The wait is over! Official CyanogenMod 13 nightly builds are finally here. The only bummer about this is that the initial roll out is starting out small. There are only 7 supported devices as of this post. Those devices include the OnePlus One, Nexus 7, LG G4, Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4, LG GPad 7.0, LG...

CyanogenMod set itself apart from other roms in the early stages by releasing new builds on a nightly basis. These builds included, bug fixes, new features, and other performance enhancements. The only issues with the nightly builds is that one fix often breaks something else. These nightly...

Amazon Fire Tablets are generally a pretty great value. The only real issue with them is that they run a skinned version of Android that bears no resemblance to stock AOSP. The entire UI is different and you have no access to the Google Play Store. If you are getting tired of the ole Carousel no...

If you have ever flashed CyanogenMod to your device then you know that you must also flash the G-apps package or you will be totally without Google services. The reason Cyanogen can't just package Google Apps into their rom is because they don't have the proper licensing. Instead of getting...

Harnessing the power of the custom rom means you will be able to run the latest and greatest version of Android on your smartphone for years to come! While Roms have seen their pinnacle and recent decline in popularity I hope their is a facet of users that keep them going. With Roms you can...

The European variants of the LG G4 took a while to get bootloader unlock like the rest of the pack. With that rom development was slowed down. CyanogenMod has finally released nightly builds for both the H811 and H815 variants of the LG G4! To install this you will need to have a custom recovery...

Just like that Cyanogen begins work on CM13. With every new version of Android comes a new version of Cyanogenmod. We are only one week past the official release on Marshmallow, and this time around Cyanogen has jumped on development quickly. The move to Lollipop was slower going as the CM team...

Development is moving pretty quickly for the Moto X Pure. There is a team that is working on an official build of CyanogenMod for the Moto X Pure. Using the source you can build your own rom. The rom actually boots, but pretty much everything does not work. For now working elements include...

If you are using the OnePlus 2 one big reason you may have purchased the device was to take advantage of custom roms like CyanogenMod. The bootloader of the OnePlus 2 is easy to unlock. TWRP is readily available for the device and you can easily install custom roms without having to worry about...

The Xiaomi Redmi 2 is one of the best budget smart phones I have ever used. It comes stock with a pretty heavily themed version of Android called MIUI. This is a rom that I have been a fan of for quite some time. The Rom originally mimicked the style of iOS. If you would rather have a more stock...

In yet another bid to distance themselves from Google, Cyanogen has announced that they will heavily integrate Cortana into the next version of Cyanogen OS. By now Google does a pretty great job at digital assistance with their Google Now. Cyanogen CEO Kirt McMaster feels that Cortana will help...

The Moto X Pure has not even shipped yet and we already have some developers working on CyanogenMod 12.1. The Galaxy S6 is several months out and still doesn't have even an unofficial build of CM! This is the beauty of a developer friendly unlockable bootloader device. Developer "Shawn5162" is...
