Hydrogen OS a new OS coming from OnePlus on 28th May

When OnePlus announced their very first phone the One, they announced it with the world's best custom ROM, Cyanogen OS, but still they got a more customized exclusive version of CyanogenMod. In China it was Oppo's ColorOS while in rest of the world it was Cyanogen. If you are OnePlus fan then you must have been known about Cyanogen Inc. trouble, so they released another OS which is Oxygen.

Now it looks like their is another OS coming which will launch exclusively in China, and will be named as Hydrogen OS. The Hydrogen OS for OnePlus One will be announced in Beijing on 28th of May, and will take much of its component from Oxygen OS,=, i.e. will be a very light weigh and have a good performance.

The Hydrogen OS will be based on Android 5.0.2 Lollipop and will have some features which will be differentiating it from the stock one, the new OS is for China, and it will not be that it will be a lookalike of iOS which most of the Chinese OS does so it will be a diffrent.

OnePlus originates from China, and hence they need a sepereate OS for their country which they soon be coming with. Let us wait for a few weeks to see the new OS.

OnePlus devices in India will continue to get Cyanogen Updates!

OnePlus back in December was about to be launched in India, Cyanogen and Micromax also had an agreement that no other device will feature the CyanogenOS in India, which made a legal fight between Micromax and OnePlus. Even making OnePlus to launch its own OS called as Oxygen OS.

But now all the legal proceedings are over and Cyanogen will continue to support the OnePlus One in India, which is a great news indeed for Indian fans of OnePlus. The legal case was taken back by Micromax through mutual consent.

OnePlus users in India with CyanogenMod 11S / 12S installed will be getting future updates which will be sent out to users worldwide and same will be distributed to Indian users.

Vikas Agarwal, General Manager at India, OnePlus said in regard to the legal statements,

"OnePlus remains vindicated of the recent trials and tribulations that has surrounded the company due to legal tussle with Micromax over exclusivity on CyanogenOS. We are happy to confirm that all ‘OnePlus One’ users in India will continue to receive OTA updates from Cyanogen in-line with our users in markets around of the world."

Cyanogen breaks their deal with OnePlus to focus on other Manufacturers

OnePlus One when was launched came with an exclusive custom variant to the phone which is CyanogenMod 11S it was based on Kitkat 4.4 but it was an exclusive customization over the normal CyanogenMod 11 which was denoted by S behind the 11 making it 11S and same went with the Android 5.0 Lollipop variant from Cyanogen the CyanogenMod 12 which was too customized for OnePlus and even Yu Yureka by Micromax.


OnePlus One was known for its customization options that came with Cyanogen's operating system, but the phone was too itself capable to make a hype. Cyanogen made a partnership in India with Micromax which lead OnePlus to develop Oxygen OS for its smartphones, the Oxygen OS was released just earlier this month.

Cyanogen break their deal with OnePlus to move forward with other Chinese brands making them available worldwide. Cyanogen's CEO Kirk McMaster strongly believes that if it weren't for the Cyanogen name, OnePlus would not have enjoyed a successful first year of operations. Executive says,

"Without Cyanogen, OnePlus would have sold like one device in international markets, Essentially they built their brand on the back of Cyanogen." 

The statement by Cyanogen doesn't falls good because they literally think that OnePlus is because their operating system, which to our feel is not a correct statement given by Cyanogen. As for OnePlus, the focus is now on producing updates for its OxygenOS. Cyanogen looks like that will provide support for the 12S Android 5.0 operating system, but they will not launch the next build for OnePlus One.

Cyanogen OS 12 rolling out again for OnePlus One with "OK OnePlus" and bug fixes

Cyanogen Inc had pulled the development of CyanogenMod 12S for the OnePlus One to add the "OK OnePlus" feature. The update is now ready and starting to roll out to OnePlus One users, but it turns out the pause for for more than just the one feature.

OnePlus' Steve Kondik said on the forum, 

"the reasons why we stopped the initial rollout are because of a problem updating encrypted devices from 11 to 12, and a couple of bugs that we felt were critical enough to fix before continuing (mms/telephony/themes). We also had an error in our production build environment that broke voice wakeup."

Steve further added that the team is working on :

1. Rolling out the new bugfixed update to users already on CM12
2. Resuming rollout to users still on CM11 tomorrow (it's late here). You'll actually first see a small 8MB update which will prepare the device for the real update (required if you are encrypted), this will immediately be followed by the new CM12 update.

He mentioned that while rolling out OTAs, it is difficult to account for devices that are not running fully stock versions, and they have to closely monitor diagnostics data. Lastly, he added, 

"It's perfectly safe to sideload the build onto your device even if you're encrypted."

So if you have a OnePlus One, go ahead and get yourself the update now!

The Cyanogen update will seed to Indian users too, as after court's decision that the high end offering from OnePlus cannot compete with the low priced Yu, and hence Indian users are lucky enough to get the Cyanogen update too along with Oxygen offering.
