Paranoid Android Sapphire Alpha 3- OnePlus 8/T/Pro & 9R

[DizzyThermal]

Anyone have any issues launching games?

Summoners War insta-crashes on launch. I've tried reinstalling, wiping data, cache. Still crashing.

Attached a logcat of the application crashing, the Java stack trace looks like it's failing on:

We are very excited to announce the alpha of Paranoid Android Sapphire, based on Android 12.

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
[*] Ultrawide Camera (OP8T)

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.

Requirements
Make sure you are coming from any Android 11 based OxygenOS build, stable is recommended.


Downloads
You can always get our Alpha builds from our Telegram Group or directly download them from here:
OP8: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1N7Mn1-hei22fPWLuoPE8Obkq7mZ2WT39?usp=sharing
OP8 Pro: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Xx8tl3ueWChlUjIIhFTMOotpD8uDfXjM?usp=sharing
OP8T: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16PdpI8gN8kE5ZFt3WBt8mQc6_p5B7pSk?usp=sharing
OP9R: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1tCN77OBbzSbdoF6TX3PySaMSHu-t4V_J?usp=sharing
(Note, OP8/T & Pro builds are no longer unified)

Note: Custom kernels are not supported unless the kernel says it supports PA and GMS is included!


Instructions
[1] Download the latest fastboot zip we released (hint: it has an -image appended to zip name)
[2] Reboot to bootloader.
[3] Flash the fastboot zip with "fastboot update aospa-*-image.zip"
[4] Reboot into recovery after it is done flashing & wipe userdata.

If you are coming from Alpha 1, you must clean flash due to recent commits related to userdata. If you are coming from Alpha 2 you can dirtyflash it.

If you already flashed Alpha 1 and want to update, 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.

Camera isn't working

 

[eovnu87435ds]

Just flashed the April 7 release for OP8P and so far, it's working fantastically! All of the features I need for daily driving work well.

Are there any plans on bringing screen stabilization to this rom?

 

[Romyo717]

Camera isn't working

Same here on the 9r. Any work around?

 

[thattechguy_69]

Same here on the 9r. Any work around?

You're gonna have to wait for the next maintainer of the rom. The ROM is a blind test for the 9r because its similar to the 8t so the maintainer figured you can use the same ROM on the 9r and the maintainer just lost his OP8Pro

 

[peperami]

Latest adb drivers installed?

How do I check whether I have the latest drivers installed. ADB connects and sees the device as does fastboot, but as soon as I try to fastboot update I get error failed to load not enough space

No, you need to be on OOS11.

 

[lagaff4437]

how to do

so the next alpha version or can't say?

 

[thattechguy_69]

so the next alpha version or can't say?

the next one is beta 1 i think but no news about the next maintainer of the rom so we have to wait for whoever maintains this rom next then we will get the next update

I flashed the April 7 release for the OnePlus 8T and it's very smooth. I love it.

Everything works fine so far, except for the fingerprint sensor and I'm sure this is due to the screen not behaving right.

If e.g. Nightlight is active and the screen is rather red than blue, the in-display fingerprint scanner fails pretty much every time for me.

If I disable it, it works fine.

Maybe we can make the scanner behave more predictably, by enabling a default display setting during finger print access.
We could set the screen to e.g. 75% brightness, Nightlight off and disable screen colour grading.

OxygenOS also behaves like this while the fingerprint is accessed.

Update: 30. Apr 22

I often have to press the power button 3 or 5 times as the display doesn't turn on sometimes. It seems like the system reacts to the power button, but the screen doesn't turn on.

Had a similar issue, turning off the Proximity Detection ("Prevent Accidental Wake Ups") fixed it for me. Now my phone wakes up every time.

I think I even had this bug with the OG stock firmware when the 8T was released. It was fixed in a later update back in 2021 if I remember correctly.

But this fixed it for me! Thx.

Edit: This initially worked, but the problem is back. Pressing the power button doesn't enable the screen sometimes.
Interestingly the UI seems accessible, but backlighting stays at zero.

is there any news on the Beta?
