#cyanogenmod — Public Fediverse posts

Look! It's alive! I found my old Nook Color, running Android 4.0.4 and CyanogenMod 9.0.0.

Can it be updated (easily!) to something less dated? CyanogenMod seems to go all the way to 14 before it disappears.

Awww, well look at that. This ancient post about using Cyanogenmod on the Galaxy S2 has been reported for copyright infringement to Google. Along with dozens of porn sites. I didn’t know Cyanogenmod was just a hot topic! Anyway, I’m not going to do anything about it, but I just wanted to mark the occasion.

So glad I never got into this stupid hobby.

I was into modding my tablet and phone with CyanogenMod 10 years ago as a mere 14 year old, lol. CWM was losing popularity and TWRP was becoming popular. Magisk was not yet a thing back then

It was all fun until the CMod team chose the other path on that "fork in the road." I wonder where the cyanogen people are now...

I have been using LineageOS (and previously CyanogenMod) and F-Droid with additional repositories for years, and today I cannot imagine using Android packed with google services and weighed down by the manufacturer's GUI.

#FOSS #Android #OpenSource #CyanogenMod

@distrowatch

OK. Thanks. This may improve once more developers and resources are available. It is a tough topic. Back in 2015, I used #CyanogenMod on a Samsung phone. The quality of the photos was bad, and the camera often either didn't start or crashed (draining the battery in the background). No comparison to current custom ROMs.

@samsung I've turned to your #SamsungCommunity only to discover your rules are so prohibative no one posts to it.

My post *is* related to "Samsung devices, One UI, or the Samsung ecosystem" but most certainly is an individual support question. I paid way more than I could reasonably afford to purchase your #Samsung #Galaxy #A53 5G #SM-A536W

The latest unwanted "upgrade" deprives me of the ability to take MY OWN PHOTOS or FILES files off of MY PHONE. This is no *upgrade*. This is #ransomeware

WTF have you done???

I didn't buy this thing for the phone, I bought it because the specs made the A53 5G SM-A536W seem to have a camera approximating the capabilities of my Huawei P30 Pro. It didn't, but, it was all I could afford at the time.

It is annoying to be forced to try to remove or at least turn off a bunch of junk like Bixby Vision that I don't want but Samsung baked into my phone. I miss the ability to root my phone with #Cyanogenmod. But now Samsung is denying me the ability to access my own IP

I couldn't decide between

a) I'm no longer just factory resetting my #Android

b) A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, Director Orson #Krennic was into the Android ROM and mod community 🤓

Really been enjoying looking at videos of Android 3-6 and also seeing CyanogenMod videos

Looks like the #seoul #subway did not update their #android in a wile. 😅
I'm getting a bit nostalgic I think this was 4.4 KitKat or? I flashed this Android version with #cyanogenmod on my ZTE Blade 3 back in like 2011 or so.. I still have the phone, still works running 4.4 KitKat but not really usable any more.

Current installing #GrapheneOS on my new Pixel 8! I'm excited to be taking the plunge. The last time I ran a custom OS, it was called #CyanogenMod. I really enjoyed the Pixel platform, but Google has become too evil for me. Doing my part to stop feeding the data demons. #privacy

"Android" -- find the fault.
Ever heard of #CustomROM?
I know them since #CyanogenMod. Then #LineageOS and the derivatives #/e/OS and (my favorite) #iodé.

Quiero compartirles con mucha alegría que por fin logré cambiarle la ROM a mi teléfono.
Para quienes no saben el contexto, hace unos meses traté de instalarle LineageOS a mi teléfono (un Poco M5s, la versión 8GB + 256) y en el proceso terminé brickeándolo y, cuando lo quise desarmar para desconectarle la batería, yo no sabía que la tapa estaba puesta con pegamento entonces lo único que logré fue perforar algún componente que provocó que el teléfono echara fuego por un lado y casi me quemara la mano. Pude conseguir otro teléfono igual al que tenía, pero me frustré tanto al punto en que me deprimí (https://mast.lat/@autumn64/112132190494608938).

Casi 3 meses después, leyendo en foros de XDA, me di cuenta de que, si tienes ese modelo específico de smartphone con MIUI 13, y después lo intentas downgradear a MIUI 12, entonces el teléfono se brickea, y exactamente ese downgradeo es lo que sugiere la página oficial de LineageOS. Entonces comprendí que la única culpa que tuve fue haber seguido la guía oficial sin haber investigado más a fondo, y no que yo no tuviera la suficiente habilidad o fuera una ignorante (porque en el pasado le puse LineageOS a un Redmi 9A y no tuve ningún problema). Entonces esta vez decidí hacerlo a como yo sé hacerlo.

Cuando iba en secundaria ofrecía servicios de actualización de smartphones a mis compañeros, que era básicamente instalarles Cyanogenmod (el predecesor de LineageOS) con una versión de Android superior a la que el dispositivo originalmente tenía. En ese entonces (más o menos hace 10 años) bastaba con instalarle KingRoot al celular para rootearlo, ya rooteado se le instalaba TWRP, y ya con eso se le podía instalar cualquier Custom ROM, siempre borrando primero la Cache Dalvik y la memoria interna.
Ahora hacer eso es un quilombo; tener root ya no es necesario, pero ahora se tiene qué flashear TWRP mediante el Fastboot conectando el teléfono a la computadora, además de que ahora los bootloaders están bloqueados y hay que desbloquearlos, cosa que antes no existía.

