The post Paranoid Android’s Android Oreo ROM is here for the OnePlus 3, OnePlus 3T, OnePlus 5, and OnePlus 5T appeared first on BardTech . Many of our readers might remember Paranoid Android . It was once a top contender in the Android ROM scene for many different reasons: Innovative features, a slick user interface, you name it. The ROM lost much of its steam after the Android 4.4 KitKat builds, but they eventually returned with Android 6.0 Marshmallow and later, Android 7.1 Nougat . While they were pretty late to the Android Nougat game compared to competitors like LineageOS , their builds were still really stable and feature-rich. Now AOSPA is back in the game again with Android 8.1 Oreo builds, as we reported previously, and we now have builds for the OnePlus 3 , OnePlus 3T , OnePlus 5 , and OnePlus 5T . We took the builds for a spin, but at this time, there’s not a lot to write home about. The builds are based on the May security patch and the builds are lacking ma...
