What is Cyanogenmod?

What is Cyanogenmod?


Cyanogenmod is a variant of Vanilla Android (aka Plain ol' Great Android) Sometimes you can't get a purely made version of Android for your device, so you go with the next best; Cyanogenmod.
Cyanogenmod also adds in a few of their own tools, but not much to worry about, its still some of the purest Android experiences. Cyanogenmod also includes its very own kernel with their ROMS. The Current CM being worked on is Cyanogenmod 11 (4.4.2 Kitkat). The stable build for most devices right now is Cyanogenmod 10.2 (which is 4.3 Jellybean) I'll say it once, I believe that Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 is actually one of the very best created right now, with the best stability. (4.2.2 Jellybean)
However you can install any Cyanogenmod you want for your device right now, and use the Cyanogenmod Updater to either download the newest nightly builds, or download the newest stable builds.
Cyanogenmod helps you get the best performance from your device, with its very own kernel, and cut down on the bloatware. A stock rom will be around 1-2GB in file size, while Cyanogenmod is actually around 130MB-200MB, a huge difference.
So all in all, I encourage you to check out this awesomeness.

What is Android?

What is Android? Android is a Free Open Source Operating system, mostly seen on mobile devices these days such as smart phones, tablets, and is the base Operating system behind the Kindle fire, & Nook Color. It is safe to say Android is built upon Linux. When you hear of "Linux" you think of Ubuntu immediately if you're a novice, or "noob" with the Linux operating system. Well though Ubuntu is built upon Linux, and is commonly used on any machine using it, but it isn't what linux is. Linux is basically a terminal/operating system like you would say DOS is. Linux is basically a Unix clone, which is what Mac OS X is built upon. Linux is free, and if you ever payed for it, demand a refund, but don't get yourself in danger over it! (lol) So from this, we know Linux is just basically the background software, which runs all the commands it needs to, to give you a functioning GUI (Graphical User Interface) for easier ways to use ...

LikeWise S6? Will it be a Thing?

By
LikeWise S6? Will it be a Thing? Hopefully! I mean its very possible, for the Galaxy S3, and S4. I have not gotten ahold of a Galaxy S5 yet (Send me one I'll do it, thanks!) What this will consist of, again is bringing the look, the UI, and just the smoothness of the device to your older Galaxy device. Which is a new life for the older gen devices right? LikeWise S5 was such a huge hit for the Galaxy S3, I would love to participate in a new ROM, aside from my LG G2 work. Anyways I really want to do this! and I will! for any device I can, if you want to donate a device to me, for any development, I will definitely follow up on your wishes! Thanks everyone for reading this short :) AndroidGuruGuy

HTC One, US Carriers, to Receive 4.4 Kitkat Update!

HTC One, US Carriers, to Receive 4.4 Kitkat Update! The HTC one, the ONE HIT WONDER Android Phone of 2013 will be receiving Android 4.4 Kitkat. This is great news because 4.4 is the newest Android Operating system version out there (for those of you who did not know) and so with Kitkat, this phone will be good as new again! The HTC One recently has gotten Sense 5, will this Kitkat rom be bare, or have Sense... 6?? Who knows. Exciting as that is, when all phones finally get 4.4, I'm sure Android will have something new out like 4.6 or 5.1 I don't know, they seem to move very fast, but at least you're able to get the Operating system upgrades via Cyanogenmod. HTC One has the Beats audio built in, and with root on your own device you're able to get ahold of the beats audio mod engine (How cool?) It would be really good to have an HTC One, with Stock Google Android, but I doubt HTC would let that happen through OTA updates (Over The Air) Android Guru Guy; Dayto...
