The scene modification of Android is growing very rapidly. Just we reported that the team behind CyanogenMod have already applied the patches associated with vulnerability Stagefright, while on Google+ appeared much less optimistic news. Paranoid Android users should look for another project, his life was over.
The case informs on your profile Andre Saddler, who is involved in work on Paranoid Android. His message is very simple, but emphatically telling PA is already dead. The reason for this state of affairs would be, among others, move some developers to the company OnePlus, where they engaged in the work of the system OxygenOS. Although the latest versions Paranoid yet been issued in August, this acquisition had apparently led to a substantial difficult work.
The team would like to work on their projects and interesting features, yet must also adjust to the latest version of Android, and take into account the changes made in the system by Google. In this modification never missed while interesting solutions: the ability to accurately DPI settings, the interface color control, quick gestures (PIE), created for the community parcels Google (gapps), hide the status bar and the navigation buttons or updates installed automatically are just a few of the significant advantages.
PA gave not only a stable base, but above all great opportunities for customization, which also drew other, much smaller projects. Thanks to him we were able to significantly increase the usefulness of the Nexus series devices, because that’s what they were best supported. The modification is still available, but if you will not be updated, it will be difficult to recommend it: the current edition does not have the last patch released by Google, so users should turn to other solutions.
It is unclear how they will look further fate of this modification. It’s open and popular, and the world of such projects does not like a vacuum. It is possible that in view of the situation there will be people who want to further develop the project. It will not be easy, but no one should blame the people that went to OnePlus: at some point, even the best hobby project collides with reality and an empty wallet.
