What We Use: The Apps, Tools, Devices, And Other Stuff Cameron Can't Do Without

Posted by Cameron Summerson in What We Use Series

Last Updated: September 24th, 2012

Last week, we gave you a glimpse into what David uses: his favorite gadgets, accessories, apps, and all the other tech junk that he doesn't go a day without. Now it's my turn. With this series, you'll see how different each member of the AP team is when it comes to how we use our gear, which is one of the best things about Android: it's versatile.

Since David's already done the legwork of explaining what "What we use" is all about, I'm just going to jump right in.

What am I carrying around?

Phone: Samsung Galaxy Nexus

What it's running: CyanogenMod 10 Nightlies with ClockworkMod Touch Recovery

I love my Galaxy Nexus.

First CyanogenMod 10 Nightly Officially Arrives For The Tegra 3 One X

Posted by David Ruddock in Development, HTC, Jelly Bean 4.1, News, One X (Endeavor)

CyanogenMod 10 nightlies have finally landed for the international version of HTC's One X, and you can download the first build right here. As the owner of such a One X, I find myself particularly interested in this bit of news, because I'm rather curious how much better this phone will be running stock[-ish] Jelly Bean. The One X is a truly fantastic piece of hardware, but its software has always left something to be desired, especially after you've lived with Sense 4.0 for a few months.

Hit up the source link to download the latest build now. And don't forget to back up before you flash - nightly builds can be a bumpy ride, especially early in the release cycle.

Official CyanogenMod 10 Nightlies Arrive For The Galaxy Note (International And AT&T)

Posted by Cameron Summerson in AT&T, Galaxy Note, News

While many people are patiently waiting for the Note II to hit the streets, the CM team has been working to bring the latest Android build to the original Note variants. CM10 has actually been available for the AT&T Note for a few days now, but the first nightly for the international variant just showed up.

Definition: A "nightly" is a bleeding edge release that is built on a daily basis, usually at night after a full day's worth of new code has been committed.

It could oftentimes be unstable and not properly tested, lacking any changelogs, but eventually evolving into alphas, betas, release candidates, and finally stable releases.

[Screenshots] CyanogenMod Doubles Down On Core Android Functionality, Adds Stopwatch And Timer To Stock Clock App

Posted by Eric Ravenscraft in Applications, News

Part of the fun of custom ROMs is seeing how devoted developers improve upon the stock Android experience. Yesterday, we saw a fantastic example in the graphing calculator that's been released to the Play Store and will soon be integrated into CM10. Now, the team is bringing a new improvement to the stock clock app: stopwatch and timer features.

^{Screenshots taken during development. Actual features may appear different (in fact, almost certainly in the case of the left shot).}

The stopwatch and timer features have already been merged. They may not be rolled out to the nightlies just yet, as we tried out the most recent build and were unable to find them.

CyanogenMod Announces New Monthly M-Series Releases, Begins By Offering Up CM10 M1 For Select Devices

Posted by Eric Ravenscraft in Development, News

Tonight, when everyone else is sleeping, the folks over at CyanogenMod are hard at work, as always. The team just announced a brand new addition to the slew of CM releases: M-Series. From now on (provided the community approves), the team will begin rolling out builds that are "a bit more stable" at the beginning of every month. Prior to this initial release of CM10-M1, the group did a "soft freeze of the codebase" in an attempt to stabilize the builds, so these should be more reliable than your average release.

Here's the list of devices that builds are currently available for:

Galaxy Nexus GSM (maguro)

Galaxy Nexus VZW (toro)

Galaxy Nexus Sprint (toroplus)

Galaxy S2 GT-I9100G (i9100g)

Galaxy S (galaxysmtd)

Galaxy S B (galaxysbmtd)

Captivate (captivatemtd)

Galaxy S3 Sprint (d2spr)

Galaxy S3 VZW (d2vzw)

Galaxy S3 AT&T (d2att)

Galaxy S3 TMO (d2tmo)

Galaxy S3 US Cellular (d2usc)

Nexus S (crespo)

Nexus S 4G (crespo4g)

Galaxy Note AT&T (quincyatt)

Google Nexus 7 (grouper)

Sony Xperia Acro S (hikari)

Sony Xperia S (nozomi)

As always, nightlies will continue to be available, but for the slightly less adventurous among you, this effort should provide a healthy middle ground between bleeding edge, and waiting on stable RCs for your device.

Carrier 411

T-Mobile now has an unlimited data plan that is actually unlimited, as opposed to the limited unlimited data plans they still offer. There's an Eagles joke in here somewhere.
AT&T has more LTE in more exciting places, like Bakersfield, California. Shudder.

Rumor Roundup

An unknown HTC phone shows up on blurrycam, we speculate.
A Nexus 7 with 3G might be coming.

Download: CyanogenMod 10 Messaging App With Quick Message, Notification Shade Quick Reply

Posted by Liam Spradlin in Applications, Jelly Bean 4.1

CyanogenMod's recent improvements to CM10's messaging app – Quick Message pop-ups and "Quick Reply" functionality in the notification shade – are now available for download in apk form.

If you missed our initial coverage of CM10's latest enhancements to the messaging app (thanks to David von Tonder), here's the short version: the default messaging app in recent CM10 builds includes a feature called Quick Message that, upon receipt of a new SMS message, triggers a handy popup notification that allows users to quickly type up a reply, swipe to other new messages, view the message in the messaging app, or simply dismiss the notification.
