The
CyanogenMod Team have been forced to remove their Installer
app from the
Google Play store after warnings that Google would forcibly remove the
app.
For those of you unfamiliar with the app, what it allowed was for users of certain
Android phones to simply
install CyanogenMod’s popular 3rd party
ROM without needing any prior knowledge with
ROM installation.
CyanogenMod removed the
app voluntarily after Google representatives warned they would do it unless the developer team complied. The reason for it’s removal, Google say, is that it encouraged phone owners to void their
warranty.
The
installer app will now be submitted to the Amazon store and
Samsung’s own Android store.
