Cheers to all of the 'ElixirTeam' who made this ROM possible, Its Smooth, Stable and I really love the colorful UI , has no glitches of any kind as yet for the past 2 days that I am using it on my Pixel 3 as a daily driver.
I installed this ROM after using Evolution X 7.6.2 as my daily driver, battery life is far better than Evolution and i love the customizations. My light Pixel 3 feels as fresh as any other newer, heavier and beefy Pixel's.
I would like to mention, if it may be of help to anyone, i don't use any kind of messenger's like whatsapp, telegram, signal etc.. I use Google 'Messages' instead,
I was not able to register my number in the Enable chat features in the 'Messages'
settings. After googling around, found that the absence of 'Carrier Services' can be the culprit and it indeed was, after installing it from the Playstore, i was able to make the enable chat feature work.
I installed a modded Gcam apk and the camera also works great.
Coming from Evolution, only two things I miss in this ROM are the 'colored' app notification icons and mainly the pixel parts section in Evolution where there was a option to boost the 'Speaker' and 'Mic' Volume, which was really magical because it boosted the volume of the down speaker for notifications/alarm and the mic while voice communication without any distortion and there is no rooting involved to install any magisk module like viper to boost the volume, which i was never able to make it work anyways..
Pixel 3 has that notorious low 'notification' and 'alarm' volume issue, because it uses only the down speaker for those and that to at a really low volume which sadly was never resolved by Google.
Sincere request to the Elixir Team, if you can incorporate the colored icons in the ROM and volume boost option in Pixel Parts section or include the same in the Essence Section of this ROM in the near future updates, if not the colored icons feature atleast the volume boost option is a must and i am pretty sure, each and every person who installs this ROM will appreciate, which will be a real 'Elixir' for that frustrating 'low volume' issue of Pixel 3, I will never feel the need to install any other ROM ever again.
Please keep up the good work...thanks a ton.

Mobile data without network connection. Mobile data is frozen in GSM.

I've been using it for a day now. The automatic color theming comes up with some interesting colors, but it somehow works. Transitions and graphics performance in general are very snappy. Hard to say what battery life is like after using for just one day, but it seems decent. The included music app is nice.
Things I found that don't work: Google Camera, Squeeze for Assistant, and WiFi calling.
I don't like that it replaced the existing recovery partition.
It's a very responsive and stable ROM.

New ROM! Shall give it a try and report back! Thanks for your hard work

alright! another one!

Used Mokee on Mi A1. It was pretty good. Almost identical to LOS

Nice compilation ! I really like the way the notch handling is done. Still way to go to test it further but the early feel is awesome.

Does it have pie gesture control like in resurrection remix or msm-extended?

Nope ! It just has the basic AOSP Swipe up on Home button gesture.

@ronks888 Just flashed the ROM. In love with it :highfive: Thank you for building. I guess this is going to be my daily driver for a while. Please continue to provide updates and also wish it becomes official soon.
P.S. Jio network doesn't have APN on the first boot and had to add manually (just letting it know here in case someone is flashing)

Thanks for Sharing

Hi, can you please let me know a few of things since you are already on this ROM.
1. SeLinux policy (Permissive or Enforcing).
2. Battery life.
3. Navbar vibration intensity (whether too high like LOS).
4. Status bar notification compatibility (whether dot or i on gets out of the notch line).
5. Any random reboots (mostly when device is in idle).
6. Any performance issue such as occasional lag or freeze (mainly when performing heavy task or gaming).
7. Auto brightness (whether stable or fluctuates too much).
8. Whether ctsPtofile gets passed on Magisk or need additional magisk module for that.
9. Last but not the least, how is the touch response (I'm sure you know what I am talking about).
Thank you for taking your time to read and answer.

