[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] GuestK008:
We’re really excited to announce that we are releasing our Nougat flavour of Paranoid Android. We have a lot in store - with a mix of both features & improvements.

First & foremost, we have moved our code base to be fully CAF based. This brings many improvements to your device. The key improvement here is that Qualcomm hardware is better tuned on the CAF base and with our additional optimisations we can provide a smooth and fluid user experience that will let you enjoy using your device without any lags.

On first launch you’ll notice a clean setup with a beautiful wallpaper from Hampus Olsson who’s teamed up with us again and created several beautiful pieces of artwork. For those of you who don’t know, Hampus is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work stands itself and we’re glad to have him onboard. We have also added several new features and made improvements to the UI of the system that we believe would enhance the overall experience.

Pie

We’ve been working hard on redesigning this key feature of our portfolio and we’re really happy with how it has turned out. The whole design has been reworked and it fits in well with the overall feel of Google’s Material Design. This gives you the opportunity to use more gesture based control for navigating, rather than using the standard Navigation Bar at the bottom of your screen. Expect improvements and additions in the future.

Color Engine

We’re proud to announce our newest feature - Color Engine. Color Engine allows you to seamlessly change the colors of your device to be in Light, Dark (Pixel) and Black modes with a variety of accent colors to choose from. This makes changing the theme of your device really quick without having to install any extra packages on your device.

Major features:

- Reworked Pie

- Color engine

- Immersive mode

- Buttons customization (including navigation bar)

- On the spot controls (OTS)

Minor features:

- SafetyNet Compatibility

- Battery/Notification LED control

- Recent tasks locking

- Battery icon customization

- Google now page in default launcher

- Substratum (OMS) support (Color engine will be deactivated if you use Substratum)

- Quick pulldown

- Various performance and battery improvements

- Display Burn-in protection (for OLED screens)

- More to explore :)

Device specific features for OP3(T) (List is being updated):

- Oneplus 3(T) custom camera HAL: Resulting in better picture quality than OEM.

- Implemented custom picture background processing leading to very fast shutter speed (OnePlus 3(T) specific)
