[UNOFFICIAL]Paranoid Android Quartz Alpha [OnePlus 7T Pro]

[kessaras]

Hi, it was my personal idea , i took the initiative to create an XDA thread so that you all get a taste of what's coming soon. I didn't want to keep this any more to myself. So this thread is sure to be updated soon. You must have thought that your device doesn't have any support right ? Wrong !

We’re really excited to announce the release of Paranoid Android Quartz Alpha, 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. For those who are unfamiliar, 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 enhances the overall user experience. This time around he have his wallpaper app Abstruct, were you will be able to find all of the Paranoid Android wallpapers alongside a huge amount of amazing wallpapers.

The alpha builds include adjustments and improvements on top of the stock Android CAF base. The Paranoid Android team and contributors are focusing on squashing existing bugs, and implementing and improving features.

it should.
personally i don't know because i don't own that McLaren model.

Guys the initial setup wizard from google may cause issues.

pm disable com.google.android.setupwizard

if it crashes and i will solve this as soon as i find the best gapps package for us.
For now thats the best i found.

Attention. I'm uploading now a build with working GAPPS.
And from now on i will upload only OTAs but you will have to flash them manually.
I will upload a full firmware when there is an update there, otherwise there is no reason to flash all the partitions.
Hold on few minutes and the build will be there.
Enjoy.

EDIT:
It's up but i'm unsure if this time again the initial setup wizard is fine as i didn't format my phone, i need it.
Do not forget to fastboot -w to format it before you flash anything when coming from another rom.

Ok. And everyone keep in mind that it's not easy for me to format everyday. If this setup wizard by Google has any issue now or in the future , be patient with it. We still don't have GAPPS so I'm doing what I can with these.

the last build says jan-15 10:06, this the last build or the one from today isn`t showing up?

It is the same build. I only changed the Google setup wizard apk inside.
Rom is close to stock oxygen stable. Only this apk gives me trouble since I can't format to test it, I need the phone at work.
If it still crashes I will keep changing it until we get one which works. Or you can do it urself too. I build with root access to adb , until we officially release. Extract a working SetupWizard and adb push it in place to replace the one in product/priv-app

I did a clean flash. "Android setup keeps stopping" after I insert pin. can`t move from there. Can I do something to get past this?

Either wait till tomorrow , either adb shell, pm disable com.google.setupwizard.
If pc doesn't have access now because it hasn't done first boot, just wait until tomorrow.
Without TWRP we can't do anything more.

If current TWRP can mount system and product partitions you can rm -rf /product/priv-app/<path to setup wizard>

Really sorry. Can't test that stupid setup wizard currently at my phone. Tomorrow last day of week at work , then I can test.

Sadly can`t be done. Can`t see the phone with adb. no worries mate, I hope we will get through this and we can enjoy the rom. I assume you use it so probably there are not any bugs that keep us from using it as daily driver. Have a nice day

Thanks a lot for this! Started worrying about support for the 7t Pro!

You can also do it from the ADB enabled stock recovery.
Do you thing the Safetynet will be fixed later? Would be nice to use Gpay.

Sorry for slight offtopic, but how do you use Gpay in Hungary?
