OnePlus Finally Releases OxygenOS for Flashing
Over the weekend, we received word from OnePlus that OxygenOS was finally available to download and flash onto OnePlus One devices — after being delayed for about a week and a half. OxygenOS is OnePlus’ self-built Android Lollipop ROM made exclusively for the One.
OxygenOS is supposed to be OnePlus’ version of what they believe stock Android should be. And with that, there aren’t many features to report on just yet — remember though, this is version 1.0. However, the ROM is built on Android’s 5.0.2 base with features built in, including: Quick setting customization, Lock screen gestures, and a root file manager.
While you may be excited to try OxygenOS, one aspect might just keep you from jumping up and down: the fact that OxygenOS won’t be coming to the OPO through an OTA update but rather a flashable .zip file. The .zip is not entirely huge, being about 750MB in size, and that includes Gapps built-in, so no separate file flashing.
You’ll have to know a little about ADB and Fastboot in order to get OxygenOS completely set up on your device — or just follow some instructions. Either way, Lollipop is finally, OFFICIALLY, available for the OnePlus One!

Urban Armor Gear LG G4 Case Review
June 23, 2015 | Vincent Messina
The Urban Armor Gear series of cases for the LG G4 aim to protect and serve your mobile device in a virtual blanket of, well, urban armor. Designed from a patented lightweight composite consisting of a hard outer shell and a soft impact resistant core, this dual layer defense not only meets military drop-test standards (MIL STD 810G 516.6), but looks good doing it. Now, before I go into more detail, let it be know that I have always been more of an au naturel device kind of guy, but after a bit of time with the Ash colored LG G4 Urban Armor Case, I can tell you that this case won’t be coming off any time soon.
Device Review: Droid Turbo, This is the Droid You’re Looking For
January 31, 2015 | Keyan X
The DROID brand deserves the majority of credit for the amount of early success that the Android operating system had in 2009 and 2010. From the original Motorola DROID to the original DROID Incredible, this was the brand of phones that people flocked to if they wanted a phone outside of the iPhone, not just because of a great marketing campaign, but because these were top of the line phones. Ask most of the readers on this site which phone got them started on Android, and you shouldn’t be surprised to hear them say, “The OG DROID.” It’s an iconic phone that helped launch Android to the top.
