CyanogenMod surpasses 10 million installs, future looks bright

CyanogenMod’s Steve Kondik announced over the weekend that the custom Android ROM has been installed on over 10 million devices around the world. The statistics are collected through users that voluntarily report their usage through the built-in CMStats feature; the data obviously doesn’t take into account those who opt out of CMStats, so the number of installs can certainly be higher.

If you’re a fan of the CyanogenMod family of custom Android ROMs, then you’re in extremely good company. According to CyanogenMod’s official statistics page, the ROM and its derivatives are now running on just over 10 million Android phones and tablets. Those statistics come from CyanogenMod users who voluntarily report activity via the built-in CMStats function, so the actual number of devices could be higher. CyanogenMod’s head honcho and Cyanogen Inc. CTO Steve Kondik announced the news on Google+.
