OnePlus celebrates the coming of 2015 with an Android Lollipop Alpha for the OnePlus One

It seems not even the New Year can stop work at some manufacturers. It appears OnePlus has been hard at work despite the festivities and released anÂ Android Lollipop Alpha for the OnePlus One yesterday. TheÂ Android Lollipop AlphaÂ comes in the form of a custom ROM, which OnePlus says will eventually become their custom ROM for the OnePlus One, but currently only has the framework afforded to them by the AOSP Lollipop.

As for what kind of ROM it’s going to turn out to be, OnePlus says:

“…we will keep to our promise and deliver an experience that is customizable, yet bloat-free with stock-Android-like simplicity by default; we wouldn’t ask you to settle for anything less.”If you own a OnePlus One, you’ll need to know a few things before you run off and try the new Alpha, like needingÂ TWRP recovery installed, and there is also a list of “Known issues” that you should take look at before your attempt. If that hasn’t deterred you, hit the source link below which will take you to OnePlus’ forum page where there are instructions for flashing the ROM. If anyone tries the Alpha, we’d love to know your impressions of it.
