Don't know if them. That's probably part of the problem

I've used CyanogenMod OS many times, but I never heard of Cyanogen, Inc. It sounds like it was doomed for failure from the beginning.

If no one knows about it, and they don't have a clear means to monetize... yeah.

It was the first phone they put out. They've had a few since then. They were really popular when they first came out.

Oh, that's neat. I've not seen that before (and now probably never will.)

Here is the problem. The people that use CM are techy enough to put it on themselves. The ones that don't use CM aren't techy enough to appreciate and understand the features.
