CyanogenMod Installer available now in Play Store to help you flash your phone

CyanogenMod has just launched its installer app in the Play Store to make installing its custom firmware easier for the average user. The app requires companion desktop software which is available to download on Windows PCs for free. After installing and going through a few basic instructions related to turning on USB debugging and the like, you'll be pointed to its get.cm website to download the desktop software to initiate the install.

You'll still need a Windows PC (running Vista or later) and a good USB cable to get your phone flashed with CyanogenMod, which adds another wrinkle of complication to the process. The combination of apps on your phone and computer should make it pretty simple though, provided your phone is on the list of compatible devices.

Although the app doesn't do a whole lot on its own, you can grab it from the Google Play Store if you're willing to also download the software on your PC and move through the process to bring CM to your device.
