CyanogenMod is the most downloaded custom firmware on this planet with more than 10 million downloads. Cyanogen Inc. Its efforts combined with the work of CM Community have made CyanogenMod as the first custom ROM to become the officially-released firmware for a smartphone.
Oppo N1 is the first phone to officially come with CyanogenMod pre-installed; and OnePlus One is the second phone to do the same. It all depends on your choice and preferences. Please enable JavaScript in your browser to enjoy a better experience. So What makes CyanogenMod so special? Let me count the ways. Also absent are the unnecessary bloatware you are stuck with in stock versions.
Privacy Guard lets you control which applications can get information about you and your contacts. Global Blacklist, which is integrated into the operating system itself, lets you block messages and calls from unwanted contacts.
CM Account offers you a secure and encrypted account which can be used to find and wipe your device remotely. Is CyanogenMod The better choice? How does CyanogenMod improve My end-user experience? That's not really the case anymore. Most phones come with bootloaders that cannot be unlocked, making ROM installation impossible. The best case with these phones is that you wait for someone to find a messy exploit that can unlock your device. Or brick it.
Even when you can install a ROM, you're going to sacrifice some features. As part of checking for system integrity, Android now runs what's called SafetyNet.
A modified system like a ROM does not pass. That prevents some apps and services from working. There's also no guarantee the project you rely on for your device's software will be there tomorrow. CyanogenMod closed up shop in the space of a few weeks, and other popular projects from recent years vanished without a word. The bottom line: installing a ROM comes with a lot more hassle than it once did. The time between updates reaching a device naturally and updates hitting a community ROM has been narrowing.
Before its demise, CyanogenMod was only in the early stages of rolling out Nougat. The early versions of Cyanogen were created by a developer by the name of JesusFreke but in , he ceased production of his ROM and recommended that users switch to a version that has been further modified by a user named Cyanogen AKA Steve Kondik.
Thus, CyanogenMod was born! This was the version that introduced many of the advanced features that would go on to make the mod so popular. One of the advantages of the biggest advantages of CyanogenMod is that it gives you more freedom and control over your device. You get access to a lot of additional customizations, including a built-in theme picker that lets you choose fonts, animations, icons and more.
You can make changes to the quick bar setting and notification tray and even control equalizer to change the way your phone sounds! An option to assign tasks to specific buttons is also very appealing. And of course, CyanogenMod comes with root access. Conversely, there are many apps available for CyanogenMod that will appeal to power-users. You might be concerned that all this freedom might come at the expense of security — and indeed that is a concern that some more general users might have.
So, in fact, CyanogenMod is actually more secure in some ways and comes with additional security features such as the option to create different user profiles with varied permissions.
Performance has similarly be considered along the way, making Cyanogen a powerful and productive choice of OS. For many, the choice to switch to CyanogenMod is as much a philosophical one. In many ways, it is an expression of freedom and a vote in favor of community, customization and control.
The developers behind the platform resisted and instead opted to create a commercial version called Cyanogen OS. This is the version that comes pre-installed on some handsets starting with the OnePlus One.
The option comes built-in. Turning it on is as easy as setting your phone to change screen brightness based on your surroundings. CyanogenMod calls this feature LiveDisplay. It's available as a quick toggle, but you can make further adjustments under Settings. On stock Android, the menu that appears when you hold down the power button is useless.
You get one option, to turn off your device. A menu with only one choice makes no sense. If Google is set on this being how the power button works, at least turn this into a prompt instead. Are you sure you want to turn off your device? Samsung and others keep some of Android's old options around in the power menu. These include the ability to restart or activate airplane mode. CyanogenMod does this too, but it also lets you pick which items go on the list.
Never use airplane mode? Get rid of it. Want an option to take a screenshot rather than hold down the power and volume buttons? Add it in. Make the power menu what you want it to be. Search the Play Store for an icon pack. They're everywhere.
But you need to install an alternative launcher to use any of them. CyanogenMod doesn't stop at app icons. You can alter the notification panel, the navigation bar, and interface colors.
There are many themes floating around the Play Store that only work if you've installed a custom ROM. You can also take matters into your own hands and create a CyanogenMod theme yourself. But with stock Android, there's still no way to do this out of the box.
