If you’re a custom ROM flasher who never waits for official updates from manufacturers, you’ll be delighted to know that there’s now an unofficial CyanogenMod 12.1 ROM that brings Android 5.1 Lollipop to the 2014 Motorola Moto G.

Lollipop’s memory leak has been plaguing Nexus users since Android 5.0 was released late last year, and despite several updates since then, Google has failed to fix it. Fortunately, third-party developers have stepped in with a patch.

The tweak is intended for devices running AOSP ROMs based on Android 5.0 and up, and it’s available on rooted devices running the Xposed framework.

OnePlus doesn’t have a great track record at meeting deadlines, so you probably won’t be too surprised to hear its OxygenOS software has been delayed. As a result, the company has been forced to give away five 64GB One smartphones.

CyanogenMod fans with a Galaxy S5 can now get their hands on an unofficial CM 12.1 ROM based on Google’s latest Lollipop firmware. Compatible with both the international and CDMA models, the ROM brings everything you would expect to get with an Android 5.1 upgrade.

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.
