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. 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. This time around he have his wallpaper app Abstruct, were you will be able to find all of the Paranoid Android wallpapers alongside a huge amount of amazing wallpapers.

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.

FAQ:
ANX Camera doesn't work!
Thats becuase of the newly added sepolicy. But dont worry, ANX provides a fix for this.

Fingerprint doesnt work with screen off
Its intendet to work like that, but you can enable AOD if you want it that bad ;D

Fingerprint doesnt work all the time
We have noticed some users facing issuers with the fingerprint.
Adding the finger multiple times seems to help increasing its speed.

Google Pay doesnt work
Here you go: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79953438&postcount=2

The beta release bootloops!
Did you do a cleanflash? If yes also try to wipe system and install pa again.

This is a great news, coming from OOS. I love the stock experience but what about bsp thing. How does the developers fix the layer of software containing hardware-specific drivers, to have fully working Rom. So we can have everything working as it should

Same thing happened to me. Followed the exact instruction by OP. Downloaded the recommended TWRP. Stuck at bootloop (been 5 minutes as I'm typing this). Please help?

Same issue as with all of the guys above. Although I'm using the Chinese TWRP that works with Android 10 (MIUI 11 by Xiaomi.EU). Seeing that even using the exact same TWRP in the instructions isn't going to change a thing, I'm not going to give it a shot.

Now I can't even boot to TWRP (after several wipes and format datas), stuck in Fastboot mode. Tried to flash using MiFLash but it gave me antirollback check error (maybe because I've already updated mine to MIUI 11). Please help :(
