CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for CyanogenMod is available in the CyanogenMod
Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to CyanogenMod, please visit our
Gerrit Code Review. Your changelog is whatever was merged into gerrit.

WARNING: Many apps will Force Close crash if you restore data from a previous ROM.
Install
Use TWRP Recovery from the attachments for now!!
Warning: Only use the recovery from the attachments to flash CM-14.0. Otherwise, you risk bricking your phone!
Wipe system, data, dalvik and cache. (For clean installation)
Flash cm-14*.zip.
Flash gapps*.zip.
Reboot phone.
After you setup your Google account, reinstall the three apps from Market in order to restore most of your apps, call log and SMS history.

If you restore a bad backup with cached settings in telephony.db in data/data/com.*.*.telephony it can break MMS.
It seems that restoring backups can also break Calendar sync.

*** IMPORTANT NOTE FOR EVERYONE HERE : PICO GAPPS IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR EVERY ROM , DO NOT USE NANO, MICRO AND OTHER VARIANTS OF GAPPS TO AVOID ANY ISSUES LIKE CRASHES AND DPI INCOMPATIBILITY ***
Upgrades
Upgrades from previous versions of CM-14.0 are the same process as install, except you do not need to wipe anything. Contrary to popular belief, you do not need to even wipe cache and dalvik-cache when upgrading between CM-14.0 versions. You only need to wipe if you are doing a major upgrade, switching to a different ROM entirely, or attempting to fix bugs caused by bad backups or corrupt app data.
