Cyanogen No More Android ROM Updates
Cyanogen that tried and failed to kill Google's Android operating system is now shutting down the custom services that it provides to phones that run its Cyanogen OS as we know it and the "nightly builds" of said OS on December 31st.
Cyanogen came with an ambition to build better versions of the Android operating system than those created by Google itself, but following some technical and potential legal issues, the startup has decided to quit.
From January 2017, there will be no further updates to the Cyanogen OS, no more nightly builds, and no more security updates.
Eventually, smartphones running on the Cyanogen OS, like the original OnePlus One and Lenovo ZUK Z1, will have to switch to the open-source version of the CyanogenMod operating system.
The team announced just after the closure announcement by Cyanogen.
CyanogenMod team pays respects to the community as it served for more than eight long years and announced the next open-source Android project.
