In other news, Cyanogen teased an upcoming scramble pin layout feature that is likely to be introduced in an upcoming update to the OS. The feature is expected to increase security of phones protected by a pin lock setup as the feature scrambles the number set each time a user wants to enter pin to unlock. The teased scramble pin layout feature is most likely to land on the CyanogenMod-based OnePlus One smartphone.
Last week, OnePlus One users started receiving the CM 11S 44S OTA update, an update that primarily fixed the long-lamented unresponsive touchscreen issue.
