CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 5.X.X (Lollipop), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
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. Linked below there is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts.
