I'm sorry for being so annoying but this is my first rom that i'm going to flash. I don't understand when you say "install this rom like pixel experience".

Hi. What flashing option do you people recommend, why and how would the flashing option affect the os?
Fastboot or Recovery
Fastboot or Recovery
With paranoid, we have 2 method:
Recovery:
1. unlock bootloader
2. install twrp through fastboot
3. format data
4. install rom
5. reboot into recovery
6. format data
7. boot system
Fastboot:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Use miflash tool to flash rom through fastboot
Your rom file must 100% for your device, or your phone'll be bricked
*Youtube for more information
I've watched this tutorial, is this really that easy to install? Or there is something that this tutorial doesn't show? I've already applied to mi for unlocking the bootloader and now im waiting. And what method do you recommend. What is easier and would this rom work with SPESN or Redmi Note 11 NFC
recovery is safer than fastboot. A SD card is reccomended. Because fastboot depend on your connection between pc and phone, if it break, your phone may bricked
Would the flashing method affect the system at all. Or it would be same in both ways? Fastboot seems far easier and less worrying about making wrong move. Since in the video it says to flash the default miui rom then flash paranoid android
Yes, both are the same result, different method, fastboot is easier but you need a stable connection with your pc, recovery is harder but safer when you can backup your android and restore it whenever you want.
If you update to the lastest version of miui, you don't have to worry about it.
So if i have good and stable usb connection, i will be just fine with using fastboot method? Since from the video recovery seems harder, and for some reason he flashed the miui rom first
Does the video explain what should i do and should i do copy what he does. And should i flash the default rom first, even though its my stock rom already on my phone.
Do everything step by step but you don't need flash your stock rom again if you are using lastest version miui.
Edit: I forgot it's firmware file, you need flash it first
Ok so i need to download miui latest firmware and flash it first. If i go with recovery.
So it won't get any updates or just it doesn't get monthly updates. I meant if it was reguraly updated

First of all, bug reporting here is for stable releases. Second, it's a known bug related to the custom kernel the build's using. No workaround actually.1
PA? Most likely, next year. By the way, it is considered rude here in the forum to ask for ETA (estimated time of arrival). -

We are very excited to announce the alpha/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.

Cheers and #StayParanoid!3This rom is nice, almost perfect. Almost evrything works according to my usage. Frustratrated of
using mi rom and their security app and coming from a oneplus experience, I had to move to other rom.
As of proprietory camera driver as I understand, I didn't find any camera app to work properly and
I prtend I don't have a camera with this crappy mobile phone.
Now coming to this rom, I found some issues which I am listing below.
- Video calling works, tap2wake works and is stable(unlike Xtended, haven't tried crDroid yet)
- No secure lockscreen i.e. notification menu on lockscreen is visible
- No way to change navigation buttons functionality (i.e. long press & double tap)
- No custom navigation panel style.
- No display when incoming call (perhaps a bug) at times.
- No AOD and no lockscreen clock customization.
- Can't install twrp succesfully (The A/B methods are really messy and also fastboot and fastbootd) and I haven't risked anything using magisk.
- Don't know if fast charging works(no fast charge visual confirmation).
- Only one screen off gesture (double tap), have to long press power button to invoke torch.
But I do appriciate the good work of the developer. I'm using this rom as a daily driver. I haven't checked crDroid or PixelExperience.
Perhaps someone can shed some light on that.
Thank you all. Have a nice day.2
Funny, I skipped Stable 3 for the upcoming beta releases what seem to explain that I never got the gps issue. On the latest beta (from Dev's sourceforge folder) Chrome even plays videos again.2I use Pixel Experience Plus as daily driver and recently made a switch, here's my first impression/comparison
- Comes with GCam Go instead of the stock camera
- 4 numbers pin (PE+ makes you press the enter button)
- No double back tap
- Lock screen by double tapping home instead of quick settings
- At a Glace can be turned off
- Google search bar can be turned off
- Icon and Font customization
- Tons of feature flags on Home settings
- Recent menu shows Screenshot + Lens option instead of Screenshot + Select
- Comes with more GApps then PE+ (YouTube, Drive, Maps, Gmail, etc.)
- No option to hide battery icon when percentage is shown. Only option is to show icon, icon + percentage, icon + percentage when charging, or hide everything
- The one-handed mode gesture can be used for notification instead
This is my first impression, so I have yet to test the battery and performance. Please let me know if there was any mistake. I'll make an update after using this for a while
