Say what you will about OnePlus’s sales tactics, but it is tough to deny that the One is a stellar phone for an incredibly low off-contract price. The hardware is solid, to be sure, but it is thanks to a customized version of Cyanogenmod that the smartphone really shines. And the team behind the firmware is not resting on their laurels; an update that began rolling out earlier today, CM 11S 38R, includes notable feature additions and a litany of much-needed fixes.

The OnePlus One is a rare device in a number of ways. It is highly spec’d, has a hugely affordable price tag, is not made by a major company, and runs CyanogenMod. Those are all good things, but the OnePlus smartphone is also just rare, which is not so good. It has been hard to get since its launch earlier in the year, but the company will soon open its pre-order window again. For those who managed to get the OnePlus One (by invite), there is now a new software update for your stand out from the crowd device. Cyanogen’s CM 11S 38R software is now making itself to the OnePlus One and is available OTA (over the air), bringing with it a bunch of changes and enhancements.
