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.

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.

Would you support this device for more than a couple months as you guys always seem to discontinue builds and we have to switch roms later. Really love the way your ROMs look and feel btw :)

I don't know if it's only me or what, but I find Touch & Holding on the sides of the phone don't register... touches do, but holds don't... I noticed when I was going to delete some characters when writing

Does Magisk work ok with this rom?

Trying to get any custom rom on mine but supposedly most have some issues with Magisk and I would rather not wait. The non flipped nav bar buttons is killin me lol.

Excited to give this a try! Anyone know if pixel only features are still accessible and if the ROM passes safetynet?

    Alright guys, sorry that it took so long, had to rewrite our OTA infrastructure, but here you go

    Topaz Beta 2

    - Fixed issue where device would crash and reboot
    - Fixed long press near the edges of display
    - Fixed thermal mitigation services
    - Addressed some issues that had a negative effect on performance
    - Updated to November SPL (android-13.0.0_r12)
    - Add support for Face Unlock
    - Add support for OTA updates

    Full wipe is recommended if coming from another rom. For those that plan to use PA and actually stick with it (lol) there will be OTA updates whether it be full or incremental and your feedback is appreciated

    any chance i can get re registered as a tester? also... any chance of getting nexmon support for this kernel? ive got kali linux built in through termux but am denied access to bind sockets or switch to monitor mode.... I need, NEED access.

    Kernel is prebuilt AOSP so no way to add support for other things for now

    Is it allowed to make a thread without a source now?
