As promised earlier, the installer CyanogenMod left the closed beta stage appeared on the Google Play store - you can download it here . Finally, it’s too early to rejoice - only the Google Nexus and Samsung Galaxy families are supported, as well as the HTC One ( full list of devices ).

The meaning of the mod is probably known to everyone, however, it is worth repeating that CyanogenMod is “an improved version of Android, with many new features and advanced applications, a safer messenger and an improved program for photo and video. The value of the mod is also in the fact that it allows you to install the latest versions of Android on old devices that are forgotten and abandoned by manufacturers. CyanogenMod is, literally, Android with a human face ”(via alizar ).

The usual firmware of an Android device is a relatively difficult operation, whereas in this case, with the help of a published installer, it is much simpler and consists of the following steps:

• install the installer on the smartphone
• install an auxiliary application on a computer — Vista, 7th and 8th versions of Windows are listed as supported platforms; OSX version expected soon
• follow the instructions on the smartphone
