This is a weird one : Google has just slap Cyanogen , Divine of the large and most successful Android ROM mod around , with a cease - and - desist letter . But Google ’s reasoning does n’t make any sense , and we ’re inquire what their game is .
See , Google ’s cease - and - desist specifically submit that Cyanogen should stop reach around Google ’s closed - root apps like Google Maps , Google Talk and Gmail , because those are only suppose to be used on Google Experience Android devices like the G1 and MyTouch 3G. That makes sense , except for one matter : Cyanogen only works on the exact twist those closed - source apps were designed for , like , well , the G1 and MyTouch 3G. So what ’s the point of trying to halt Cyanogen ?
Engadget evoke that peradventure Google just want to discourage rooting of their equipment in ecumenical , which seems awfully contrary to the Android open - source philosophy . accuracy is , we have no idea why Google would want to discontinue a roaring and well - received modder , but Cyanogen says he ’s prove to give up some communicating with the enceinte gm , so hopefully we ’ll get an account before long .
