Paranoid Android returns with Oreo builds, transparency pledge
June 09, 2025
Paranoid Android has announced its first-everAndroid Oreobuilds in a post onGoogle Plus. Moderator Espen Flagtvedt Olsen delivered the news yesterday alongside an update on the current status of the Paranoid Android ROM project (viaAndroid Police).
“We haven’t been transparent enough with the community and it’s time to change that […] we are going to be transparent about what is happening and keep you up to date about potential development cycles, respective news and more,” read the post, seemingly penned by the core team.
Back in May, the Paranoid Android developers announced they’d fallen on hard times and were seeking funding from the community. Judging by today’s news, however, it seems the developers are getting back on track.
The Paranoid Android folks said they have a new website in the works (they’ve uploaded the latest builds elsewhere for the time being) and are busy working in three main areas: getting their features bug free, finalizing device tree work for initial release, and preparing to open up all sources on GitHub.
Meanwhile, they are also seeking developers “interested in helping us with development of [their] features and improving [their] UI.” Visit thecommunity page for more.
