Cyanogen and Qualcomm announced at MWC 2015 that they are teaming up to improve the user experience for fans of Cyanogen OS on certain Qualcomm platforms. The collaboration will see support for the best features and UI enhancements the Cyanogen OS has to offer get accelerated on certain Snapdragon processors.

The enhanced support will be available for the upcoming release of the Qualcomm Reference Design (QRD) that is planned to launch in April. With the enhanced solution, Cyanogen will bring a new launcher and personal information management apps across dialer, messaging, contacts, and calendar.

The Cyanogen OS is available on the most current Android 5.0 release and will be offered to device markers globally. Snapdragon processors in the 200, 400, and 600 series will support the feature and UI enhancements for Cyanogen OS.

The Cyanogen Launcher will also be available for the QRD program across those Snapdragon processor tiers. Qualcomm wants its QRD program to streamline rapid introduction of new devices at lower development costs for device makers. The QRD is expected to launch in April, but it’s unclear when devices supporting these features will be available to consumers.
