The ROM is great. After flashed the ROM I had wanted to back miui but I can't do that for bootloop problem then I flased my phone form pc but the bootloop problem is not solved. Only this rom is working others fail. What can I do? How to fix this problem?

Um, for reverting back to MIUI, please use the firmware flasher from xiaomi.
For the other roms, use devDoge's TWRP

Pros:
1. Good performance, no lags at all. Google Cam is smooth ajfek.
2. Battery backup is good NGL

Just perfect rom for my 2gb variant rosy.
Superb performance with great bb and most importantly a good ram management.
THANKS Dev for ur effort.
A netspeed indicator and quick tile row column editing and a volte logo can make the rom perfect from every aspect.
Oh and one thing display overlay option not available.
From my side there is no cons.

Works great. This is probably the best one I've tried so far.
My notifications are no longer delayed since I flashed this ROM, even the original Xiaomi OS had the delays.
Have tried a bunch of ROMs and of those, the only one except for this that that could pull that off was 'Reloaded-CAF'. Unfortunately that one was abandoned by the developer after a measly 2 months.

The one thing I can't get to work is encryption.
When trying to encrypt the phone it just goes back to the login screen after a few seconds.

Thanks for a great ROM.

Thank you sir!
As of now, I have removed encryption. Will be supported by Quartz 3.

Actually DPI is causing thr screen recorder to crash. This was to be addressed by Quartz 2, but wasn't. Will do next time for sure!

Did you update from OTA? Sweet.

I just started using this rom yesterday and the performance is really good. I have the 2/16 variant of this phone and I am satisfied.

I just have some suggestion:
1. Is it possible you add more options to the camera app?
2. Add the Earphone effects of MIUI to this ROM.

Also, is it just me or all CAF roms makes it difficult to format the internal storage? This always happens to me when I try switch to AOSP or GSI roms from CAF roms. When I Wipe > Format Data, it can't mount /data for whatever reason.

    We are very excited to announce the release of Paranoid Android Quartz, based on Android 10.

    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. 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 enhance the overall user experience. You can find all of the Paranoid Android wallpapers and many more in the Abstruct app, included in our builds.


    Our builds are based on the Code Aurora Forum Android base, which is optimized for Qualcomm platforms and has a higher degree of performance, battery life, and functionality compared to the Android Open Source Project platform.

    Few more bugs:

    On occasion, upon selecting restart in the power menu, the phone just powers off instead.

    Bluetooth devices are forgotten after restart : they disappear from the list and need to be re-paired every time. In addition, the icons for devices only show up if they feel like it (Bluetooth headphone battery should show when connected)

    Wi-Fi speed has taken a hit. Testing on other phones and devices and comparing with rosy on miui eu, the speed is down dramatically causing buffering and other issues.(Have 100mbps down internet and testing on rosy gives me 5mpbs)

    Interestingly enough, my rosy only charges when connected with a data usb cable. Power only usb cables do not charge the device even if the device shows that it is charging.

    Again, thanks for the great rom. Hope to see OTA updates soon :good:

    I fixed all of it leaving the wifi. Works just fine here tho will see. Would be appreciated if you provide me logs in private message.
    Update will be coming up soon!

    Personally I ain't a big fan of stock kinda roms because I prefer having customisation. That's the whole point of me going through all the pain in the ass unlocking bootloader and flashing roms.

    But This time I thought to give a try to PA Q3.
    And Hey, I'm impressed.
    This rom is soooooooooo smooth despite of having prebuilt GApps.
    This is very surprising for a device which comes with SD450 and 2GB of RAM.
    Infact I've never felt this amount of smoothness on any Q rom(Vanilla or Gapps build) for my device so far.
    Kudos to @vishalcj. Awesome work brother ?

    The rom is well optimized and I've not seen any shutter of lag so far. I've not tried gaming so far. (I ain't a gaming person anyway)
    Battery backup has been good so far. Call Quality is very clear. Signal reception is great. Google ? also working very well (I use 6.2 version for main cam and for front cam B612 - Yes I like filters).

    Though I've face minor issues such as google voice recorder isn't working. Can't update google dialer through playstore (it's not showing in playstore) but it's working fine. And I also feel that Sound from speaker is a bit low plus there is no sound control in stock kernel.
    Hope to get them fixed in next build.

    Once again, Great Rom, Great Experience.
    Thanks @vishalcj for bringing this rom for our device.

    Adios, amigo ?
