Why trust Greenbot
Cyanogen has taken its own sweet time in bringing Lollipop to the OnePlus One. The company had initially promised to update the handset to Android 5.0 within 90 days of its source code being released, but could not fulfill it.
OnePlus co-founder, Carl Pei, then revealed last month that Cyanogen OS 12 will be released for the OnePlus One towards late March. Today, the Cyanogen team itself has provided some updates about the CM12 update for the OnePlus One as well as the Yu Yureka and Alcatel Hero 2+.
The company says that the Cyanogen OS 12 OTA update for the OnePlus One will be “released in the next few weeks,” and it is currently “packaging the final bootloader firmware” and addressing issues that popped up in the QA tests.
The Yu Yureka will also see its Cyanogen OS 12 OTA update released in “the next few weeks.” The company is currently addressing the issues from the Quality Assurance tests and beginning a soak test with some owners of the Yureka in India.
For the recently unveiled Alcatel Hero 2+, the Cyanogen team said that the handset will ship with Cyanogen OS 11 out of the box, and that it is currently “working diligently” with MediaTek to bring Android 5.0 to the handset. It estimates that Cyanogen OS 12 will be ready for the handset by May/June.
As for Android 5.1, Cyanogen is currently “evaluating the changes in this newest release and will release this as part of a future OTA update after the initial ‘L’ update.”
