We are very excited to announce the release of Paranoid Android Quartz, based on Android 10.

On the first launch, you’ll notice a clean setup with a beautiful wallpaper 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, included in our builds.

Our builds are based on the Code Aurora Forum 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.

Device-specific issues:
  • You tell me.

Note:
  • Custom kernels are NOT supported!
  • Make sure to change or reapply exisiting wallpaper after clean flash/ 1st bootup to fix black glitch on lockscreen and some performance issues

very good, but how come, Custom kernels will not be supported?
will the kernel stock be good enough to suit those who play a lot and who value battery durability?

We need live display settings because of burn in problem with mido, and there's that annoying "sim 1 is hd capable notification".
Other than that, rom is pretty good and smooth af.
Wanna try this ROM, but i prefer to wait for the update that fix this.

nice but there's one annoying bug, I cannot disable the navigation gesture bar
I'll try this ROM when this bug be solved in future updates, disabling nav gesture bar is important for me, cause i use the fiscal buttons.

24bit+/192khz playback doesn't seem to work. Mind fixing it ?
Nonetheless, this seems to be the smoothest rom out for Mido, barring in few issues here and there.
