Star Tech: Get To Know - Cyanogenmod...!!

Cyanogenmod...!!

For those of you who don't know , know Cyanogenmod is a ROM build on top of Android adding a top of features and customization that the stock version of Android doesn't have like pull down,toggles and shortcuts and themes , lot of more system settings that all enhance Android ..
There are lot of other Rom's that can do that Cyanogenmod is just one of them but i happen to use

Cyanogenmod basically is my favorite ROM for anytime i want to put a device as close to stock Android as possible.mostly when i don't like the skin... i don't like touch wiz i don't like HTC sense this is my first choice .when i want to put a device as close to stock Android.
These guys have been always ahead of the curve in development like they developed a camera app called Focal That is pretty awesome too...

Recently these guys shifted gears and started turning out ton of awesome stuff in addition to Cyanogenmod ..

there are Quirks with Cyanogenmod like any other ROM the installation process is a nightmare..
if you ask someone why they haven't installed Cyanogenmod ? or some other ROM on there device, it is because they are scared of the rooting steps or there are too many steps or too many risks for failure..and it is just not practical for people..
But now Cyanogenmod has gone fully mainstream

So it went out and raised $7million to create a better version of Android, they planned to do Android better than Google itself. Lot of people think that Cyanogenmod is making it's own separate OS but that's not true, they are using Android as a foundation and keeping a lot of Google code ,but later they are going to add a ton or new and cool stuff like they do best, making a totally amazing experience..

Just Android

Better Android...

The goal they have is competitive it's market share they want to be the No.3 OS after Android and iOS...
and they are really close they are to actually doing that...Android with it's withs it extremely difficult installation process still has 8million users who have been registered..there is an estimate of total Cyanogenmod users to be 12-15million..
windows has backing o\and finance of Microsoft and it is not growing ass nearly ans Cyanogenmod is..
so it is close to already being no.3 spot way ahead of Blackberry ,Firefox OS and Ubuntu phone OS

$7million is a lot of money for a software project like this ,if you were an investor investing $7million in a project you then you expect to get your money back in the near future but if you check out the blog posting http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/a_new_chapter that details everything ,they said that finance is not a primary concern so ..you are not getting any ads in Cyanogenmod.. don't worry..

i think that is a project that in taking off , because of one underrated reason the new installer... like i have said before installing Cyanogenmod was a nightmare it took a lot of steps..

is it unlocked.? if not..
unlock the boot loader
get root access
Wipe ROM and cache
Install ROM and gapps

and all this has the places where you can go wrong..
But now it is completely wiped out with the new Cyanogenmod installer whic looks to have a clean simple user interface to get regular people to get Cyanogenmod.. the no of users is incereasing from the moment the new installer went online...

And now Cyanogenmod has a hardware partner Oppo and the Cyanogenmod phone Oppo N1 is out a few months ago..if this continues the next year is going to get really interesting with Cyanogenmod..
