Chinese smartphone maker OnePlus has announced the release date of Android Lollipop updates including CyanogenMod and its home baked OxygenOS. The company said that the CyanogenMod 12S based on Lollipop will be released on March 30 or before, while the OxygenOS based on Lollipop 5.0 will be rolled out before March 27.

Moreover, the company which is working on OxygenOS seems to be facing lots of delays and problems. In its official forum the company posted " We never intended to keep you waiting. Unfortunately, we ran into some unexpected roadblocks. First, there was an unforeseen OS signing issue, which has recently been resolved. Our camera module had stability issues on Lollipop, and we had to rebuild it for compatibility. Several other crucial drivers, including our Wi-Fi drivers, also needed to be updated to work flawlessly with the upgrade".
