CM12S Android 5.0 Lollipop OTA roll-out for OnePlus One imminent

OnePlus One users are in for some great news as the founder of OnePlus, Carl Pei, has just clarified the release status of the CyanogenMod 12S (CM12S) Android 5.0 Lollipop over-the-air (OTA) on their flagship phone.

We've learned it's irresponsible to give ETA's when we're not sure. Let's do probabilities (rollout start): today 75%, Tue 15%, Wed 10%

According to the recent tweet from Carl Pei, there is a 75% chance that the OnePlus One will receive the Android 5.0 CM12S OTA update on 12 April, while 15% chances of it coming on Tuesday and a mere 10% of the release being launched on Wednesday.

Pei's tweet could offer some solace to disappointed OnePlus One users who were earlier told by the CEO of Cyanogen, Kirt McMaster, over Twitter that the CM12S OTA will be released when ready: "guys... calm the f down... it's coming soon... when ready!"

It is speculated that OnePlus and CyanogenMod may part ways soon, given the continued delay with the release of CM12S update for the OnePlus One.

Furthermore, it is ascertained that once a fully-functional and stable OxygenOS for OnePlus One is out, there will not be any scope for CM12S update as the stock OTA updates will be rolled out on a regular basis.
