The move, “part of the ongoing consolidation of Cyanogen,” comes after it named a new CEO and laid off a huge portion of its staff. While it once wanted to offer a better version of Android, Cyanogen will now focus on building Android OS “mods” for OEMs.

Owners of smartphones running Cyanogen OS, like the OnePlus One, will have to switch to the CyanogenMod ROM. As TechCrunch points out, this isn’t a commercial OS, rather managed by a community of developers.
