Cyanogen, the company that was to turn off Google on home turf with a commercial version of the Android-based operating system CyanogenMod, came the 23. December with a short announcement that the company will shut down all services, infrastructure and further development of CyanogenMod already by the end of the year. Already CyanogenMod-website unavailable.
In practice, this is an dødsstøt to CyanogenMod, perhaps the most publicized and talked about Android alternative to Google’s own Android distributions.
Background: – We’re going to take Android away from Google
Turnaround
This was enough yet not as a big surprise, since Cyanogen already in October and reported that the company had not succeeded with their plans and therefore had to find new plans for the further operation of the company. The founder of the CyanogenMod project, Steve Kondik, should have left the company for about a month ago.
This could have been the end of the whole project, but significant parts are based on free and open source. Therefore, you have the CyanogenMod project quickly announce that it has been moved over in a new project, Lineage OS Android Distribution, which is completely independent of the company Cyanogen.
Currently, this path almost just a copy of CyanogenMod. But the CyanogenMod team promises that it will be about more than just a “rebrand”. Not least, it will cause that project is a grassroots movement.
It promised more information about Lineage in the course of the day today.
