According to Yu Televentures CEO, Rahul Sharma, the Yu Yuphoria smartphones will start receiving Cyanogen OS 12.1 starting Friday. The news comes via a Twitter post stating, "Just received the CTS approval for Cyanogen OS 12.1 for #YUPHORIA. Roll out begins tonight. Your device. Your OS.@YUplaygod."
The Cyanogen OS 12.1 update for Yu Yuphoria, based on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, includes a redesigned launcher with new app drawer and folders for one-handed use. The LiveDisplay feature would now automatically adjust the screen based on environmental conditions. The update also introduces integration of Calendar with Boxer email. Besides the inclusion of more playback support with more audio and video codecs, the Cyanogen OS 12.1 will also include a new AudioFX app. The update will arrive with build YOG4PAS47N.
Cyanogen in September this year started rolling out the CM12.1S (Cyanogen OS 12.1) to OnePlus One users. The update is said to bring the activation of the home button in Chrome. The home page, as reported before, will set to Bing search engine by default, which is likely the result of Microsoft and Cyanogen tie-up announcement. Other new features include a new LiveDisplay feature, integration of Calendar with Boxer email, an updated Cyanogen Browser, a new launcher, Truecaller integration, and a new AudioFX app.
The CyanogenMod open-source community in the same month released CyanogenMod 12.1 stable builds based on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, alongside security releases for CM11.0 and CM12.0 including fixes for the Stagefright vulnerability and other recent security disclosures. The firm says that not all the CM-based devices would be receiving these releases. Only those devices marked as 'Good to go' by the maintainer would get the updates.
CyanogenMod community last month made CM13 nightly builds based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow available for the OnePlus One (bacon), Nexus 7 (deb & flo), LG G4 (h815), Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 (mondrianwifi), LG GPad 7.0 (v400 & v410), LG G3 Verizon (vs985), and Moto X 2014 (victara).
