Smartphone maker OnePlus pledged to develop its own software after partner Cyanogen did the dirty on it with an exclusive distribution deal with Micromax in India, and it marked the new year by releasing its forked version of Android.
Android Police first spotted the new ROM for OnePlus’s One phone, which has yet to be given a name — it reports that it is based on Android Lollipop and is very much like the stock version from Google.
OnePlus confirmed on its forums that the initial software — which is currently in alpha — is basic but will be developed and tweaked over time.
