming from a GSI. In practice it doesn't matter if you have nothing already in the vendor partition.
Steps are same as other custom roms. Though clean flash is required.

[Alexandroid99]

So are there any famous PA features included or is that to be expected in the next build?

 

[indtiger93]

At least give a fair warning that no camera, messaging apps included, so that people wont flash gapps nano

 

[hussaination01]

Is this official rom ?

 

[ironman38102]

Is this official rom ?

Yeah it is. We were mentioned on XDA news on getting PA ROM so I can safely assume it is.

 

[coremania]

Simply the best. Nice beta. Only a few features but it's running stable so far :good:

Green tint on whatsapp pictures is present even on stock Oreo and Pie because of the camera2api enabled.