1. Actually I can't find SELinux policy (yeah it's very strange for me)
2. Battery life is very good. Probably due to the Mokee kernel
3. Vibration is perfect. I'd say medium intense comparing to those high intensity and low intensity in other ROMs
4. Notifications get a dot on both the sides
(However there still needs to be customisation of battery style and usage of 4G instead of LTE - @ronks888)
5. No random freezes or reboots at all. (I know how it is because I had been testing ROMs and I had random reboot in AOSiP and random freezes in test build of official Citrus CAF)
6. No performance issue at all. I'm not a gamer so I can't comment on the gaming performance at all. But all apps load quick and fast and switching b/w recents was smooth
7. Auto brightness is very stable
8. CtsProfile will never get passed on Magisk V18 . Check the below tweet quote
https://twitter.com/topjohnwu/status/1072812881232715776?s=19
9. I am on the latest vendor 8.12.10 and it's all fine for me. (8.12.7 was buggy and I literally went back to 8.11.15 )
Overall , there's couple of UI only work that needs to be done like battery style and 4G icon. It's all those status bar options.
Rest everything is very nice. I'm finally sticking to this ROM for quite sometime

@ronks888 The status bar icons (battery,wifi etc) on the lockscreen need to aligned like the Home screen status bar icons. The lockscreen status bar icons appear to be pushed too much towards the edge. Rest so far so good. The rom is serving me excellent battery life with no UI lags and is very lightweight and brisk to use.

Strange! I'm on NOS (it's still in BETA) with Magisk 18.0 and ctsProfile passes without needing to flash any magisk module.
Anyway, I will try Mokee tomorrow along with miui stable pie (stock & EU) and let see which one suits my taste.

This rom has framework boost implemented?

@ronks888 Thank you for the update. The new build is now aesthetically very nice with the new DPI values. Especially notch.. My only request is to add battery styles. Otherwise I'm satisfied and using it now . More snappier now.

The way i do it is to port out the maximum of the Pixel 4 XL Firmwares actually. That could give us the Option to use the native Pixel 4 XL App from the Play Store if all goes right. So no need for a GCam Mod.
But for now should any GCAM Version work (worse or better) if there is any. I wasn't able to get any 6.X or 7.X Cam to work no matter what i did. But well, i never did a GCAM Mod by myself so dunno how hard that would be...

Oh, that sound amazing, when this project will be in phase beta, I'm installing in my device. Please, when gcam works in your SOM, update the post, you could have a lot of downloads.

I'm going to follow this project, waiting for more advanced versions to start testing your kitchen

Actually i had hard Times caused by a lack of a Windows PC, but i just hacked My Chromebook and installed Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on it. It's all a bit different but it will do the Job now...
Think i will release a first stable Version of My Work next week... Will use the Weekend for Testing and fixing everything

BETA1 uploading... Reduced to the minimum of my content to solve all bugs. Audio and Performance is improved besides many other optimizations and additions. More to come... Enjoy the Audio Quality <3

Thanks for this!! Is the audio and performance comparable to the stock software or is there still room for improvement? ?? Can we install gcam now??
Please, describes the audio enhancements.

It is what i always did. Adding and optimizing Configuration Entries from all possible android Devices step by step. I'm on around 400 from 1200 Lines currently. I enabled a lot of stuff already but a lot of System Content that is related to some entries is missing actually due to Bugs. I'm taking focus on PHHs AOSP GSI with GApps right now which gives the best Results for Me with the actual SOM Tests of BETA2. The Sound is crazy loud and strong. YouTube plays 4K HDR 60FPS Videos just fine with original YouTube app and the Audio Input and Call Quality should also be better for everyone. There are also Hardware related optimizations and enhancements for the Display, Camera and other Sensors...
You can see all changes on GitHub combined with Googling all the stuff to find out what it does and is for (Mostly). I'm by the way the only Person around the World who has found, combined, documented and tested that many Configs for Android. A lot of little common Tweaks in the last Years are coming from My sharings.
BR
Edit: The Audio Output Quality isn't fully improved yet but i would say it's beyond Stock in terms of quality (even without Dolby). It's with Xperia OS just to generic from SONY without any Love in the Details. Stock was fine compared to a Stock iPhone but there is a lot more possible...

Looks like i've optimized and improved the Cameras a lot. I have just enabled some CameraAPI2 Functions that are non available on Stock. 4K 60FPS Videos are also no Problem anymore using Open Camera from the best Camera Devolper so far (Open Camera can do anything that Android is able to). Only side effect is actuall that the Devices are getting really hot while playing Media. But think that will be fixed in the Final BETA2...
Edit: Display Color Calibration is also optimized and working on GSIs now including HDR functionality...

https://youtu.be/sFTvncOpHDk
Bit quiet ?

