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 ...

Mad Max meets Mario Kart is just bloody brilliant

How is this for a clever mash-up?  sundbergkr ‘s Mario Kart: Fury Road parody trailer mashes up the worlds of Mad Max and Mario Kart to epic results in this wonderful parody of the film’s trailer. What’s really special about this mash-up is that it isn’t entirely overdone. The Mario references are brief, subtle, and appear just long enough for you to appreciate them before waiting eagerly for the next one. Without a doubt the giant Chomp is the most laugh out loud moment, but the creators also slip in some perfectly timed and inappropriate voice clips during the violent action. I still haven’t seen Mad Max: Fury Road , due it not coming out in Japan until June 20, but I had purposely avoided the trailers to not get any spoilers. Now, thanks to Mario, June 20 can’t come fast enough! Source : Via : Destructoid from TechnoBuffalo http://ift.tt/1AvRv58

The Sega Saturn hit shelves 20 years ago today

20 years ago today, one of the weirdest consoles we’ve seen hit the market: The Sega Saturn. Looking at the image above, if you haven’t seen the Saturn before, it might not look that weird at a glance – disc tray, six buttons on the controller, black plastic. Nothing too bizarre there. It’s how Sega got to the Saturn that’s strange. Sega was riding high on the wild success of the Sega Genesis at the time. Sega of America had taken the Mega Drive, renamed Genesis in the United States, from a tiny also-ran to an equal player against the Super Nintendo. Sega was, of course, looking for the next big thing. Sega of America’s president Tom Kalinske courted Sony Interactive Entertainment’s Olaf Olafsson first, almost reaching a deal to cooperate on a new console. That fell through, just as Sony’s negotiations with Nintendo had before that. When Kalinkse brought the idea to the board at Sega of Japan, they weren’t interested in working with the guys who make Walkman stereos (kids, ask your...
