> At its core, CyanogenMod is a best in class example of Open Source development. Really? Why is it that they can't even bring themselves to fix trivial bugs like [1] let alone bigger deal-breaker bugs like [2]? I find the OnePlus One borderline unusable with all the Cyanogenmod bugs it has...

Might be worth adding another note to one of those bugs in a few days when it's a year old.

  I'm not even sure they would fix it at this point. They'd probably tell me to upgrade to CM12, which I would definitely not want to do considering how much more buggy it seems to be.

    From personal experience, 12.x on 4 completely different devices has proven to be far more stable, fast, and more efficient than 11.x was. Of course these devices are Nexus 4,5,9 as well as OPO, so might be better supported.

"People on the OnePlus One forums have already created 300 pages in the CM12S bugs thread, comprised of more complaints than solutions. Which is why this time, people experiencing CyanogenMod 12S bugs on their OnePlus One might be better off either not installing the update, reverting to the KitKat version of finding a different custom ROM to use."

        Might be because I keep a very minimal install, such as no google apps + only apps I want and need. That said, the OPO is my daily phone these days, especially since I get a little more than 2 days of charge out of it. Also, using nightly images, not the vendor supplied ones. Not sure how much of a difference that is, but it works for me. :-)

      Not my experience. My audio would skip, my screen would report its size oddly in odd cases, if you took it into an international setting it would just crash (thats when I moved to Oxygen), and I had so many more issues I can't even remember. I don't fully blame Cyanogen as part of the blame is on OnePlus, but I have found their software to be very un-stable. The phone was an amazing deal tho and I really like how they specced it out. I am not so stoked on how the One plus two is specced tho. I want NFC at the very least. I see it as just a nerdy hobbyist sorta thing. Also I would like to say I find Cyanogen to be kinda snobby as most of their press is them whining about Android (the source code they built their OS on) not being truly open source. I find it be pretty ironic, as it must clearly be open source since, many people have taken it and made their own businesses based on it and its runtime is in so many different products...(Ie Amazon, Cyanogen, Various Chinese phone companies) Its odd the closed source parts are mostly the libraries used to communicate with Google's Cloud or using the play store, which would need to be replaced anyways.

  That bug in particular is an enormous pain. I thankfully don't have to reboot - I can either physically shake it a few times (this feature is disabled and should do nothing) or press the power button a few dozen times to get the screen to turn on.
  - wfunction 11y ago
    Yeah it's a pain alright. I I have a suspicion it's caused by an update, because I didn't use to get it until a few months ago. Do you have the same experience? Also, I never managed to get the power button to make it work. If it doesn't work I just have to reboot.

Yea I totally agree. One Plus Cyanogenmod was sooo buggy. Oxygen OS was worlds better, but still pretty buggy.
