OnePlus Pairing with ParanoidAndroid to Bring About OxygenOS
A few weeks ago, OnePlus teased that their custom build OS would be named OxygenOS and that more info on it would be released February 12th. Well, today is the day and OnePlus delivered — albeit not particularly the information you may have been hoping for.
The big takeaway from today’s announcement is that OnePlus will be bring on some of [custom ROM] ParanoidAndroid’s (PA) design and development team members to help construct OxygenOS. Some of the members that will be helping include Aaron Gascoigne and Jesús David Gulfo Agudelo (co-founders), Arz Bhatia (lead designer) and Hieu Nguyen.
Now OnePlus didn’t give a release date yet for the Lollipop-based ROM — which is quite possibly the most wanted piece of information — but they did say the highlights of OxygenOS would include: better battery life, performance, a bloat-free experience, and system efficiency. Those claims are also being affirmed by the community that is now testing the stable build of the OS.
Earlier this week I asked whether the OnePlus One (and the company) is still worth the hype. Do you feel that OxygenOS and this pairing with ParanoidAndroid team members will help the company? Or do you just want OnePlus to release the ROM already?

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.

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.
