What's the flashing procedure then for Alpha 2? The method in OP doesn't work.
Code:
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
error: update package 'pa.zip' has no android-info.txt
Paranoid Android Ruby Beta 5 - OnePlus 8/Pro
- Thread starter ZVNexus
- Start date
The instructions in OP are correct, I've been flashing like that for months.
I get this error:
Code:
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
error: update package 'pa.zip' has no android-info.txtThe build does contain android-info.txt. What's inside the zip for you?
That isn't the correct build, the very first instruction in OP is "Download the latest build we released with "-image" appended near the end".
pa-ruby-alpha-1-oneplus8-20201122-image.zip 23-Nov-2020 02:55 2071268301
pa-ruby-alpha-2-oneplus8-20201221.zip 21-Dec-2020 15:27 1597140854
These are the two files I see and alpha 2 doesn't have an "-image" version.
Ah NVM the OTA is the correct one then. I had another OTA in there but looks like it was deleted by someone. I'll change the instructions to reflect that.
So is the 21/12 build ok to flash? cheers, thanks for all your hard work I'm excited to flash
Check for hidden devices in device manager, nuke them and reattach your device. Let the installation do the rest..I've had that a few times.
Nice...
Edit : All good, accept very poor speaker sound.

So, im trying to install this.
First i try to install the build with the -image at the end. When i do that, it goes well and it reboots in recovery. But the screen goes mental, thousands of different colours. Like looking at a broken TV screen.
It works, because i can see movement on the screen but not how its supposed to work i guess. I cannot boot into PA either..
First edit: i managed to get the first version to work. Used another recovery and that works. Now trying to sideload the second version.
Second edit: installing beta2 via sideload stops after 47%. Dont know why..
Third edit: problem was my recovery. I got another recovery from a xda user that works like a charm. Am on the latest PA now. Looks really good.
Only question: is it possible to remove the android bar at the bottom?
Wireless charging works. I get more juice but nowhere is shown that it's chsrgings.

Can anyone comfirm is Verizon works on the One Plus 8 Pro? So far no ROMS do.
I'd assume it's the same as all the rest of them.
Tested Verizon on global OP8 yesterday, works fine. So don't see it being different for the 8 Pro

We are very excited to announce the beta of Paranoid Android Ruby, based on Android 11.
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.

Device-specific issues
Call related issues on Google Fi
Miracast
There are likely many other issues, these are just the most prominent to me. Don't come into this with the expectation any issue you come across will be fixed in a timely manner.
Note: Custom kernels are NOT supported unless the kernel says it supports PA and GMS is included!
Requirements
My preferred logging format is:
adb logcat -b all -d *:E > logcat-err.log
adb logcat -b all -d > logcat.log
adb shell dmesg > dmesg.log
Then you can upload them to https://del.dog and send me the link for each one.
Download (Note, OP8 & Pro builds are no longer unified)
Instructions
- Download the latest fastboot zip we released (hint: it has an -image appended to zip name)
- Reboot to bootloader.
- Flash the fastboot zip with "fastboot update pa-*-signed-image.zip"
- Reboot into recovery after it is done flashing & wipe userdata.
If you already flashed Beta 1, then you can just sideload the OTA in recovery if it is avaliable, although there might be only fastboot images up for the latest version so keep that in mind.
