First Nightly version of CyanogenMod 13 for the OnePlus 2 appears online

The first Nightly of CyanogenMod 13 has appeared on the developer’s official website. That now provides users with the first Android Marshmallow-based alternative to OxygenOS 3 and means custom ROMs based on CyanogenMod can now be created as well.

The first Nightly from CM13 for the OnePlus 2 can be found on get.cm. A Nightly build of the ROM isn’t as stable as a release version, but stable enough that developer Cyanogen Inc. releases the operating system for advanced users who prefer to run on the latest version of Android. The fact that CyanogenMod is releasing a Nightly for the OnePlus 2 also indicates that new stable versions of CyanogenMod 13 are also coming in the future.

The original operating system of the OnePlus 2 is the company’s own OxygenOS. The release version for the OP2, OxygenOS 2.2.1, is based on Android 5.1.1. However, the final version of OxygenOS 3.0.1, based on Android 6.0.1, is almost finished and is already available for download by users. Subsequently, an ota update to 3.0.2 is available. It can also be downloaded manually. Cyanogen OS, a specially adapted version of CyanogenMod for OnePlus, among others, is not there for the OnePlus 2. The cooperation between the two parties broke down after the release of the OnePlus One, which at the time prompted OnePlus to develop its own Android variant. . CyanogenMod 13 is already available for the OnePlus One and the OnePlus X.
