Why CyanogenMod ?


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 .
