I'm hoping his "Rockstar" status may bleed over and he will be able to maybe help influence in some way the build quality. I know the software will for sure improve. IMO

Good for him.
We'll see if it ruins CM.
Seems like a positive to me. I like my OEMs to be stocked with employees of a true open-source mind set. I've got zero worries about CM. Like someone pointed out elsewhere, it's not like he doesn't already have a dayjob now. He ain't maintaing CM7 for a living. And even if he were to quit entirely tomorrow CM would still roll along just the same. There's too many maintainers and devices now for it to be stopped.

+1 He started the ball rolling now it has momentum of it's own.Besides he'll always be there to help.
Seems like CM has slowed down a lot more without him around as much

+1 for cyanogen. I think its awesome the samsung brought him on there team. It will make my next phone choice that much harder. Even though i like sense based roms better i would be very interested in seeing a samsung running CM like rom out the box
I dunno if this kind of post is kosher or not, but I really like flashing roms and was wondering if we have any confirmed sightings of Devs that will be coming to the Nexus 4? Or if any Devs wanted to post and say they will be bringing their awesome talents to the Nexus 4?
I'm definitely looking forward to AOKP (hopefully ), but I also like testing out other less popular ROMs as well. I'm still freshly registered on the site, but would love to start supporting independent developers as well as the big groups and hope that we see a good community for it with the Nexus 4.
I don't think you have anything to worry about. All the Nexus phones have great developer support, so I'm sure this one will too.
I think Cyanogen, AKOP (with other kangers), Paul from MoDaCo, maybe Mike from ARHD would be a good start.
Thanks for the quick replies! Not concerned really, just want to take a look at their work on other devices and see what kind of neat things they were able to do with their roms.

If prices from play store for nexus 4 are real, then sell i9300, get a nexus 4 and be ****ing drunken for the extra money. Isn't that cool?

Being an S2 user I know that codeworkx is a master developer and if he comes over to the N4 I'd be one of the happiest people on the planet. The dude (along with the other geniuses Entropy & espen) managed to make CM10 a daily driver on the closed source S2!! 5* for all of them.
N4 on stock is brilliant, and since its open sourced I'm sure CM10 on it would make it a 2 year phone.
Fingers crossed.
OnePlus and Cyanogen on brink of breakup after India fight

So what does this mean long term for us 1+1 fans ? Here's hoping we still get the official CM12S build early next year, and doesn't stop there ?

Article said that CM will still provide support for another year... by then, If CM leaves, OnePlus will have its Lollipop rom up and running already...
I havent used the stock CM rom much.. I pretty much flashed PA as soon it was out and kept using it..
Sounds like a **** move from CM, money talks though I suppose.

I really wonder what happened here. Did the contract really allow Cyanogen Inc to make exclusivity deals as they see fit. And what OEM will work with Cyanogen in the future after having stabbed their partner in the back? Or so it seems anyway.
Oh well, lots of great ROMs available for the OnePlus One.
Well I hope cm team gives us some clarification about this...

I sincerely think cm should make money they deserve and gave for to long a free rom. OnePlus probably wants to make their own rom. They've already spoke about this before.
Maybe OnePlus used Cyanogen just to get a brand name OS to help market and sell the OnePlus One originally ? Now that the phone is out, and selling more than they can produce, maybe OPO got cocky and said, hey we don't need CM to sell for us, we can do it ourselves in house now ?
If it went down like that, I feel bad for Cyanogen team.
I was under the wrong impression on the OPO when it was first announced long time ago. I thought Steve K. of Cyanogen was making a break to produce a phone of his own by a brand new company he partnered up with, and would run his CM ROM. And it would be a foundation of a new hardware company to produce the phone + Steve's CM ? Guess it's not like that.

Well I read the opo letter. They are a greedy band. With a great marketing plan. Let's see now what they'll get for us.
So CM is now the definition of stupid.
Ugh, should I quickly cancel my order?
CM are scummy and have history. They took the community contributions that were free and in the spirit of open source and tried to turn a profit.
And remember the focal camera spat?
One has to wonder how much Cyanogen's decision came as a result of One Plus One poor hardware selection. Anyone plagued by the touchscreen bug knows the pain of having an essentially unusable device. My understanding is that One Plus provided the hardware and Cyanogen the software side. If Cyanogen got a better deal with hardware assurances from another company, can't fault them from walking. I'm sure there is more to this story then meets the eye but One Plus statement is vague and unconvincing.
Totally agree. Those greedy scum should sit quietly in their offices and make ROMs for us for free without making us think about stupid things like how they pay their rent, keep their lights on or put food on their tables. Selfish profiteers!

