We are very excited to announce Paranoid Android Topaz, based on Android 13.

On the first launch, you’ll notice a clean setup with beautiful wallpapers from Hampus Olsson, who teamed up with us again to create several beautiful pieces of artwork. 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 enhance the overall user experience. You can find all of the Paranoid Android wallpapers and many more in the Abstruct app from the PlayStore.

Our builds are based on the Code Linaro Organization Android base, which is optimized for Qualcomm platforms and has a higher degree of performance, battery life, and functionality compared to the Android Open Source Project platform. The Paranoid Android team and contributors are focusing on squashing existing bugs, and implementing and improving features, performance, and stability. We are dedicated to providing a user experience with the stability that you can expect from stock ROMs with best-in-class performance and features to help you get the most out of your device.

Notice

We kindly ask all of you that are in a position to donate anything, to help and support us so we can provide better and faster build releases, as well as increase the download speed of our servers, all looking for your enjoyment.

The long awaited release. Can't wait to flash it after work :D

Gotcha, flashed it, perfectly working, thanks again

How can I use "fastboot erase system" for clean system partition?
[Nothing Phone 1] Pho3nX:
Some Screenshots for curious people

1st Feedback, especialy for users want keep N1P Stack Features / Apps, READ BEFORE :

Good points :

+ A13

+ Smooth, really a true Android Pure experience

+ Pixel Lovers you will be happy

+ Beautiful AoD

+ Bluetooth, Dual SIM, Geolocalisation+ working fine

+ NOTHING Camera Working perfectly (but only the v12.0.00.98.03 (first release)]

Bad points :

- No LDAC Audio but also no APTX and others, using apparently AAC by default (don't care in my case, my headset don't using)

- No Glyth for Ringtones/Notifications (Only settings for charging/Battery level)

- Some random visual Glitch / Artifact

- Camera is complete but really basical, there a lot features missing in comparaison N1P Camera Stock (BUT Read in Good points, NOTHING Camera can be installed!)

How to make sure that i have latest firmware on both slots?
[Nothing Phone 1] AntoXik72:
You don't have to, I flashed this on 1.1.3 update, working fine.
[Nothing Phone 1] trepiv:
Dunno if it's a bug or not but fastboot button on website downloads non -image.zip version. Downloaded from telegram and it's all good. Thanks!
[Nothing Phone 1] bariz143:
Awesome build. But far from complete guys. Only flashed it because of A13 😂
[Nothing Phone 1] K4nj:

[Nothing Phone 1] Exodusnick:

[Nothing Phone 1] JKurtz87:

[Nothing Phone 1] :
It's already available
[Nothing Phone 1] Exodusnick:
Is a bug :ROFLMAO:

Problem solved Google Play Services data deleted thereby's reset and then Google Play Services updated via Play Store now comes the message from the system update no longer.👍

If someone is interested: I also tried the connection with my car today, it works perfect. I tried it with Android Auto cable and Android Auto wireless, no problems so far.
[Nothing Phone 1] AdiGurjar:
Bugs I found on PA Alpha 3 for NP1:

1-General Screen flickering

2-Auto brightness is poor

3-Battery life can be improved

Critical bugs:

1-Screen won't wake up at all with power button sometimes when AOD is on, a forced restart is the only workaround. Keeping the AOD off prevents this bug.

2-Excessive screen flickering when typing on low brightness.

3-Call UI is choppy.

Rest the rom is smooth and very responsive, kudos to the devs!
[Nothing Phone 1] MarcoReckless:
Other than some lag in the beginning (probably due to me charging while transferring data, probably causing even more heat and making it throttle), now it's smooth as expected, the only real problem I'm facing is not being able to record videos in chat apps (ex. WhatsApp).
[Nothing Phone 1] Taylorsay:
What about Snapchat? Also are you a tiktok user? My refresh rate is capped at 60 in nothing os with no way to stop it. Is it 120 on PA?
[Nothing Phone 1] MarcoReckless:
PA has a dynamic toggle in the display settings, but I opted for the developer option toggle which always keeps it at 120.

