Cyanogen throws in the towel, to stop offering services – eju.tv

The sector of the ROMs does not pass through its best moment, it is not cost-effective, and that affects directly to Cyanogen, the company has informed that they will no longer offer services from this December 31.

After making layoffs during the past few months, on the website of the company we can see the following message:

As part of the consolidation of Cyanogen, all services and developments are supported by Cyanogen will no longer be supported from 31 December 2016. The project is opensource and the source code still available if someone wants to develop builds of CyanogenMod.

CyanogenMod has featured a lot during the last few years in the android world, creating ROMs from 2009. Several manufacturers have adopted it as firmware, including the Oppo N1, with CyanogenOS 10.2, the Micromax YUREKA, with CyanogenOS 11, the OnePlus One, with CyanogenOS 11S, the ZUK Z1, with CyanogenOS 12.1, the Bq Aquaris X5, with CyanogenOS 12.1, and the Alcatel OneTouch Pop Mirage, with CyanogenOS 13.1, but the history of the company has not been free of controversies related to the license and privacy.

In April 2013 the developers of CyanogenMod voted against the protection of the privacy of the user, they wanted to require users to submit, on an anonymous basis, information such as the IMEI anonymous, device name, version of CyanogenMod, country, and carrier, which data would you use to improve the ROMS. Users asked for this change in the policy of data collection, and the company had to rectify and reverse.

In regards to the license, they had problems until version 4.1.11.1, as CyanogenMod included several closed source from Google. After negotiations with the company managed to solve them to be able to move forward.

there has Not been a simple road for Cyanogen, but it seems that its purpose is more related to its business model.
