Hands-On: How CyanogenMod 10 Fixed My EVO 4G LTE

Posted by in Development, EVO 4G LTE (Jewel), Jelly Bean 4.1

You likely noticed our coverage regarding the arrival of official CyanogenMod (experimental) nightly builds for, among other devices,  HTC's EVO 4G LTE. As someone who's lived with the EVO LTE for several months now, this was big news.

Normally, we steer clear of covering the majority of custom ROMs, as development for many Android devices runs at a fast and furious pace, and coverage can quickly become dated. The improvements CyanogenMod 10 offers, though, especially over Sense on the EVO LTE, are certainly worth coverage. In this post, we'll take a quick look at CM10 for the EVO, how it changes the device's overall experience, and why, if your EVO is not running Jelly Bean yet, you're missing out.

Official CyanogenMod Nightlies Show Up For T-Mobile LG MyTouch Q (aka C800, aka Eclypse)

Posted by in Development, LG, myTouch Q, News, T-Mobile

Great news for owners of the MyTouch Q, which welcomed the advent of official CyanogenMod tonight. No, not that MyTouch Q. The other one. I know, the naming scheme is not confusing at all.

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.

Tonight's first official nightly build is still CM9 (Ice Cream Sandwich), but I'm sure CM10 (Jelly Bean) will be arriving shortly.

Posted by in AT&T, Development, EVO 4G LTE (Jewel), Galaxy S III, Jelly Bean 4.1, News, One S (Ville), One X (Endeavor), Sprint, US Cellular

Since the debut of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean back at I/O, everyone has been clamoring for CyanogenMod 10. With the addition of each new device to the list of those with official nightly support, hopeful users of flagship handsets like the HTC One X and Samsung Galaxy SIII wondered when their day would come. While most variants of the SIII have already received nightlies, the US Cellular variant (d2usc) joined that list last night, along with a few other devices. Included among the new inductees are AT&T's HTC One X (Evita), the HTC One S (Ville), and Sprint's Evo 4G LTE (Jewel).

[Update: Galaxy Tab 8.9 Too] Official CM9 Nightlies Arrive For The International Galaxy S III

Posted by in Galaxy S III, Galaxy Tab 8.9, News
Last Updated: June 19th, 2012

CyanogenMod 9 may still be a ways out, lending some credence to the claim that upgrading from Gingerbread to ICS is a very long endeavor. However, if you're willing to live your life on the bleeding edge, and you own an international Galaxy S III variant, then the time is right for you: CM9 nightlies are now available for your device.

2012-06-18_11h28_02

This is, of course, still an early build, so expect some bugs along the way. CM9 has still not reached release candidate stage yet, which is itself still a few steps away from stable release. The adventurous and the knowledgeable need not concern themselves, though.

Last we heard, CyanogenMod 9's interaction with the Galaxy Tab 10.1 line was limited to the variants shackled either to T-Mobile or to WiFi. However, the CM team has been hard at work, and as of yesterday, the following three editions of the 10-inch tablet have been granted access to the CM nightly kingdom:

  • Verizon's Galaxy Tab 10.1 (SCH-I905) - Download: p4VZW
  • Unlocked WiFi + 3G Galaxy Tab 10.1 (GT-P7500) - Download: p4
  • Galaxy Tab 10.1v (GT-P7100) - Download: p3
