I was more meaning the version numbers. I know things are broken for custom ROMs. :)
ah ok...
I believe that 3.2.6 (on 17.09.2016) was released after 3.5.2 (on 14.09.2016) so technically 3.2.6 is newer, but seemingly contains less changes. Or they actually rolled back on the bootloader compatibility issue very quickly....

Even using dual boot with RR as secondary and 3.2.6 primary breaks the fingerprints on RR
Of cause it doesn't, rr is missing the updated vendor blobs to properly make use of the new FP scanner firmware...

could be /system/lib64/hw/fingerprint.msm8996.so

you could try taking the file from 3.2.6 and overwriting the one in rr, but its just a guess, it may also break everything so have a backup on hand ;)

Paranoid Android is not compatible with the 3.5.2 bootloader.
You have to flash 3.2.4 firmware package before flashing paranoid android (or any other custom rom for that matter) when coming from stock 3.5.2 rom

Just a quick question here.

I was on 3.2.6 - I unlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP and rooted. Installed Nuclear and of course the home button no longer works.

So - do I need to flash the 3.2.4 firmware, linked in the first post here? If so, do I wipe in TWRP, flash that firmware and then flash Nuclear?

Thanks

I need some help.

Which firmware am I using?

I´m on the latest CM13 official Nightly 20160920.

Yesterday I wanted to try out some different ROMs.

In Resurrection I had no fingerprint sensor.
In FreedomOS I suddenly had no WiFi. But this was my dayly driver before. Not the community build. My version was 1.4.4.
Now I´m on CM13 and everything is working.

But I wanted to change to RR because I loved this ROM on my OnePlus One.

I´m confused now because of the different firmwares.

I'm on 3.5.2 with modified TWRP. so basically if I wanted to switch to other ROMS like FreedomOS I need to:
-Flash first 3.2.4 firmware
-Flash ROM
-Flash Gapps if needed
-Flash SuperSU if needed
-Flash official TWRP?

Am I missing something?

Thanks for the help
