NEW YORK: Paranoid Android has launched its first builds of the Android 5.0-based ROM for several Android devices. Carrying Paranoid Android 5.0 Alpha 1 moniker, the latest batch of firmware builds is not for everyone, as it is very likely to include bugs and other issues. If fans are comfortable with the risks involved with using Alpha software, they can head over the Paranoid Android website now to download the Android 5.0 builds.
Changes:
Update the baseline to AOSP Lollipop 5.0.2
Improvements to Heads Up, such as an option to disable heads up interruptions completely
Add Quick Unlock
Extend the power menu
Animate the volume panel in a more material manner
Make it possible to skip songs using volume buttons when the device is locked
Add CM12 Theme Engine
Fix various small annoyances from AOSP
“It’s been a long time, but users finally back and ready to start tasting some lollipops. To start the lollipop journey, users added some goodies to improve AOSP’s state along with some tiny and useful features for a sweat daily use,” Paranoid Android team wrote in a blog post.
The team warns that if users are coming from KitKat, stock or any other ROM, be sure to factory reset their device before applying the Paranoid Android 5.0 Alpha 1. Also, the OnePlus One users need to flash the latest CM nightly before applying the PA ROM.
