CyanogenMod popularity fortified – CM7 now runs on 200,000 devices

If you have an Android device and if you have rooted, flashed or abused it in any other sort of warranty-voiding capers, I am sure you would have heard about CyanogenMod and their awesome mods.  A quick look at our ROMs section will reveal how popular their mods are and the alacrity with which updates are pushed out, shaming any decent phone manufacturer mulling over update releases.  The dev group’s latest build, CM7, based on Android 2.3.3 has recently crossed the 200,000 marker in downloads, currently at just a bit above 219,000  – the figure will necessarily shoot up if add up older ROMs, the CM6 and CM5.  That’s not all, CyanogenMod now officially supports more than 30 devices spread across all major Android phone manufacturers and the list is only growing.

This is definitely a huge achievement by the Android developer community in general and a very big nod to the CyanogenMod group and its members.  All we can say is thank you and keep the good work going – you guys have truly transformed our phones.
