    I never knew Cyanogen before and its hardware/Brand/ CosttoValue that pulls the trigger but not S/W (with in android estate). With my past 6 months experience with YU i have submitted numerous bugs to CM and not sure how the SW behaves. All the customization CM supporters fond of in CM is worth less for a common smartphone user...

      Look one thing you all need to understand is that. One Plus One devices never made cyanogen popular. Cyanogen was way back and we use to port it to devices that never gets official updates. It's a great ROM. And the best Custom ROM an android phone could have. So yeah, if One plus is parting way with them, it will never affect Cyanogen. Besides visit XDA developers dot com and see for yourself number of devices that have cyanogen being ported. The original Android Sucks, Cynogen is the fun side of Android. So yeah they will still do good without One Plus one because there are a lot of manufacturers out there that can't wait to sign them up.

                Cm is a huge mess, just go by the main OnePLus site it is everyday a flood of problems, all sort of crap happening because of a buggy ROM.

                  You really gotta love a CEO that responds in "valley-girl"-speak..........."Without Cyanogen, OnePlus would have sold, like, one device in international markets..."

                  Classic.....

                    None of the chinese phones which would come with CyanogenOS/Cyanogenmod out of the box would be available in India, which is one of the emerging markets for smartphones in the world, because of its deal with Micromax in India for it's YU brand devices. Micromax makes the worst phones, no reliability as they are just cheap rebraded chinese phones. So, India is not a mass market for Cyanogen. But, after seeing what happened to the OnePlus - Cyanogen partnership, I think the time is not far away when Cyanogen shows its back to Micromax.

                          Svrx, 29 Apr 2015You know you don't need a OPO to get cyanogenmod right? It'... moreActually there is a point!
                          Cyanogenmod != Cyanogen

                          In Cyanogenmod you are dependent on (volunteer) device maintainers to keep up the work necessary to bring stability to your particular device. It's not uncommon to hear complaints about CM stability in some devices, while some other never experienced stability problems.

                          Cyanogen is a for-profit company that ensures those devices will be maintained by paid professionals. It's a whole different game of insurance.

                          That's why One Plus One + Cyanogen was so attractive to those who already liked Cyanogenmod!
                          Well, now I guess they'll either shop somewhere else or revert to the Nexus line/devices with Google Play Editions, as those seem to have the best support/stability.

                            And you know that OPO doesn't come with cyanogenmod rom right? It comes with cyanogenOS.
                            It's pretty easy to find the specs of most chinese phones with google...

                              A big shout out to all those OPO loving people…. Let’s abandon CM12/CM11 altogether and flash Oxygen OS on our respective devices. Then developers can get to improve the existing edition of Oxygen and create a #Oneplus only ecosystem and push OTAs. I am done with this Cyanogen BS and so should you.

                                People bought the OnePlus One device for 3 reasons: good product, great price, and Cyanogen ROM.

                                Nobody cares about Cyanogen OS or Cyanogen Inc.
                                We don't care about Steve Kondik or Kirt McMaster.
                                We do NOT want their proprietary OS.

                                We want CM, the open-source operating system made by real developers that work because they want to.... not because they're trying to rip something off.

                                      No, you are wrong. Cyanogen is well know android custom rom on the planet. You think everyone willing to buy those chinese's crap without knowing it features and spec? Since lately those craps are not cheap, their price almost the same as well branded devices. I bet more than 50% people buy Oneplus is bcoz of Cyanogen.

                                        I guess yes initially they did brand their name with cyanogen . But over the time One plus really gathered together their name cause of their quality of build and hardware . They became their own name wise and people didn't talk about Cyanogen there after . So in a manner they wanted to gain name (greedy cyanogen ) and they decided to part their ways mainly due to arrogance of cyanogen and try to partner with micromax . I guess this would be a global fail for micromaxx as well as cyanogen
