By Paranoid Android Quartz 3 Beta Builds for Oneplus 8 & 8Pro.
Android being an open-source platform provides endless possibilities for third-party developers to bring forth new custom ROMs, apps, and other enhancements for Android devices. Paranoid Android is one of the most popular custom ROM options which is known for its style and innovative features.
Last year in October, the Paranoid Android team released some beta builds based on Android 10. Paranoid Android Quartz 3 was released for 8 Xiaomi devices and soon coming up for Oneplus 7 & 7T.
Paranoid Quartz 1 and Quartz 2 are already available for a bunch of phones including the OnePlus 7 Pro, OnePlus 6/6T, 3/3T, OnePlus 5, Xiaomi Mi 9, Mi 6, and Redmi 5.
XDA Recognized Developer ZVNexus and XDA Senior Member sirhc brought Paranoid Android Quartz 3 to the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro. These are the first publicly available AOSP-based custom ROMs for the OnePlus 8 series on XDA Forum.
Users have to keep in mind that the Paranoid Android Quartz 3 pushed out for Oneplus 8 and Oneplus 8Pro by XDA developers are beta builds and there are a few bugs such as fingerprint sensor and brightness, especially on the OnePlus 8 Pro.
These builds are not available on the Paranoid Android official download portal but unified beta builds from the mirrors has been provided by the developers.
