CyanogenMod Google has in his sights. The maker of the popular Android derivative will within five years to develop a free Google Android which is “truly open. Android Planet explains what CyanogenOS means.
What is CyanogenOS, and what is the difference with CyanogenMod?
To explain Cyanogen, we must start at the beginning. That beginning is CyanogenMod, an alternative Android version already actually been in development since the beginning of Android. CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project, the open source version of Android. Here all Android versions based on, such as Samsung’s TouchWiz or HTC’s Sense software.
Google develops its own Android version based on the Android Open Source Project, and add code to the official Android version to release. Actually CyanogenMod is simply a custom unofficial Android version, which is maintained by an active community
Soon noticed CyanogenMod founder Steve Kondik (pictured above right) that his pet project was too big, after which he founded the company Cyanogen. He suggested as CEO Kirt McMaster, who has big plans for the startup. In 2015 took on Cyanogen tens of millions of dollars of investment to create a free Google Android. That’s CyanogenOS. This Android version differs with CyanogenMod by banning everything that has to do with Google
.
This is Cyanogen with CyanogenOS
Google provides all popular services
Anyone may use the Android Open Source Project. However, this code can not be used without much modification. Many therefore automatically make use of Google services to make Android work well, such as Samsung, Sony or HTC. This is not only easy, you also have all at once popular services for your software. Think of Google Play or Google Maps. But to those apps to add to your Android version, you must comply with all rules of Google.
The Internet giant namely approves every piece Android software and see if all the Google apps are installed and to turn. This will allow Google to determine which Google Apps come with Android devices. Think of Google+, that not everyone uses but does appear on any Android device. In addition, should Google for instance criticize the appearance of an Android version, if it does not comply with the Internet giant’s taste.
CyanogenOS want to remove all Google apps and services and its own Android version up. But there’s a lot of time and energy is needed, but Cyanogen is a mission that can be completed by 2020. “We are making an Android version is more open and where companies can integrate their services into the software,” said McMaster about CyanogenOS.
Our Free Google Android Launches 2020
“We’re going to talk about three to five years no longer rely on a Google derivative. At this time Google is the boss, and that no one likes. With all the great myths must exist one big common enemy. At this time, that Google enemy. We’re going to put a bullet through the head of Google shoot. “
This is a Cyanogen Google Android Free
It is more common for companies to use the code to the Android Open Source Project own Android version without developing Google services. Take Amazon with its Kindle tablet, where no sign on the Google track. Amazon has developed its own APIs, app store and apps. Cyanogen sees a similar future for themselves, where they create a free Google Android that can run on millions of devices.
It does however a lot of time to get all Google services and features focused from Android. For example, think of all of all the Google apps that come standard with Android. A phone app, Gmail, calendar app, Google Maps, the Chrome browser and of course Google Play. For all those apps Cyanogen must develop an alternative.
The main alternative is cyanogens own app nature shop. This will, like the app store from Amazon, just allow Android apps can be found in Google Play. But developers have their Android apps or upload own the app store of Cyanogen. That is not the only obstacle: the uploaded Android Apps may also not use Google services. And lots of apps work properly through the so-called Google APIs. If an app Notified sends to your smartphone or tablet, is often made of Google’s messaging API.
For the other apps used Cyanogen mostly open-source alternatives, such as the e-mail service Boxer instead of Gmail . Cyanogen further example, the ability to use the open source browser Firefox instead of Chrome and Nokia Lord instead of Google Maps. These apps replace the standard Google apps, which are always pre-installed on your Android device.
McMaster is clear about the open nature of CyanogenOS: “Take for example Google Now. This is an app that is placed by Google in the core of Android. Apps from other developers who are precluded. Cyanogen like we do at companies that offer opportunity. Yahoo wants his Aviate Launcher inte ple in our system? Then that may just “
CyanogenOS, even with Google services
Another difficult story are the Google APIs to replace Cyanogen. An API is a form that allows technology to communicate with each other. For example, Google provides, for example, to be popular location APIs to retrieve the location of a device. You also have APIs for displaying push notifications, information retrieval or to merge Android users gaming. Developing proprietary APIs is a huge lot of technical work for Cyanogen, which has already begun hiring engineers to build such APIs.
When will CyanogenOS?
Cyanogen has not a release date for CyanogenOS but says for 2020 to launch Google’s free Android version. The expectation is that the startup alpha far before that date and releases beta versions of CyanogenOS. In addition, Cyanogen frequent new collaborations with services known, which are integrated into CyanogenOS and thus replace specific Google services
Among other chipmaker Qualcomm and Twitter have confidence in a free Google Android; they both have put millions of dollars into Cyanogen. However, it remains to be seen whether consumers actually want a Google Free Android. Google CEO Sundar Pichai makes yet no worries about CyanogenOS: “I do not know exactly what the benefits of Android without Google would be. Our services are now once popular and loved by our customers. “
