CyanogenMod 10.2 Official Nightlies Rolling Out Now: Brings Android 4.3 to Over 50 Devices

CyanogenMod is the world'south most pop aftermarket firmware solution for a reason, and today the CM team gets another notch on their belt for a chore well washed. CyanogenMod 10.2, which is based on Android 4.iii, has started rolling out for somewhere around 50 devices equally of writing (Baronial 14th). The CyanogenMod team posted on their Google+ folio about a few nightlies going out, only this is a pretty large listing to just call "a few." Without giving an exhaustive list, which yous can merely find at the official CM Download folio anyway, the following popular devices currently have CM10.two builds:

Sony Xperia Z
Motorola RAZR
HTC I
Nexus iv
Milky way Nexus
Galaxy Note I and 2
Galaxy S4
Galaxy S III
Galaxy Tab two
Kindle Burn

Call back there are enough of other devices that take official CyanogenMod back up, and if you already are a CyanogenMod user chances are a CyanogenMod x.two build is either at the official download page right now, or will be in the next few nights. As ever the CM team is the first to bring a fully featured ROM based on Android 4.3 to most of the listed phones, and is keeping more than users up to date considerably faster than the original manufacturer of said telephone e'er would be able to. Android 4.three brings a lot of nifty new things, including lots of back-stop optimization and security enhancements. Of course said security enhancements aren't without controversy, as Google seems to be attempting to remove the need for root access to a device altogether. The CM team is of course working on solutions, only I can personally vouch for the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 working just fine with root access running CM 10.ii unofficial builds. The worst you might have to exercise is re-root your phone, which is by and large no trouble for users who have already gone through the process.

CyanogenMod 10.2 adds quite a bit in the way of features as well. Likewise having all the advantages of Android 4.three, you're going to be getting the CyanogenMod team'south new camera app, Focal. The CM team has likewise baked Chromecast support straight into the operating system, then yous should be able to beam only about any media content from your phone to your TV via a Chromecast if you lot are lucky enough to own i. Finally the CM team will be adding new features to the famous CyanogenMod Downloader, which is the easiest way to update any ROM to appointment. The new features let the OS to update automatically overnight, all with customizations and backups done automatically also. It's a bang-up way to go on updated while y'all sleep, and adds a whole new dimension to the custom ROM scene. Great work CM team, head on over to the official nightly page to see if your device is supported yet.
