Cyanogen OS 12 (Lollipop) update for the OnePlus One halted to add “OK OnePlus” voice command

OnePlus One DSC06070

If you haven’t yet gotten Cyanogen OS 12 on your OnePlus One, you’ll have to wait a bit longer. The company has announced that they’ve had to halt the rollout in order to push out a new version that adds the “OK OnePlus” voice command into the fold. The rollout will resume mid-week, according to company man Carl Pei.

One might wonder why they simply wouldn’t wait until the current rollout is over and add the feature in a follow-up maintenance patch, but one would have to be behind the closed doors of OnePlus to truly know. We’re just glad they had a very good reason (the addition of an awesome new feature) to do it, and that it won’t take longer than a few days to get things going again.

Of course, if you’re impatient and can’t stand to wait you can always get the previous Lollipop release loaded onto your OnePlus One manually. There’s a handy guide showing you how to do just that over at the OnePlus forums so be sure to check it out. Otherwise, hold your horses and know that the goods should be going back out over-the-air before the week is over.

The "Google Phone" sounded too awesome to pass up, so I bought a G1. The rest is history. And yes, I know my name isn't Wilson.

        1. Nope. ;)

  2. I wish they would have said that last week. Had me checking my phone every other hour since the announcement of the ota for nothing.

    1. Flash it manually, I couldn’t take the incessant checking anymore

    What a bunch of jackoffs…

  4. Good thing I got one of the first waves, so I won’t have this ‘feature’.

    EDIT:

    It allows waking the device with the screen OFF! I just got the update, freaking awesome to have that Moto feature!
