The list may include distributions that come preinstalled on a device (stock ROM) or modifications of them. Firmware hacks usually take advantage of the firmware update facility on many devices to install or run themselves.

• A ROM in terms of the Android OS is the OS interface, including apps and firmware that have been loaded into the read-only memory of the device.
• Note that rooting your Android phone will void its warranty.
• As Flow notes, customizations may include a custom theme, launcher, and default apps like HTC Sense does.

Once drivers are installed or updated, it is highly recommended that you restart your computer. There is one direct and most effective solution for both – that is to flash the Stock/Official ROM (original firmware) via specific tools.

Not to mention, the huge list of device support– both new and old. At this point, Paranoid Android has added support for a long list of smartphones including Xiaomi, OnePlus, realme, Nothing, Google, and more. It also introduced Topaz, which is based on Android 13 and is available for a host of Android devices. So if you own phones from one of these OEMs, I would highly recommend Paranoid Android to any stock rom other ROM on this list.

• The former will make your device recognizable by the PC in ADB mode.
• Find the specific OEM, device and a working port of this Camera APK by Google from the below list.
• It will also be useful if you encounter bugs or performance-related issues.
• Is there any midrange phone which block Pegasus type malware/bugs.
• In the build.prop editor, add the following command line and save it.
• I have also tried it on several other phones, including those from Xiaomi, Poco, Redmi, OnePlus, and Vivo, and it has worked well on all of them, providing access to all of its features.

Quality isn’t as good as regular GCam, but it works on phones with these limitations. Since there’s no rule that applies to all phones, you need to test them yourself or ask on a thread or group for your phone. For example, the package name for Chrome is com.android.chrome. Users see a friendly name, but Android uses the package name. In most cases, the problem is either an incompatibility between the app and the Android version or a package name conflict.
