Development Paranoid Android Topaz Beta 1 - Google Pixel 7 Pro

4. Occasionally, I get pop-up notifications that Adaptive Connectivity Services has stopped working, and I have to close it.
Could be wrong but I believe that Adaptive Connectivity Services is built in to the ROM as well, if you also restore it from backup it conflicts and crashes. Seem to remember folks having that issue with another rom.

Thanks for the rom

So far working well

Is there anyways to get back the original camera app with the additional functionality?

I tried installing gcam apk 8.7 but it just force closes

Thanks in advance

Hi I just wanted to stop by and report this minor bug I am experiencing. The indicators at the top of the screen appear twice when I pull down the drawer. That's all. Loving the ROM!

Finally flashed the ROM today, wanted to do so for a long time. Flashing over the January Patch didn't work, gave me a bootloop. Restored to the November Patch, afterwards it flashed fine. So far it's running great, but I've been running just for a couple of hours so far. Excited for the upcoming things.

Found a small bug, for me it's always showing LTE in the status bar although I definitely use 5G (based on the measured speeds and he also says 5G in the settings). So it's just the status bar symbol that's wrong. Anyone else having the same problem?

We are very excited to announce the beta of 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.

    Hi everyone! How is battery life on this? I'd heard that stock ROM has had dramatic battery life improvement with subsequent patches after launch, and I was wondering how this compares.
    This hasn't been updated since November of 2001 do not flash or your phone will explode with rainbows and glitter . YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

    One of the admins on telegram mentioned that they plan a build for march.

    Well I flashed this to my Pixel 7 Pro.

    It bootlooped for a while and then just settled on a black screen. Completely screwed.
    Plug it into a PC, it comes up as a USB Serial Device (COM4).

    Cannot do anything with it at all.

    Wait.. Did you flash this rom which is based off of Nov firmware while probably being on stock Feb firmware??🤡

    Could we get the march security update for this? Im thinking of switching back to the stock pixel rom as that security vulnerability is a really bad one.

    This is VERY valuable knowledge - thank you. Camera performance is paramount for me. You just saved me hours of work and worry wiping, flashing, setting up PA and maybe Lineage, only to have to revert back to stock due to image quality issues. Hopefully someday camera source code may be made open, or maybe some of the brilliant devs out there may figure out a solution.
    Don't believe him, his statement is wrong. I have already said that yesterday but seems like people just keep skipping it.

    Fixed, the website didn't get updated until the threads were posted

    This rom has support for OTA updates. If you plan to stick around with PA, your feedback will be appreciated on our new OTA system. We're consistently testing full and incremental OTA updates.

    Key Features

    - Face unlock support
    - A slew of Pixel exclusive features
    5
    The Google Camera was made to run on Pixel devices, whatever HALs, libs, permissions, etc, not in AOSP already can be extracted from the device itself (and it's not a lot, lol)

    My cam works just fine, if this is the first time being on a Pixel for some of you, then you're stressing about nothing, lol, Google Camera was made for Pixels.

    I can't speak for this PA build because I haven't flashed it, my builds have everything stock has, plus some. I can still use my camera to zoom @ 30x, the macro works as expected, now playing, etc, etc

    There's only one way to see if a custom ROM is right for you...

    That's my two pennies...
