Available for everyone, Hydrogen OS, the launcher of OnePlus One of China

Earlier this year OnePlus broke his agreement with CyanogenMod. OnePlus One and future phones to be release from the brand as the OnePlus 2, would include an own ROM, called Oxygen OS.

Well, the OnePlus China has a different ROM and is no Oxygen, Hydrogen otherwise. This is very similar to Oxygen ROM, but more complete in some respects. So far, only could be used by Chinese users who had a OnePlus, fortunately and thanks to the community and especially to XDA, all users can enjoy Android Hydrogen OS launcher.

First you do not expect such a complete launcher as it can be Nova. Hydrogen is functional, attractive and different, but not many options with which to tinker. 

The launcher Hydrogen is stable and functional for day to day, but that does not mean you do not have the odd bug fix. Remember that the launcher is designed to be used in a Chinese terminal and physical keypad, so it is likely that years of occasional error when performing any action. However, the developer is still working on this launcher, so we may see very soon occasional update.

It is always good to get more interesting proposals like this to customize our Android terminals, except personally you prefer the pure appearance of Android. Launcher with Google Now GEL Settings Xposed Xposed Framework and requires root and can look similar to a Nexus terminal, but much more customizable.

A user hacks the new OnePlus 2 referral system

It is not necessary that you will like the new referral system of OnePlus 2 to be enthusiastic about the company's products, but it helps. The invitations OnePlus system serves to help the company to meet the demand for its products. Also keep in mind that the fact that OnePlus sell their terminals so cheap means they can not produce terminals based on expectations due to "limited" in its budget can not adopt that strategy.

A fan of OnePlus by the name of Jake Cooper was pretty angry. After buying a OnePlus One invitation last year to a user of XDA Developers, he made sure he was ready for this year registering with time, being the 9,000. However, the company allows users to upload queued inviting their friends. As a result, Jake Cooper looked at the list shortly after registering to prove that his position had risen from 9,000 to 70,000, which probably would not get the new flagship killer.

Still, this user would not easily give up. With their knowledge of Internet discovered a flaws in the referral system that allowed him to climb until 1694 position of the list and published in a post on Medium. With its insured discovery, Cooper sent a tweet to OnePlus that has captured the attention of the company and specifically its co-founder Carl Pei.

The fact is that this year from OnePlus distributed fifty times more invitations than last year during what were the first turbulent days of OnePlus One, although invitations were deactivated during the Black Friday as a special measure.

The new OnePlus One firmware does not seem to solve all the problems definitely

Despite the time it takes the flagship killer named OnePlus One, which is already available without invitation and still is a fantastic choice for those seeking high performance, good components and finishes at an affordable price, with full support of Cyanogen firmware.

And speaking of firmware, namely we published a week ago the arrival of a new update to the operating system OnePlus One, in which many users experienced problems with the touch screen of this, because for one reason or another, this did not contain the accuracy necessary to tap with your fingers. As well we said, OnePlus worked with Synaptics to address the serious issue in a number of terminals that suffered and did so by publishing a small firmware update that would solve all the problems with the screen, but the result has not been fully positive.

As we can read between the lines in the source of the news, it seems that now this new and latest firmware is draining the battery of these terminals to a more acceptable level. This is because, if we enabled the option of waking up to double tap, autonomy is reduced significantly.

This has led CyanogenOS to want to replace the latter with a nightly version today, May 18, so that users don get affected in their the autonomy of OnePlus One and can continue to enjoy their device as they have done so far when this series of problems appeared.

As well say themselves, they are working on it, what can still take a few days talking -always the less better- what if the issue extends too, think it advisable to recommend to the holders of those using alternative ROM, Therefore it is official as OxygenOS.
