Hi outlook in my work apps is not suggesting email addresses in this ROM. Rest all is working fine and smoothly. Glymph I don't use so not an issue though phone ring glymph lights aren't working for me.

I think they didn't have sounds, they are just glyph interface not synchronised with ringtones I am correct or not?
The patterns are there not the sounds, but you can download the sounds yourself and put them on the internal SD card and use them in parallel. It's less elegant this way, but still workable. Doesn't bug me as I have the phone on vibrate at all times anyway.

@herna Very good and stable ROM. Only issue I noticed is with brightness settings. The sensor calibrated brightness is too low in low light. The screen looks very dim in low light and doesnt really light up as it used to on the original ROM. Even if you manually up the brightness it is not optimal and the screen still looks dark. I have experienced this on other Custom ROM's as well. Any fix for that.

Hi guys, I'm on stable 3.0 - want to update to stable 3.1 - which procedure I need to follow?
It is possible to do update without use of fastboot commands thru pc?
Thanks in advance!

Just tried flashing aospa-topaz-3.1 with fastboot update successfully according to the terminal. using latest adb/fastboot but just reboots to bootloader fastboot mode. After first update flash I entered recovery and factory reset it and then proceeded to run the command again in which it flashed the b_slot (might've been my fault for changing it in order to be able to entering recovery mode since it didn't work in slot a). Anyways I tried the same, it flashed the b slot and I entered recovery once again and ran the command again - doesn't boot. I've not set the a slot to active and I've flashed it again (after factory reset) but it just boots up into the fastboot mode.. Any ideas?

Going to try 3.0 and see if that makes a difference.

Went back to 1.1.7 using nothing-phone-tools (still bricked) and tried flashing fastboot update aospa-topaz-alpha-*-image.zip, unfortunately still same results as earlier tries :/

    After a week of using NOS 2.0, I can say that I prefer Paranoid!
    Autonomy, no difference (between 5 and 7h SOT depending on use)
    Better design on Paranoid

    No bugs on either side, so there's no point in me staying with NOS

    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.
