There hasn't been an update to try either way yet, I think PA Topaz 1 just came out for the 7T a few weeks ago. I plan on trying OTA first, if possible - that went smoothly with the one update I got while (briefly) running LineageOS 20.

Not sure if you're rooted with Magisk or not, but if so, just uninstall Magisk from Magisk Manager (Restore Images, don't reboot), download and install the OTA update (don't reboot), then go back to Magisk Manager, install Magisk to alternate slot, and let it reboot (important to reboot from here, as reboot elsewhere won't change active slot, I learned the hard way once).

Unless something goes very wrong, the next update would be intended to go out with the next release wave. Not sure when that is, but I wouldn't communicate that anyway

We did just merge the March security patch, aka QPR2 and are still ironing things out with it. We'll probably release with the April SPL.

Hi there, it's been years since I flashed a ROM. How exactly do I run payload dumper? Do I need Python installed?
[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] hanzxdani:
Can i charge while using otg? I like using my razer kishi while commuting ... Realy would like to know before switching over
[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] jabennett:
I wouldn't consider this authoritative, but in my quick testing just now, no.

I tried two different USB hubs, with both a mouse and flash drive. Both devices worked fine with both hubs, both hubs charged the phone with a charger attached, but neither hub would recognize the mouse or flash drive *and* charger at the same time.
[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] ForzCross:
Hi!

First of all thanks for the rom! This is the best thing that happened to my 7t since oos 10.

I wasn't able to flash this rom with recovery obtained via payload dumper (maybe it's because of existing oos 12) so I booted other recovery (PE) and flashed from there. Worked like a charm, hope this will help someone 😊.

And for the rom - brilliant battery life and smoothness, perfect auto-brightness, NFC pay and face-unlock working. Also heating problem went away.

The only issue I found so far is that volume slider won't turn off media volume (or I wasn't able to find setting for this)
[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] shubham412302:
I have been using this rom for over a month and is the only android 13 room with great battery life. Although there are no rom based features it's stable.
[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] h168i:
Is there any way to get rid of the bar at the bottom of the screen that appears when using gesture navigation?

If that is possible, I think Paranoid Android is the most wonderful ROM!
[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] jabennett:
If you're rooted, this Magisk module will do it:

There's a few features, but we're not a ROM that offers a ton of customization, yeah
[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] N3kowarrior:
After using paranoid android topaz for 3 days.

Things i like:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Amoled screen working fully no glitches with color as when using Lineage OS.

- Charging is noticable faster.

- Battery lasts insane hours. (6-7h)

- When playing Genshin battery usage is leaser than on lineage and phone is almost cold when playing

- Statistics of battery usage works.(by apps)

- Haven't encountered visual glitches or crashing apps.

- Multiple fonts to choose from. (I really love the Urbanist)

- Acces to developer options in launcher

- Passing safety net from the box.

- face unlock (really fast)

- Multiple color modes (display)

- Transcription and google lens working

Things i dont like:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Missing tile for NFC

- Missing separate tiles for DATA and WIFI

- Too much of google apps installed as system (recommend replacing them with lineage os apps from apk mirror)

- Switch for veryfiing identity in apps is for face unlock and fingerprint

- When face unlock active device doesn't show that camera is used (by the green dot in right corner)

- Camera sometimes stays out even when device is unlocked (happens when unlocking by finger print)

- Haven't found a way to hide pill under keyboard or to hid it at all (am using gesture navigation)
[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] h168i:
If the screen brightness is greatly reduced using Extra dim, the fingerprint recognition will not function properly.
[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] jabennett:
FYI, the OTA update process with Magisk I described above (post #48) worked perfectly updating from Topaz 1 to Topaz 2. Exact same procedure as with stock ROM OTAs. 👍
[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] timo_capa:
Was asleep when it was released, but

