CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 5.1.x (Lollipop), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
Code: 
#include 
/*
 * Your warranty is now void.
 *
 * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
 * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
 * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
 */
CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

All the source code for CyanogenMod is available in the CyanogenMod Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to CyanogenMod, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

Known Issues (regarding latest/upcoming Nightly build)
Please do not report bugs if it is already listen in the list of known issues
  • Microphone volumes need to be recalibrated. (e.g. Sound Recorder records audio files with too low audio and bad quality)
  • Some VOIP apps don't route audio properly with actual Audio HAL, so you won't hear anything. (seems Audio HAL bug)
  • Bluetooth SCO is a bit unstable, sometimes you need to switch between Speaker/Headset/Earpiece & Bluetooth to properly configure the output device. (Audio HAL bug)
  • Open-Source HW Video Encoders have a bug with Video Bitrate. Video Recorded using Camcorder will have low quality. (actually the only solution is to use prebuilt OMX libraries. Use the whole /system/lib/omx folder & /system/lib/libExynosOMX_Core.so lib. from LL Stock ROM)
  • 5GHz Wi-Fi Networks using Band B (52-140) and Band C (149-161) channels don't get listed. (WiFi Config. bug)
  • Google's Voice Recognition causes some weird issues with Audio HAL. (Audio HAL bug. Disable it to avoid issues)
  • IR Blaster doesn't work. (Kernel bug)
  • Device Encryption doesn't work. (Device Tree bug)
  • Rarely, when you wake-up the device, touchscreen will have a noticeable input lag, easily fixable by turning off and on the display. (H/W or S/W bug?)
  • Any Chinese (CHN, I9500ZCUxxx codename) Baseband/Modem reduces Call Quality. (due to forced AMR_WB, unsupported by CHN modems)
  • Wireless Display with some TVs could cause issues. (AOSP bug related to HDCP, and Google doesn't provide a solution)

Reporting Bugs

You are allowed to report bugs only in this thread. Before reporting a bug, please make sure you are running as stock as possible. This means no custom kernel, no custom framework modification, etc. If you are using any of the above modifications, please flash the rom again to get rid of the modifications before reporting.

REPORT BUGS IN THIS THREAD ONLY

  • Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
  • If it is a random reboot, grab /proc/last_kmsg. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)
  • If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log
Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. The following is a useful format to follow. Note: If you can provide the latest night/build that the bug didn't exist, it would greatly help in tracking down what caused it.

Code: 
What is your--
Phone model:
Radio (baseband) version:
CM version:
CM download url:
Google Apps version:

Did you--
wipe data/factory reset:
restore with titanium backup:
reboot after having the issue:
