Paranoid Android Pie Beta - Xperia X Compact

[tomgus1]

We’re really excited to announce the release of Paranoid Android Pie betas.

On 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 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.

Great job, so is there any initial bug list? To know whats working and what's not before flashing the rom?

Btw can the future update be dirty flashed?

So far it's very stable and I've not really seen any bugs in the past 3 months or so. If you find any that would (not) be awesome!

In the future dirty flashing will be acceptable for updates.

Thanks for bringing pa to the kugo? What is the kernel version? Does it also have qc3 charging problem?

Thanks for the answer, how about lagging?(specially in games)
@harryharryharry's omnirom is pretty good so far except some micro lags specially in games are visible, in stock oreo (with root and everything) there was absolutely no lag whatsoever! Considering all the bloatwere in stock in comparison with aosp/omni

Do you mean one has to build the Sony open rom themselves and flash that first or just the binaries and kernel?

You only need to flash the binaries via fastboot.

Initial boot will take a while to boot. It should however not take long on any subsequent boots, probably 15-20 seconds at most.

Still has a problem

so what can I do ? :crying:

Edit: I put rom in ext SD and format data ---> install from ext SD and its boot time around 3 min
bug : crash camera app, swipe up home button
contact don't show after sync

 

[Pergin]

Thank you very much! I have a question: does bluetooth work properly or the device disconnects randomly?

 

[john97]

mSD card compatibility?

Does this ROM provide for the use of SDXC cards >32GB or only SDHC cards <=32GB?

SDXC should be compatible.

If you can send me a logcat I can have a look at both these issues.
