CyanogenMod developers coined the term "kang" originally. It goes back to the beginnings of Android development. It used to mean having one's development work taken, manipulated, rebranded, and re-released by someone else with no credit to the original developer. Later this term morphed into having a less malicious meaning, and stands for the process of creating a code based of someone else's code or reapplying code that someone else created into your own code. A "KANG" therefore is a derivative work, based on the original with some modifications. It usually means an unauthorized version of a custom ROM. |
