CyanogenMod [ saɪ.'æn.oʊ.dʒɛn.mɒd ] ( CM ) is a set Aftermarket - firmware or operating system for a range of smartphone - and tablet models . It is a derivative of the free operating system Android developed by Google , which was created and maintained by the Android community , including by the eponymous developer Cyanogen (Steve Kondik). CyanogenMod promised additional functions and improvements in performance , security and stability for the supported devices compared to the supplied firmwares . With more than 50 million users (as of August 2015), it was the most popular customized or community-based Android derivative .

The further development was discontinued in December 2016. The direct successor is LineageOS .

features

CyanogenMod has a number of differences from Android:

CyanogenMod supported a large number of smartphones and tablets. Some of them were still supported and provided with new versions even if the manufacturer of the device stopped updating them.

Compatibility with Android

Software compatibility with Android was sought. All community developers who wanted to port CyanogenMod to a new device were encouraged to check the compatibility of their ports using the Android Compatibility Test Suite . Portings that pass the tests of the Compatibility Test Suite are considered compatible with all Android apps.

Due to licensing difficulties, CyanogenMod was delivered without the proprietary Google apps such as Google Play or Google Maps . Some of the functions could be replaced by free alternatives such as F-Droid as an app store . It was also possible to install the Google Apps in CyanogenMod at a later date. Some third-party applications could not run without the Google Apps, e.g. B. if they use special functions of these apps such as payment functions for the Google Playstore.

Development history

Shortly after the introduction of the HTC Dream mobile phone model in September 2008, a method was found to gain comprehensive administrative access (root access) to the Android Linux subsystem. This development allowed along with the open source nature of the operating system Android , the arbitrary changing and Neueinrichten (or new install ) the firmware of the device. A developer with the pseudonym JesusFreke took advantage of this and developed a modified firmware for the HTC Dream. The first version of CyanogenMod, published on May 25th, 2009 on the forum of the XDA-Developers community, was based on this firmware modified by JesusFreke . JesusFreke later stopped his work and recommended CyanogenMod instead.

CyanogenMod contains a significant amount of proprietary lines of code from the CyanogenMod team. The adjustments of the CyanogenMod over Android were mainly written by Steve Kondik, but also include contributions from the XDA-Developers community (such as an improved application launcher, dialer, and browser) and other sources (such as BusyBox in the Shell).

CyanogenMod was the first operating system for mobile devices that with version 4.1.6 temporarily for the process management the Brain Fuck Scheduler started (FSO) - a change that has also been adopted in experimental branches of the official Android code tree.

CyanogenMod 6

Kondik released a number of versions of the number 6.x, code-named "Makin 'Bacon" for the Nexus One from CyanogenMod . The features of the Nexus One version included a new kernel , high memory support for extended storage, tethering (also via USB), execution of applications from SD card , OpenVPN integration, a clean system to start up and shutdown, BusyBox , FLAC support, enhancements to the phone and contacts application , optimizations to the interface and graphics, new live wallpapers , 360 ° auto-orientation and full color trackball notifications .

Steve Kondik released CyanogenMod 6 for the HTC devices Nexus One , Dream (T-Mobile G1) , Magic , Desire , Evo 4G , Espresso and Hero as well as for the Motorola Droid , which was based on Android 2.2 (code name "Froyo"). A release candidate version of CyanogenMod 6 became available on July 11, 2010; the stable version followed on August 28, 2010.

CyanogenMod 7

At the beginning of 2011, the development of CyanogenMod in version 7 was continued, which was based on Android 2.3.2 (code name Gingerbread ). The first release candidate versions were available since February 16, 2011. The stable version of CyanogenMod 7.0 with Android 2.3.3 followed on April 11, 2011. In the same year, on October 10, 2011, the developers released the Android 2.3.4 based CyanogenMod 7.1. The last stable version of this development branch was version 7.2, released on June 16, 2012. The new version contained, among other things, innovations in the area of ​​screen lock, ice cream sandwich animations, Android 2.3.7, various bug fixes and supported newer Android Equipment.

