OnePlus One Android 5.0 Lollipop update demoed on video, tagged 'coming soon'
You wouldn't want to invite OnePlus and Cyanogen to the same party. After the latter worked out an exclusive deal with Indian smartphone manufacturer Micromax, an Indian court temporarily banned the Cyanogen powered OnePlus One from the country. That ban was reversed until January 7th, as the court ruled that Micromax's low priced Yu line is not a direct competitor to the flagship-style OnePlus One.
Recently, OnePlus hinted that it was working on its own build of Android that is close to being stock. An alpha version of the Android 5.0 build was available for brave OnePlus One users to flash on their phone. The process includes installing recovery, sideloading Google apps, and such drama. OnePlus, however, said that its custom Android ROM will be bloat-free "with stock-Android-like simplicity by default."

It seems ready to deliver on that promise, judging from the video just uploaded on the company's channel. The footage briefly shows a OnePlus One handset running Android 5.0 Lollipop, previewing what will be in store for users once it hits their handsets as an over-the-air update. Check it out.
