CyanogenMod

A couple of days ago the CyanogenMod team uploaded the latest branch of their nightly builds, CyanogenMod 10.1 which is based on Android 4.2.

Just over a month after the publication of the first official Android 4.2 ROM, CyanogenMod have already managed to upload somewhat stable versions of 10.1 for the following devices:

  •      Google Galaxy Nexus (manufactured by Samsung)
  •      Google Nexus 4 (manufactured by LG)
  •      Google Nexus 7 Wi-Fi and 3G (made by Asus)
  •      Google Nexus 10 (manufactured by Samsung)
  •      Asus Transformer TF700T Infinity
  •      Samsung Galaxy S
  •      Samsung Galaxy S II (including the variant G)
  •      Samsung Galaxy S III

Interest

Most devices concerned have already been updated by their manufacturers (which facilitated the work), but CyanogenMod certainly presents a more interesting alternative to the manufacturers ROM. Especially if you prefer the stock Android look like that of the Nexus range.

If you’re interested in downloading these nightly builds then you can do so from here.

PLEASE NOTE: These ROM’s are development builds so some things may not work as expected, if at all. You will also need to root and flash your device in order to install CyanogenMod. Neither RefuGeeks or CyanogenMod can be held accountable for any damages or bricked devices as a result of the flashing process.

    Anyone looking to install this on a HP Touchpad beware. It works fine but has a chance to brick your tablet if it runs out of battery, so be sure to keep it charged or set up something to automatically shut it down before it hits zero.

      Where did you find 10.1 for the Touchpad? It’s likely not an official build, as far as I know.
