OnePlus hat eine gute Meldung für euch, das One erhält dank des Cyanogen OS 13 jetzt ein Firmware-Update mit Android 6 Marshmallow an Bord. Lange hat es auch beim OnePlus One gedauert, wir haben nun bald Mitte April und endlich ist Marshmallow da. Ein halbes Jahr haben wir insgesamt warten müssen. Mal abgesehen von der neuen Android-Version hat das Cyanogen OS in Version 13 natürlich noch viele andere Veränderungen unter Haube.
Ein ewig langes Changelog findet ihr unter diesem Text. Solltet ihr manuell flashen wollen (hier die ZIP) und Probleme bekommen, sollte das Stock-Recovery helfen können. Nicht zu verwechseln ist das neue Cyanogen OS mit der „freien“ CyanogenMod, denn davon gibt es ein Snapshot schon seit einer Weile. Wer noch Geduld über hat, wird das Cyanogen OS-Update auch OTA in den nächsten Tagen oder wenigen Wochen automatisch erhalten.

- Permissions
- Due to new permission model API in M, Privacy guard has been re-engineered to be compliant with this new environment.
