It has only been 11 days since CyanogenMod announced that devices with CM9 support are likely to be supported with CM10. From CyanogenMod’s Google+, “Our goal is to release a stable CM 9.0.0 (and any needed .1’s). After that, we will work on CM7 and CM10 only. As stated above, CM9 devices are highly likely to get CM10, so maintaining a separate class of… Read more
Samsung has released full source code for the AT&T Galaxy Note Ice Cream Sandwich update, and as soon as they did, the CyanogenMod team start pushing out nightlies for the phone. That’s incredibly fast, and lucky for AT&T Note users. Remember: nightlies are not stable releases, and may have many problems. Also, either the developers nor DroidDog are… Read more
The CyanogenMod team announced this Wednesday morning CM9 support for three new devices. These devices include the three non-encrypted bootloader US Samsung Galaxy S III variants.

First of all, I want to get this out of the way: We at DroidDog do not encourage rooting or modding your phone, and if you are inclined to do so, do it at your own risk. But if you’re already rooted, this article may be for you. At LifeHacker, they have composed a list of the 5 best Android ROMs compiled by their readers. And these do seem to be the… Read more
For anyone familiar with the world of rooting and custom ROMs, it is commonly known that most ROMs like CyanogenMod don’t offer some of the features that overlays like Sense or TouchWiz do. These can be a variety of things, from maybe small tweaks in the messaging screen to an overhaul of the lockscreen. Either way, most of these are not available on many… Read more
While the Theme Engine was an integral part of the CyanogenMod 7 experience, it has been strangely absent from CM9 nightlies. Fortunately, they’ve reintroduced it, all spruced up for Ice Cream Sandwich. Now switching themes is as easy as opening an app and pressing one button. Themes are also in the convenient form of installable APKs. The whole system… Read more
The Galaxy Note is half phone, half tablet. With its massive 5.3″ 800×1280 screen, it needs an operating system that can really take advantage of all that glorious space. Unfortunately, it’s running Gingerbread. Yes, Samsung promised an update sometime this year. And yes, there are Ice Cream Sandwich leaks out there, but they are all TouchWiz based. So… Read more
CyanogenMod 9 is coming along at a nice clip, and there are plenty of people out there eagerly anticipating getting their mitts on the popular ROM for their device.
