CyanogenMod, the main alternative to Android, comes to an end – Shifter

with the release of the first version of CyanogenMod in 2009, will stop updating the operating system on the next 31st day of December. Will be closed all the services from CyanogenMod and stopped the development of ROMs for Android, both versions nightlies as stable.

The news came shortly before Christmas, through the blog of Cyanogen, and it means that users of devices that run CyanogenMod like the OnePlus, have not received further updates. However, the source code of CyanogenMod will be available openly to any person who wants to create something with it.

The latest version of CyanogenMod – the 14.1 – was Android-based Nougat 7.1, the latest update of the Google operating system, and was released for mobile phones OnePlus 3.

One of the modifications that CyanogenMod brought in relation to Android was not having the Google services, although the user could then install them. In this sense, the startup, based in Palo Alto, has established a strategic partnership with Microsoft to integrate services (Bing, Skype, OneDrive…) on your platform.

users OnePlus have as an alternative to the OxygenOS, an operating system developed by the chinese manufacturer and also based on Android. Or they can install the LineageOS, when this exit. According to a note on the official site, the LineageOS will be the continuation of the CyanogenMod, an attempt to take advantage of all the code already written and keep the project alive, without the intervention of the startup Cyanogen. the "The LineageOS will be a continuation of what CyanogenMod was", reads. the "The fact that a company withdraw your support of an open source project does not mean that he has to die."
