[ROM][AOSPA] Paranoid Android 5.1.1 [2015-Sep-25][Unofficial]

[encho]

Welcome to the world of Paranoid Android.

This ROM at its current stage is not for everyone. It is very close to stock and does not feature x, y, and z like other ROMs do. What made it famous once is the great bunch of developers behind it, bringing most innovative features to Android devices, carving a path to what is Lollipop today. Immersive mode, per app settings, halo, hover, pie, are just some of them worth mentioning. Meanwhile, the devs are busy with the real world, currently building OxygenOS for One Plus. Whether or not PA will return to its former glory, we can not know. Devs that are still there say good things will come this summer. Let us hope so. Apparently not.

Flash this ROM if:

• You are PA nostalgic.
• You do not mind things being broken occasionally.
• You like speed and basic AOSP.
• You like being unique.
• You are paranoid.
• You are cool.

Do not flash if:

• You do not know what AOSPA/PA is.
• You like stable ROMs with regular release cycles.
• You have no time or know how to do logcats.
• You ask too many questions.
• You are uncool.

This ROM uses CM device tree and AOSPA Legacy sources for everything else. Flash at your own discretion, I do not feel responsible for anything that might happen to your phone as a result of using it, or consequently anything else in your life. I like breaking and fixing stuff, so if your phone breaks I will try to help in fixing it but no promises made. Download links in second post. Other stuff in third.

And, most importantly, #stayparanoid.

Im so Paranoid about flashing Paranoid android. I mean the Android in me is so Paranoid about being Paranoid. So now that the Android is Paranoid about being Paranoid he cannot stop flashing Android which is making him even more Paranoid and Androids shouldnt have to be Paranoid....so i guess this makes him Paranoid Android. Welcome to Note 3 guys, its good to have you here

Dear Encho,

First of all I would like to thank you for all your hard work and for all these quality ROMs! I'm sure that I'm not the only one who thinks that you should earn some $ for coding this stuff...

But I have a BIG issue which breaks my satisfaction completely when using AOSP based roms for my N9005. It doesn't matter if I use your Paranoid, or Euphoria, or Temasek's, or R-Remix, or official CM12.... On every Lollipop AOSP/Cm rom I can't send and receive MMS. Also, I'm experiencing network problems - my phone keeps loosing the connection 2-3 or more times every hour. I noticed this is happening about 10 seconds after I hit "send" button (MMS). I have checked everything billions times, APN settings are allright too.... The weirdest part is, on 4.1.x AOSP roms, everything runs perfectly fine, with no delay, just like on TW based soft... I have no idea what's causing this :-\

I'm sorry for bothering you with such problems, but maybe you know the answer to this mystery. I'm stuck with this issue from the beginning. I found a few guys who experienced the same problems, but I think they just quited AOSP roms and returned to stock/TW... So am I

Trying to flash and my phone is telling me this is for hlte and my phone is hltecan and it's not compatible. I've never had this issue before. Anyone know what causes that?

Thanks

 

[comptonhubbard]

can't get it to write to the SD card keeps giving error that this has stopped copying

What is your radio and bootloader?

This is for hlte int, tmo and spr. I can add can to the next build.

No such problems here, what's your card's format?

 

[jonny908]

What is your radio and bootloader?

Bootloader: N9005XXUGBOA5
Baseband: N9005XXUGBOA1

Is that correct??

You are up to date, so that's not it. Could be that your APN settings are wrong. Can you check your official provider's APN and compare with what you have in network settings?

Much appreciated if you could. That said, I've always used pretty much whatever Rom in here without issue, now I'm getting this error (not just on your Rom ).

I've also had the same MMS issues on all cm/aosp ROMs. There is something not working properly with the default messaging app. But if you install google messenger MMS should send through that just fine, at least it does for me. Here's the google play link for it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging
@encho will this rom work on hltespr? Ask because most have a seperate hltespr build.

 

[gerardroid]

well i see you give good support
count me in:laugh::good:...just installed it working great so far..
curious about the battlife..come back one this after 2 cycles
thanks

International, spr and tmo are currently on the list. Adding can at the next build. Anyone else? [emoji41]

Don't expect miracles when it comes to battery life. I'm surprised that I made this work at all. [emoji51]

Great thanks for the reply. I'll give this a run later tonight. One more quick question. Do your other roms support sprint? Bliss and euphoria in particular.
