I didn't hear about CyanogenMod imploding. What happened there?

• detaro 8y ago
  Cyanogen Inc, the company founded to do commercial work on it and running a lot of the project infrastructure, ran out of money after some weird things like cancelling a licensing deal with OnePlus suddenly and closed. community part of the project rebranded to LineageOS

    Right. The community part - which is still alive and well in its rebranded form as LineageOS - was doing the most important work anyway (or, even if that's a loaded statement, the community part was extremely productive and still is).

    > after some weird things like cancelling a licensing deal with OnePlus suddenly just to be specific, they licensed the exclusive right to the cyanogen name in india to micromax (while previously licensing the non-exclusive right to oneplus in all regions), who then got an injunction against oneplus selling their devices in india.

  Factory images improved and then surpassed Cyanogenmod in a whole bunch of ways.

    Still no universal way to revoke fine grained permissions from apps in factory Android.
