Code:
/*
 * Your warranty is not void - from Xiaomi.
 *
 * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
 * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
 * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. Hard. A lot.
 */

Paranoid Android is a custom rom focused on open devices.
We aim to not simply add to Android but extend it, utilizing the same design philosophies Google uses with AOSP (Android Open Source Project).​




Features
This is based on ParanoidAndroid. The goal behind this ROM is not to add tons of features but simply have the same as the official PA devices. So please don't ask about X or Y things to be added !




Installation instructions
1. Make a Nandoid Backup before all !
2. Be rooted
3. Have a custom recovery installed
4. Have flashed the Extended Partition Zip
4. Go to 2nd post and Download the ROM
5. Download gapps (recommended: TK GApps ones)
6. Download SuperSU
7. Reboot into recovery and perform a full wipe (for the first installation. Dirty flash should work for updates)
8. Flash the ROM
9. Flash the gapps
10. Flash SuperSU
11. Reboot and enjoy ! The first boot is longer than the others




Known issues:
HDR bug as all ROMs
Nearly nothing. You tell me




Thanks to:
Bitti09 and BaNks for providing their device and vendor trees
audahadi and TeamHorizon for the Kernel

   I don't exactly know what has been added to the features list but here is what I've found
   (Real changelog will be written here once PA release update so I could see what has really
   been added. You can also go to gerrit and see what has been merged into the repo to 
   see changes)

Hi,
do i need to resize system partitions to install this rom?

Also any camera / phone / wifi bugs ?
About extended partition - It is clearly mentioned in the OP (Installation Instruction - tested only on extended partition)
Camera bug is also mentioned in the OP with the workaround (Known issues section)

Request everybody to please go through the OP at least once before posting queries. Cheers :cool:

Like said, please read the OP before asking question...
The Rom take around 620 Mb on the system partition, so it should work on stock partition but I don't have tested it.
No bugs noticed on phone calls
Wifi work perfectly

Yes, this feature is missed by some of the AOSPA Legacy community members and, I'm not 100% sure but I seem to remember that an AOSPA -Legacy admin said that this feature will be reintroduced. Plus home button to wake ;)

Can I take your screenshots for the Presentation ?

Also your gdrive linke will be added to the second post ;) EDIT: can you rename it please ? I would like you to leave the original name thanks

When stock layout will come...!!! I hate this extended layout system
And so it begins...
Read the OP before asking questions... It has been said that it can be working on stock partition (not tested)

Also I don't have the time to create a zip for stock partition, so if this build don't work on it, there will never be a stock partition system. Thanks for your comprehension