Will be keen to see this progress for the Xperia 1 ii

BETA2 coming. Fixed all Bugs on Stock. Optimized a lot under the hood. Added Audio functions such as Monitor Rotation (Channels change on base of the actual rotation state), Google Pixel UI with Black Dark Mode, Audio Recorder, Pixel Launcher, Theme Manager and so on. Hope You will enjoy it! A Video Preview is also incoming!
(PS: Please avoid using the Gesture Navigation since it's broken with the Pixel Launcher. QuickSwitch for Magisk may fix that, or you can try to install a third Launcher from the Play Store. Sorry for that!)

It's what i started on the Nexus 6 and what others started also doing. ROMs without including basic Firmware Parts that are needed to run the System. Or how i call them since i started with the actual Project. SOM (Systemless on Memory). Since all changes can be reverted with the flashing of the same Zip which was used to install it, thanks to the Magisk Module Logic. Reboot and You are on Stock again. Same for Updates. Just go into Magisk, select the new Module and the rest is Magic... Haven't seen such an advanced Zip on the Web anywhere else so i think it's great to be an Xperia User actually

That's so cool to hear! I currently have a Oneplus 7 Pro, though for many reasons the Xperia 1 ii has enticed me to my first ever Sony device.... and I can't wait. It looks a solid piece of hardware (screen, front speakers, notification light, slim design, cameras, wireless charging etc) and so I am super excited to load a custom rom on it.
So if my understanding is correct, is MARS_SOM essentially a magisk module that is loaded and to revert back to stock, simply disabled?
I love the sound of this, as it keeps all stock features/stability yet adds so much enhancement and tweaks to it!

Not always upgrading BL and CP will increase your mobile data speed. It still highly depends on your real mobile data signal.

Thanks

Really nice rom! Smooth and close to stock. However, when listening to YouTube Music, the phone gets quite warm. Is there a way to change the CPU governor, or something?

By far my favourite Rom to date. I am however having an issue with the Google assistant. When screen is off and I say hey Google or OK Google it does nothing. I have to physically have the screen on for it to work which when driving in my job with my hands free is not ideal and means I have to pull over to make a call rather than speak to my ear piece. Please could you look into this as it definitely worked before. I'm running the latest version. Thank you again for this amazing Rom.

Has anyone noticed that the brightness level of the ROM isn't calibrated that well? Im already on mid level and the brightness is still low compared to stock and other ROMs.

How to show battery percentage in the status bar ?
Thats a very underrated feature that this ROM is missing I guess. Anyone found it ? I feel like when multitasking (browsing and playing music in the background) the phone gets heated up a lot. Maybe CPU is not tuned properly ?
Everything else is super smooth, best ROM so far.
Feedbacks after a day of use.

Check the Statusbar section of the Essence menu in the Settings

Any eta for 1.7? Other devices has already got it.

Does this ROM support the VoWiFi?
The quality of the mobile communication is very bad in my area, so WiFi calling function is very important for me.

Thank you very much for this build!
Everything works great for me, incredibly smooth UI, even features like high brightness or DC dimming are present here! Very good vibration.
I have just one question: the display image corners are much more rounded than on any other rom - looks a bit strange on this phone... will this feature remain in future builds?
Edit: found out not correct color adjustment in Settings -> display -> colors.
Natural looks like saturated, boosted like saturated+boosted, adaptive is like... I don't know, just boosted?

Hello, glad my build suits you good. I fixed corner padding and will release with next build. About color calibration maybe it still stays like that.. My tree has more saturated color calibration than other tress.

We are very excited to announce the release 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.
Notice
We kindly ask all of you that are in a position to donate anything, to help and support us so we can provide better and faster build releases, as well as increase the download speed of our servers, all looking for your enjoyment.

Let the party begin

Ohhh finally！
Though considering I have Japan model, I guess I will lose the access to felica. But I can cope with that I guess. Thanks!

