CyanogenMod 6.1 Final Released, Brings Android 2.2.1, Bugfixes, And New Features Galore

2010/12/05 5:57pm PSTDec 5, 2010

After spending over a month in the release candidate stages, a final (stable) release of Android's most popular ROM has just been pushed out. Cyanogen himself tweeted the news, but also mentioned one small caveat: Samsung devices (read: the Galaxy S line) are left out of the fun, with no ETA. (Update: not available for the HTC Wildfire either.)

What's new in 6.1, you ask? Oh, just a few things:

6.1.0

Common: Update to Android 2.2.1

Common: Various bugfixes from AOSP and CodeAurora

Common: ADWLauncher 1.3.3 - Ander Webbs

Common: Configurable audio focus for music app - Jonas Larsson

Common: APN cleanup (fixes many issues with GPS and MMS) - Cyanogen

Common: Use ARMv6 optimizations for DS/Hero targets - Ninpo

Common: AudioDSP updates - Antti S.

Video Of Barnes & Noble NOOKcolor Running Android 2.2.1 AOSP Surfaces, But Details Are Scarce

Details are stupidly scarce on this right now - there isn't even an XDA thread, and Google's not showing any hits either - but YouTube user jacememes has uploaded a video of a NOOKcolor running an Android 2.2.1 AOSP (Android open source project) build. That's certainly a fast turnaround time, given that the device was just rooted a few days ago.

The video was shot with an Android phone, so it's not the best quality, but it's more than enough to show what it needs to.

2.2.1 Update For Nexus One Breaks Universal Androot, Swype, And Other Aftermarket Keyboards

A few days ago, the code for the Nexus One's 2.2.1 update went AOSP (Android Open Source Project), meaning that the source code became available to developers. It was comprised mostly of bugfixes and other things that weren't major... oh, and it also patched the exploits that allowed Universal Androot to unlock your device. We had a short conversation about it on Twitter with Cyanogen (the conversation starts at the bottom and goes up):

As if breaking Universal Androot wasn't enough, apparently the new update also prevents existing installations of Swype and some other aftermarket keyboards from working.
