CyanogenMod 10.1 has been a fantastic ROM from the beginning. It is light, fast, and not overloaded with features like some ROMs are. And while a lot of features is great, sometimes you just want a basic and stable ROM to use. That’s where CM10.1 fits into my life. From the start, it has run great on my Nexus 7, but now we have a version deemed truly… Read more
There seems to be a lot of misconception about the status of CyanogenMod on the new Samsung Galaxy S 4. Team Hacksung, one team that makes CM builds among many others, once stated that they may not be getting the Galaxy S 4, meaning that team will not be supporting it. And even to this day, I see people claiming that CyanogenMod will be skipping over… Read more
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woa1rsatK44 A few manufacturers have had this feature for a while. What if you want to take a photo but don’t want to try to find the on screen shutter key? Most Android devices don’t come with a dedicated camera button, which is incredibly unfortunate. An easy way to get around that is to use a voice shutter feature…. Read more
Today the highly popular custom ROM development team CyanogenMod released stable M-series snapshot builds for CM10.1 for what I’ve counted as 30 devices so far. I’ve seen reports for fewer devices so my guess is that this list has been growing and may continue to grow. I have a list below with the 30 devices that have the new M3 build released… Read more
So, the screenshot I show above isn’t actually CyanogenMod Pie, but some Paranoid Android Pie. But, beginning yesterday, March 25th, “the two patches that enable this functionality were merged” so we should see this in upcoming CM nightlies. I used Pie back when it was first implemented in PA, and loved the look of my Galaxy Nexus with an expanded… Read more
CyanogenMod’s Steve Kondik needs little introduction to the Android development community, specifically the rooting side of things as a leader in Android’s customization crowd. To the surprise of many, Kondik announced in August of 2011 that he was joining Samsung as a software engineer working on their Android products. As part of a Google+ post… Read more
Team Hacksung became famous for getting AOSP ROMs to run on the original Galaxy S, a big feat which saved the device for many. Samsung was so appreciative, they sent the team a free Galaxy S II, and work on that began. They also worked on AOSP ROMs for the Galaxy S III, but soon things became bitter. Not only did Samsung have two variants to maintain,… Read more
Recently, Koush released CWM Superuser to the world. It’s a super user app that allows you to choose what apps get root access, but it has the advantage of being open source and easily built from source without dependencies. This made it the prime candidate for CyanogenMod’s default SU app, so they decided to use it in their new nightlies. However, they… Read more
Though the HTC One X has quickly become “old,” only because of the release of the One X+ and the announcement of the One, that doesn’t make the device outdated. Tt’s still a very competent device. And now, if you’re of the adventurous type, you can download official CyanogenMod 10.1 nightlies based on the newest Android version 4.2.2. This only… Read more
The CyanogenMod team was recently hit with a cease and desist for the name of their new clock widget: Chronos. A company had a trademark on the name “Cronus” and sent that C&D. Though the CM team felt that they didn’t infringe on that trademark, they rightfully dropped it. A company that provides a free product can’t go wasting money on court fees…. Read more