Topaz 2 is out!
[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] torben5247:
Maybe a noob question, but i am new to paranoid android😬 if unrooted, how to update? Does the built in ota function work? Or do i have to flash the update using pc and sideload the update?
[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] jabennett:
The built-in OTA function works great. The extra steps I described above for rooted phones are simply to revert and restore root before and after the OTA update. If you're unrooted, all you need to do is run the update process itself (in Settings, System, System Update).
[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] N3kowarrior:
Please do something with ota updater it crashes everitime you try to go in other app or when you even change from portrait to landscape mode.
[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] mraihanrnaufal:
ok so, i can't update the rom whether if it's via OTA or manually via recovery mode, always failed to boot to another slot partition.

my device is rooted, so at first i tried to follow the steps from post #48, didn't work. then i tried to manually install the zip via twrp and install magisk, it didn't either. last i tried to do normal OTA updates (preparing the hassle to reroot the device), still no luck lol.

from these steps i assume the problem is the A/B partition. anyone got the same problem like me and able to solve this? my last opt is to clean flash via fastboot but it's too much for me for only updating a rom.
[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] mraihanrnaufal:
but thanks to those partitions i able to go back to previous device state lol, kinda ironic
[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] N3kowarrior:
Try dirty flashing both slots with recovery zip in twrp and dont forget to backup with your favorite backup tool. ( i recommend neo backup).

For rooting again i recomend downloading the fastboot zip and patching the boot file with magisk app and flashing it.

Edit: Maybe if you have something like magisk bootloop saver try removing it before. And try rooting after update.
[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] jabennett:
One thing that burned me the first time I tried an OTA update while being rooted (those steps I laid out in #48, even with stock ROM), was letting the updater perform the reboot, rather than letting Magisk Manager. Not sure if this was your problem, but I figured it's worth repeating: Magisk Manager switches to the alternate (updated) A/B partition, but only when it's allowed to perform the reboot itself. (I suspect the OTA updater *also* switches partitions before rebooting, thereby undoing the switch performed by Magisk re-installation to the alternate slot.)

In your phone's present state (assuming you've already tried manually forcing a boot to A or B), I second N3kowarrior's advice above.
[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] mraihanrnaufal:
it actually is, i tried it when the OTA update via magisk reboot fails me. (still fails tho)

the thing is, idk how. it always automatically flash to the inactive slot (in my case is A). and i kinda scared to directly dirty flash tbh, back then i just do clean flash whenever i update a rom (bcz i frequently planned to clean the storage along with the process lol)
[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] jabennett:
Please clarify:

1. When you say the OTA update "fails," is it the actual update process that's aborting, and if so, with what error message?

2. Or does the OTA update seem to complete successfully, but when you reboot, the update isn't there?

3. If 2., have you confirmed that you're actually booting into the slot (A or B) that was updated? If the update just disappeared after rebooting, I'd assume that the active slot wasn't switched somehow.

P.S. You need to be (at least temporarily) unrooted to apply the OTA update. The steps I laid out in post #48 just let you remove Magisk, apply the OTA update, and then reinstall Magisk all before rebooting, so you don't lose root after you *do* reboot.

If you suspect a problem involving root, you can always uninstall Magisk, let it reboot, and then you should have a clean unrooted system to update via OTA. Just be aware that you'll need to re-root from scratch after doing so that way.
[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] calibermonkey:
Hi, so you just flashed the zip with a custom recovery? I use TWRP right now. That should work?
[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] N3kowarrior:
yes
[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] Vladtdr3:
So am I crazy or pa doesn't offer costumization options anymore ?
[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] mraihanrnaufal:
1. no, i went temporary unroot, update ota, then apply root as in post #48, when i reboot via magisk, it just send me to stock recovery mode (automatically boot again before the device send me to recovery mode)

2. refer to answer no. 1

3. yes, because i installed twrp, but it was showing the stock recovery mode aospa has. i need to boot to fastboot mode to switch slot back to slot B, which is reverting the process (and twrp is there too). when i boot again, it shows update successful, but still in topaz 1

so yeah i assume the problem is not the root, but the slot itself (i use magisk delta)

[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] mraihanrnaufal:
just wanna make sure bcz i just read #1 post again, if i update via fastboot without factory reset (dirty flash?), should it works or would break something after?

