OnePlus promised that Android 5.0 would be made available for the OnePlus One as soon as possible but we didn’t expect downloads links so soon!
Ok so this might not be an official Android 5.0 ROM for the OnePlus One, but thanks to savvy developers you can get Lollipop on your OPO right now. I haven’t tested the ROM myself as I don’t have a OPO handy but looking at the screenshots the ROM appears to be a stand Vanilla build!
