Cyanogen software maker discontinues services

Cyanogen, a popular alternative to Android, stops next week with all its services.

Cyanogen is responsible for the open source operating system CyanogenMod for smartphones and tablets. The system is based on Android with here and there some small adjustments for ease of use. CyanogenMod is installing itself as a replacement for Android.

Why does the US company is not clear. Cyanogen did not specify any exact reason. The last few months were a few times clear that the company was in difficulty. So some redundancies were announced. CyanogenMod and its code remain provisionally still available for anyone who wants itself to get started.
