CyanogenMod is a customized, aftermarket firmware distribution for several Android devices (See above for supported devices & how to install CyanogenMod on said devices). Based on the Android Open Source Project, CyanogenMod is designed to increase performance and reliability over Android-based ROMs released by vendors and carriers such as Google, T-Mobile, HTC, etc. CyanogenMod also offers a variety features & enhancements that are not currently found in these versions of Android.

CyanogenMod is free of charge, but let's face it - it takes time and effort from the CyanogenMod team to make it happen, time they could be using to work a salaried position, but instead are working on getting you the ROM you love, and doing it without asking anything in return. Like GNU says - you should think of 'free' as "free speech" not as in "free beer". On that note, the CyanogenMod team could use some beer - don't you agree? If you'd like to buy them a beer, or just thank them for all their hard work, visit CyanogenMod.com and look on the right-hand bar to donate.
