Hey guys, I'm Karim.
As paladin77 said, I left OnePlus last week. Let me know if there's something you want to know :-)
Hey man nice knowing you and seeing you're one of our friends in here!
So what was your exact work at oneplus? And what is exactly oxygen rom! Is it really a paranoid android work? Why all the delays in the update (both cm12s and oxygen) in case you know about it!? Most importantly why did you leave oneplus? And what's your next endeavor is about if i may ask?
Hey! A lot of interesting questions but some that I don't feel comfortable answering publicly :-P
What I exactly did at OnePlus is work on OxygenOS, basically adding new ROM features. (I can't say more)
OxygenOS has nothing to do with Paranoid Android as a ROM, except that OnePlus hired part of the PA team to work on the ROM, but feature-wise, I can't think of any feature that is shared by both PA and OxygenOS.
Why all the delays? I can send you a huge private message with dozens of reasons why and also what's next for me. This is also related to why I left OnePlus. It is basically a very unprofessional company where managers are all <30yo and think they know everything (age is not the problem, thinking that they know everything is the problem), and also literally don't give a fuck about employees. The announcements made publicly about release dates are made without consulting with the OxygenOS team, crazy eh? In more diplomatic words, I didn't feel appreciated enough there to stay there ;-)
That being said, even though I stayed 2 months there only, I learned a LOT, and I am very happy that I got the opportunity to try all of that, because of everything I learned.
