- sangnoir 10y agoNo need to rehash Cynogen Inc's strategy - they already partnered with Microsoft and bundle Office, MS Camera and default to Bing. Which was well-received by the community known for flashing new ROMs onto their phones /s. And don't get me started about the OEM amateur hour: they inked a deal with OnePlus and shipped as the out-of-the-box OS for the OPO. A lot of people in India bought the phone - win-win-win, right? Then the strategic geniuses signed another agreement with an Indian phone manufacturer with an exclusivity clause that prevented further OTA updates to the OPO phones already in user's hands on the subcontinent. Never mind dissing their upstream ("Cyanogen is putting a bullet to Google's head" - Cyanogen Inc CEO)
