When Cyanogen Inc. was announced we were all surprised by the new way that took some of the components of CyanogenMod to go towards the manufacture of smartphones. They started on the right foot and reached good agreements to even have a special version of CM's OnePlus, which was worth many CyanogenMod followers to base that special ROM, but it does not seem that everything is going so well lately.
We don't like bad news and more about a development team that its components have been part of the success of Android in that CyanogenMod that has supported with custom ROMs when the layers of the manufacturers gave a bit of pain. What happens that when you launch yourself as your own company you find yourself with the harsh reality of being in a very difficult moment in the market. And now we know that Cyanogen Inc is reducing staff and its idea is to focus on application development.
The rumor comes commenting that 20% of employees have been informed of the possibility of leaving the company. There is still confirmation and we are facing a rumor, but there are several sources that the company is making some changes in its directive and the direction it is going to take.
Between those changes it would be the development of apps, something she has been immersed in for some time now and we know everything she knows how to do very well. In any case, as I said, we will see how it takes that new path and if we are right about a startup that we have known a year ago would be allying with Microsoft.
Now Hopefully everything goes well and that path that he took, even if he has encountered some obstacles in it, he is able to overcome them and find a clear objective where to go.
