lol one Cocky SOB. Feel free to talk after you make your own Cynogen OS from scratch with no relation to any existing system. That being said I hope Cynogen turns out to be what he and the company is planning.

Even Google couldn't do that. Both Android and ChromeOS are Linux based operating systems. Hell, even Apple's OSX isn't based on original code....it's based on BSD. iOS isn't any different. Even iOS is based on pre-existing code. So, why should Cyanogen be any different? There's no reason for them not to take the same Linux path.
 


By 'making a OS by scratch' I meant to build their own instead of making a advanced skin based of Android. I am all for them making something based off of Linux, just not Android directly which is already a mobile OS. It's just my opinion and feelings of disapproval with the occasional articles/quotes of arrogance I see coming from the 'CEO' of Cynogen or from their camp. Starting from 'scratch' with Linux would be applaud. Staying similar to what they are now is amazing as much as I or some people are amazed by TouchWiz. Not much.

 
If even CM themselves can't get behind an already existing similar project such as Replicant based on this so called need to strike it out on their own, then why/how would theirs be any different?
 
Any Cyanogen inc thing won't come to my mobile!
I loved it wile it whose open & especially CM7.3 back in the day's. Another app store for Android app's? For what? Google play is bad & they stick analytic to everything but it's a necessary evil. Thinks that are open sourced & good working that I use I will get from F-Droid anyway & with striped down analytics. I certainly don't need another app store for Android apps.
 
So yet another app store? I guess Google and Amazon wasn't enough. Let's fragment it some more.
I really hope Android doesn't go the route that Linux went with 15 million different variations and compatibility issues between each. We need some good competition against Apple; since we know Microsoft has no idea what to do in the mobile market.
 
As long as I can sideload Google Apps I don't really care if they make their own store, but if they fork it like Amazon did and block GApps, then they can count me out. I have no interest in repurchasing apps in their store just so I can use their slightly better than stock ROM.
 
Yep. We really do not need those 15 million different versions as Vlad said above. Cyanogen is ok as it is today, but is should always stay compatible with normal Android or it becomes just annoyance... We can already see it with normal Linux... What version to support? Easier is not support any version available... The fragmentation mean just worse situation to users.
 
hmm... this "smells"a lot like Nokia back in the day when it had the dominant mobile OS and we all know what happened.

Then I apologize for my misunderstanding.

Android is nothing but another fork of Linux. So, technically, Android has already gone that route.....

You are correct in that Android is a fork of Linux, but has grown into it's own entity to the point that it's not really classified as a flavor of linux to the community anymore. Same with OSX in that it can be essentially classified as variation of BSD (or NeXT for that matter), but has grown into it's own thing.
