I honestly think that you should hold this thought a bit until it's stable enough.

7h15 SOT - Excellent Battery Life (with AOD disabled)




What is your Operating System ? Windows 7 ?
You must redo these commands with ADB & Drivers updated.




Il you have installed Root module like "Safetynet Fix" it's the reason you have L3 Wide

PA is stock "Certified", not need to use Module for Certified Device/Safetynet

My OS is windows 11, I am using the latest version of ADB and Fastbootd drivers, also using updated android drivers. Tried everything on a Intel and on a AMD device, nothing changd

Im sure drivers are up to date. I didn't have this when updating from alpha 1 to 2.

Try to copy/past a proper folder contain adb / fastboot files on the c:\ root, don't use adb from a OneDrive synced folder with extracted files from your desktop.
And your line was wrong ;

C:\>fastboot updateC:\Users\kabet\OneDrive\Desktop\aospa-topaz-alpha-3-phone1-20221118-image.zip

instead

If someone is interested: I also tried the connection with my car today, it works perfect. I tried it with Android Auto cable and Android Auto wireless, no problems so far.

Bugs I found on PA Alpha 3 for NP1:

1-General Screen flickering
2-Auto brightness is poor
3-Battery life can be improved


Critical bugs:

1-Screen won't wake up at all with power button sometimes when AOD is on, a forced restart is the only workaround. Keeping the AOD off prevents this bug.

2-Excessive screen flickering when typing on low brightness.

3-Call UI is choppy.

Rest the rom is smooth and very responsive, kudos to the devs!