CyanogenMod 9

In December 2011 CyanogenMod 9 was presented, which made a port of Android 4.0.1 ( Ice Cream Sandwich , short: ICS) available for various devices . The CyanogenMod versions were in alpha at the time. Half a year later, on June 26, 2012, the Release Candidate 1 (RC1) was published shortly before the Google I / O 2012 developer conference. The RC2 followed on July 19, 2012. He supported other Samsung Galaxy devices. The stable version of the CyanogenMod 9 was released on August 9, 2012. According to the developers' announcement, this should remain the first and only final version in the 9-branch. The focus of the developers was on the subsequent version CyanogenMod 10, which should support all devices of version 9. A few weeks later, the 9.1.0 update was released on August 29, 2012. However, it only fixed bugs.

CyanogenMod 10

In July 2012, the developers announced CyanogenMod 10 based on Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) . As CM10 did not contain any major changes compared to its predecessor, the developers planned updates for almost all devices for which CM9 was also released. As a result, the further development of CM9 was severely restricted and later stopped entirely. The older version CM7 should continue to be maintained parallel to CM10. The first nightly versions were available in August 2012 . As of September 11, 2012, so-called "M versions" were made available regularly at the beginning of the month for the first time, starting with CM10 M1 . The first stable version of CyanogenMod 10 was released on November 14, 2012.

CyanogenMod 10.1

The delivery of Nightly versions of CyanogenMod 10.1 based on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) began in mid-December 2012 . On June 24, 2013 the finished edition of the 10.1 series was published. Among other things, the pie controls were new . This allows the control buttons to be hidden in full screen mode and shown if necessary when the user swipes over the edge of the screen. Just a few days after the first stable version was released, versions 10.1.1 and 10.1.2 closed some security gaps . The development of the version branch 10.1 was completed with the last version 10.1.3, which was supplemented by the Privacy Guard , among other things .

CyanogenMod 10.2

As part of the launch of Android 4.3, it was announced that the CyanogenMod team is working on version 10.2. The first Nightly versions were published from mid-August 2013, and the first M version had been available for over 70 models since November 1, 2013 . On December 2nd, 2013 the stable version of CM 10.2 was released. A new blacklist feature was to block certain phone numbers. On February 1, 2014, the bug-fixed version 10.2.1 followed with new language support, some back ports from the CM-11 branch and the WhisperPush message encryption service .

CyanogenMod 11

The development of CyanogenMod 11.0 started at the beginning of November 2013. It is based on Android 4.4 (KitKat) . A first version for various Nexus devices was published on December 5, 2013. More devices were added later; the second M release appeared for over 65 models.

A new addition was the ability to send SMS messages encrypted to other CM or TextSecure users using WhisperPush with the Axolotl protocol . Over time, an improved theme manager , the Trebuchet application starter known from CM9 and CM10 in a heavily revised form, new options for the Privacy Guard and the FFmpeg library have been integrated into the eleventh version of CyanogenMod.

On June 25, 2015, the final snapshot of the "CyanogenMod 11.0" branch was officially released. 23 models received this last CM-11.0 update. The CM developers turned to the CM 12.1 development. After a serious security hole in the software library " Stagefright " became known, on September 1st, 2015 another, unplanned version of CM 11.0 was released. Even after that, security updates were added to the source code of CM 11.0. However, these were published as no longer officially supported nightly versions for certain devices.

CyanogenMod 12

In mid-November 2014, the Android 5.0 (Lollipop) -based version CyanogenMod 12 was announced for the end of 2014. However, the first nightly versions were only released in early January 2015. These were based on Android 5.0.2 and initially only supported around 30 device types. According to the developers, this first version was 85 percent complete, but not intended for everyday use. With CM12, the appearance of the surface has been adapted to the new material design of Android 5.

No more M versions were published for CM12 ; instead, so-called snapshots were released at irregular intervals . The first snapshot with the names "YNG4NAO09M", "YNG4NAO09N" or "YNG4NAO0A0" (depending on the device) of the CM12 branch was published on June 25, 2015 for 22 models.

CyanogenMod 12.1

In March 2015 it was announced that the development of Cyanogenmod 12.1 based on Android 5.1 had started. The first snapshot of CM12.1 was released on September 1st, 2015.

CyanogenMod 13

Version 13 was announced in early October 2015 to coincide with the release of Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) . The first nightly builds for seven models were released on November 24, 2015 . The first stable CM 13.0 release "ZNH0E" was published on March 16, 2016 for around 28 models. The code was based on Android 6.0.1 (r17).

CyanogenMod 14

Version 14.1 was made available for the first devices at the beginning of November 2016. It was based on Android 7.1. The first nightly builds for nine models were released on November 8, 2016 .

