We’re really excited to announce that we are releasing our Nougat flavour of Paranoid Android. We have a lot in store - with a mix of both features & improvements.

First & foremost, we have moved our code base to be fully CAF based. This brings many improvements to your device. The key improvement here is that Qualcomm hardware is better tuned on the CAF base and with our additional optimizations we can provide a smooth and fluid user experience that will let you enjoy using your device without any lags.

On first launch you’ll notice a clean setup with a beautiful wallpaper from Hampus Olsson who’s teamed up with us again and created several beautiful pieces of artwork. For those of you who don’t know, Hampus is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work stands itself and we’re glad to have him onboard. We have also added several new features and made improvements to the UI of the system that we believe would enhance the overall experience.

Pie
We’ve been working hard on redesigning this key feature of our portfolio and we’re really happy with how it has turned out. The whole design has been reworked and it fits in well with the overall feel of Google’s Material Design. This gives you the opportunity to use more gesture based control for navigating, rather than using the standard Navigation Bar at the bottom of your screen. Expect improvements and additions in the future.

Color Engine
We’re proud to announce our newest feature - Color Engine. Color Engine allows you to seamlessly change the colors of your device to be in Light, Dark (Pixel) and Black modes with a variety of accent colors to choose from. This makes changing the theme of your device really quick without having to install any extra packages on your device.

Major features:
- Reworked Pie
- Color engine
- Immersive mode
- Buttons customization (including navigation bar)
- On the spot controls (OTS)

Minor features:
- SafetyNet Compatibility
- Battery/Notification LED control
- Recent tasks locking
- Battery icon customization
- Google now page in default launcher
- Substratum (OMS) support (Color engine will be deactivated if you use Substratum)
- Quick pulldown
- Various performance and battery improvements
- Display burn-in protection (for OLED screens)
- Double-tap to sleep
- 3 finger screen shot
- More to explore :)

Device specific features for the OnePlus X:
- LCD KCAL to improve color accuracy & sound control
- OnePlus X custom camera HAL: Resulting in better picture quality than OEM.
- Offscreen gestures
- Alert slider customization
- aptX and aptXHD support

Device specific performance and battery optimizations:
- Replaced MPDesicion with AutoSMP (improves battery life, and performance)
- Custom thermal implementation that keeps the device cool
- Full audio and video offloading functionality
- Optimized task scheduling
- Much more

Note: Custom kernels are explicitly unsupported and will cause issues
unless they state that they are AOSPA compatible or AOSPA based!

Installation instructions

We highly recommend you follow these instructions very carefully. Users usually tend to skip a few steps and eventually fall in trouble. Are you with me? Good. Let's get this train going. Just a few things to keep in mind first - If you're coming from another ROM/stock, your system data (not internal storage) will have to be wiped. This includes apps, accounts, messages, call logs etc. There's been some users complaining about different GApps variants messing up installs and causing a ton of issues. Upon investigating it seems OpenGapps Mini/Nano work best. Understand that Paranoid Android is a custom ROM and it might lead to addiction as it's relatively good. We shouldn't be accused of anything just in case your cat starts drinking wine. Things get a little woozy in the Paranoid World.

Disclaimer: Some brain power might be involved if things go wrong. Not a lot though. Only as little as to solve 1+1.

Okay let's get to the main bit. We recommend a full wipe.

Flashing order:

1. Back up to PC everything you would need
2. Reboot into TWRP Recovery
3. Format all partitions
4. Flash AOSPA zip
5. Flash GApps zip
6. Reboot System

FAQ

Q: Why don't you support custom kernels?
A:
Custom kernels tend to ship with changes to the init that harm UX. We focus on delivering the best experience possible so the out of box experience should not be modified. Not only that, but I ship custom hotplugging and a thermal implementation that other kernels do not support.

Q:
VoLTE?
A:No. Don't ask.

Q:Will you support Xposed or any deviation of it?
A:Nope. It is a highly insecure platform that can cause several issues.

According to my testers, yes. I am not really good at telling camera quality with my eyes :)
