Sorry if this is a painfully simplistic question, but I'm having trouble finding a straight answer online - if I install Cyanogenmod on my S3, are all of my APKs still compatible? Cyanogenmod is based on Android, but their website makes it sound like a completely different OS, but some screenshots I've seen for Cyanogenmod installs show standard Android release numbers. It's all a little confusing and overwhelming trying to find out all about this without installing it first. Backups just take so long and I'd rather not spend a whole day just testing it out to see if it's nice or not. Is there any real downside to using Cyanogenmod, if you're already pretty deeply rooted in stock Android?
Also, if anyone happens to know (since I haven't looked it up in a while), is there an app for Cyanogenmod that'll let me cast local video files to my Chromecast? I seem to remember a while back it was being developed but haven't heard much since. Not that it hasn't been worth the money but that was what I really bought my Chromecast for, hoping it would be developed in the future.
