Does it have the miui camera???

No, it comes with oxygen OS cam, but i use Google cam 8.5 version and everything working and get better images

Does it have the miui camera???

i tried out the default cam and it is solid app, even supports 720p 120fps, 240fps, 960fps slow motion,,
960fps results are unusable though

 

[vicl89]

is there a way to get root and mod directly to system folder without using Magisk??

 

[goldman5]

Hello. Why was the option to turn on the HD icon (volte) and vowifi removed???? In the Beta version this possibility was :-/

 

[tinted]

I am getting single long stutter when i unlock with fingerprint. Not everytime but enough times that it is irritating now. Does anyone else have this as well,?

 

[vicl89]

I see that Slo-mo videos doesn't work as they should, 120fps and 240fps don't work at all, it just record a normal video. 720fps and 960fps seems to make the video but when you try to play it, it just doesn't show clearly. I thought it was the default video player, but I even download Mi Video and it still doesn't work. Is there a solution for this?

Flashed successfully.
And a tip for who using fastboot way:
If you facing "Error ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT not set ". The Solution is:

Environment variable ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT should be set to the directory containing the binary images

Hand down best battery life among all ROMs i tried, it's not even close. I never get more than 5hrs since i enable every feature there is.

I still have to test with some of my apps that run constantly in background, like Google fit activity tracking, Resilio Sync(file backup),wavelet(audio convolution, basically corrects my earphones to more neutral signature),password manager, earbuds software, mi band app.

Hi, how's the stability? Is it as stable as pixelos/arrowos and the likes of those?

I have only used pixel OS briefly so I don't know about its stability but I do feel like paranoid Android is more stable than arrow OS, i think this is the best ROM if you consider the hardware optimisation.i used to get weird mic issue in calls in every other ROM, it's gone.
But this rom does lacks some features compared to other ROMs. 5G support is not there as well.

Check the screenshots i attached below, i cannot go back to any other ROM because of the efficiency and battery life. You might think that others are getting this type of battery in other ROMs as well but for my usage i never got more than 5hrs and stand by was worse in all the other ROMs I tried.
Just to give you an idea of my usage i will list the things i have enabled all the time.
Right now I am getting 5 to 6hrs sot with nearly 2 days usage while using 75% - 80% of battery, 90% to 10%, i try to disconnect charger at 90% battery and charger at 10 or 15%

1. Wifi, Bluetooth(TWS for calls and music(check gaana usage in screenshots), data (rarely go out so i don't use cellular data),NFC, Nearby Sharing, location, auto brightness, lift to wake up screen,
2. Always listening Google assistant, even with screen off
3.Google fit activity tracking
4.Resilio Sync (file syncing app between laptop and phone)(i used to get bad stand by because of this app in other ROMs)
5.wavelet (to tune my IEM and TWS to more neutral sound signature)
6.i have about 280 apps but I do filter the notifications by disabling marketing other nonsense notification channels so i only get notifications from 4 to 5 news applications.

Although the application i use are light weight, my phone and apps setup used to make overall battery life worse but optimisation is good in this ROM.I think biggest thing i noticed is the improvement in stand by time. I don't play intensive games but i played "20 min till dawn(120fps game)" continuously for few hours indoor and the phone did not get hot .

Ask me more specific things that way i can analyse and give you more objective answer

 

[vicl89]

¿Can someone tell me if is there a way to get root? I wanna make some direct mods without magisk and then remove it again.

 

[punzer4]

best battery rom for casual user, though its vanilla like and featureless, it can be replaced from 3rd party app. Fair trade off I guess.

Hey, that was a very detailed answer thank you so much

That battery life looks crazy impressive, I'll try it right now! I'm getting like 6-7 hours on PixelOS and other roms

Just installed it.

So far so good but the QS panel is always laggy; it makes the whole experience unsatisfying

Yep, unlock animation freezes some times as well. But post your battery usage screenshots after you have settled in.

Hey, Madmax, Big fan of your work. Can we expect more active development? This ROM is awesome but feels unpolished at times. Not bringing a particular case but would like to have your thoughts mid-to-long term.
