One of the key features that made the OnePlus One so popular was its integration with Cyanogen, which had it running the popular Android ROM out of the box. Now, it looks like that partnership could be falling apart after Cyanogen announced an exclusive India deal with Micromax, leaving\u00a0OnePlus out of the loop. So what does that mean for the\u00a0upcoming OnePlus 2?<\/p>\n

In a long blog post this weekend, OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei expressed confusion and dismay in response to Cyanogen\u2019s decision. He notes that the company still plans to sell its phone through Amazon India, though it won\u2019t be able to update Cyanogen in the country. Elsewhere, the company promises regular software updates\u2014at least for one more year. After that, OnePlus plans to shift towards its own in-house operating system, which is already in development.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s new software will be based on Android 5.0 Lollipop and offer a fast, lightweight and bloatware-free experience. \u201cWe appreciate the work that Google has put into Android, and we have no plans of departing from Material Design nor adding unnecessary customizations,\u201d Pei writes.<\/p>\n

The new operating system should be ready to launch by February, though Indian users could get an early build as soon as next month. As for the OnePlus 2, the company doesn\u2019t offer any details on what software the device will run, though at this point a second Cyanogen smartphone looks unlikely. OnePlus is planning to host a Reddit AMA interview in early Dec., so hopefully we\u2019ll learn more about the upcoming flagship phone then.<\/p>\n
