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.
