OnePlus One CyanogenMod phone to get a cheap Nexus-level price tag

Posted on February 27, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

Last month we started getting answers about Cyanogen Inc.’s plans to work with an OEM to produce an all-new CyanogenMod smartphone, with news of the formation of OnePlus from former Oppo staff and its plans for its One handset. From what OnePlus shared about the hardware (and those details were very sparse) it sounded like we were looking at a pretty darn high-end phone. We’ve talked a little about

My dream for the OnePlus One CyanogenMod phone

Posted on January 31, 2014 by Joe Levi

CyanogenMod has long been one of the leading names in the custom ROM community. Only recently did the group go “corporate” when they formed Cyanogen, Inc. Before that, CyanogenMod was available as a flashable ROM for devices from virtually all manufacturers, and brought unofficial updates and current versions of Android to devices that had been abandoned by carriers and OEMs alike. However, CyanogenMod was limited primarily as a second-class-citizen, since devices came with their own ROM pre-installed, which would then be replaced by a custom CyanogenMod ROM. What we needed was ...

Cyanogen Inc. recruits some familiar faces from custom ROM projects

Posted on January 25, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

If there’s nothing else to say about last year’s incorporation of Cyanogen Inc. and the company’s plans going forward, it’s that they’re wildly ambitious. In contrast to a platform being helmed by a Microsoft or an Apple, we’re seeing how what began as a side project for a group of enthusiasts can evolve into something greater when they really put their minds to changing the way we think about the software on our phones. With plans this year ...

OnePlus shares new details on CyanogenMod One phone hardware, launch

Posted on January 23, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

Two weeks ago, back during the CES, we finally learned what was going on with Cyanogen Inc.’s plan to have a manufacturer release a pure CyanogenMod smartphone – rather than the reflashable Oppo N1. The phone would come from new manufacturer OnePlus, spun off by a former Oppo employee. The handset – the OnePlus One – was said to be on-schedule for a launch sometime during the first half of the year. This week, OnePlus has been posting a series of short messages to Facebook, and in ...

Emerging mobile platforms: Will 2014 be the year?

Posted on January 16, 2014 by Adam Doud

2013 was an interesting year – in theory. What I mean by that is 2013 saw a lot of activity in the theoretical mobile market. Theoretical because not many of the newcomers who stood up to be recognized actually had any kind of hardware that people could, you know, hold and use. But now that 2014 has rolled around, many of these emerging mobile platforms have actually started coming up with some promising looking stuff and we thought, with the dawn of the new year, we’d give them a look and see what we might expect. Many of the new kids on the block can be categorized into one of two ...

OnePlus One native CyanogenMod phone due by summer

Posted on January 7, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

CES is a time of the year for us smartphone-obsessive types where we find ourselves coping with an utter deluge of new announcements, previews, products, and demos. We’re keeping you up to date with all the really big news, but the sheer amount of info coming our way means that some of it inevitably gets shuffled around a bit. This afternoon, we’re looking back to an announcement that came down the wire overnight, with word arriving of the hardware partner Cyanogen Inc. is going with for its first from-the-ground-up CyanogenMod smartphone. While we’ve been

Oppo N1 CyanogenMod Edition goes up for sale; any takers?

Posted on December 24, 2013 by Stephen Schenck

Oppo’s N1 is an interesting phone for a lot of reasons: a rear touch panel, that cool rotating camera… but one that’s really grabbing a big chunk of the attention is the phone’s special status as officially supporting CyanogenMod as an alternate platform. Earlier this month, we saw the regular N1 go up for sale, which fully supports users re-flashing their handsets with a CM ROM. In addition to that model, we’ve also known about

New CyanogenMod phone coming, new hardware partner teased

Posted on November 21, 2013 by Anton D. Nagy

The Oppo N1 is a CyanogenMod-centric smartphone but what could come next? What you want from a CyanogenMod phone might be different from what we expect to see, but, in any case, hardware diversity coupled with CM’s exceptionally tuned bits is attractive, to say the least. According to a recent Google+ post, Cyanogen Inc. does indeed have a new hardware partner. ”We’re not quite ready to lift the veils”, says the official page, so we’re still left in the dark just a bit, though ...

What I want from a CyanogenMod phone

Posted on November 19, 2013 by Stephen Schenck

CyanogenMod is simply blowing up this fall. When the team behind the custom ROM decided to go all corporate and form Cyanogen Inc., some of us long-term fans were understandably concerned – any big change carries with it the potential for disaster, and despite all sorts of assurances, we just didn’t know what this would all mean for what to many has emerged as the custom ROM to beat. Since first getting that news of incorporation, things have been moving fast for ...

Hardware specifics tipped for possible CyanogenMod phone

Posted on November 13, 2013 by Stephen Schenck

CyanogenMod has really been in the public eye lately, following its incorporation earlier this year. Just yesterday, we saw the official CyanogenMod Installer hit the Play Store, hoping to introduce new (and maybe less tech-savvy) users to the custom ROM, and we’ve also seen the launch of the Oppo N1, not just with official CM support, but also its own ...

CyanogenMod Installer app hits the Play Store

Posted on November 12, 2013 by Stephen Schenck

A couple months back, we first heard about the formation of Cyanogen Inc., taking the CyanogenMod custom ROM and trying to build a business out of it. We’ve already seen efforts like the Oppo N1, available in a special CM edition and easily capable of switching between that and the phone’s ColorOS, but that’s just part of what we’ve been looking forward to. When that September announce came, we also heard that work was pending on an ...
