Paranoid Android is an open-source operating system for smartphones and tablet computers, based on the Android mobile platform.

In September 2015, PC Advisor called it the most famous ROM along with CyanogenMod,[1] and The Economic Times called it the second-largest custom Android ROM in the world with over 200 000 users.[2]

History

Paranoid Android was founded by Paul Henschel.[2]

In February 2015, OnePlus hired a handful of key members from the Paranoid Android team to work on its new OxygenOS.[3] This caused delays to the release of Android 5.1 builds.[4]

In October 2015, Matt Flaming told Android Authority that Paranoid Android's remaining members would go on a hiatus and "hopefully [return] early next year".[5]

Features

According to The Economic Times, the two most notable features of Paranoid Android are the Halo and the Pie.[2]
