Itself as an alternative to Google on Android is not an easy task. Cyanogen Inc. is in the process of paying the price. The company is on the brink and could literally change strategy and subscribing Cyanogen CyanogenMod OS. Explanations.

Microsoft invests cyanogen against google
Cyanogen OS has established itself among the most popular alternative OS for Android users. Fluid, light and feature filled pushing the boundaries of the Android experience, he has built a strong community, composed mainly of high-tech enthusiasts.

But if the OS is recognized, the company that created it failed to monetize. Today she is in serious trouble to the point that it would set up an extensive redundancy scheme according to several US media.

But thats not all. Cyanogen Inc. thinks completely change his strategy to get its head above water. The problem is that this new strategy could lead to the disappearance of Cyanogen OS to focus mainly on applications.

Reality catches Cyanogen Inc
One wonders how Cyanogen OS could get there. There are 18 months as she had just signed a partnership with OnePlus, the company was at the top. Besides OnePlus was only the beginning because later other brands like Alcatel, Lenovo or Micromax have capitalized on Cyanogen OS. Giants like Microsoft or even Boxer even made a foray into the system by integrating their default applications.

In parallel, Cyanogenmod, the Custom ROM to the phenomenal success continued to seduce. But today, everything collapses, stable economic model fault. The alliance with Microsoft and the increase in mid-2015 capital have changed nothing. The latest projects Cyanogen Inc. does not experience the same success as its other products. In lack of money, Cyanogen Inc has no choice but to reduce spending.

And as the payroll is the most easily adjustable variable for a company that is 20% of the workforce should be dismissed according to Android Police and Re / code, effective in Palo Alto, Seattle, Lisbon and India.

The bad news is that these are teams that figure pillar which will have to leave. According to our colleagues, Cyanogen Inc would defatted Community support is THE big asset Cyanogen and the development teams of Cyanogenmod.

By downsizing for these activities, Cyanogen Inc is undoubtedly shoots itself in the foot. If these two segments do not generate direct and short-term income, they are pillars of business success.

The community and the alternative ROM are the two areas that have propelled the company as THE reference of the Android ROM without Google. But Cyanogen Inc has made a choice: lose some identity to continue to exist. The consequence would be the end of Cyanogen OS to refocus on applications, more profitable.

Towards the end of Cyanogen OS?
Also according to Re / code, and its not a surprise, these layoffs would be part of a complete change of business strategy. To save more recipes, Cyanogen Inc have decided to abandon Cyanogen OS to concentrate on developing applications for customization and enhancement of the Android experience.

Exit therefore the creation and development of an alternative OS to Android. Too expensive, not profitable, a business model that is going nowhere for a startup. Especially as the updates cost a small fortune.
