Why Cyanogen wants Google to leave Android

Kirt Mcmaster, Cyanogen's CEO has plans to take over Android from Google so that the OEM and the third party developers can integrate their services better. Cyanogen has plans to do so within the next 3-5 years.






Cyanogen plans to take away Android from Google because Cyanogen wants Android to be completely open platform down to its core so that more third party developers can create highly integrated applications and services for the platform.The CEO envisions may no longer have to rely on Google to develop and deliver core operating system elements. These developers then could just develop their features and designs on their own with Cyanogen running the game.





Kirt Mcmaster also revealed plans that Cyanogen is building its own App-Store ad native app ecosystem.This new App-Store by Cyanogen will be available within the next 18 months.

It wouldn't be a big jump to say that in the next 5 years or so Cyanogen may take a different path than Google and may take the Android development to a more oriented level. The developer community of the Android is concerned over the fact that since Cyanogen is a venture funded company, the original ethos of this community project may deviate from it.
