We are very excited to announce the release of Paranoid Android Quartz, based on Android 10.

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. 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 enhance the overall user experience. You can find all of the Paranoid Android wallpapers and many more in the Abstruct app, included in our builds.

Our builds are based on the Code Aurora Forum Android base, which is optimized for Qualcomm platforms and has a higher degree of performance, battery life, and functionality compared to the Android Open Source Project platform. The Paranoid Android team and contributors are focusing on squashing existing bugs, and implementing and improving features, performance, and stability. We are dedicated to providing a user experience with the stability that you can expect from stock ROMs with best-in-class performance and features to help you get the most out of your device.

Notice

As we are growing on our list of supported devices in each release, we require of a stronger build environment so we can speed up the compilation process for releases. Based on the actual Quartz 4 list, we support over 30 devices, which takes between 2 and 3 days for all the builds to be completed without counting possible compilation issues or rebuild needs, based on our current specs.

We kindly ask all of you that are in position to donate anything, to help and support us so we can provide better and faster build releases, as well as increase the download speed of our servers, all looking for your enjoyment.

How exactly are one to get PA to boot?
Whats the trick?
I've tried everything over and over, and it always boots to recovery.

Have tested with OrangeFox TWRP and official 3.4.0.0.
Still won't boot.

Pixel experience boots perfectly.

Edit: Didn't check FBE on 3.4.0.0 and Orange.
Testing older TWRP.
No luck on TWRP 3.3 with FBE either.

After some time playing with this rom while swiping to open notification bar, a pop up comes up saying if I want to enable "swiping right from top will fully expand the notification panel".
Firstly, if no option is chosen, and the notification bar is swiped away and back again multiple times, the popup will too appear multiple times, so you then have to dismiss multiple popups.
Next, now that I have enabled this option, I dont have any idea how to disable it. I tried searching in settings with no luck. So, how to disable this swipe from right corner expands notification panel fully feature?
Edit: do not disturb should disable all vibrations (including keyboard and fingerprint vibrations) - currently, it doesn't disable any vibration
Also, there's no option as far as I know to set the overall vibration strength (like when using navigation gestures...)
