Cyanogenmod

I can't believe all the negative comments about CM these days. Especially CM11. Sure, sure not every device is supported. That's why I dropped LG and HTC phones to go with a Nexus 4. I'm looking forward to flashing the M2 release when I get a chance.

But come on, almost every custom ROM is based at least partly on CM!

And the complaints about spyware and CM being in Google's pocket. Well, yup, Android is Google's baby. So it makes sense that the developers who make the best, most stable custom ROM out there (in my opinion) would have a relationship with Google.

CM is hands down, bar none, the best custom ROM. Everything works. I don't know how many other rooms I've tried on multiple phones, and it's always the same story: sms doesn't work, 3D doesn't work, texts don't receive, wifi doesn't work, 4G doesn't work, on and on. Sure, maybe it's not bleeding edge, but most enhancements are cosmetic right now anyway. I need my phone to work! Every time! That's why the original Windows smartphones were so locked down. It's for safety and reliability.

Spyware? Please. There is only the illusion of security on electronic systems. If you want security, drop off the grid. Besides, why does anyone put anything on the Internet if not to have it looked at?
