[ROM][OFFICIAL] Paranoid Android Sapphire Beta 1 - Poco F2 Pro

[mickaelmendes50]

We are very excited to announce the beta of Paranoid Android Sapphire, based on Android 12.1/12L

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 CodeLinaro OSS 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.

⚠ !!! ATENTION !!! ⚠

Downloads
You can always get our Alpha builds from our Telegram Group or directly download them from here:

Instructions
[1] Reboot to Recovery.
[2] Wipe userdata.

Starting with Alpha 1, you must clean flash due to recent commits related to userdata.

If you already flashed Alpha 1 and want to update, then you can just sideload the OTA in recovery if it is avaliable, although there might be only fastboot images up for the latest version so keep that in mind.

I found that it turns on with the power + volume up button. Is there a way to change it?

I also encountered the same problem. Before this, I have turned off the option of long pressing the power button to turn on OK Google

For now this is the expected behavior (CAF defaults), but we're going to revert back to the common way soon

 

[gostavovinicius]

Last MIUI Global is the 12.5.3.0.RJKMIXM ?

Yes, flashing only the fw is enough

 

[ottogiugno]

I need to hide root but I can't install magisk. How do I solve?

 

[mickaelmendes50]

You can install it by patching boot.img using Magisk App, then flash the patched boot.img using fastboot.

 

[ottogiugno]

Is there any guide to do this?

 

[ali nz]

Is there any guide to do this?

Extract boot.img from ROM zip file
Select boot.img in magisk app and patch through app
Copy patched boot.img to PC
Reboot phone to bootloader
Open cmd and run "fastboot flash boot 'patched boot.img' "
and reboot

Thanks. Now I'm trying Spark OS but it's an useful information anyway.

Happy to confirm that the 8K mode of the MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix gcam is working with build 20220308

 

[RootNightmareX]

[ZhiYu]

Glad to see you are still updating lmi's rom, I'll try it when I get home.
