CyanogenMod for android phones

While there are many mods or custom roms out there for Android, being the nature of open source platforms.  CyanogenMod is by far the most used and supported that we have found.

Some of the great features that this ROM has are:

• Lockscreen Gestures – Gestures is the ability to “draw” out anything you wish onto your lock screen which will then launch an application or phone activity that you associated with that action.

• Phone Goggles – Phone Goggles provides to the end user the ability to filter its outgoing communications and avoid any unwilling call or SMS to be sent.

• Open VPN – With OpenVPN, you can: tunnel any IP sub network or virtual ethernet adapter over a single UDP or TCP port, configure a scalable, load-balanced VPN

• Incognito Mode – For times when you want to browse in stealth mode, CyanogenMod offers the incognito browsing mode.  What this does is not save browsing to your history and deletes cookies after leaving incognito.

• Themes Support – Theme manager lets you build a single apk that can theme the ENTIRE system.

• DSP Equalizer – Gives enhanced sound processing capabilities. A simple application called DSPManager is provided to adjust the new audio parameters such as bass boost
