About 1-2 times a year , the vanilla Android operating system is internally developed , then released to public, by Google. They provide the source code to anyone who wants to download it. The CyanogenMod community, comprised of unpaid  volunteers and enthusiasts from around the world, takes this newest Android code and ports it to dozens of new and older devices. At the same time , other CyanogenMod developers start adding features, fixes and improvements that Google didn't include to the CynaogenMod code, which benefits all devices. 

Sometimes features that started in CyanogenMod have appeared in new version of official Android . And every time Android does a  new "code dump" of their official version, CyanogenMod benefits from Google's changes.

Latest  Version

Having just wrapped up the development on its jelly Bean-Based 10.2 software , the CyanogenMod team is already pushing out a "Milestone 1" release of the upcoming Android 4.4 KitKat-based version 11. For now CyanogenMod  is 11 M1 is only available for "actively AOSP-supported devices" which it excepts to have few device-specific issues on , since their hardware code is provided by Google. That means it will be accepting bug report from those devices right away and have already been tested to make sure they work properly .

SAMSUNG CAUGHT ON OPTIMIZING GALAXY S4 BENCHMARK

Popular website Anandtech has revealed that Samsung has been optimizing the Exynos 5 Octa powered Samsung Galaxy S4 for benchmarks. A forum post by AnderiF on the Beyond3D forum in June, that alleged that Samsung was over-clocking the phone's graphic processor to 5333MHz for certain benchmark, while other apps or games were limited to 480 MHz , inspired the folks over at Anandtech to investigate the issue.

The website informs that Samsung is over-clocking the Galaxy S4's Coretex A15 cores to 1.2 GHz while running the GLBenchmark 2.55.1, AnTuTu , Linpack and Quadrant apps for bench-marking. However, the phone's processor ran at 533 MHz while performing bench-marking test. It runs at 480 MHz, otherwise.

The report also mentions that Samsung includes a code referred to as " Benchmark Booster" that essentially trigger the phone's hardware to run at higher clock speed when benchmark test are run.

The whole expose reveals that benchmark cannot be relied upon to gauge the everyday performance odf smartphone or tablets, and hardware makers are tricking reviewers and end users who rely only on benchmark while recommending or buying a device.

Recently Samsung has responded to report , saying it did not use any specific tools to archive higher benchmarks. However , its statement  completely ignores the damning bits Anandtech found in the code.
