The CyanogenMod project is easily the biggest and most-used custom Android ROM out there. But a series of poor decisions has basically sunk the corporate spin-off Cyanogen Inc., and that failure is also sinking the tools that the original open-source project has built up. Some of the original CyanogenMod team announced earlier today that they’ll continue their work for community-created Android device ROMs under a new banner, Lineage OS.
Lineage, a fork of the current open-source code, is still in the formation phase.
