Cyanogen already has more users than Windows Phone and BlackBerry together

Cyanogen already has more users than Windows Phone and BlackBerry together - That the Android ecosystem is not big news we should highlight and we come back. Many new users are added every day despite competition from other operating systems such as iOS or Windows Phone.

But not only live pure Android head phones. One of the main attractions featuring Googles operating system is the ease of customization offered. This led to the creation of many Internet groups that were dedicated to create modified versions that were called ROMs and some features added or adapted from the original system.

No we are going to tell the story of Cyanogen in this article, but we can summarize it in what was a simple ROM at first, ended with the creation of a company dedicated almost in full, the creation and development of its own version of the operating system. Of course, without neglecting the base of Android itself.

Many may not have heard too much of the company and is something that can be considered normal. No television ads, billboards and bus shelters ... Their main goal was to reach an agreement with a major manufacturer that could push them further and allow them to take that step forward that would not have gotten otherwise.

The choice was, interestingly, a newcomer to the industry. OnePlus introduced its first phone, the One (pun intended) with the latest version of Cyanogen installed by default. It is true that in turn had also reached other agreements with different manufacturers, but the level of impact of the arrival of OnePlus market also served to make you talk, and much, Cyanogen.

From there begins a host of weeks talking about the benefits of the so called Flagship Killer and the appearance of some problems at both the hardware and software level, ie Cyanogen. Good support, continuous updates and in general, a good response from the company that did speak very well (like years ago is already doing with its own ROMs) Cyanogen.

The current situation leaves us with a somewhat different situation, with a OnePlus has decided to cut its collaboration with Cyanogen and submit your own customization of Android called OxygenOS. Far from being an obvious problem, in recent hours an employee of the company has published a picture in which he announced that Cyanogen has more active users than Windows Phone and Blackberry, demonstrating their good health.

Say you have more Blackberry users would have been a milestone within reach of very few few years ago, but the truth is that the Canadian company continues with its particular plummeting, so it is not something to highlight. What does surprise is seen as a customized version of Android you are also able to overcome users of Windows, an operating system that has been growing slowly over time and that has settled into a comfortable third place behind Android and iOS.

What should be the next step for Cyanogen? Well, I personally think that if you have the ability to support more devices, would normally continue the policy of seeking agreements with manufacturers. Do not forget that you are competing with the very Google, so if you want to reach a much larger mass of users, will have to reach them directly with the phone.