I don't use Snapchat and TikTok so I can't really talk about those.
[Nothing Phone 1] SoulKeeper1994:
Does anyone know how to go back to the original Nothing phone (1) firmware?
[Nothing Phone 1] Taylorsay:
I went back to eaa from another rom. Was a ballache. I found a tutorial from an Indian guy on YouTube. Has to flash some **** in fastboot and the rest in fastbootd I think.
[Nothing Phone 1] gamal001:
Sir,

some apps can detect that the bootloader unlocked, any way to prevent that's without using root?
[Nothing Phone 1] MarcoReckless:
I'm not 100% sure, but that should be the new Play Integrity API, if that's the case you can't really bypass it (at least for now) because it checks the bootloader status.
[Nothing Phone 1] gamal001:
actual one app (government app) when installing and starting run coming message "This application can not run on rooted devices".

the other applications are running okay.
[Nothing Phone 1] MarcoReckless:
I'm aware of that, not all apps have implemented it (I can use my banking apps just fine, they all still use SafetyNet) and not all the apps that have implemented it have the same requirement (you can have MEETS_BASIC_INTEGRITY as a requirement for example and still be able to use the app on a rooted device, as long as the developer doesn't implement the MEETS_STRONG_INTEGRITY requirement you should be good).

I assume you already have the SafetyNex fix and you hid the apps through Magisk? Because I'm able to use all the apps that require SafetyNex just fine, I didn't even need the MagiskHide Props module.
[Nothing Phone 1] SoulKeeper1994:
Can you provide a little more detailed information?
[Nothing Phone 1] Taylorsay:
Honestly no. I spent hours that night trying to just flash whatever I could to get it working again. I must've flashed about 15 times.

I can't remember the video I used but it's possible it could have been the unbrick/downgrade/revert video from 4utech. It has about 500 views. I skimmed through it and it looked like the process I did. I'd start there. Make sure you have the eea version. I think I started on 1.1.3 and did ota after it was all done
[Nothing Phone 1] MarcoReckless:
I found these issues so far:

- Unable to record videos in chat apps (can send them properly if I record them using the system camera)

- The screen doesn't wake up sometimes (I can't wake up the screen unless I tap power twice, this doesn't happen if I use double tap to wake and AOD is already disabled, the power button works properly only shortly after turning it off so it's probably some idle/powersaving thing)

- Special permissions are randomly resetting (from what I've seen this bug is related to Android 13 and not PA itself, many posts report this in the Android 13 beta and it applies only to the special ones such as managing files, I ticked the option to avoid resetting them but it gets ignored, it's not related to reboots but it happens every once in a while)

Other than these ones, the ROM is running properly, I'm looking forward to the beta.

This one and this one are the posts that I've seen where the permission issues was reported.
[Nothing Phone 1] SoulKeeper1994:
Is there no NFC button on the control panel? I use NFC usefully, but I can't set the NFC button in the control panel while using that rom. I always use NFC with Bluetooth - NFC -ON &OFF Please improve!
[Nothing Phone 1] gamal001:
Permission for some application reset, this issue I faced.
[Nothing Phone 1] MarcoReckless:
I'm afraid this is a general Android issue, I'm having the same on stock (1.1.6 A12) and I had the same problem on custom (PA Alpha 3 A13).
[Nothing Phone 1] gamal001:
Did you get this issue with pixyos or ricedroid ?
[Nothing Phone 1] MarcoReckless:
No, but it has been reported on Pixel phones too (especially on Android 13), so it's not related to the ROM, I've done a bit of testing and it's not related to reboots either, it's tied to app updates (not sure which app in particular but it's a system app).
[Nothing Phone 1] RivalTin:
Congrat' for developers, Topaz 3 for Phone (1) is even better than stock OS in my opinion. UDFPS is much faster than stock rom and there are fewer bugs in this custom OS. My special fav' is glyph flashlight wich is a brilliant feature. The only 2 things I wanna see in the future: the stock camera integration (difficult to perform) and the fully working glyph functions. Thank you for your work, guys.
[Nothing Phone 1] SoulKeeper1994:
My phone (1) had wifi issues from the stock rom.

