Cyanogen Inc. is now Andrasta

I thought it was over when issue came up with Micromax because that time also they had sent such a statement.

Good riddance. Whats the use of partnership if both of them are unhappy.

I suspect Cyanogen got greedy by partnering with micromax. If they can convince mmx to ship cyanogen out of the box for majority of upcoming releases, it would be a major coup for cyanogen

Who are those larger players whom Cyanogen is targetting? Samsung/LG/Sony/HTC?

 

[Sushubh]

Chinese companies who do not want to have an in-house software team but has capability to sell millions of devices. I do not see any of the major players ditching their own software stack to collaborate with Cyanogen.

Cyanogen partners with Truecaller to build a native smart dialer app - GSMArena Blog

Cyanogen has inked a deal with Truecaller to work on a smart dialer app. Truecaller offers smart caller ID capability to let users see the caller’s name on a device’s screen and later report it in case of a spam call.

So one more dependency on Google+ gone for Cyanogen OS. Or did they really used G+ earlier?
With partnership with MS, Cyanogen is reallt moving far away from Google.

 

[Sushubh]

google+ integration was in google dialer which they included in their builds. but then truecaller is likely to have the most comprehensive database because it is opt-out not opt-in.
