Paranoid Android Sapphire Beta 2 - OnePlus 7 Pro

[timo_capa]

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

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 from the PlayStore.

Our builds are based on the Code Linaro 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.

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.

How to root it?

 

[bigdaddysuede]

Thank you for making this available! Confirmed working on Verizon. Haven't tried Gpay yet. Unable to set up fingerprint, asks for rear sensor. ROM is nice and smooth.

Has anyone successfully booted into this?

Does this have extra dim features?

Extra dim toggle is working.

 

[bigdaddysuede]

How to root it?

Extract the boot.img from the zip file and patch it using Magisk.

 

[ramrastus]

Extract the boot.img from the zip file and patch it using Magisk.

Then flash patched boot img from fastboot mode?

 

[bigdaddysuede]

Then flash patched boot img from fastboot mode?

That is correct. Worked out great for me.

 

[misaelnaranjo20]

Thanks, I'm happy for test.

Please make a vanilla version without google play store. Roms without google play get twice or more attention. Google playstore sucks! I also feel paranoid android should have a vanilla version just by the name, lol.

Thank you for making this available! Confirmed working on Verizon. Haven't tried Gpay yet. Unable to set up fingerprint, asks for rear sensor. ROM is nice and smooth.

Someone else had the "asks for rear sensor" issue but it works for most other people, so I don't know if this is something I have to investigate or if it's something on your side

What do you mean by "rear sensor"?

 

[bigdaddysuede]

What do you mean by "rear sensor"?

I'd have to factory reset and try registering fingerprint again. Upon trying to set up fingerprint unlock, it asks for rear fingerprint sensor. Usually the icon appears on screen to capture your fingerprint. In my case, it was asking for rear fingerprint sensor. *update I just flashed the rom again, factory reset in recovery, skipped logging into google account and still face the fingerprint issue asking me to use rear sensor as in my earlier screenshot. Not a deal breaker for me.

 

[Hazelnutz]

That's messed up

I flashed the rom again using the installation steps, I even skipped logging into my google account and still faced the fingerprint issue of asking me to use rear sensor. No biggie if I can't use the fingerprint unlock.
