[ROM][6.0.1][UNOFFICIAL]Paranoid Android 6.0 for i9300 [AOSP]

[Gokulbalram]

Ahoy! Once again, PA's back (for our device, I mean)! This time, this ROM isn't based on CM rather AOSP (The nexus sources). I don't know if there will be legacy sources as such, but looking at how today's ROMs are basing themselves off of AOSP-CAF and AOSP, I don't think they will but hey enough with the reading already, go enjoy the ROM

Bugs:
Gapps may not install on first boot, you'll have to boot ROM first, then flash gapps, then wipe data and then boot.
Keypress light is back to the old always-on kinda style (Tried various things, wouldn't work :/)

NOTE: This ROM is based on AOSP so it has that weird chipset-specific boot issue. So flash the included zip (Thanks @orsonbear)
NOTE2: If you face error 7, you can scroll down to post#3 for installation instructions

Download:
AndroidFileHost
Bootloop fix (for users who can't boot their device)

Even then if the zip doesn't work, you can try @orsonbear's fix or @turbolukex5's fix

FAQ:

Q. Why is there only 770~MB of RAM?
A. The kernel comes with CMA on which gives better performance and stability at the cost of memory

Q. Why won't my device boot?
A. This is a chipset related issue. But don't worry, instructions are in the OP

Q. What is the difference between AOSP and AOSP-CAF?
A. Slightly OT, but since many might be confused, AOSP ROMs are based on the Android source straight from Google, while AOSP-CAF (Code Aurora Forums) is optimized for Snapdragon devices in general and has slight enhancements for better Hardware-Software symbiosis (not the right word but I hope you get the point).

Installation Instructions

If the traditional wipe, flash, boot works for you, very well. But if you face error 7, you can follow the following procedure:

1) Once you face the error, wipe data, system and both the caches
2) Reboot Recovery (Do not let it root for you)
3) Flash ROM (and cfw zip if you have the chipset issue)

OK, so ROM is very fast. I mean, extremely fast Hope the RIL will get fixed soon, because restoring EFS from backup didint work for me.

Just watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8c1zymMY-Z8

 

[Gokulbalram]

Alrighty! New build is up

Grab it here

Also, if any of the chaps who have the bootloop issue can check out the fix zip and let me know if it works, it'd be awesome

Thank You @Gokulbalram for this rom It works flawlessly, but video recording on snapchat is broken (wrong colors) and the rotaded images coming out of camera. Hope You can fix them somehow

As for Snapchat, does the video go through?

Also for pictures, I'd suggest you use Google Camera as that one has 0 issues with orientation

 

[aciupapa]

After holding camera icon on snapchat i have to wait for 5 sec, then it starts recording in normal colors, after i leave the recording button, the video has messed up colors.

Is there any way to turn keypress light OFF ?
If i install boeffla kernel?

 

[aciupapa]

@up you can install xposed framework and gravitybox to control button light scenario or as You written above, flash boeffla ANY-kernel zip

---------- Post added at 15:30 ---------- Previous post was at 15:26 ----------

@Gokulbalram I'm experiencing random reboots on every AOSP 6.0 based rom (Haxynox, Slim, Tesla and PA) Am I doing something wrong when flashing, or it is a ROM issue?

---------- Post added at 15:44 ---------- Previous post was at 15:30 ----------

BTW, I've flashed agni PureCM any kernel and i can charge my phone (Before it wasnt charging on PA) and control the key lighting up scenario,

Boeffla Any-Kernel does not work.

AGNi kernel works though.

When do you see these reboots?

 

[aciupapa]

@Gokulbalram sometimes when I put device to sleep it reboots, or when the device freezes (when not doing any heavy task), or i install app from playstore, the device sot reboots.

That's very weird. Do you have any kernel settings set as such?

 

[aciupapa]

No, I have soft reboots on PA stock kernel provided with this rom as well as on AGNi kernel. I will test a little bit with AGNi and will let you know how it works. Also on every AOSP based rom there is an issue that i reported in Tesla's thread, when sometimes your Wi-Fi card mac adress changes to 02:00:00:00:00:00 where it should be 88:32:9b:58:3b:ba