End of the project

In December 2016, the commercial offshoot Cyanogen Inc. announced that the services and infrastructure of the commercial CyanogenOS would be shut down. Parts of the CyanogenMod infrastructure were also affected. The developers of CyanogenMod then decided to continue the project under a new name ( LineageOS ). The renaming should also serve to avoid trademark disputes. The naming rights are owned by Cyanogen Inc.

Tools

To install CyanogenMod on the smartphone or tablet, a separate “recovery image ” usually had to be uploaded to the device. The recovery mode is a special boot mode that is used to back up or restore the contents of the device's permanent memory, to repair or replace the firmware. The CM community itself worked on the widespread ClockworkMod recovery . There is also a so-called CyanogenMod installer for some devices . This was an app for Android that greatly simplified the installation process.

An application called CyanogenMod Updater ( CM Updater for short ) notified CyanogenMod users of the availability of new updates and enabled them to be downloaded and set up on their own device. It was created and maintained by xda-developers members Garok89 (Ross McAusland) and Firefart (Christian Mehlmauer) and was based on Sergi Velez's JF updater . The program is no longer maintained. With CM 10.0 on March 13, 2012, the CM Updater was integrated into the CM firmware.

Program errors in a stable version (so-called snapshots) and regression errors in a nightly version could be reported to the developers with the bug tracker JIRA .

Licensing controversy

In late September 2009, Google's legal department sent CyanogenMods lead developer Steve Kondik a warning . This behavior was seen as a challenge to the free software community, which Google was actually close to. Google's Android developers, among others, were dissatisfied with this process.

The legal problem was the incorporation of proprietary applications from Google into the overall CyanogenMod packages. Up to version 4.1.11.1 the CyanogenMod contained some non-free applications from Google like Gmail, Maps, Market, Talk and YouTube as well as some proprietary hardware drivers. These packages were included in the retail versions of Android, but not licensed for free redistribution. After receiving the warning against the spread of the applications mentioned, development came to a standstill for a short time. The warning led to the question of how much the operation or functionality of Android depends on proprietary components.

Google's approach was reflected in extensive reporting in relevant media, including PC World , The Register, The Inquirer, Ars Technica, The H, ZDNet, Gigaom and eWeek.

After an explanatory statement by Google on its position and a subsequent negotiation between Google and Cyanogen, a solution for the continuation of the CyanogenMod project was reached. The proprietary components were then no longer included in CyanogenMod. It was worked out that users can save their licensed copies of proprietary Google applications purchased with a device from the firmware supplied with a device without infringing the copyright and then integrate them into a CyanogenMod installation. For this purpose a program should be developed in CyanogenMod that should automate the process. In response to the controversy, some Android developers decided to create open source replacements for the Google applications. Another group of developers came together to form the Open Android Alliance with the same goal .

Kondik pointed out that in addition to the fixed problems, there were still potential license problems with proprietary, non-free device drivers. He later made it clear that he thought these licensing problems could be solved by no longer publishing the corresponding drivers with the source code. He also got help from Google employees in solving the licensing problems.

Versions and version history

Version scheme

Originally there were four release variants of CyanogenMod, which differed in terms of stability and release interval: Nightly , M-releases , Release Candidate and Stable . The M-releases appeared once a month and were created directly from a “ code freeze ” of the Nightly branch a few days ago .

With the appearance of CM11, the versions Release Candidate and Stable were discontinued. In their place came the M-releases , which were then no longer created directly from the Nightly branch. Instead, they were managed in a separate development branch , so that not all components of the Nightly branch, especially not the experimental components, were included in the M-releases . By combining the publication variants and the regular monthly publication of the M-releases , the aim was to be able to pass on new functions and bug fixes to users more quickly than was previously possible with the irregularly published stable versions.

At the end of 2014, the regular monthly publication of new M-releases was discontinued. Instead, so-called snapshots appeared at irregular intervals . The version designation was given in ROT13 coded strings. The first two letters referred to the version number. An example: “XN” corresponded to “ KA ” when decoded . “KA” stood for Android K itKat in the first minor version (“ minor version number ”). The letter A in the alphabet corresponded to a "0". According to the system, the letters “YN” were decoded for “ LA ” (Android Lollipop in the first minor version). "YO" denotes Android Lollipop in the second minor version ("B" corresponded to a "1"). The meaning of the remaining characters was not specified.
