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.

Device-specific issues
You tell me ;)

Note: Custom kernels are NOT supported!

FAQ:
Kernel is Enforcing

Darkmode doesn't change change anything
In fact it does, but the default AOSP behaviour doesnt change Settings color.

No Raise to wake
I recommend using 'Tap to Wake'

How about making One stable aosp Rom before publishing different roms with All the same Bugs? I dont think that dt2w is the only Bug in here. Its nice to have a choice but One really stable base would be much better.

How about just appreciating the work and having another option than ranting because none of them are "stable" for you? It would be much better if you collect logs and actually contribute to the development. He's refining the device tree and that takes time. If you would, please, with all due respect, fix all the bugs that are currently present in the ROMs.

The dev will do whatever he wants to, and in no way will releasing more ROMs be harmful to this community.

Don't act so entitled.

Still in beta which means they are still ironing the bugs, if you want a stable ROM stick with the stock. Moreorless all AOSP ROMs atm are in beta/testing stage.

Well, we do have d2tw working, will be in the next build, so I would say 0 bugs. We ain´t fast bring-up ROM and I can assure we don´t usually have the issues some of the other ROMs do, first because of our CAF base, vs AOSP used on others, and second because we really take care of almost everything seriously before doing anything.

I can tell this build is stable, we labelled it beta since we didn´t add the framework goodies, and there could be some minor bug/issue our maintainer might have not noticed based on his daily usage.

I do invite you to give it a test and report it back, I think you will find it more stable than you believe, as well as smoother than you think.

So we just got the winner for the comment of the week! Nothing else can be added to this, nailed it!

Actually this build would be more of an stable build than a beta/testing actually, always the maintainer has followed my changes at OnePlus 7 Pro source code this build should be really stable. The thing about beta is more framework related, there is some stuff we haven´t included on it, and we will release in a non-beta release if we ever get to finish them before we start working on Q.

Hey guys, nice works! It is always good to hear and see various developments are on going, meaning more usefulness. Appreciate for ur works.

I have some question!
I'm on BeastROM which seems very stable now, except for battery consumption.
I guess it is caused by kernel wakelocks.
- smp2p-sleepstate (it holds moderate time)
- NETLINK (too many counts)
I believe those are from cellular, wifi, bluetooth...

Does PA have Boeffla wakelock blocker implemented, or those wakelocks not a kinda issue on PA?

Hbt you reporting the bugs you faced instead of just saying me to make it stable. My usage is different than yours. For me its stable. Tell me which issues did u faced besides these two?:
- NFC (Removed cause of known reasons will add in next build)
- Kernel Permissive == No GPay
- DT2W (Will be fixed in next update)
If you face any other issue besides the ones mentioned above report with logs otherwise stop complaining. I can't smell your issue and simply fix them.

Akash
