Also in August we saw that the team of developers responsible for CyanogenMod “official” was working with version 14 of the ROM, thus giving hopes for those who have an Android device that you do not receive the edition Nougar by the hands of the own manufacturer. A short time later, however, it has been reported that Cyanogen Inc. was reducing to the maximum the investments in customization, making with that the development would be almost unique for a part of the community independent.
it seems that the lack of ability (or interest) of Cyanogen Inc. it will not harm in any way to the arrival of the new version of CyanogenMod to users, since in a new publication is made through the blog, CyanogenModItalia it was possible to realize that the ROM solution is being developed so fast, taking even in consideration the new edition 7.1 Nougat recently launched by Google for its line Pixel.
According to revealed, the CM14 has had its development of advanced much faster than in previous years, mainly thanks to the CMSDK, which allowed us to “skip” a large number of lines of code. Thanks to this, she currently is already considered stable enough to move to the stage nightly, but a persistent problem is related to permissions for access to the camera, specifically in the recording of videos, ended up doing with that she could not be released.
The CyanogenMod nightly can not get out to a device, if not there is sure to have all the hardware working perfectly. This includes the video recording. Thinking that someone might say: “Is open source, with a bit of code that fits to the whole new method of Android as” N”. Unfortunately not. Such a change must be made by the OEM for the changes should be made in parts of which there are no publicly available sources.
Because of this empasse, the makers of CyanogenMod decided to stop in the course of the next few days the development of CM14, seeking to advance the creation of CM14.1 based on Android 7.1 Nougat already available for the line Pixel. This would give them plenty of time to work together with the manufacturers in the adaptation of the drivers for the specific devices that have had problems with the previous edition, so that everything could work perfectly.
Unfortunately, there’s not any forecast for the first ROMs nighly of the CM14.1 to be made available, mainly due to the imposition of many manufacturers do not release firmware for their devices. Still, the developers are hoping that based on the code AOSP it is possible to create something minimally stable and allow for the operation of all of the basic tools of the apparatus, thus giving a survival rate for those abandoned by their companies.
While the development of CM14 is stopped, and the CM14.1 still does not come out, it will be necessary to settle for the CM13 already available for some time in nightly to a large number of models, either official or through ports made by independent developers in forums like XDA-Developers.
