After providing us with more details on its new OxygenOS software earlier today, OnePlus did a Reddit AMA to answer fans’ questions about the new ROM. We’ve trawled through it to find the juiciest information so you don’t have to, and this is what we know so far about OxygenOS.

Who knows when Samsung will finally release its Lollipop updates for the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge. But if you own the latter and you’ve had enough of waiting, you can now take matter into your own hands.
A pre-release Android 5.0.1 Lollipop build — made by Samsung with its own TouchWiz user interface — is now available for manual flashing on select Galaxy Note Edge variants.
Adobe makes some of the most powerful desktop software you can get for creatives — so powerful, in fact, that it can take you years to learn the intricacies of apps like Photoshop, InDesign, and Lightroom. But you can speed up that process with Adobe-certified training courses. For a limited time, you can get lifetime access to over 5,000 of them for just $79.

With so many wearables to choose from these days, how do you decide which one is right for you? Are you better off investing in a cross-platform device like the Pebble, or do you want the color display and other benefits that Android Wear brings?
The best way to decide is by trying these devices out before you buy them. Not for five minutes in a store, but for as long as you like as you go about your day. Lumoid’s rent-to-own program lets you do just that; you can sample five wearables for a full 7 days before deciding which one you want to buy, and if you don’t like any of them, you can just send them all back.

OnePlus has been promising its own Android software for a while, and that’s exactly what it delivered to kick off 2015. The new custom ROM, which is currently in alpha, is based on pure Lollipop and can be flashed using the TWRP custom recovery.
