Owners of the OnePlus One can finally get their hands on the eagerly anticipated update to Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Cyanogen is currently rolling out CM 13.0 with build number ZNH0EAS26M OTA to all users in a phased manner, which means consumers might have to wait a little while before they receive it.
As for the OnePlus 2, the handset still hasn’t gotten the upgrade to Marshmallow. So far, the company has released a beta version of its Android 6.0-based OxygenOS 3.0 for people who want to test it out. This means the update is almost upon us, but there’s no telling how long the brand will take to iron out any kinks.
Marshmallow brings in a number of changes for the OnePlus One. Cyanogen claims there are thousands of changes between version 12.1 and 13.0 of the OS. Some of the highlights include the elimination of Whisperpush and advanced mode within Settings, with the new behavior set to show all settings at once.

OnePlus One users will also be able to control layout and options directly from the QS panel through the edit tile or long-pressing the settings gear found in the pull down area. They won’t be able to use Quick unlock anymore as Cyanogen had to get rid of it in order to comply with Android Gatekeeper’s security constraints.
