Since the primary new feature of Paranoid Android 4.6 Beta 5 "Playful Pitaya" is identified in the title, I'll start by explaining what a Pitaya is. According to Wikipedia, a pitaya is a fruit commonly seen on several varieties of the cactus. It comes in two main varieties, one of which is...

Fresh on the heels of Solid Strawberry, Paranoid Android is continuing its fruity fixation with its fourth 4.6 Beta, "Humble Huckleberry." This beta doesn't introduce anything groundbreaking like its 4.5 and 4.6 Beta 1 predecessors, but it humbly brings some needed performance and stability...

Apparently Wednesday's "Solid Strawberry" Paranoid Android 4.6 Beta 3 release wasn't as solid as expected. There were a couple of issues with the initial builds, and the team has rebuilt the ROMs for the Nexus lineup, the Oppo Find series and the OnePlus One (one of the issues was exclusive to...

The Paranoid Android team is still hard at work polishing its two most, erm, recent features in Dynamic System Bars and the redesigned Recents. While there have unmistakenly been bugs and performance issues, these betas have been a solid experience overall. Paranoid Android 4.6 Beta 3 was posted...

Imagine my surprise when a few hours ago the notification bar on my G2 told me an OTA update was available for Paranoid Android. Verizon G2 users like myself have had to get our updates the traditional way for the weeks I had been using PA: check the unofficial VS980 XDA thread for a new build...

If you've been running Paranoid Android's first 4.6 beta build, you might have experienced some stuttering or other performance drawbacks caused by their brand new (at the time) Dynamic System Bars. The team made some further tweaks to this feature with a view to improving performance with its...

They teased it last week, they tortured you by releasing a third beta with it noticeably absent, they released still another beta that basically fixed the bugs in the third beta. In the wee hours of Tuesday morning, well before sunrise in the U.S. East Coast, they finally released it under a new...

The Paranoid Android team wasn't content merely to tease Dynamic System Bars while many of the team members were away - they announced the fourth beta of PA 4.5 just after 11AM Saturday. Due to being hard at work on their new immersive-centric DSB feature, Saturday's beta consists mostly of...

Another week, another Paranoid Android 4.x feature - over a month after introducing their new look for Recents, they've teased another upcoming feature designed to give you even more of that "immersive" feeling than KitKat already does. The new feature, called "Dynamic System Bars," is designed...

If you're Paranoid yet like living on the edge, it's time to update your Nexus device, Oppo Find 5 and Find 7 or your Unicorn Phone OnePlus One to the latest release. Paranoid Android 4.5 Beta 2 was made available less than two hours prior to this writing, bringing the usual upstream 2014 CM...

The team behind Paranoid Android just doesn't seem to get any rest. Paranoid Android 4.5 beta 1 is already out. It sure didn't take long to move on from the alpha stage - perhaps because even the alpha builds were rather stable. The Recents function received further stability-oriented tweaking...

The CyanDelta Updater app now includes support for Paranoid Android, which means that users of that ROM are now able to have some of the same benefits that CyanogenMod and OmniROM users have, avoiding large file downloads. Instead of having to download the entire ROM, CyanDelta only downloads...

You may know Arz Bhatia by his themes in the Play Store, including the Fi series, the Nue series and his latest project, the Veu series. If you're a close follower of all things Paranoid, you also might know of him as the team's lead designer. I had a chance to chat with him about the direction...

As a Verizon user, it's unfortunate that the most recent Nexus phone I have access to is a Galaxy Nexus, but due to its smaller memory footprint, KitKat and custom ROMs built on KitKat run very well on it. This includes the third Alpha build of Paranoid Android 4.5, on which I've kicked the...

The Paranoid Android released new stable and alpha builds for download early Tuesday morning, the stable build getting a version bump to 4.4.5 and the alpha build coming in its third iteration. At the time of this writing there's no Google+ post to announce the changes made to Paranoid Android...

The developers behind Paranoid Android said last week that we should "expect more awesomeness to come" respecting the overhauled Recents feature of its first PA 4.5 alpha build. They proclaimed late Monday night that the moment has arrived for Alpha 2, in which the new accordion-like Recents...

Early Tuesday morning the fine developers at Paranoid Android teased a new Recents feature that somewhat resembles Android L (but not completely). If you aren't satisfied with merely watching the teaser below, you can try it out for yourself in a newly-released Paranoid Android 4.5 alpha build...
