Re: Questions and suggestions about security on Android devices

Why cyanogenmod?  Is it just a personal preference?  Just trying to understand if cyanogenmod is more secure opposed to 
other roms that the apps you listed will run on any AOSP rom.

C.L.,
Install RomManager - Cyanogenmod repos are in there to keep it upgraded.

Check the roms out at http://xda-developers.com

Thanks Josh ... But Cyanogenmod, is it easily upgradeable? Looking at
their website I only see tutorials about clean installs ...
