java - Does Android have any way to detect cyanogenmod and its version?

Question

I'm working on an android media player which needs equalizer. However, equalizer is only available on Gingerbread and above, but cyanogenmod 6 has modified audioflinger to act as equalizer, so I want to detect OS version.

Answer 1

You can read the os.version property and match against that:

String version = System.getProperty("os.version");
if (version.contains("cyanogenmod")) {
    isCyanogenMode = true;
}

On my device, os.version is 2.6.37.6-cyanogenmod-01509-g8913be8.
