OnePlus has released a new ROM official for its top of the range, the OnePlus One who won our ranking of the best smartphones in the last generation. Born with CyanogenMod and also available with Color OS of Oppo, the start-up of Pete Lau already announced he is leaving the third-party solutions to embrace a more free.
According to the press releases of the company, Oxygen OS is now the base from which we will develop a concept of smartphone focused on the will of the same community. The release was planned for March 27, but some problems with the certification processes of Google for the delay of a few weeks, with the release occurred during the past weekend.
As for the design of the graphical interface, Oxygen OS is essentially identical to the stock version of Android 5.0.2 Lollipop, the platform on which it is based and, which are applied some new demands loudly from the community. Among these, for example, to display off you can give several commands by performing the gesture related.
