The beginnings of a product known as CyanogenMod were extremely modest. Initially operating on one phone (HTC Dream) firmware, it owed its name from the nickname of the first developer Steve Kondik.
Firmware since then has gained tremendous popularity offering Android users what you do not give them the manufacturers and distributors of mobile telephony. The openness of the code, the ability to modify the interface, control the clock processor, providing internet access via cable or even redefining keys – all provide new versions of CyanogenMod, reaching head to head with new versions of Android. Soon there were also available on all major models of equipment.
In 2013, a community of fans CyanogenMod experienced a slight shock – Kondik reported that wants to commercialize the project and began searching for investors.
the decision proved to be beneficial: today Cyanogen is a platform that allows software vendors to integrate their solutions with the operating system of the phone. CG creators managed to successfully break with the opinion of the product for hackers and enthusiasts.
To share its functionality, developers CyanogenMod prepared a special API (application programming interface ) called CyanogenMod.
MOD advertised perverse slogan: “Welcome to the Post-app era”.
MOD allows you to write applications that integrate closely with the operating system, eg. the process calls or screen lock. As an instance, the MOD give example. Mod called TrueCaller, seeking caller number in the database of spammers. Another example is the display of photos from social media on the lock screen of your phone. It was developed in cooperation with Microsoft, as well as another mod – enabling mobile integration with Skype.
Watching examples of modifications, we begin to understand, why Microsoft keen on this cooperation – one of the presentation is to call Cort and poproszeniu her to take a photo, yet another to save the notes in OneNote – applications belonging to Microsoft Office. Another created by the Microsoft plugin allows equipment standard camera application function resembling Hyperlapse.
Cyanogen wants to also work with equipment manufacturers.
A rather continue and facilitate co-operation, for the first phones with Cyanogen OS already formed. Created for this purpose MOD Ready program helps manufacturers to equip another corporate software with new functions using the MOD API.
MOD platform will be available in March for devices running on Cyanogen OS 13.0 or later. Developer tools are available now. Although he very much did not use the CyanogenMod, then I predict this system a bright future, its creators could first earn the respect and esteem the community, and only then think about the commercialization of their project.
came out to them just Health – now Cyanogen is a professional-looking, refined the system, and I was just wondering where the phones install it to re-try it out.