*edit: finally bootlooped to recovery, time to flash via fastboot ig

**another edit: after i flash the rom and do factory update, i can freely switch between slots, wth :ROFLMAO:

i think from now on i can update OTA normally, whether via magisk or not

Hi,

Is it necessary to disable modules before following the steps you mentioned to keep root
[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] h168i:
Sorry for the late reply. This Magisk module did not work in my environment.
[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] jabennett:
No, temporarily uninstalling Magisk, installing OTA update (without reboot), then reinstalling Magisk and letting it reboot, should restore root and all your Magisk modules as they were before.
[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] jabennett:
Hmm, can you elaborate on "did not work?" Did it throw some error and fail to install, or just not provide the desired behavior? If the latter, keep in mind there are shell options that can be tweaked in a terminal, documented on the module page.
[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] h168i:
Self solved. Dumbly, I had installed the wrong version. Sorry for the trouble. Thanks for your kind reply!
[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] silentkiller143:
Clicking uninstall in magisk manager, removed magisk and automatically rebooted resulting in complete root removal. I have updated ota and reinstall magisk now but for next time how to temporarily remove magisk
[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] jabennett:
Automatically rebooted? Yikes, sorry! For future reference, you need to uninstall using the Restore Images option, not Complete Uninstall.

Here's a link I found to the process, as documented by topjohnwu himself. I'll also go edit my original post with this clarification.

We'll look into NFC, but no promises. We currently use OnePlus's NFC stack IIRC. Crashes seem inconsistent with other users as the majority don't have issues with it.

> Battery life on topaz 2 was better than topaz 3 for me. Anyone else feels the same?

Weird? Topaz 3 should have an improvement, and I think the majority of users have it. Topaz 2 introduced a regression which was fixed in T3

Still no way to configure behavior of side slider/button.

Other than that best rom i used.

Thank you for adding NFC tile.
[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] timo_capa:
Do you mean Now Playing? Kinda expected, since Now Playing is a Pixel-only feature.

Not sure what you mean - I know there's a bug that makes the device show charging when not plugged in, as example, which I believe is fixed for next build.

No plans to do so.

Weird, I think. NFC shouldn't interfere with WiFi or Data, since they all run on vastly different frequencies. I doubt this is software related, but I might be wrong.

A lot of other ROMs suffer from this and I don't think there's a single proper fix for this :(. It *seems* like an app issue. Topaz 3 includes a fix attempt that I never really believed in

[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] MosesByTheSea:
My current idea was to backup my Oxygen OS 11 with Kali Nethunter+ Nethunter kernel installed, and boot TWRP (I boot it with the adb tools, as I could not install TWRP again to the recovery partition). Afterwards, I would wipe the partitions ( except boot and the data partition, which would have my /sdcard data etc) and install my ParanoidAndroid 13. . After managing to do so successfully, the plan was to make a backup of everything, and then restore either Oxygen OS11/Nethunter or Paranoid Android 13 after backing up the rom of course. While researching the mentioned roms, I saw that updating to Android 12 is needed in order for the correct firmware to be in place. I am concerned that my restored backup of the Kali Nethunter rom would stop working. Do you think this would lead to an issue ?

Hi guys. I wanted to try using this rom and went up and followed the fastboot option instructions (bootloader unlocked). I got to a point where it completed everything and attempted to reboot but seemed I'm still stuck at the fastboot mode. Everytime I turn it off and on back again it just takes me to that screen again. I tried clicking on recovery mode with no luck at all. I am left uncertain where the issue lies. Been 5+ years since I flashed my last phone, so I would really appreciate if anyone could direct me to the right place. I still am scouring through the forums though. I am using OP7T Pro Mclaren Ed(4G). I am using a macbook with homebrew and adb installed in terminal for this, as well.
[OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro Cross Device Kernel D] Renaud.B:
Maybe you should try instaling recovery and then sideload the rom via ADB. Worked well for me.