The signal strength comes out normally, but when I actually use Wi-Fi, the speed becomes very, very slow after a while, and each time I had to turn Wi-Fi off and then turn it on again.

(Even after going through this process, the actual Wi-Fi operating time at normal speed did not exceed 1 minute.)

I tried to send A/S, but the distance was too far, and I gave up because there was no answer even when I inquired on the official page.

I've tried all custom roms, and all of them had problems with WiFi, and the only custom rom that my WiFi worked normally was Topaz Alpha 3.

I don't know how the developer solved this problem, or where there is a difference from Topaz Alpha 3 in the case of other custom roms, but I really wanted to tell the developer this.

Thanks to the developers of Topaz Alpha 3.

Without the Topaz Alpha 3, I wouldn't have been able to afford my data bill.
[Nothing Phone 1] drashlex:
For me too, this is the only ROM that solved my WiFi problem
[Nothing Phone 1] flozge:
I get the exact same bugs.
[Nothing Phone 1] SoulKeeper1994:
I just tried it, but the wifi didn't work normally on the first day even with Nothing 1.5 Stockrom, but the wifi works normally from the next day. I'm happy to have one more option for me.
[Nothing Phone 1] m54c1:
on this firmware vibration is the same as on the stock? on the ricedroid it sounds like dzzz-dzzz, very bad
[Nothing Phone 1] Pho3nX:
Same here... Customs Roms suffer same problems because sources are missing for some features (Haptics, Glyph, etc...)
[Nothing Phone 1] kimocoder:
No problem, I got a perfect custom kernel to use with Topaz beta 3.
[Nothing Phone 1] AntoXik72:
Custom kernel?
[Nothing Phone 1] kimocoder:
Yes, it's supports Kali NetHunter, a lot of USB devices, HID, WireGuard, latest Qualcomm CAF merged. And vibration driver adjusted.

DM me on Telegram I'll share the kernel zip to flash in FKM. "kimocoder" at Telegram

I installed the beta 2 via adb sideload, everything worked when I restarted. Is there a way to save the Nothing Phone
[Nothing Phone 1] Treeniks:
Always On Display is a little bugged it seems. When flipping the phone over, the screen does turn off after a few seconds as it should, but it does not turn on by itself after picking it up. I have to wake the phone to get the AOD back. "Tap/Lift to check phone" gestures are off, "Always on Fingerprint" is on and the fingerprint scanner does work even after the AOD turned off, but the fingerprint icon is not shown so I have to guess where to put my finger.

Ciao,

I'm on 1.5.1 NO1 OS on A13.

To flash Paranoid Topaz Beta 1

have I to follow these simple instructions on page 1 of this thread?

Instructions

1 Unlock your bootloader, and in bootloader mode follow the next command:

fastboot update aospa-topaz-alpha-*-image.zip

2 After the reboot, factory reset the device (only required for the first time you flash Paranoid Android)

Thanks, I would not like to brick my NO1... Ciao

Vibration like a stock or has some problem?
[Nothing Phone 1] 33bca:
We hope you are enjoying it! If you want to stay up to date with upcoming glyph changes and features you can always keep an eye on our ParanoidGlyph repo.

You should be able to install it from any NOS version by following the instructions in the first post. If you face any issue while doing so feel free to ask for help in our telegram group.

You are welcome! We tried our best to improve haptics compared to our previous release but its still not on the same level as NOS.

[Nothing Phone 1] motokenny:
Got my nothing phone yesterday and i'm considering this rom.

Could not find any reviews of the stable version yet.

What about anyones experience?

I want to switch over because i don't like the nothing os lockscreen. I prefer much more pixelish version.

Is this a stable daily driver, or should i wait (for better haptics etc)?

Is performance the same or even better in comparison to NOS?

Do banking apps work ootb?

Is flashing a straightforward thing coming from a13 nos?

Would like to hear this from anybody.

Thanks