I'm kinda excited actually , I'm curious to see what oneplus cooks up , do you think they'll go with aosp ? Their letter makes it sound like they are embracing stock android but with some tweaks , ala Motorola maybe ? One can only dream Haha

Micromax is hardly known for it's premium phones. I'm sure they had their reasons but the lack of a clear official statement from both sides isn't very professional. I have been using CM since the days of eclair and I was happy to support them when they turned commercial but this kinda feels like a kick in the teeth.
Everyone's worst(?) fears have come true:
Cyanogen ends OnePlus partnership, aims to work with bigger Chinese vendors
Do you care? I don't.

Sad. But sounds like nobody knows how to work together. The guys at cyanogen the guy in charge has a hot temper. Does not really care whom he pisses off. I am not shocked at all. Like a little kids he takes his toys and goes plays somewhere else and nobody can play with his toys. Sounds like he does not care to make money, anyone else watching how this has played out should be aware of the type people who run cyanogen. Proof is in the pudding. He told some guy asking cm12s update hold the **** on. Come on, really. Bunch of assholes, but I can say that cause I am the consumer not the owner or programmer. If he feels his product is good enough and he can say what he wants to anyone then I wish them well running there product and company in the ground.
I haven't cared for cm inc. in all of this but I'd like to see which phone CyanogenMod devotes as much attention to as they did with the opo. If there is another actual flagship with cm on it, I'd highly consider it just to get a phone that gets first rate attention from cm. This fall should be interesting.

This nails it. Anyone they approach from now on will look at their history and stay away.
Their case study is basically: Our first partnership started off, we provided the OS and then backstabbed them and signed an exclusive deal with a competitor banning their phones in India. We then parted ways.
They shot themselves in the head.
I'd say Huawei or Lenovo or possibly ZTE. Can't see it being Xiaomi.
Huawei needs the most help cleaning up their skin!
But yeah F*#$ CM!
They use what Google put out and pretend that they made it better although it's filled with bugs!
I am curious as to what exactly does this mean? Does this mean there will no longer be CM updates for the Oneplus One?

If it wasnt for their good roms, and on past phones earlier then vendots with updates I wouldnt have even considered the oneplus. Actually thought it was their own first phone. lol.
its still a fun phone, but all in all its not what I expected it to be considering how long it took for official lollipop to come out
Isn't this a few months old news and/or expected?

You can't quote one line from a string of many emails and make that the end result of the correspondence. The conversation in those emails went on to resolve those issues. Temporarily maybe, but there was still a resolution. If the relationship had terminated back then we would have never gotten the 05Q update, let alone Lollipop. You're right on one point though, this was expected.

Well it would surely affect oneplus 2 sales. OxygenOS is not open sourced and they don't even know how to provide proper kernel sources. Main keypoint about opo is open source spirit which oxygenos clearly lacks.

Hope so it'll be as open sourced as OPO is now! I would surely consider upgrading then.
As an affordable phone that is very easy to play around with custom software, announcements such as these carry less drawbacks than may at first seem the case.
As far as I'm concerned, CM and OPO parting ways is of little consequence... Regardless of an official CM partnership, the phone is still in the very capable hands of devs here on xda and at OPO.

Just realized I sold 4 phones to friends that have no intention of going custom.
I am kinda sad cause I vouched for the oneplus getting more and speedy updates.
Now neither oneplus nor cyanogen will get me or them as customers ever again if they dont continue the 2 years after last oneplus sold support Why after last sold? due to commitment of 2 years support to customer (not oneplus)
Now that the partnership is effectively over, where is the incentive for CM to provide timely and bug-free updates? They're just going to do the minimum required to fulfill their contract until the 2 years are up.
I do want to keep my phone on CM but I'm wondering if there's any point to stay on 12S rather than switching to the 12.1 nightlies

How do you feel about the company after all this time? Has any of the controversies changed your perception of the company? Would you buy its products in the future? Etc...
For me the company isn't as good as it was in the past when i bought the OPO. The controversies have changed my perception of the company by a lot. They have opened up a whole lot about the company that their PR Team can't cover up. The most sad thing I've found is that OP doesn't want to address the problems and even if they do they don't want to solve it. Its an amateur move to think that there's an easy way out. For instance (agree with me or not) OxygenOS was a screw up after all that hype. But they didn't address the problem they just kept hyping it more and more. For fixing of the problem, there is no update for OxygenOS.. It's like the project is dead. But let's not about that.
For the future products, I will look forward to buy them but the doubt a person has before buying something has definitely increased from when i bought the OPO

How was Oxygen a screw up? Do you mean the extended delays? If so I agree completely, they made a huge mistake in continually promising release dates that they couldn't make. As far as updates go, it's been less than two months since release. Have a look at all the other OEM release schedules and it's pretty clear that updates aren't usually very frequent. Either way I'd still consider buying another OnePlus product, but my decision would hinge on what OS was shipped with the product.

