Well that didn't take long. Google has asked Cyanogen Inc. to remove its alternative Android ROM installer app from the Play store.
Cyanogen raised $7 million from Benchmark Capital back in September to turn its geek-beloved aftermarket version of Android into a mainstream flavour of the platform - with the ultimate aim of using an Android variant to compete with standard Android (and iOS) for consumers' attention.
To kick off its mainstream market targeting effort, Cyanogen released an installer app for its CyanogenMod earlier this month - to make it easier for less tech savvy Android users to flash the ROM on their devices.
