OnePlus may be painfully slow at bringing Lollipop to the One, but third-party developers are not. The popular device just got its first unofficial CyanogenMod 12 ROM, which is based on Google’s latest Android 5.1 firmware.

Android 5.1 is already shipping on Android One devices in Indonesia, which means it’s coming soon to Google’s Nexus devices. One of its many improvements is the ability to promptly switch between Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections directly from the Quick Settings menu.
