Question Paranoid Android Sapphire (A12) - Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40

So PA seems to be back from the dead (again) and have started sharing their Android 12 version (code named: Sapphire) and their sources are up on GitHub, taking a look, do you guys think it's as good as previous ROMs of theirs? Is it worth it trying to bring it to our devices?

I was using Paranoid Android on my last phone and it was a great experience , I am happy that they are still developing it ...

[BUILD] Galaxy S 5 - klte

Hi everyone
Well, I'm trying to build my first rom today, and after a lot of tutorial, still something I don't understand.
So, I want to start with the last AOSPA and for now, I don't really know how to put in the local_manifest file. I have found some Github with android_device_samsung_klte source (I guess ?), but I see a lot of local_manifest (for aospa) with vendor = pa_klte. Someone can explain me that ? x)
Other question, what's the command "brunch" is ? Seems to be used to build, but my Linux didn't recognize it...
So, to sum up, I looking for someone who had already build an AOSPA Rom, in order to help me to build the klte build !
I would like to see a version of Paranoid Android for the Galaxy S5 as well. I own the Verizon Developer Edition of the phone and am willing to test out Paranoid Android builds for it.
We will never officially support the s5
#stayparanoid
No problem about the "officialy supported".
Anyone to help me ?
After some tests... Same error...
Why will you never officially support the s5?

Older versions of LineageOS?

CyanogenMod was brilliant for old devices. You could take CM9, tweak it around, and install it on something like the Galaxy Ace GT-S5830. You could breathe life into an old device.
Will there be older versions of LineageOS to accomplish the same thing? For example, an Android 4.2 Jelly Bean LineageOS? Or will it go no lower than Nougat 7.1?

Any device that was actively being developed when CM ended should be picked up by Lineage OS. If the device was no longer supported by CM, it is not likely to be supported now.
It goes back to 6.0.1 but no further.
It will do both, apparently.....
Someone appears to have updated the cm-12.1 branch, FWIW. I'm wondering if they're slowly working backwards.

That would be my assumption since it's probably a lot easier to find people with knowledge to build CM13/12.1 than people with building knowledge for CM7 per say.

Funny you should say that, because I had to do just that very thing. I own an old phone (Motorola Atrix 4G) that never officially got support beyond CM7, so I've created my own custom CM7 for it (I'm using it as a glorified media player, but it's also allowed me to hone up on my Android ROM tinkering skills). When CM became LinOS, I created a Github organization (https://github.com/CM-Archive) to preserve the CM "gingerbread" branch, and found that there were a few things that need to be changed in order to make a clean compile. I'd offer to bring the "gingerbread" branch on LineageOS up to date for those few people who really need the CM7 code, as I've already done the work and know what needs to be changed, but as I've never made any contributions to CM or any ROM project, I don't know how to go about it. Can anyone tell me what I need to do? Something easy to follow, not "Get the frimfram and keloplotz the FTL missengibble on the gonfropple."

That's pretty epic dude! I have an LG Lucid vs840 from that had a CM9 out fot it was considering doing the same thing. As for helping them with their efforts I have no idea where to start.
But I do have a question, do you think it'd be very hard to update the cm7 cm9 or cm11 to Marshmallow devices? This might sound foolish but im still curious lol
The CM repo is moved wholesale to LineageOS, so if you know how to build, you could still build any version you like from the new source, provided that the older version was there previously in CM. I've built Lineage 13 (CM13) for several of my devices just now since I still need Xposed.
You can't expect any useful updates for <CM12.1 though, as CM had stopped working on them long ago. Not worth the extra effort of maintaining them, plus unfixable security holes.
Not looking to maintain them, simply to update them to compile from the LinOS repo. Specifically, the default.xml in the android package needs the references to CyanogenMod changed to LineageOS, and other references need to be changed as well. Once that's done, nothing further needs to be done.

You say that, but there was CM for my old 2011 LG phone but I would be tremendously surprised if a LOS ROM ever shows up because there doesn't seem to be any active development for that device anymore. Makes me sad because I would love to have LOS on it (and security updates newer than 2012) but I wouldn't bank on it... the newest CM ROM I can find for it is from 2015.

Paranoid Android Release Version

Hi,
Im new to Paranoid Android, but i have tried various other roms.
I just wanted to find out what the 'RELEASE' version is on Paranoid Android.
On the Nexus 5 File, it has the Word Release in the tile of the file.
Is it like the Nightly builds on Lineage OS/ Cyanogenmod?
Thanks

Hi!
In Paranoid Android we have three tags for zips that I will explain to you.
DEV= It´s the one used for everyone who compiles PA by himself, and it´s the default one for not official builds.
MEDIA BUILD: As you can imagine, it´s just for medias which test the builds for getting them articles ready
RELEASE: Any build that you download from get.aospa.co which includes this tag is meant to be the official build released for that device by the Paranoid Android team. It guarantees that device is very stable plus it includes all of our features(they went public on Github this afternoon).
So in your case, that file that you found is the official zip by us for the Nexus 5. Is like the SNAPSHOT tag that CyanogenMod had before switching to LineageOS.
Wish you to flash PA and enjoy it!
Thanks for your help

Need a stable Custom ROM !

