Development Paranoid Android Topaz 2 - Nothing phone (1)

[herna]

We are very excited to announce Paranoid Android Topaz, based on Android 13.

On the first launch, you’ll notice a clean setup with beautiful wallpapers 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 Organization 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.

[maxed4901]

Want to flash this as I've been looking forward to this for a while. But it's my single use device so I am telling myself to wait till it's out of alpha

How can I use "fastboot erase system" for clean system partition?

 

[Pho3nX]

Some Screenshots for curious people

1st Feedback, especialy for users want keep N1P Stack Features / Apps, READ BEFORE :

Good points :
+ A13
+ Smooth, really a true Android Pure experience
+ Pixel Lovers you will be happy
+ Beautiful AoD
+ Bluetooth, Dual SIM, Geolocalisation+ working fine
+ NOTHING Camera Working perfectly (but only the v12.0.00.98.03 (first release)]

Bad points :
- No LDAC Audio but also no APTX and others, using apparently AAC by default (don't care in my case, my headset don't using)
- No Glyth for Ringtones/Notifications (Only settings for charging/Battery level)
- Some random visual Glitch / Artifact
- Camera is complete but really basical, there a lot features missing in comparaison N1P Camera Stock (BUT Read in Good points, NOTHING Camera can be installed!)

 

[xtcislove]

How to make sure that i have latest firmware on both slots?

 

[AntoXik72]

How to make sure that i have latest firmware on both slots?

You don't have to, I flashed this on 1.1.3 update, working fine.

 

[trepiv]

Dunno if it's a bug or not but fastboot button on website downloads non -image.zip version. Downloaded from telegram and it's all good. Thanks!

 

[bariz143]

Awesome build. But far from complete guys. Only flashed it because of A13
