Here is the link for the PA GAPPs package:

Stay Paranoid

Android File Host has the latest GAPPs package for 4.4.x ROMs

HOW TO INSTALL

Don't forget to backup your apps using a backup tool of your choosing.

MORE IMPORTANTLY, DON'T FORGET TO MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP OF YOUR CURRENT ROM!




1. Grab the latest version of Philz Recovery; D2LTE variant here:

Goo.im Downloads - Browsing d2lte



2. BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR CURRENT ROM!



3. Once in Philz Recovery, do a factory reset for installing a new ROM
4. Install the ROM from the directory in which it is stored on your device.
5. Install the GAPPs package.
6. Flash MopedRyder's universal APN fix.
7. ENJOY!

What's working

So far, everything works. 4G, 3G, MMS (and group texting), SMS, Bluetooth, Camera.

Known Bugs

None at this time.

Notes:

Expect big changes in the coming builds. The PA team has already alluded to per app color, as well as the big stuff when Android L source code drops.

PA has an OTA updater. It does work and it will alert you to new nightlies for D2LTE builds. So, keep an eye on it.

@alexizawesome - It does have battery customization options, which can be accessed by touching the battery icon in the upper right under the battery section in settings.

@Piznick64 - Both cameras work, but not with stock Google Camera app. You need to use a third-party camera app.

Click to expand...

Did you do a clean install the first time?

You may want to wipe it clean and reflash the ROM, GAPPs, and APN fix.

I have no issues with service and get strong 4G at boot up.
 
Ok... Sorry if I'm off topic. But I got a nightly but it's only a few kb... Is they correct for a nightly?
 
That was my experience with PAC OTA, as well. It never worked for me. You just have to keep an eye on the downloads page.

But, this thread is for Paranoid Android, and as far as I know their OTA does work.
 
Update:

I posted some logcats regarding the camera bug on the Sprint S3 thread for PA on XDA. I saw that one of my logcats had a view on it.

Today, I got a PM on XDA from a member with whom I had been talking about the camera issue.

He advised that the camera issue appears to have been resolved in Beta 6 with fully functional stock camera with panorama and photosphere.

I already downloaded the nightly and will flash it when I get a chance today.

If camera issue has been resolved, I'll update the OP.

Update 2:

Just clean flashed the nightly Beta 6 with standard GApps package and tested the stock camera: Google Camera.

All elements of the camera are working and have experienced no force closes.

Will update OP in a bit.
 
I apologize.. I just made all my posts on here. I thought that PA and PAC were the same thing... -.- does any of you using this ROM have any issues whatsoever?
 
PA 4.4.3 Release Candidate was released yesterday. I flashed it today. It's basically just a stock 4.4.3 build with no extra features. I'm assuming future beta builds will be based off it. Just haven't switched it to my 4.4.3 list because I haven't had the time yet.
