OnePlus has finally released OxygenOS

Well nobody said OnePlus ever had the most impeccable timing. After announcing its OxygenOS was still floundering in certification purgatory, OnePlus on Saturday said the company’s first operating system is ready and rearing to go. You can download Oxygen at the source link below—instructions for flashing the OS are here.

OnePlus calls OxygenOS a “pure Android experience” that was specifically built and optimized for the OnePlus One; it’s based on Android 5.0.2, the latest version of Android, and it pretty much looks exactly like Google’s OS without the flimflam.

“In this environment where everyone is fighting to standout with custom ROMs, we think it’s important to go back to basics,” OnePlus wrote. “We place things like performance and battery life over gimmicks and bloated features”

As for the features that have been added, OnePlus says they’re subtle and important, rather than being added for the sake of differentiation. The company made a video demonstrating some of Oxygen’s more important additions, and they are indeed subtle; there are several gestures, customization options and the ability to re-organize quick settings. It doesn’t look all that different from what OnePlus One users are already used to using.

While this is all well and good, OnePlus obviously doesn’t feel like its software is completely finished, because it’s encouraging users to download an app where they can provide feedback. So if you have any major suggestions, OnePlus is open to hearing them. The more input you provide, the better OxygenOS can become.

“We want to emphasize that we built this initial version so that you guys could begin taking a direct role in the future of Oxygen,” the company explained.

We’ll definitely be giving Oxygen a thorough examination when we return to work on Monday. It looks great, but how does it perform? The Oxygen team is comprised of some big-time software engineers, so we’re expecting great things. I can’t wait to see how it runs on the company’s device.

But choose wisely, because CM12 is also expected to come out in the next few days.

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly

Want to master the CMO role? Join us for GrowthBeat Summit on June 1-2 in Boston , where we'll discuss how to merge creativity with technology to drive growth. Space is limited and we're limiting attendance to CMOs and top marketing execs. Request your personal invitation here ! Microsoft today updated its PowerPoint for iOS app with a rather bizarre update: remote Apple Watch support. You can download the new version now directly from Apple’s App Store . We say this addition is “bizarre” because, well, why would anyone want to control PowerPoint on their iPhone from their Apple Watch? This PowerPoint app also works on the iPad , and we would argue it makes more sense to control a presentation on your tablet from your wrist than one that is on your smartphone. Here is the changelog so you can try to make sense of it yourself: PowerPoint Remote for Apple Watch: control your slide show on iPhone with a beautifully simple app. Start your slide show and easily navigate to

Pirate Bay co-founder won’t be playing NES in his jail cell

Fredrik Neij, a co-founder of The Pirate Bay, the massive torrent site, was arrested last year for copyright infringement. That’s okay, though. He knew how he was going to spend his free time. Really, it’s not too different from what most gamers might as for: Nintendo. All day, every day. Unfortunately for Neij, prison authorities had some issues with the request. It’s not that video games are against the rules in Swedish prisons, though. That’s actually not too uncommon. To get a piece of hardware into the prison, though, it needs to be opened up so that it can be checked for contraband items (let’s just assume Nintendo-themed shivs) hidden inside. With a DVD player or something like that, it’s not too tough, but the NES uses special security screws to prevent people from tampering with the system or getting at the hardware for piracy purposes. For this reason, the Swedish authorities chose to deny his request. Their explanation is that getting into the console without destroying i
