Paranoid Android 7.3.1 for the X722 ELITE ZL0

[elkosith]

While I'm writing this I am cursing real hard. My phone is slow as hell! Opening an app takes 6 to 10 seconds, calling someone u must be patience it takes 8 to 10 seconds when enabled. Writing this is crazy, everything works so slow and I don't know what this is causing it. Somebody experience same issue? Apart from slow everything is working. Bluetooth WiFi etc

Yes for u it works. Not for me. Any sugestions why this is so slow? Just to write this takes 40 seconds.... Also wanna say wanna for doing this (customize this ROM) eui was crwxy. Al website were redirect to a Chinese website and Google play store didn't let me download by network, only wifi

Does your phone perform normally on stock ROM? If it does then there is something wrong when flashing this ROM since you're the only one who is having this problem. Try to do a clean install.

I found this problem when I play game(Arena of valor)

how to fix it?

sorry for my english is bad.

Just follow what it says, uninstall then re-install

Everything seem to be all right on my X722, except camera not connect. Tried wipe cache/Dalvik or reflash it fresh few times still camera not working.
On AICP Nougat and stock camera work fine. Anyone camera not connect like me? weird

I think there is a solution already for camera problem in this thread, just go through page by page

There is no old version for PA for x722, just one build that's it I think

I already tried, full wipe, format storage, reinstall rom, reinstall game, stills the same.

Looked up your issue and apparently this is a common issue with the game, dunno why. You'll have to install the APK from APKMirror or some other place.

If it's only happening with this game, then the issue is with the Play Store's database. If it happens with other apps, you have a download issue on your hands. You should have received an error code while trying to download it--something like 911 or 0. Google that and find out what it means.

I seriously have zero issues with this rom, great battery life and preformance and everything just works, even gcam works perfect.

Have banggood s20 device, flashed twrp full advance wipe just not recovery updated to genesys rom s26 then again a full wipe and then too paranoid rom.

Modified rom a bit too keep button lights on when screen is on, and increased vibrate intensity, use nova launcher and sd maid too keep rom nice and fluid..

Maybe the steps i did can help others out with issues.

Got it working, after copy file just need to change the permission of the "libactuator_ak7371.so" to 644 (look at other file in Root/vendor/lib), reboot the phone once the camera should work.

no error code from playstore. it's only happening with this game and this rom. sometime I can play this game, but sometime this game force stop. no this issue on LAOS, Aicp, Aex and Eui.

PA is my favorite rom. it's only rom I can play this game very smooth and high fps. but I can not use this rom because this issue.

sorry again for my english

 

[sk8223]

Then just download and install the APK. Maybe the devs of that game just don't support this ROM. It's happened to me with FGO. If Magisk doesn't get it to work, then I don't think anything will. Some game devs are super anal about custom ROMs and they always patch ways to play their games even if you have Magisk and every other SU hiding app you can think of.

Sometimes they even checked for a unlocked bootloader. But I don't recommend locking the bootloader.

So you have no issues with weaker "cell signal" or "wifi signal" as described by other users?

What did you need to change to keep the buttons lit? And how did you make the vibration stronger? Thanks!

Try the face unlock, is it working on your phone? Becasue it's not working on mine

Dunno and i dont use it.. So i dont care about that..

No i have good signal on wifi and 3g ( dont have LTE) button lit you can use "capacitive buttons" app on playstore it works with our x722 device.. For vibration i modified the boot.img.. But you can use the script ive add with init.d app out of playstore too get it applied on boot..(rom doesnt have init.d suppprt)

 

[elkosith]

Dunno and i dont use it.. So i dont care about that..

I'm just asking you to try face unlock to know whether the problem is general for this ROM or just specific to my phone. Because if it's a bug in this ROM then I think people might want to know about it. And you said you have no problem what so ever, which can become a misleading statement.

Maybe asking you to setup face unlock is too much of a problem. Sorry to bother you...

 

[yandhe.rio]

Any solution for weaker signal reception on lte..

hello, how to root paranoid rom ?

 

[Moon75]

hello, how to root paranoid rom ?

I rooted mine by flashed Supersu 2.82 in TWRP, one way of doing it I think.

Backup your boot partition before do it just in case things go wrong, we never know.

 

[thrashbat]

any recommendations on a Google HDR+ apk version to go with this rom?

 

[rudolph323]

Installation procedure

1. Unlock bootloader. Best to be on 26S firmware, 20S will also work.
2. Install TWRP recovery (I used one specificly for the X722 by @CrisBalGreece). If you use a X720 TWRP image then you'll have to extract boot.img from the zip and flash it after flashing the ROM in fastboot. Please don't be stupid and report bugs while you aren't even flashing the damn boot img...
3. Wipe cache, dalvik and system (f reset)
4. Flash my ZIP (link below from google Drive)
5. Flash OpenGapps package of your choice for ARM64 Android 7.1
6. Wipe cache
7. Reboot and enjoy

****...

I didn't notice that rom .zip should be uploaded before cleaning system partition.


@CrisBalGreece TWRP's ADB sideload doesn't work... "Starting ADB sideload feature..." Now I don't know what to do to send the ROM .zip.

C:\Windows\System32>adb sideload C:\Users\computer\Desktop\pa_zl0-7.3.1-RELEASE-20171030-signed.zip
loading: 'C:\Users\computer\Desktop\pa_zl0-7.3.1-RELEASE-20171030-signed.zip'* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

error: device '(null)' not found

C:\Windows\System32>

I entered fastboot mode to try adb push, but also doesn't work.

C:\Windows\System32>adb push "C:\Users\computer\Desktop\pa_zl0-7.3.1-RELEASE-20171030-signed.zip" /sdcard/
error: device '(null)' not found

The only thing that works is fastboot. Is it possible to send files through fastboot mode?

C:\Windows\System32>fastboot devices
709eed3 fastboot

EDIT: It somehow showed up as MTP device in file explorer, so now I can transfer ROM, etc (Probably because I mounted volume through TWRP).


EDIT2: Is there ever gonna be another update? This seems to be the only ROM that works properly, except some problems people have been mentioning about camera, etc.


EDIT3: I had AICP ROM, but I wiped system and caches, installed paranoid android + gapps for 7.1 now I'm just booting to black screen and I can only turn off, it also reboots every few seconds.
EDIT4: Did a complete wipe and reinstalled the same way, now it's working.
