About the brand ❤️
Cyanogen Inc. was an American software company best known for developing Cyanogen OS, a customized version of the Android operating system based on the open-source CyanogenMod project. Founded in 2013, the company aimed to challenge Google’s dominance in mobile software by offering a more flexible and customizable Android experience for smartphone manufacturers and users. Cyanogen partnered with several device makers but struggled to achieve commercial success and sustainable business growth. Internal restructuring and strategic shifts led to its shutdown in 2016–2017. Although the company closed, the open-source CyanogenMod project evolved into LineageOS, which continues to be actively developed by the community.
