Paranoid Android 6.0.1 [Xperia Z2]

Sharing you the Good News from PA Team.
We are launching brand spanking fresh. All new features. New team members. New everything and we have made sure that everything that we are releasing has been polished to our best.
The main features and enhancements that you will probably end up noticing are our custom Quick Settings tile reordering functionality, floating window support, immersive mode, the new on-the-spot interface and CM Theme Engine.
Quick Settings tiles can be managed with ease - you can reorder the tiles by simply long pressing them, remove them by dropping them in the trash bin and add them back in from the add panel. The hidden tiles will be out of your way when checking the notifications but will still be usable from the add panel without any hassles if you want to do that all of a sudden.
You can make an application float either by long pressing a notification and tapping the floating button or by tapping the floating button for the application in the recents list. Additionally, you can make peeking (heads-up) notifications open floating windows by enabling that behavior in the "Floating peek" tile.
Those are not the only changes and features we have added. There are a variety of improvements to CAF devices (OnePlus, OPPO and others) which add custom kernels, advanced gesture and buttons control and more to provide a great experience on those devices. Of course we have spent a lot of attention on making all the visual details look right and on making all the functionality work right.
Over the months we have gained a bunch of new team members. We are now ready for all varieties of work - be it low level, aesthetics, user experience, motion design, testing or anything in-between. What we strive for is the best and we are stronger than ever to reach that.
On Paranoid Android 2016 launch we are supporting popular Nexus devices (6P, 5X, 6, 5, 4, 7 2013, 9) and the OnePlus family (One, 2, X and 3) along with some Sony devices. The lineup is this way to make sure we release the best possible experience on all the devices we release for. No compromises, pure greatness.
We highly recommend everyone to use OpenGapps full version (do not use stock). Nexus 6P users need to make sure their vendor partitions are up-to-date (6.0.1). Our Nexus 5X builds come with a prebuilt vendor image so no worries for you folks!

unloked bootloader is necessary
1 copy the zip in the sd card (the rom and the gapps)
2 reboot on recovery (use advance recovery highly recommended twrp)
3 make backup (just in case if anything goes wrong) then make a full wipe (dalvik cache, system, cache and data)
4 flash the rom zip, have done this, flash the gapps
5 then reboot system, it takes some minuts thats all.
good look:good:

Hum... Im getting Error 7 and I cannot find any "assert" line in the "updater-script"... does anyone know how to fix it?

what about camera?

Camera works, and launches quickly. It supports 20MP resolution in 4:3, but only 720P 30FPS video.
Phone handset mode doesn't output audio, but speakerphone works.
NFC is not working.
exFAT support for the SD card seems to have disappeared, so you'll have to be formatted as FAT32.
Recovery disappeared after installing.
Installing the SuperSU zip file after installing pa_sirius-6.0.2-20160731-signed.zip and GApps appears to have failed, which means that I have an unrooted device, no recovery mode, and no way to get either back without going to a factory image.
Other than that, seems smooth.

Can you please post some picture samples from front and back cam?
Thanks

Any reviews?

Rom is smooth. Has some useful features such as the long press quick settings management. I like the battery icon (lol, yeah). otherwise looks like AOSP except for CMTE. Camera is better than all custom MM roms I have tried but picture quality is still poor. Focus works though which is a plus. Can definitely be daily driver for people who aren't big on camera quality.

Google Camera

Dear All,
I've gone through various threads just to realize that there's not one APK for Google camera which works perfectly on One Plus 5.
I'd greatly appreciate if anyone here can help me with a perfectly working GC APK link.
Note: I'm running my OP 5 on stock ROM.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I recomend this apk: LINK

Sorry the last link it's wrong.
Correct link: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7beta-test-9.apk
GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7beta-test-9.apk
For me its the best version of all apks and dont need any configuration only you need install .

None work flawlessly, and unless OP makes some changes it won't be possible to have a fully functional GCam without system changes (root or at least an unlocked bootloader would be required). The camera library files from OP are 'customized' in ways that make them not fully compatible with the Camera2 API that GCam depends on. Devs here have been working hard to band-aid it, but only so much can be done by modding the GCam apk to work around the libs. Changing the libs to match GCams needs currently breaks compatibility with OP features (Face Unlock specifically). The ideal for us as users is that OP updates the libs to support full Camera2 and also keeps their own propriety additions in place so that everything can work.

Sorry, front camera in portrait mode or HDR+ make an horrible pink images with lines.
Really frustrated.
Back camera with portrait and HDR+ works fine; the problem starts with frontal camera
I'm the only?

The modded GCam app is horrible, portrait mode not working, slow motion as well and the image quality is worse

Check this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76543768&postcount=2927
If you install the magisk/twrp mod for front cam and hdr+ fix with pixel2mod 7beta9 (file name GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7.9.apk), you actually have an almost fully working (and arguably better than oos) camera app. Only thing remains missing is the slowmo and 60fps video modes, which you can still achieve using the oos camera.

Google Camera MOD - any available?

I'm trying to install Google Camera. So far, I've tried BSG versions , a few of them, all 32 bit of course (made for Android 6+). You can finde the list at celsoazevedo website, filter for BSG and look up for 3.2
None of them has worked, I can install the app, I can run it, I can record video but when I switch to camera mode I only see a black window and it freezes. I can even access the settings.
What can I do? Is it because S5 doesn't have Camera2 API? Is there a solution? I'd really like to use Gcam, even if it'd be a super old version, cause the stock camera of Resurrection Remix ROM is really bad
Thank you

You need to post this in the troubleshooting thread.