I would highly recommend Paranoid OS, very stable when I used it. Now I use the Oxygen OS Oreo open beta, and I like it more than Paranoid OS, mainly because its stability (seems weird saying a beta is stable but hey havn't had any crashes in like 2-3 weeks.)
One thing to be noted, until you replace the bootloader, and change the SELinux policy you won't be able to install Magisk and it will actually bootloop and brick your device.
Besides that running good!
One of the main reasons why I loved Paranoid OS was because of all the customization options. I loved the quick pull down, and the full Substratum support.
I however wouldn't recommend Lineage OS. I tried both 14.1 and 15.0 and they both were very eh. They felt slow at times and froze temporarily and apps crashed. However, this is all just anecdotal evidence that I have so it is certainly possible other users have had more positive experiences with the ROM than I have. I know that plenty of people love it actually.
Took many flashes too find the ROM I like now, so I recommend you don't just pick one and sit with it, try all of em! At least that's what I did. :/
Here is a short list of all the ROMs I have tried along with my personal ratings for them.
Dirty Unicorns \\ 9/10
Paranoid Android 7.3.1 \\ 9/10
Lineage OS 14.1 & 15.0 \\ 6/10
Oxygen OS 4.5.1 \\ 6/10
Oxygen OS Open Beta 25 & 26 \\ 9/10
Experience OS (Just Oxygen OS Open Beta with a few slight modifications for a better overall user experience). \\ 8/10
Remix Resurrection \\ 6/10 (Had a lot of the same issues Lineage OS did, which makes sense since it is based off it I believe)
AOSP 7.1.2 \\ 8.5/10 (Security patches are stuck in July, if it wasn't for that it would be my daily driver actually.)
Also a heads up if you go with Paranoid OS like I did at first, use WhiteWolf's Kernel. It is actually really good, gave me about 10% more SoT. Although that was on 7.3.0, not sure if it still works on 7.3.1 although it should.
For all the other ROMs I reccomend blu_spark recovery+kernel.
Best of luck!

Based on 7.1, however they have stopped updating 7.1 to my knowledge and have been working completely on Oreo from what I know. Should be here in no time.

For Paranoid OS, the kernel options are very limited. I think its only the stock one (which is fine imo), the Winter one, which saves on power a bit, and another one. Theres not really much difference between them for gaming, and really if you are looking to game you are going to be looking at overclocking a bit yourself. I would recommend using blu_spark kernel for anything that isn't Paranoid OS and just overclocking it.
Flashed Oxygen Oreo Beta on oneplus 3 but getting very very low sound in voice call .. any 1 facing this issue ? on stock or custom rom ?

I tried almost all the custom roms out there but sadly non of them were as stable as the stock oxygen even the bid names out there (paranoid, lineage)
Paranoid has lost most of the devs and its essence in rom development scenario. I still miss the old paranoid I used during kitkat days.
The new team has been struggling a lot to keep up with the latest android updates. No timely updates, always falling behind of other teams.
The 2nd runner up in my opinion was exodus rom but the dev team for that rom has been split, so no hope there.
Im currently on beta 24 (nougat). It's the most stable in my opinion.

Its coming along well. They are slowly adding features in. Not sure I like the changes in 8.0 so I personally maybe going back to 7.x
Use PA or Sultanxda LOS 14.1 or Vertex OS if you need a custom rom nothing compares to these in terms of performance/battery and optimizations. Everything else is just adding useless bloat and no optimizations

I wouldnt go around calling others work garbage as that is all a matter of your opinion. As the same could be said from another about PA and all LOS based roms.

Yeah I really liked PA, but I don't really think much can compare to stock in terms of stability. However that is just my opinion.

Cool thanks. I know people feel strongly about their roms of choice and that is good. Let's just keep it civil. The human race is already known for being devided over petty things. Let's not make this one of them.
Yes it does take a lot of time. Just my personal builds take 2 hours to make a single build, that's just building, not adding in and fixing things.

Conclusion about CM11 for Droid Incredible 2

Hi, remaining Droid Incredible 2 community! I'm building CM11 for the Droid Incredible 2! I'm doing this because I have a one and it's kind of useless with Android Gingerbread. My current status is downloading the files from the repository. I plan on using ChillyBean's KitKat drivers here and pretty much leaving it at that. If there are any problems I'll see what I can do about them. A lot of people have already done this, but they used Dev-Host and as many reading this may already know, this happened https://www.xda-developers.com/xda-devhost/. So, I'm doing this! I'm going to make sure that this file is always available to anyone who may want it after I've finished. No promises though. I'm open to suggestions and am excited to be working with this wonderful community!
I'm currently using:
[GUIDE] How to Setup Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Xenial Xerus for Compiling Android ROMs
[GUIDE][COMPLETE] Android ROM Development From Source To End
[Updated] Build CM from Source (will add more roms soon)
UPDATE 2023:
I could not get it to work and gave up
My phone for some reason would not give me the token that the HTCDev website needed, and my limited knowledge of Android and the old nature of the device was difficult to work around as you'd need an old operating system and old compiling software. I also really don't have time.
Found this tho: https://www.evervolv.com/devices/vivow
