Google+ post regarding Paranoid Android 7.2.3 release

https://plus.google.com/+AlexNDS/posts/Mjr1XmEge1G

Hello everyone!

Recently we have been reported that there are permanent force closures when enabling immersive mode in latest 7.2.3 release. This issues comes from a Crowdin error, where it should have detected one string as non translatable but instead allowed the translators to edit it, which made some translators to get confused and it broke the build.

A fix is already done and will be pushed shortly to our gerrit and Github. While that we want to apologize for that issue and we will be bringing possibly a hot fix update in the next days to solve those issues. As of now, we do recommend that if any users have or had this issue to use English language or not to use immersive mode if they want to stay on the language they are.

No actions are required from translators, Crowdin has been updated and modified to prevent the issue again.

The languages which have this Immersive Mode FC are:

French
Hindi
Italian
Norwegian
Portuguese
Russian
Swedish
Chinese Simplified
Chinese Traditional

Again, we suggest that if you are running any Paranoid Android 7.2.3 in any of these languages to not try enabling immersive mode, or if PIE wants to be used to switch to English or other language which isn´t included in the above list. Flashing 7.2.1 would be required for disabling immersive mode and flashing 7.2.3 over it in case you enable this option been in a language which is on the list.

We apologize for the issues, we couldn´t notice properly when we tested release builds.

Substratum


We are proud to announce that we have teamed up with the guys at Substratum. We have a few things planned with them that we hope will be beneficial to all our users.


Our main goal is to bring a more seamless theming experience to AOSPA which will allow you to customise the look and feel of your device easily without going through a plethora of menus and options. With our reputation of wanting to release something that is well polished and to a professional standard, we believe that this partnership will provide our users with what they know and trust.


We’re planning to develop an entirely new theming section with the great UI/UX you can come to expect for PA.

Space Oddity

We are now reaching our server capacity. While we are not big fans of monetization and/or asking for donations, but with the all the device support requests and our desire to work on more and more devices, we are having to look at ways to be able to provide continued support.

Currently, we are looking to expand our infrastructure. To do this, we have no other choice but to accept donations/infrastructure contributions.

If you think this is something you could help us with, please contact us by replying below and we’ll reach out to you personally. You can send us a message too if you happen to know anyone on the team.

Sources

Kernel and most platform sources are already online. The rest of platform and the device specific sources will go online within a week from now.

Future

We are currently considering this as our last major update for Nougat and we are shifting our focus to Android Oreo now. If we happen to work on any critical bugs, you can expect to see more updates. Otherwise, we think we’re solid!

Fix compatibility issues with third-party camera apps
Fix front-facing camera crashes in Paranoid Camera
KRACK Vulnerability patches
Various improvements to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity

Funding

In our last release, we mentioned that we are currently struggling to keep up with our outlay for infrastructure and we are looking to you, our users and fans for help.

We are looking for funding to:
Keep our servers up and running.
Have servers available for building and testing of our builds.
Get new devices for development.

There you will be able to report bugs, give tips or get help from other users if needed.

Many of Paranoid Android members, including maintainers, will be chatting around it from time to time.

See you there!

#StayParanoid

A quick update

Firstly, we’d like to thank every one of you for your support; especially the donors who have helped us continue working on the project and therefore keeping it afloat. We couldn’t ask for a better community.

We have heard your cries; we haven’t been transparent enough with the community and it’s time to change that. We’d like to build trust between us and the community. To help accomplish this we are going to be transparent about what is happening and keep you up to date about potential development cycles, respective news and more.

As a start we will soon show off some of the feature concepts we have in the form of concept art videos courtesy of +Espen Flagtvedt Olsen that we want to bring into the ROM, but currently lack the manpower to implement.

Current status

* We are working internally on getting our features bug free
* We are finalising the work on our device trees for our initial release
* We are preparing to push ALL of our sources open on GitHub

Oh and we have a new website! Thanks to our newest member +Andrew Fluck, we’ve been able to design and build the website from ground up, it has been a long time coming.

That being said, for the time being we are unable to access our servers as the server maintainer is currently inactive.Because of that, the new website will not be available, and the builds will be available from another source.
As part of becoming more transparent, we feel we should be making more steps to be including our community in the work that we do. One big thing that we are wanting to focus on is having our sources available for all. This will allow you to help us make Paranoid Android even better!

Furthermore, some of you may know CAF dropped support for Oreo. We managed to get the system in a stable state last December however we weren’t satisfied enough to release due to the lack of feature support and active developers to make the features polished enough for release.


Roll call

To follow on with this we would also like to make a call for anyone who is interested in helping us with development of our features and improving our UI. Currently we are lacking in developers having experience working in framework development, and we feel we need a boost in this area. With having our sources publicly available anyone is free to contribute.


Today

We currently only have builds for Sony to offer. We hope to expand this a bit in the coming days to weeks, but note that we will be primarily focusing on Pie. We will be bringing you things as they come along rather than wait for months and months as we have done.

Please note that the builds are released as is and might have some bugs.

Also do note that there are very specific instructions for the installation this time, so make sure to follow them!


If you have any questions, post them and we will reply as we can.
