OnePlus One owners have been eagerly anticipating the release of Cyanogen’s Android 5.0 update since the company announced that the release was right around the corner. That’s why many owners were disappointed by today’s update that, while adding plenty of new features and fixes, wasn’t the Lollipop update that they’ve been waiting for.
Android 4.4.4 is still a good OS, right? That’s the message OnePlus owners are receiving today as the latest OTA update, version 05Q, is set to roll out. While there are features aplenty in the new version, it begs that question many are asking Cyanogen Inc: how long does it take to customize Android? As we hear increasingly that Cyanogen is moving as far away from a reliance on Google as possible — far enough away to remove all traces of the company within five years — it’s interesting to note that what was once thought of as a near-stock version of Android has now taken on a considerably expansive life of its own.
