We have already said many times, and especially lately after the problems that have arisen around this ROM, that CyanogenMod is one of the Custom ROM most relevant of the Android panorama. Well now CyanogenMod 14.1, based on Android 7.1, reaches more mobiles, and no less than some like the OnePlus 3T, and the Moto E.
CyanogenMod 14.1 on more mobiles
The landing of a ROM like this in more smartphones on the market is very relevant. To begin with, the problems that affect Cyanogen Inc and that have led to Steve Kondik's departure from the team despite being the founder of said ROM, did not augur a very promising future for CyanogenMod. Fortunately, is a ROM that survives mainly thanks to the community, and not to any specific person, and that is why it now reaches more smartphones. A whole series of mobiles that receive CyanogenMod 14.1.
The key is that this version is based on Android 7.1, so the arrival of this ROM also means the arrival of the latest version of the operating system to these mobiles, and taking into account some of them, it is something really relevant. These are all the mobiles that receive CyanogenMod 14.1.
- Android One (Second generation)
- HTC One A9 (International)
- LG L70
- Moto E
- Moto E 2015
- Moto E 2015 LTE
- Moto X Play
- Xiaomi Mi 5
- OnePlus 3T
OnePlus 3T, Xiaomi Mi 5 and Moto E
Although without a doubt, the three most relevant smartphones that now receive CyanogenMod 14.1 are the OnePlus 3T, the Xiaomi Mi 5 and the Moto E. These last two receive versions nightly, and will likely be buggy versions, receiving daily updates, and whose performance will not be optimal, so still they are not recommended for normal use with a mobile that we use every day. However, the arrival of this update is relevant for several reasons. For starters, the Moto E stayed off the list of Motorola mobiles that would update to Android 7 Nougat, and now with CyanogenMod 14.1 would even have Android 7.1 Nougat. The Xiaomi Mi 5 is a smartphone widely purchased by advanced users who are looking for exactly a smartphone with a great quality / price ratio. Nevertheless, by having this with MIUI, its software and user experience is very different from that of a pure Android mobile. The arrival of CyanogenMod is great news.
And finally, we have the case of OnePlus 3T, one of the main choices of advanced users for being a mobile also with an economical price and for being highly chosen by users who are fond of installing ROMs. We knew CyanogenMod 14.1 was coming soon, but now is the time. This version also does not have very relevant errors, so it can be used on our mobile on a day-to-day basis. Good news for all OnePlus 3T users, one of the phones of the year.
