Paranoid Android 7.2.1 is here as the latest version of the ROM, which remains based on Google’s Android 7.1.2 Nougat mobile operating system, to implement a few improvements over the previous 7.2.0 release, including three fingers swipe down gesture for screenshots, an updated Paranoid Android browser, better handling of carrier provisioning, as well as Wi-Fi calling and VoLTE improvements. The Paranoid Android 7.2.1 update is also here to squash a few bugs that users reported since the release of Paranoid Android 7.2.0, including issues with tethering, pocket lock media control interaction, sensors, PIE sensitivity, and the launcher layout, as well as to add various performance improvements and other stability fixes and minor UI tweaks and enhancements.
