ParanoidAndroid is one of the most novel and interesting custom ROMs that you'll find today. Unlike other ROMs that simply add cool goodies to Android, ParanoidAndroid lets you change your smartphone, phablet, or tablet into one of the others. Imagine your phablet running in tablet mode, or your smartphone running in phablet mode. With ParanoidAndroid, you can!

It doesn't stop there! ParanoidAndroid lets you specify which mode you want each of your apps to run in. Your Nexus 4, for example, might look best in "phone" mode, but Gmail may work better for you in "tablet" mode. With ParanoidAndroid, you have the ability to change the layout and display on an app-by-app basis. How does it look? Hit play and let's see!

wow. like this!
but what apps will I be able to buy? phone apps or tablet apps?

[chrizbie]

I miss the old roms they used to look and feel so different from each other

[nuadarstark]

To be fair, "colorfull card menu" is pretty lackluster when it comes to features, so I would say that setting values is pretty necessary. Still love it though :)

[JForney]

I think that extra 48 pixels on the Nexus 4 make it a little off. It looks much more uniform on the One X

[jsjsjs]

there are so many roms i really don't know which one to choose. Which rom gives the best performance?

[oreog]

I would suggest to use 'launch' to change total UI instead of interface which only changes workspace/stock launcher and systemui dpi but not the size. :3

[ImmenseGTi]

You shouldve mentioned the PIE feature and Expanded Desktop Mode.

[BonafideBril]

I agree. It seems like he rushed to get the video out without knowing much about the ROM. It was apparent when he didnt change the dpi when he was in tablet and phablet mode to make the notification area actually fit the screen properly. Although Im running an earlier version of PA on my phone, the version he has does not look any different or harder to operate. Nonetheless Ilike the vid because its my fav. custom ROM

[PrayingPanda]

i have this tablet setup on my a few years now

Hidden navigation keys in expanded desktop. Swipe up and get a popup like the browser's one.

[nickditommaso]

What's the difference between the "DPI" and "p" settings?

[mrot]

Hey bro you dint show the per app color setting, and pie controls

[jangelsb]

What does Extended Mode with Pie do? :D

[dammitjohnny]

I'm running PA 3.6 on my note 2, is there anyway I can hide the soft keys while on tablet mode?

[outtlaw]

does paranoid andriod make our device run slower

[Vulcan]

I couldn't get YouTube to display in tablet mode no matter what combos I tried.

Navigation glow color is bugges or just done wrong, there needs to be one for status icons i.e. wifi and signal, and another just for the navigation buttons.

I haven't found any way to switch users.

[aseercte]

You need to change the dpi so your clock proply

[JosephAKASkye]

First thing I think of when I see this is Radiohead.

[heyMikachu]

Somebody should teach him 'help' menu of this rom before taking a review

[JosephAKASkye]

I would use this for the Nexus 7, not the Nexus 4.
