Stock Android Experience

Major Android Smartphone manufacturers like Smasung, HTC,Xiaomi, Huawei and others overlays a custom interface on the top of Stock Android. The interface gets mostly developed by the manufacturers themselves and looks really impressive but on the other hand the animations and icon packs consume a lot of system memory. On the other hand Google's stock interface featured in Nexus based smartphones are simple and less cluttered hence becomes easier and much comfortable to use.

No Bloatware

Major Android smartphone manufacturer's offers number of utility apps which might not be beneficial to few consumers but on the other hand they might not be required for few. Whether the apps are useful or not, you are compelled to keep them installed on the phone as because there is no option left to uninstall them. If you actually want to get a system clean of all bloatware so that you can install apps as per your requirement, install CyanogenMod.

Privacy Guard

Let's dive into the CM's core features. The CyanogenMod offers you to control the permission each app requires.

Cyanogen Themes

CM allows you to customize your smartphones look inside out. You can actually pick fonts, sound, boot animation, icon and the entire themes. And for customising all this you don't need to be geeky enough. Just sign up for a Cyanogen account and download theme pack, style, icon pack and so on.

Interface Customisation

The CyanogenMod allows users to customise every bit of the interface. You can actually tweak the quick bar settings, notification, app drawer, status bar and the navigation bar. For example you can change the boring battery notification from circle to text or icon portrait or just hide it completely.

Control the display brightness just by swiping on the status bar hence can adjust the screen brightness in a while according to your comfort.

Sound Tweaks

A big reason for music lovers to have CM on their devices is FLAC support. Now several smartphone manufacturers including Samsung supports FLAC file formats on few selective models. But advantage of CM is it features a utility manager to control the sound as you want to. The DSP manager or AudioFX app offers you to control the equalizer with numerous presets, enable bass boost and many more to enhance your listening experience to a different standard.

Profile

For added privacy for your device, CM features a profile option where you can set different access to different profiles. For example you can set your mobile data to disabled to work profile so that it will automatically disable the mobile data network and turn on the WiFi to work. To access this feature go to Settings>>Profiles.
