Micromax's Yu Yureka is set to soon
receive its Android 5.0 Lollipop-based
Cyanogen OS update, CM12S, as
indicated by Micromax Co-Founder and
CEO.

According to Rahul Sharma, the CM12S
update for the Yu Yureka has been
submitted to Google for certification.
Sharma however did not give an exact
roll out date of the update. "Wanna than
all the beta testers and everyone
involved, we are now in the final phase o
Lollipop release. The software has been
submitted to Google for approval today,
and if all goes well the rollout should
happen soon," he said on the Yu forum
on Monday.

"Here is a little peek into what is going
on under the hood. At YU, quality is a ke
focus and our partner, Cyanogen is
equally committed to provide a robust
software. We both work hard to ensure
that the awesome new features are stabl
enough to provide the best user
experience. However, with Lollipop it
became a little more stringent and longe
Every set of errors took us back a few
steps costing us few more days for the
rollout. Now in the final stage, we canno
wait ourselves to ship it fast. We will kee
you posted on the update," he added.

For now, neither Cyanogen or Micromax
subsidiary Yu Televentures have revealed
what new features the CM12S update wil
bring for the Yu Yureka. Notably,
Micromax and Chinese smartphone
maker OnePlus had locked horns last
year over an exclusivity agreement won
by the domestic manufacturer to offer
Cyanogen OS smartphones in India, as
well as their updates. The issue has bee
closely watched by authorities. While
initially it looked as if OnePlus would be
unable to offer Cyanogen OS updates in
India, OnePlus co-founder later
confirmed an OTA update for CM12S
would be made for Indian users as well.

Last week, OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei,
on Twitter replied to a user that the
CM12S update for the OnePlus One has
already passed company's certification
process and that the roll out is expected
to begin within next few days. Notably,
the CM12S update for the OnePlus One
was supposed to roll out by March 30,
while the company's own custom ROM
based on Android 5.0 Lollipop -
OxygenOS - was supposed to roll out on
March 27. The company in the first week
of April released the OxygenOS custom
ROM for users to download and flash
onto their OnePlus One smartphones.
