We are very excited to announce the beta of Paranoid Android Topaz, based on Android 13.
On the first launch, you’ll notice a clean setup with beautiful wallpapers from Hampus Olsson, who teamed up with us again to create several beautiful pieces of artwork. Hampus is a multi-disciplinary artist whose design stands for itself and we’re glad to have him onboard. We also added further UI touches that we believe enhance the overall user experience. You can find all of the Paranoid Android wallpapers and many more in the Abstruct app from the PlayStore.
Our builds are based on the Code Linaro Organization Android base, which is optimized for Qualcomm platforms and has a higher degree of performance, battery life, and functionality compared to the Android Open Source Project platform. The Paranoid Android team and contributors are focusing on squashing existing bugs, and implementing and improving features, performance, and stability. We are dedicated to providing a user experience with the stability that you can expect from stock ROMs with best-in-class performance and features to help you get the most out of your device.

Loads and runs great. Awesome works thanks

Thank you

I get a notification to become a beta tester but after hitting enroll button doesn't go anywhere just same page

Nice surprise. Will definitely try.
A couple of us in the pixel6chat group on telegram, have noticed that running the -w command doesn't wipe everything properly.
I suggest you use the wipe option in recovery mode then flash any custom ROM / image. So flashing sequence would be: Flash Android 13 October build to both slots. Boot into Android once. Wipe in recovery. Flash ROM.
These Instructions go for all Pixel ROMs. A few seconds of preparation just to make sure the experience goes smoothly.
Also, when going through the setup wizard, I'd suggest unchecking Apps and Device Settings (or don't restore anything from Google). At least uncheck device settings and uncheck any system apps if allowed (although A13 has changed a few things in regards to restoring data).

Doea this ROM come with google photos spoofing for unlimited storage? Also does it support OTA updates?

---

I haven't flashed a phone since *maybe* the last of the Nexus series. Things are different, a little more involved than they used to be
Anyway, this runs well so far. Very smooth. My device froze on me a couple of times last night and lasted for a couple of minutes each time. Rebooted with a message saying that "adaptive connectivity services keeps stopping." Turned off adaptive connectivity and haven't had any freezes or reboots since. Will update this post should anything else come up.

Been running Beta 1.1 for a few days now.
Has anyone noticed that either GCam or MWP the capture button becomes greyed out after a second or two and you can't capture an image?
Flip it to front/rear and works again for a second or two.

I'm thinking of biting the bullet, doing a clean flash of Hentai and not restoring any data and starting fresh again.
