Microsoft and Cyanogen have an on-going partnership that brings a number of apps, including Skype and Cortana, in Android ROMs, and now this collaboration is going one step forward with the introduction of mods in version 13.1 for OnePlus One.
As Cyanogen’s blog post explains, “Mods are your favorite features, right where you expect them”.
Furthermore, this implementation makes it possible to switch from a voice to a video call in just a second with the press of a button.
The Cortana mod has new features added in this update.
Though Cyanogen and OnePlus have had a rocky past we find that the newest MOD ready update is making its way to OnePlus devices.
To enable a Mod on the lock screen, users have to go the settings, tap on Lock Screen, Select Lock Screen Mods, and then tap on the mod of choice. The Cortana mod also now is available via the lock screen, enabling Cortana to work without a user having to unlock a device. It includes mods for Skype, OneNote, Microsoft Hyperlapse and an updated Cortana mod. The update has arrived in India and is rolling out to other parts of the world as well.
For instance, Twitter is integrated in the lock screen, but not in the conventional widget or notification sense. Once the selfie is snapped, you can quickly review the photo and easily share it right from the film strip on the phone. Another mod for Cortana lets you control the camera with your voice. Moreover, the Cyanogen contacts app will let you search, see and call your Skype contacts straight from the contact card.
Users can search, set reminders, etc via the Cortana Mod from the Lock-screen itself. Convenience extends even further as you can also use the Skype Out feature from the dialer and even buy credits, so you can have one consistent Phone experience.
The new OneNote mod makes note-taking simple and intuitive.
