CyanogenMod downloaded 10 million times as it begins to go legit
12/23/2013 1:01:00 PM

Though CyanogenMod has gotten plenty of ink lately for its Oppo N1 hookup and Google Play approval, it's still first and foremost a modding outfit. In fact it just marked 10 million downloads of its custom Android ROMs, according to its latest stats. That marks a lot of folks wanting to un-skin some models, or give others like Samsung's Galaxy S (shown above) new life. That model, along with the Galaxy SII and SIII were the most popular devices to mod, a reflection of their popularity and perhaps users' disdain for TouchWiz. It helps that you can now skip difficult command-line installs, thanks to OTA updates and new desktop and mobile apps. Now if you'll excuse us, we're going to install CyanogenMod's Android 4.2.2 ROM on our Galaxy S -- a device officially unsupported since the Gingerbread era.
