[Update] OnePlus One will not be supported by CyanogenMod in India

 By Vaibhav Jain on November 29, 2014       

Update - Cyanogen Confirmed no update for Indian Users of OnePlus one after reassuring them , so no luck for Indian OnePlus one users - 

"If a user in India purchased a OnePlus One global device in channels outside of India, they will receive our OTA firmware updates. However, this excludes OnePlus One regional devices sold directly in India."

As this month only Micromax ( The biggest Indian Smartphone maker company ) announced the new YU series which will be powered by CyanogenMod and will get every update of Android by CyanogenMod .

Also Cyanogen Announced that it will support only Micromax In India and no other company will get support in India expect Micromax , and that means the Upcoming OnePlus One will not receive any update in India .

Also The effect on the Company OnePlus will be very bad due to such a decision from Cyanogen . OnePlus is going to launch The device OnePlus One on December 2nd and seems now that no one will be interested in the Smartphone without CyanogenMod .




Hence OnePlus will not be using cm for android updates , but OnePlus will provide its own rom that you have to flash to upgrade your android version .