Primero quise desbloquear el bootloader a la legal yendo al sitio de Xiaomi, metiendo mi cuenta y descargándome el programa (de Windows) para tal propósito, pero los insufribles CAPTCHAs nunca me dejaron avanzar y además nunca pude recibir el puto SMS de verificación, por lo que terminé harta y casi tiro el teléfono por la ventana. Entonces decidí jugar con mis propias reglas.

Ya de hace tiempo sabía que a los dispositivos que usan procesadores MediaTek se les puede desbloquear el bootloader por la fuerza usando un programa (que también es de Windows), por lo que decidí probarlo, y efectivamente así desbloqueé el bootloader, aunque aparecía un mensaje muy molesto que decía algo tipo "tu teléfono ha sido corrompido" y que me obligaba a presionar el botón power para que no se apagara automáticamente, que ya después se lo pude quitar mediante fastboot. Entonces le flasheé TWRP directo con fastboot y obtuve un semi-brick: el sistema operativo no arrancaba, pero sí tenía acceso al recovery. Para mí eso era más que suficiente, y procedí a hacer el clásico wipe y a instalarle la ROM (que esa sí la saqué del sitio oficial de Lineage), mandó algunos errores que recuerdo que también mandó con el Redmi 9A, y simplemente reinicié.

Comenzó a sonar la Oda a la Alegría cuando vi la animación de arranque de LineageOS, y toda esa frustración e impotencia que tuve la primera vez se convirtieron en una alegría tan grande que hasta me puse a llorar. Evidentemente no le instalé las Gapps.

Desde que mis padres me dieron un Huawei en 2019, y que lo tuve que usar hasta 2022 que compré con mi propio dinero el Redmi 9A, había estado atada a los sistemas privativos de Android, y estaba en la condición de impotencia que a menudo menciona Stallman dado que desbloquear el bootloader en Huawei es un dolor de cabeza mucho más fuerte que en este caso. Hoy, por fin, he logrado liberar a mis dispositivos y me he liberado a mí misma. Aprendí más que nunca con esta experiencia, y sobre todo aprendí algo muy importante: cuando se quiere algo, no importan todas las dificultades que aparezcan en el camino, vale la pena seguir luchando por ello. ¡Sigamos emancipándonos digitalmente!

#cyanogenmod lives on in #indonesia 😅

I am now proud to announce that I have successfully built #CyanogenMod (the well-known #AOSP fork) on Debian 12. It took a small amount of patching to get working but it wasn't actually that bad.

Next up: Forking CM11, changing the branding (to #KittyKat), and making some changes.

This is a real screenshot, taken today, on a Nexus 7 (2013, Wi-Fi) running CM11 :D

Have found an old #Android tablet which I'm trying to resurrect.

How old?

Samsung n8010 running #CyanogenMod 13 😱

Has sprung back to life and is charging *incredibly* slowly.

Managed to get a modern TWRP recovery on there, so hopefully can bring it up to an unofficial #Lineage.

Not quite retrocomputing, but certainly a blast from the bast 🙂

@mnl in that case I rate #LineageOS, used to use it back when it was #CyanogenMOD. Device coverage is excellent but the only trick with it is finding a stable build for your phone model, many of them only have nightlies and often stale ones at that. But the good news is their nightly builds are really quite stable.

Going to take a trek down memory lane with some of the prototype devices I got to keep.

(I used to have all of the devices we shipped)

@lauteshirn Da hatte ich schon ein #Cyanogenmod draufgepackt - Android 2.3.7 ist da drauf.

Decided to try #LineageOS on my old OnePlus5T

The phone no longer gets updates from #OnePlus and I don't use it much so thought it would be a good device to try it on being my first custom rom since the old #CyanogenMod days.

Installation was a little tricky on #Linux / #Fedora but if you follow the instructions carefully it worked first time. (Docs could be improved a little)

Phone feels fresh and snappier.

Very impressed.

Not sure I'm brave enough just yet to try it on my daily driver !

Back in 2019 when I got my #oneplus7pro it was the first time in 7-8 years that my first job when opening a fresh phone wasn't to unlock, wipe and flash #CyanogenMod/#LineageOS. And I've used it's stock #android since. And it was awesome for the first couple of years. I didn't believe I would ever like a stock ROM again, #OxygenOS back then was pretty great though.

But the #oppo "merger" pretty much started a serious enshitification process.

After dragging my feet for a while I've gotten around to setting up a "backup" phone we had around the house for my payments app (which at least for a while more will be inevitable) and am hoping to get around to flashing #Lineage at some point over the weekend.

It was nice while it lasted, but I guess we're pretty much back in the situation of no adequate stock ROMs. A few years back when I was last using #LOS I needed the whole google bloatware for work reasons, but now I think I can pull off a fully degoogled phone, so hoping that works out.

I'm pretty interested in trying out #postmarketos too, but that seems to have somewhat partial support for #guacamole and I don't feel adventurous enough for that at this time.

Anyways, I apologize for the nostalgic/jaded perspective here - and it could be a dissimilar enough space that it won't matter.

Hopefully those with the keys make better decisions than we did.

Ich sags' mal wie es ist: das ganze #LineageOS #FDroid #CyanogenMOD #anyothergooglefreeos etc... Geraffel ist doch einfach funktional kaputt. Oder einfach noch nicht da wo es sein koennte. Selbst mir als technikinteressierten Halbnerd ist noch nicht gelungen, solche Alternativen recht einfach zum laufen zu bringen. Wahrscheinlich bin ich dafuer zu dumm und/oder habe die falsche Hardware dafuer 🤷‍♂️
Bleibt wohl erstmal nur ne nette Spielerei fuer Wenige.
