at comes as great news
for people considering smartphones from the Android One smartphone
range, CyanogenMod, one of the world's most popular custom ROMs, is now
available to be installed on the three Android One phones that were launched in
India during September.
The news comes
via XDA-Developers,
who report that the ROM was developed by XDA Recognised Developer
varun.chitre15. Given that there was talk about Android One getting root and
custom recovery, there were expectations that a custom ROM was in the
works.
According to the
report, the ROM is quite stable and a great majority of its functions work
properly. However, dual-SIM and Internet connectivity are still being worked
on.
"The ROM is
universal, and as such it works on every Android One device released
to date. There is absolute no need to flash a different radio or some
compatibility patches. Such an approach makes things much easier to maintain
for developers and creates less confusion among users."
Yesterday, we reported that
Cyanogen teamed up with Indian smartphone major, Micromax, to
launch smartphones using the custom ROM later this year.
If you own a Spice
Dream Uno, Karbonn Sparkle V or Micromax Canvas A1, head over to theCyanogenMod 11
for the Android One development thread at XDA to get started.
