Cyanogen has been working on the CM 13 which is based on the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update that was recently launched by Google. More users are anxiously waiting for it to be released on their devices.
One of the newest features that is reportedly included in the CyanogenMod 13 version is the T-Mobile Wi-Fi Calling. The said feature will reportedly be integrated with the ROM, according to UberGizmo.
CyanogenMod ROMs have become so popular that the original team even developed it into a company. OnePlus phones ran their ROMs out of the box. Some phone manufacturers still choose them over the vanilla Android OS.
Some of their partnerships include WileyFox and the new ZUK from Lenovo, according to Android Headlines. There might be more in the following months or years.
CyanogenMod 13.0 will obviously include the Android 6.0 Marshmallow features. One of which is the highly-anticipated Doze feature, which allows the user to save more battery power by hibernating apps that are not necessary at the moment.
T-Mobile Wi-Fi Calling, on the other hand, is readily available on some of the carrier's phones. However, other phones do not support the feature. With the feature baked in CM 13, more users will be able to utilize it.
How did the news come out? CyanogenMod's own Roman Birg posted a screenshot, which can be seen on Phone Arena that features the T-Mobile Wi-Fi Calling toggle on the quick drop down menu in between the Do Not Disturb and the Airplane Mode toggle. It is also above the Flashlight toggle.
The inclusion was made possible using the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) and the Cyanogen team's own work of magic. Their development started a couple of weeks ago.
Unfortunately the CyanogenMod 13 or CM 13 has no release date yet. There is no certainty on when the nightlies and snapshots of the customized ROM will surface.