Are special functions like "zentouch" working on this rom?

unable to install this on my Zf9. Bootloader is unlocked. I can get into Fastbootd, but the device itself isnt recognized unless i update the drivers in device manager. I have to update it EVERY time the phone goes into fastbootd. Just backing out and back in again makes it unrecognizable by the PC.
Updating it allows "Fastboot devices" to see it. However typing Fastboot -w just gives me "Erase successful, but not automatically formatting. Cant determine partition type" and then also "FAILED (remote:Invalid partition)" for both userdata and cache. Flashing the recovery after this just gives me:
"Writing "recovery""
"FAILED (remote: no such file or directory)"
What the hell is going on? Tried on 2 different PCs and still the same.

A first right there! The first ever custom ROM running on the 8+ Gen 1!

Do you use a USB-C to USB-C cable? If yes, try USB-A to USB-C

Anyone tried this? Wondering if Google Wallet works as I had issues with root.

I have it installed, though the ROM seems to have difficulties connecting to Google services. At the moment, I still have no connection.
Really smooth, though! Loving how fluid it all is.

Has anyone tried using a Bluetooth LE Audio device with this ROM? I hear on Reddit that the Zenfone 9 does not support LC3 on its stock ROM, and that concerns me.
If that's the case, does Aptx Adaptive (not to be confused with Aptx or Aptx HD) work on this ROM?
https://www.reddit.com/r/zenfone/comments/10guooa

UPDATE: While I was not able to get the Setup to connect to Google services, I was able to connect to Google services after the fact and download apps. A minor inconvenience for me, but I think it's worth addressing for others.

First big thanks to @Androbots and the whole team
Tested it for a couple of days now, rom really has daily driver potential, when the devs keep working on it.
Pros:
- Super smooth
- feels pretty pixel like
- colors in camera look better (especially night mode feels better to me)
- Bluetooth works with all my devices
- no crashes or other big issues so far
Cons/issues:
- (most annoying) when selecting text, the copy, search,... Menu doesn't always (actually basically never) appear
- after being in landscape (game), after turning screen off/on touch controls seem to be in portrait (90 degree flipped)
- couldn't find double tab 2 wake (maybe I missed it?)
- runs into thermal throttling way earlier then stock, even with performance mode enabled
- sound is a bit worth, but that was to be expected
- no slow motion in camera, no idea about the other modi, I rarely use the cam

My pc nor laptop doesnt have any type C ports. Been using a usb A to C cable. I know it works because ADB finds my phone AND fastboot if i install the fastboot drivers.

UPDATE2: After having it installed for around five days, the active usage of the phone seems to have improved versus the stock OS (according to Accubattery): Screen on Rate is 9-10% per hour vs >10% per hour on stock. However, during sleep mode there seems to be something draining it; Screen off rate is 1-2% per hour. This is much higher than it is for stock, which is routinely at the 0.6-1% range.
While it may depend on what apps are installed, services active, etc., I'm comparing most of the same apps between stock and Topaz Alpha 1. Topaz, due to having to manually install everything, has fewer apps due to me just not having gotten around to getting them all yet.

1. Always show time and info seems not working
2. No tap2wake
3. Built-in Chrome browser crash (fix after update)
4. Cannot install 32-bit only APPs (I know but still have to use some)
5. Cannot remove Google account after login (shows not allowed by admin)
6. Built-in camera APP too minimal (I know there is no GCam for it yet, so I suggest switching to Asus stock camera APP)
7. The vibrations feel awful, it has a Linear Resonant Actuator, but now feels like a Rotating Mass.
8. Wrong device requirement when flashing (require taro)
9. Flashing fastboot option failed (can't switch to slot B, odm_b partition not exist, etc.)
10. Battery drained 1.3% per hour when screen off (I personally think this is much)

Are there any build instructions?

Thank you for the feedback. Coming to your issues:
- Haven't faced this one
- Intended AOSP behavior
- Yet to be implemented
- That's due to the differences between thermal implementations in stock vs. pa
- Speakers same as above ^
- GCam Go is supposed to be minimal, I'll pin the GCam I use in OP

I am still trying to figure out what's causing the idle drain. Better active drain should be expected since the kernel is free of thousands of lines/second worth of debug prints that were enabled for some reason on stock and is also mostly free of debug drivers that tend to regress both performance and battery life.
New update will be seeded once qpr2 (March Feature Drop) is merged into source.

I have a build ready with April patches and lots of updates! Anyone willing to test? I can DM them a build, although more than likely you will have to clean flash it. Thanks!
