We’ve seen no shortage of changes around Cyanogen OS this past year. The folks at Cyanogen seem all too happy to integrate software partners into their flavor of Android recently, simultaneously creating new experiences and inviting criticism from users who originally switched to Cyanogen OS because of it’s largely bloat-free experience. What we haven’t seen a lot of are new features and services made and managed by the Cyanogen team.
There have always been whispers of new services made in-house to compete with some of the things Google is currently offering, continuing the CEO’s “bullet in the head” narrative, but a pair of strategic hires from Amazon and Qualcomm being announced today look like the first public moves toward actually attempting that vision.