This old version will work - see attachment Unzip first
However I would try something like open camera from the playstore

Thank you so much man, it's working
I wanted to try Gcam cause everyone says it's really good. I know the latest versions are much much better because of many factors, but I guess this old version is still better than the custom ROM stock ones.
I'll also try open camera, thanks

Works on G900F / G900FD ?

Best stable ROM?

Hi all,
Sorry, I never know whether I should post this kind of thing in the General section or Troubleshooting...
I'm looking for up-to-date advice. What, in your opinion, is the most stable and smooth custom rom available. I'm looking for something as recent as possible, preferably Nougat +, but could be MM if necessary.
The phone is going to be used by my mother-in-law so doesn't need any fancy customization, just reliability and performance.
Thanks!! :good:

If you want something really stable with excellent camera go for munjenis nougat rom

Thanks for that. I presume I can find that rom on xda?
--------------
Is it this Lineage rom?:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/development/rom-t3657384

Yup thats it

I used munjenis los 14.1 and switched to AICP 13.1 Oreo. It has up to date patches and is in my opinion currently the best up to date rom. Camera is also fine for me.

hi all! i tried oreo yesterday and all of google (esp. play store & play services) didn't work. tried older versions via apk but no success. without play store makes no sense. anyone an idea why it works for jho55 but not for me (d5503)? and jho55, why did you switch; only for newer version or other reasons? could you give me d/l link to the exact aicp rom u used? at aicp rom it says that there is an issue with oreo on z1c and video recording; does that work on your device? thx&greets, volkbaad
EDIT: found out myself now that i need gapps, too in order to take benefit of google. i work a lot on pc's but up to now not on android, esp. custom roms. it's a bit confusing at first sight; but i'm learning...

It is very important that you follow the instructions posted in the thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/so...development/rom-aicp-13-1-o8-1-amami-t3755554
I am using the rom because I want to have the newest security updates, a fresh android, root access(adblock, firewall). Video recording is working for me.

IT WORKS!!!
At first try I used GApps "super" (14.5.81; 900 MB) and guess I didn't clear all cache and data. This obviously ended up in a mess with old Google Play files and new OS. Second time I cleared system, data, cache and dalvik cache before flashing new ROM, rebooted into normal OS and back into (TWRP) recovery before I flashed GApps "micro" (14.8.xx; 300 MB). "Super" and "mini" had some apps which were unfunctional; and if included in package you cannot uninstall and manually reinstall them, so smaller GApps version is safer.
This time the new install became functional w/o any problem. There was even no need to search and installe older version of GApps, as reported elsewhere.
Maybe this is helpful for other Z1C owners. In the thread mentioned above seemingly not every necessary detail is mentioned.

I think the instructions are pretty straight forward from there it says "How to flash:".

I'm not decided yet. For me it's either AICP 13.1 (oreo) or 115ek's LineageOS 15.1 (Oreo). Both are very stable and suitable for every day useage. And they are maintained in regards to security updates
Pro AICP: some really nice features and add-ons (e.g. theming, nice recent apps solutions, extended phone settings and customizations etc.). Together with some optimzing apps (LSpeed, SysConfigPatcher) battery consumption is ok
Pro LOS 15.1: in my opinion a tad faster and and more efficient in reagrds to battery consumption; rather reduced, but I kind of like that
munjeni's LOS version is great (had that running for over a year) but a bit aged now

I've had LOS 14.1 installed for a while and it seems pretty good, however it seems to have some significant bugs. The big one is that Google Duo doesn't work properly- the mic doesn't work so calls are pointless. Dues anyone else have this problem? Or can anyone give me a ROM where Duo definitely works?
Mic volume in general is pretty quiet.

[Q] Stock Cam on LineageOS 16

Hi,
I try to find a way, where I could install the Stock Cam from OnePlus5 to my LineageOS. I 'm not sure, but I think this must include also some Libs?
For the moment I only find articles for GCam or others, but the Stock Cam was not findable for me. So I would like to ask, if someone has experiances with that, or maybe put me to the link where it is explained (as I was maybe to tumb to find it )
Thanks in Advance!

As no Answers, I research further, and give here some infos, if others search for that also:
- It is possible to install the stock cam without additional things (like root or whatever) by downloading it from apkmirror
- link: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/oneplus-ltd/oneplus-camera
- take care, it seems on OnePlus 5 not all versions running properly. The last real working version under Lineage OS 16 for me was 3.4.25
- I tested several versions of 3.8, where are on each app other problems (app crash, not choosable options, and so on)
- The link to standart Gallery is not working (I expect that the cam app assumes to open the oneplus galery, but I have others)
- you can test Versions by starting in a low version, then you can update to newer versions. The other direction (starting with high version, and downgrade is only possible by deinstalling the newer version).
- If I foud a stable 3.8-Version I will notice it here (3.5, 3.6, 3.7 are not on apkmirror, I assume that the big version-change is related to also other hardware needs for the cam, so this will cause maybe the problems...)
BR
MP

similar story and solution here:
OP Camera version 3.0.43 (I may try the suggested v 3.4.25, if I find time)
OP Gallery version 3.8.21
Do you have any gapps installed?

Yes, I'm bad and use the most of Gapps
Anyway, maybe the point that 3.8 does not work could be related to Cam Framework which maybe must also updated... but on apk mirror only V1 is avalible... But I'm afraid to change something there on the Rom included stuff, as I need my phone running...
