As we saw when we took the app for a test drive, the Installer does indeed de-hair the hairy process of unlocking an Android device’s bootloader and getting an alternate ROM installed; apparently, though, the Installer made things just a little too easy. The CyanogenMod Installer application didn’t even last a full month on the Play Store, but the CyanogenMod team still says that it has seen ‘hundreds of thousands of installations of the application.'”
