There is plenty of such software on the Play Store.

E.g. Rom managers such as this one. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdut...

> I don't know WTF the cyanogenmod team was thinking, non-technical people messing with CM will just lead to negative press.

I know atleast three people who tried to install Linux and formatted their Windows partition in the process. So you mean Linux CDs and DVDs should never have been bundled with magazines?

I don't think there's any danger of grandma seeking out CM and going through the process to install it. CM has over 8M installs, having a handful of bricking incidents is nothing at that scale.

Hopefully this has nothing to do with CM making its own handsets http://www.rethink-wireless.com/2013/09/20/cyanogen-aims-cre...
