Windows Phone ever will probably be the success that Microsoft intended and that eternal third contender in the battle of mobile operating systems. But that does not mean that was not full of good ideas and innovative features. The best of them will reach Android thanks to Cyanogen

The culprit is MOD, one idea of the company to provide full access to the application system. Total. We were testing the platform during Mobile World Congress but for understanding why and how it works, we need to clarify some nuances previously. On the one hand, the hackneyed promise that Android is better because it “allows full access to the system” is not true, it never has been. Applications such as the camera or the phone are relatively closed to everyone other than the creator of that particular distribution of Android.
On the other, Cyanogen and Microsoft announced in April an alliance in an apparent attempt to the second to stop the unstoppable advance of Google with Android. The result is that suddenly, in Cyanogen features like Cortana integrated directly instead of Google Now OS appear. They are activated as fact. Or Skype associated with the phone dialer. At present only little ideas here and there, but the result is promising.
The best of both worlds
in the case of Skype is another interesting detail: we can call directly using the service from the phone application, but once on call , you can activate the camera with a single button. It is interesting because it implies technically access all the features of the original application installed on your computer without going to open it (move to the folder or desktop that is, press the icon etc). Is the functionality of two apps but using one

More: OneNote is also integrated into the phone application. So, if we maintain a conversation with someone at work we can point details and references (one contract number, a reminder of what to send to a customer …). The notes are saved and synchronized with the service so that the next time you talk to a particular contact an icon appears on the screen and can recover the information easily.
the debate over which virtual assistant is superior, if Cortana and Google now, is for another time but in the case of Cyanogen OS ago gala features added as “Cortana, make a selfie” is not available on other platforms. Other projects relatively Microsoft neglected for some time, as Hyperlapse are integrated into apps like the camera.
The Best of Windows Phone, Android
With MOD, Cyanogen the idea is to welcome an “era post-application” where it involves is having functionality together rather than divided into separate apps and pigeonholed. Although it is difficult to say whether is an absolute improvement overall level of Android (already apps like Truedialer that made Skype, for example) in the case of Cyanogen OS is a good idea to have access to services such as Cortana while enjoying the immense catalog applications and features Android Achilles heel in the case of Windows Phone.
Cyanogen has confirmed to Gizmodo in Spanish ” more funcionalidaes integrations and Microsoft reach Cyanogen OS in the coming months “but for now they will not announce them. If the result of these additions is to add almost any corner of a note to Wunderlist system, for example, the outlook is promising.
So far Microsoft applications are the best example, but be open MOD all developers through a series of tools and APIs. So, anyone can be integrated with the system functionality of your application.
