OnePlus is reportedly planning to deploy the new CM12.1 (Android 5.1 Lollipop) stability update to the 2014 flagship smartphone One soon.
Ever since the roll-out of CM12 (Android 5.0.2 Lollipop) to OnePlus One, many owners have been complaining about the touchscreen glitch aka Ghost Touch. Taking cognisance of the issue, the company has issued statement that new stability update CM12.1 (based on Android 5.1 Lollipop) is ready with the fix.
OnePlus programmers have also taken care of a couple of side-effects like fast battery draining and MURA effects (random dark splotches on the screen) and to find other glitch (if any), the firmware has been sent to factory lab for further testing.
"The last iteration is undergoing stringent testing, it's looking stable and promising," said Helen, OnePlus forum administrator.

Once done, it will be dispatched to Google for certifications. If things go as planned it might get released by end of June or beginning of July.
As a temporary fix, the company had released software patch last week to fix Ghost Touch and other swipe issues. It required users to install OxygenOS.

But, now with the announcement, OnePlus One just need to wait a few more weeks to new CM12.1 based Android 5.1 Lollipop update.
