HTC Holiday (Vivid/Raider/Velocity) Added To CyanogenMod Roster With First Official CM10 Weekly

Posted by Liam Spradlin in Holiday / Raider, Jelly Bean 4.1, News, Vivid

After more than a month of unofficial CyanogenMod builds, the HTC Holiday (also known as the Vivid, Raider, or Velocity) has joined the ranks of devices with official CM support, receiving its first weekly CM10 build earlier today. It's not yet clear when or if the Holiday's build cycle will transition to a nightly schedule.

At the time of writing, the build's known issues involve Bluetooth Audio skipping, hardware video playback, tethering, and the inability to record video in 1080p. Otherwise, the Holiday's first weekly looks like daily driver material.

If you're still toting HTC's Holiday and want to be brought up to speed with Android 4.1.2 (plus the CM enhancements we know and love), hit the links below to keep up with the conversation and get the latest build.

Galaxy Note II Gets Official CyanogenMod Support, First CM10 Nightly Already Out

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Galaxy Note II, News

Despite having past issues with Exynos processors, the CyanogenMod team has already released the first CM10 nightly for the international version of the Galaxy Note II. This is, of course, brings stock Android 4.1.2 to the oversized handset.

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.

If you plan on giving this a shot, don't forget to grab the appropriate GApps package, too.

CyanogenMod Now Has An 'Expandable Desktop' Feature That Hides Navigation Buttons And The Status Bar

Posted by Cameron Summerson in News

OK, so it's Nexus day. A day full of excitement and new things to be excited about. That doesn't take away from other awesome news, though - like new CyanogenMod features, for example. The team teased one such feature on Google+ last night: the ability to quickly hide the navigation and status bars on applicable devices.

This feature actually makes its way to CM10 from Paranoid Android, so hats off to that dev team for such a cool (and useful) tweak. I can personally see myself using this in a few instances: while playing games, it'll keep me from accidentally hitting the back or home buttons; also, when watching movies.

ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity (TF700T) Gets Official CM10 Nightlies

Posted by Cameron Summerson in News, Transformer Pad Infinity

If you own ASUS' first full HD tablet - the Transformer Pad Infinity - the custom ROM scene just got quite a bit better for you. Why, you ask? Because the TF700T is now officially support by CyanogenMod, and the first CM10 nightly is already available.

Of course, in order to flash this you'll need to unlock the bootloader, which, in turn, voids the warranty. It's also worth noting that once you abandon ASUS' stock firmware, there's currently no way to go back, despite the fact that ASUS makes the update blobs available (I learned this the hard way with the TF201).

CyanogenMod 10 Nightlies For The Acer Iconia Tab A700 Are Go

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Iconia A700, News

Earlier this month, CyanogenMod teased upcoming CM10 nightly builds for the Acer Iconia Tab A700. While it may have taken a bit longer than expected, the first nightly hit get.cm last night.

Of course, Acer started pushing its own brand of Jelly Bean to the A700 at the end of September, so the hi-res offering wasn't all that behind the times to begin with. The JB update seems to have brought some performance improvements to the device, as there's less stutter than on ICS. With that said, it's pretty clear that the GPU still struggles to keep up with all the pixels on the display.

If you own a Galaxy S Blaze 4G, first and foremost, I'm sorry. But, you can make it a lot less horrible if you flash CyanogenMod 10. And as of today, that's something you can actually do, and that's kind of exciting.

The CM team has cooked up the first nightly build for the device (see nightly disclaimer above), which will bring you up to full-on Jelly Bean.

[Updated: Now In Nightlies] CyanogenMod Dropping ROM Manager For Its Own OTA Update System

Posted by Cameron Summerson in News

Update: The new updater should be available in the latest nightlies (rolling out tonight). Once you flash, head into Settings > About to set your update preferences! via arcee

If you've ever used CyanogenMod, then you already know it comes bundled with ROM Manager. That's the case for one reason: so users can quickly and easily pull updates to the ROM. However, this presents a problem of sorts. CyanogenMod is completely open source, but ROM Manager isn't. Therefore, the team wanted an update solution that will allow CM users to pull the latest builds to their devices, but is still open source.

Official CM10 Experimental Nightlies For The 3G And Wi-Fi Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Now Available

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8000 / N8010 / N8013), News

Hey Note owners - ready for CyanogenMod 10 on your device? Good, because the first nightly builds for both the 3G and Wi-Fi versions hit get.cm just a bit ago. Both are labeled as "experimental," so if you're looking for something super-stable, this isn't the ROM for you. If, however, you like to live on the edge and/or have been waiting for some CyanogenMod action, head to the appropriate link below and give it a flash.

CyanogenMod 10 Nightlies For The LG Optimus Black Are Go

Posted by Cameron Summerson in News, Optimus Black (p970)

It has been quite a long while since I've heard the name "LG Optimus Black," but it seems that Team CyanogenMod hasn't forgotten about this once-powerful handset. The first CM10 nightly for the 4" handset just showed up on Get.CM, and unlike other CM10 devices, has made this jump directly from CM7.

CyanogenMod 10 Nightlies Now Rolling Out For The T-Mobile Galaxy Note

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Galaxy Note, News, T-Mobile

If you have a Galaxy Note on T-Mobile, you're probably worried about things like device updates, considering T-Mo basically ditched it after only a couple weeks of availability. Worry not, because the CyanogenMod team is here to save the day: just one week after the custom Jelly Bean build showed up for the AT&T and International versions of the Note, CM10 Nightlies are now available for T-Mo's variant of the device.
