LineageOS: The Future of Custom Rom?


source: http://lineageos.org/Yes-this-is-us/

Hello Internet,

There was quite a turmoil in the custom ROM realm in the past couple of months, the torch bearer of the custom ROM community " Cynogen -OS" from 'cynogen inc' was officially closed,
the company was founded on the philosophy of making android ROM such that 'it will be like bullet right in the google's head !!!"

but  as it turns out the company has to shut down due to some unfortunate reason,

however for custom ROM enthusiastic there is still hope left,as you can see in the image, this is taken from lineage os site, you can see that cynogen has transformed itself in to a new os named lineage os, which also includes original cynogen co-founder, from his statement it is clear that the ROM's going to in existence for quite more time now, and it seems obvious also because that is what is at the core at open source, where large community builds and maintains the software, it can not be controlled by a company, and shutting down the parent company will not stop the development process.

but the initial picture is looking promising, they have already published the initial builds for some nexus and moto G4 like popular devices and they have already got some more devices on their roadmap for future,

You can check out their website for more info.

anyways the show must go on, right !!!!

until next time,ciao !!!!!!!!

Hello World..!! ...Getting back at blogging after long time..! Hi Guys, Past one and a half year i have been pretty busy with my tech career.. so if u guys don't know i am full time software engineer, and i have been trying to learn new technologies mostly in my free time, so i did not had much time to cover the tech news on this blog. one of the other reasons for not blogging is like i can sense some sort of saturation in the tech world, i mean we are not getting any thing ground breaking in past couple of years. so it's kind of dull and i am not  that much motivated to look into it now. so changing direction of the blog..mostly going forward the posts will be more towards software and day to day stuff that i learned and if something interesting pop ups in the tech scene..! Okay...then until next time!
