Android firmware through CyanogenMod Installer. How to install CyanogenMod on your Android How to install Cyanogenmod update manually

People who use the standard android firmware often lack their functional. Especially for them was invented by an alternative - Cyanogenmod. It has many interesting features, gives access to the advanced device settings, allows you to update the Android operating system to the latest version and much more.

CyanogenMod is a modified firmware based on an open source Android. It allows you to extend the standard settings and phone functions that are not available in the factory versions.

CyanogenMod combines Android source code and experimental created by the developers of Cyanogen Inc.

Advantages of firmware

1. Original Android. Smartphone manufacturers often change the Android operating system (OS) for commercial purposes beyond recognition. In CyanogenMod, this OS is such as she thought from the very beginning.
2. Ability to manage the access settings of each individual application.
3. Super user. There are many dubious applications to get root rights on the device, with CyanogenMod they will not need, because there you are the default superuser.
4. Ability to transfer any applications to the memory card.
5. Temification. Most of the topics in standard firmware only slightly change the appearance of the device. In CyanogenMod, you can configure everything literally all: fonts, icons, sounds, animation when loading, system applications, etc.
   

   You can customize not only the appearance, but also the system itself.

6. Equalizer. Music lovers will appreciate DSP Manager, which will allow you to customize the sound of music and apply different effects.
7. Android update to the latest version. Manufacturers often forget to update the operating system, and the gadget with good technical characteristics quickly comes out due to poor filling. There is no such problem in CyanogenMod, the system is updated automatically until the last release.
8. Ability to combine settings to profiles. Each profile combines several settings that can be included with one touch. For example, at work, install a quiet mode and turn on Wi-Fi, on the street to make music pogroms, reduce screen brightness and enable GPS.

Various versions

Cyanogen manufactures several versions of firmware, and which one to choose - to solve only you:

1. Experimental - Experimental firmware versions for testing new ideas. These versions are extremely unstable, possess the abundance of bugs and only need developers for tests.
2. Nightly - daily updates, the result of the day labor programmers. Like Experimental, there are only for developers so that enthusiasts can follow the development of the project and help him with new ideas and suggestions.
3. Millie Stone is a raw version that collects all innovations for testing their interaction.
4. Snapshot - already developed assembly suitable for use. Usually, not all bugs are caught and not all errors are corrected.
5. Release Candidaty (RC) - almost ready version of the firmware. The developers are last verified for errors, performance and stability.
6. Stable - final, stable version of Cyanogenmod.

How to install on the device

If your device is not in the list of supporting CyanogenMod, you should not try to put the firmware manually or in any way that you advised on the forum. In the process there may be a large number of problems, including the complete cessation of the smartphone / tablet.

Attention! After installing CyanogenMod or any other user firmware, the warranty ceases to act.

CyanogenMod has many advantages: Advanced functionality, custom settings, etc. This firmware is definitely worth installing, especially since the inexperienced user can cope with this. If she doesn't like you something, you can always remove it.

In late November, developers Cyanogenmod. Becomed the first batch of "night" firmware CM13. Let me remind you that they are already created on the basis of Android 6.0 Marshmallow, although in the current state they do not offer any new features compared to CM12 or CM12.1. The functional update must occur in the next few months.

If you have already managed to install CyanogenMod 12 / 12.1 firmware on your Android device, then you do not have serious reasons for installing the CM13 update. As I noticed above, you will not receive any new features, but the new firmware has many fixes and performance improvements compared to lollipop assemblies.

By tradition, the CM developer team offers two different assemblies: "Night" and stable. As the name implies, the first is the Cyanogenmod team every night. In other words, they have experimental functions without promise that all this will work stably and there will be no performance problems.

A few weeks or even months of testing, the CM command releases a stable assembly for a number of supported devices. The release of the final version of the firmware takes several months, so if you do not want to wait for so long, then with a strong desire you can use the "night" assembly a few weeks after it appears, since surely such an option will work fairly stable. If you are interested in this, then download "Night" and stable versions of CyanogenMod 13 firmware can be from here.

By default, CyanogenMod developers do not include any stock applications from Google due to licensing problems. Therefore, after installing the firmware, in any case, you will have to use the optional GAPPS package to make Google Play, maps and other services from Google on your smartphone or tablet. Installing the GAPPS package is accuracy as setting any zip file using custom recovery. A compatible Gapps package for CyanogenMod 13 (Android 6.0) can be downloaded from here.

Preparation for installing CyanogenMod:

Be sure to require root-rights on your Android device, as well as the installed custom recovery (TWRP, for example). There is no other option to install CM firmware. It is better to make sure that you have the latest version of TWRP on your smartphone, since the old versions of the recovery are not compatible with the Marshmallow firmware and install the ZIP file CM13 will not work.

Additionally, it can be recommended to get acquainted in the special branch of the forum with feedback from other users with exactly the same Android device, which have already managed to install and test the CM13 firmware. This will give you a good idea of \u200b\u200bthe possibilities of the assembly itself and about the problems that suddenly may appear.

Be sure to make a backup of all data before installing the firmware. This includes contacts, messages, photos, music and other important documents and files. It can be easily done using Titanium Backup, although you may encounter a compatibility problem while trying to install it on CyanogenMod 13.

On some devices, it is possible to have to update the bootloader and flashing a radio module for the latest available versions, but be sure to install the firmware CM. Failure to comply with this condition can lead to problems with the camera, sensors. In general, your Android device is unlikely to work properly.

Step 1: Copy the CyanogenMod 13 and Gapps firmware zip files in memory of your smartphone or tablet. I always recommend ripping if you downloaded the firmware CM version and the Gapps package.

Step 2: After copying the files, you need to restart the device to the recovery mode. Usually, for this you need to turn off the Android-smartphone (tablet), then clamping the volume and power button simultaneously. However, this method is not always suitable, but because the advice is the Quick Reboot application from Google Play and in the program menu from the proposed options, click Recovery. There is another option using your computer and Android SDK, but it is more time-consuming.

Step 3: After the device is loaded in the recovery mode, you will need to select Wipe The / Data and / System Partitions commands (in the photo). After that, I make a reset of settings (Factory Reset). Do not use the data cleaning option or clean the device's internal memory. To format the system partition, select "Advanced Wipe", then "System" in the partition list. Confirm the selection by moving the slider to the right.

Step 4: Now go directly to the Cyanogenmod firmware installation. Click on the "Install" button in TWRP, then specify the ZIP file with the CM firmware that you copied in step 1. If you cannot find this file, then definitely check if you are in the / sdcard subdirectory.

Step 5: Restart the device by clicking on the "Reboot System" option. The first reboot may require more time than usual, so take patience. In case the system does not boot within 10-15 minutes, you will have to repeat the previous steps to install the firmware.

Step 6: After you see the desktop, give a few minutes android device to fully download all the necessary processes. And after that, again you will have to reboot to the recovery mode to install the Gapps package. Installation is identical, but you need to choose another zip file that you also copied into memory in step 1.

Step 7: After installing the zip file, you can restart the system again. You will need to log in to your Google Account and download your favorite applications and games.

If you suddenly installed the "night" assembly of CM13, then the firmware update to a newer version will require you not a complete installation process - you need to do steps 4-7. It will save you from formatting a system partition and cleaning data, as well as you will not lose already installed applications.

Phones based on Android OS are notable for installing custom firmware that are usually superior to the quality. CyanogenMod is the most successful custom firmware that duplicates the "naked" android interface, but at the same time provides users with a significantly more advanced range of functions.