I get what you're saying, OnePlus have made quite a few mistakes. They're a young company though, that's not to excuse them exactly, but hopefully they actually learn from their errors and make a bigger effort in future.
In regards to Oxygen, it isn't PA, there's only one member of the Oxygen team that came from Paranoid Android. As far as it being over-hyped, I can only assume that you're saying you weren't overly pleased with the end product. But as I see it they delivered exactly what they promised; a close to stock Android experience. I've seen a lot of people complain that it lacks features that they're used to, but those features that they're missing aren't a part of stock Android and therefore shouldn't have been expected in the first place. If people want those kinds of features turn they need to turn to the one place that they're readily available; XDA, and custom ROMs. In saying that, I don't personally like Oxygen, because I like more features, so I use custom ROMs. But I was fully aware that Oxygen was being promoted as a stock-like experience so there's no reason to complain about that. The fact that I don't personally like it doesn't make it a bad product, it just means it's my own opinion, and I'm not arrogant enough to think that my opinion means that it's a bad OS, there are many people out there that love it.
What have the Oxygen team been doing? What has any development team been doing since their last update? Working on the OS (hopefully). The fact is we're not entitled to anything, it's an optional OS.

I don't know how this turned into a debate on n OxygenOS. But now since it has there are already too many ROMs which are near stock experience.. What's the use of one more? Also they never said they were going to release a ROM which was near stock rather they said it was going to be something great. There are already enough averages out there, no need for one more giving the stock experience.

Natural progression of the conversation since that's where you started in your OP. What's the use? Choice. The fact that you don't like it doesn't mean others don't, you have your opinion and you're entitled to that, but your opinion doesn't dictate how others see the ROM. It's simple; if you don't like Oxygen just don't use it. We have literally dozens and dozens of ROMs available for this phone so you can have your pick.
There are plenty of people who want a near stock experience. And yes, they did promote it as that on numerous occasions. And it is great in many people's eyes, which brings me back to my previous point; the fact that you don't think it's great doesn't mean it isn't great for someone else. To each their own.
To say thread the ROM is pointless is akin to saying that any phone without a custom ROM on it (and running OEM firmware) is pointless. There are billions of those in the world. Custom ROMs are the minority. Plus, there are many ROMs right here on XDA that are a near stock experience, are they all pointless?

Yes you are right. OP's own conscience is not clear yet. He need to understand what exactly he want from the company. Oxygen OS was pure AOSP build. I don't think there is any ROM on XDA which is pure stock like Oxygen. So people who love AOSP ROM's will prefer oxygen. Other people have tons of ROMs to choose from.

I don't about my opinion and my ability to look beyond it but what i know from roaming around these forums is that its very easy to honey pot people. Its very easy to get their loyalty and to have them defend you at no matter what. Its really easy to stop them from taking out a moment and rationally thinking.
I personally think OnePlus is on the right track. I'd consider a phone from them again only if the value was similar. A phone with these specs at 360 today is still a decent deal. Regarding oxygen os, I'm one of the users that likes it pure asop base and then I use xposed to add the specific features I want. I view the sheer volume of choices as a huge value add for this phone and its ease to flash custom roms a huge benefit ensuring support from dev community for a while. Is there room for improvement? Absolutely but it's still high on my list of vendors to choose from when it's time to upgrade.

From 1 month I've the display issue, with ghost/non responsive touch, no matter what ROM or FIX I apply....
I contact the assistance to change it in warranty, they told me that they can't repair 'cause it have some dents on the frame...
They continue to send me ROMS, links, zips with pre-writed forms, they never read one word from what i write them.
So, I've a VERY BAD opinion of them, and from now, I will leave forever all their products to others people on the earth.
Flagship killer.... it's easy to use batches of fail/cheap display and when they result as crappy display you search all excuses to not repair them.

OP's service has always been awful
maybe
It all depends on the price for me. I bought the Oneplus One because it was pretty cheap, had good specs and a decent community. I might buy the Two if it's cheap. If it's expensive because of some useless metal parts or because it has the ability to control my tv or make soup, I won't buy it.
I love my OPO and can't wait for OP2. Tech support IME has been fantastic, they solved a small issue without delay and were friendly & helpful the entire time. I'd recommend OnePlus to anybody based on that experience and of course the phone itself. tbh i don't care at all about OxygenOS or delays because I run rooted custom all the time no matter what it came with. Mine came with KitKat and was awesome the whole time, when LP arrived it was still awesome so there's no reason to be unhappy.
CM12S is a good default choice for most ppl and the camera app is solid, only wish it used Camera2 LP API even if we'd lose the Clear Image feature. Openness of the hardware is like a breath of fresh air after years of Samsung. Now that Samsung is trying to be Apple with KNOX and other BS it's even more compelling to choose OnePlus for the next iteration - IF they keep the screen at least 5.5, hopefully bigger.
