Co-founders of Cyanogen Inc, Kurt McMaster and Steve Kondik, appeared at the event via webcast, and Other Cyanogen executives present at the event spoke of the 'personalisation, security, performance' of the ROM.
Yu users will be able to modify icons, fonts, boot screen animation etc also Cyanogen said users will be able to edit and customise permissions of each app along with other basic security features.

"You are the master, you control your destiny, you create the software, we'll put it on your devices"
