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 Paranoid Android 5.1 builds.[4]

In October 2015, team member Matt Flaming told Android Authority that the project would go on hold.[5] In June 2016, the Paranoid Android team announced that they were back with new team members.[6] This coincided with the release of a new version of Paranoid Android, which is based on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, with the May security patch, and includes new customization features.[6] On June 8, 2016, Paranoid Android supported Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6, Nexus 5, Nexus 4, Nexus 7 2013, Nexus 9, OnePlus One, OnePlus 2, and OnePlus X.[7]

Features

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