| - CyanogenMod was an after-market replacement for the firmware of over sixty cell phones and Internet tablets. It is now called LineageOS. Based on the Android mobile computer operating system, it offers features and options not found in the official firmware distributed by vendors of these devices. Features supported by CyanogenMod include native theming support (also called the "T-Mobile Theme Engine"), a codec for the Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC), a large Access Point Name list, an OpenVPN client, a reboot menu, support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB tethering, CPU overclocking, soft buttons and other "tablet tweaks", toggles in the notification pull-down (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS), as well as other interface enhancements. CyanogenMod is also stated to increase performance and reliability compared with official firmware releases. CyanogenMod is developed as free and open source software based on the official releases of Android by Google, with added original and third-party code. Although only a subset of total CyanogenMod users elect to report their use of the firmware, as of 7 December 2011, CyanogenMod has recorded over 900,000 active installs on a multitude of devices.
