CyanogenMod Nightlies Hot Off The Presses For Motorola RAZR (GSM), HTC Incredible 4G, And LG Spectrum; M2 Releases Rolling Out, Too

Posted by Cody Toombs in Incredible 4G, News, RAZR / RAZR MAXX, Spectrum

Today is a big day for the CyanogenMod team. First, official nightlies are rolling out for three more devices: the LG Spectrum (vs920), HTC Incredible 4G (fireball), and the GSM Motorola RAZR (umts_spyder). Each of these dual-core phones can start enjoying CM 10.1 right away. For the uninitiated, CM 10.1 is based on stock Android 4.2.x. If you've decided to chuck those manufacturer skins and older versions of Android, head over to get.cm and start downloading.

That's not the only news for CyanogenMod today - the M2 release is also upon us. Starting with CM 10, the team decided to release a build every month with a focus on stability.

ICS ROM For The International Motorola RAZR (GSM) Shows Up, Gives Us The First Glimpse Of Blur In Android 4.0 (It's Not As Bad As It Sounds)

Posted by Cameron Summerson in News, RAZR / RAZR MAXX

When the words Blur and Android 4.0 meet in the same sentence, it's cringe-inducing for most users. Let's be honest here, that's a justified reaction. Blur pretty much sucks.

For the time being, anyway.

A leaked ICS ROM for the international version of the RAZR showed up earlier today with full Blur intact and, surprisingly enough, it doesn't look too bad. It retains more of a stock look than previous version of Blur, with seemingly few modifications made to the homescreens and app drawer. The icons have been blur-ified (yuck) and the lockscreen has undergone a makeover, which actually seems like it might be an improvement over the current ICS lockscreen; it displays four apps to open (instead of just "unlock" and "camera"), along with a silencer at the top - a feature that I've missed on my Galaxy Nexus.
