I'm currently looking for a new smartphone. Requirements: Cyanogen Mod support, changeable battery, close to 200€, at least 2GB RAM. Only the Samsung Galaxy S4 seems to qualify.

I got a LG G3 (3GB RAM model) earlier this year and it meets those requirements. I've really enjoyed using it so far.

  Thanks for the suggestion. 3GB RAM is great.

    Ok, I noticed I forgot another requirement. 5" at most. This is 5.5" though. :(

The Wileyfox Swift [1] meets your requirements and is pretty decent and very affordable. [1] https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wileyfox-Swift-Dual-SIM-Free-Smartphone/dp/B014UUQUAO https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wileyfox-Swift-Dual-SIM-Free-Smartp...

  Thanks, I did not see that one before.

    I really like the philosophy of Wileyfox. Good hardware, latest Cyanogen Mod, and cheap on the rest. The battery situations is strange, though. The battery is replaceable, but you cannot get a battery?

Didn't Cyanogen just discontinue their OS development?

  Cyanogen Inc the company did. There is still Cyanogen Mod the Open Source project. http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/cyanogen-inc-and-cyanogenmod http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/cyanogen-inc-and-cyanogenmod

    Gotcha. It has an active enough community of developers to keep going?
