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.

The question is: if Cyanogen Inc abandoning its OS that he will happen to products already on the market and shipping the system? And above all, there there is a future for Cyanogenmod?

Google’s freshest and greatest Android version 6.0 Marshmallow is now officially announced.However, if your Android device is popular enough, you wouldn’t have to wait long to get Android Marshmallow on it, thanks to ROMs like CyanogenMod 13 aka CM13.


If you are already running CyanogenMod 12/12.1 on your Android device, you have no reason to not upgrade your device to CM13. Even though the ROM does not offer any major new feature right now, Marshmallow in itself brings about a lot of bug fixes and performance improvements compared to Lollipop that makes the jump to CM13 worth it. Some of these new features include an app permissions manager, Direct Share, native fingerprint scanner support and APIs, automatic app data backup to Google Drive, and more.

• Backup any important data from your android device as a complete wipe will be required during the flashing process.

• Enable USB debugging option on your device: Settings > Development Options > USB debugging.

• Nexus 5x must be rooted, unlocked and installed with a recovery tool like TWRP or CWM.

• Your device must be charged to at least 60% of power. 

How to install CM13

Step 2: With the ROM transferred, reboot your Android device into recovery mode. This usually involves switching off the device and then booting it into recovery by pressing and holding the volume and power buttons in a specific key combination.

Step 3: Once your device has booted into recovery mode, you need to wipe the /data and /system partitions. Head over to the ‘Wipe’ option, and then swipe the bar at the bottom to do a factory reset.
Do not use the format data option as it will wipe the internal storage of the device. To format the system partition, tap on ‘Advanced Wipe’, select ‘System’ from the list of partitions and then swipe the bottom bar to the right to confirm your selection.


Step 4: Now, install CyanogenMod on your device by tapping on ‘Install’ button in TWRP and then navigating to the CM ROM zip file that you had transferred to the device in Step 1. If you are unable to find the ZIP file, make sure to check that you are inside /sdcard sub-directory.

Step 5: Reboot your device by tapping the ‘Reboot system’ option. The first boot can take its own sweet time so be patient. In case your device does not boot into Android after 10-15 minutes and is still stuck at the boot logo, repeat the steps from above and reflash the ROM.

Step 6: Once your device reaches the homescreen, let it idle for a few minutes. You still need to install Google’s suite of apps and services, so switch of your device and reboot it back into Android. Then simply tap on ‘Install’ and select the ‘Gapps’ ZIP file that you had transferred to the device in Step 1.


After the ZIP file has been installed, reboot your device back into Android. You can proceed to set it up by logging into your Google account and downloading your favourite apps and games.
