Who wants to try a fresh new OS? Of course you do. Us Android flashers love something new. Well anyone with a Nexus will be happy to hear that Ubuntu Touch is ready to be flashed on your device. That is correct. If you have a Nexus 4, 7, 10, or GSM Galaxy Nexus, you can get an early taste of what...

Ok, so I’m calling this a review, but it’s really an endorsement for my daily driver. We all have one, even the flashaholics. If you like snappiness, stability and the color blue, you’ve come to the right place. Those of you on the Galaxy S3 from Sprint should take a look. Steve is...

It is never to late for a good ole’ Easter egg hunt. Looks like the Cyanogen boys have decided to put their very own Easter egg in their new batch of Android awesomeness. We are all familiar with the Jelly Bean Easter egg you can find in the settings/about phone/phone version part of our phones,...

After all the short little videos on CM10 running on different devices, someone decided to get CM9 running on the Nexus Q. Can you say random??? Just the other day, a video surfaced showing the classic game Pong running very nicely on the Nexus Q. That was pretty awesome, but now to have CM9 running...

It has been a weird kind of day in the Cyanogen world. I kept seeing random posts about different devices running the Jelly Bean powered CM10. I believe I saw one on the Galaxy Tab 8.9, as well as seeing a video on CM10 running on the Motorola Defy. We have already posted about CM10 running on both...

Owners of the Samsung Epic 4G will be excited to learn that an alpha version of CyanogenMOD 9 was made available yesterday, thanks to the hard work and efforts from the EpicCM team. Granted, there’s still a long list of bugs and issues that need to be dealt with — this is far from a stable...

If you own a Motorola Atrix 4G and have waited patiently for your device to make the roll call for some Ice Cream Sandwich lovin’, your patience has just paid off. Thanks to the Atrix and Photon dev teams and XDA Senior Member, jokersax11, there is now an early build of CyanogenMOD 9 available...

Owners of the Motorola DROID 2 Global got a nice surprise this Christmas in the form of an early CM9 port, thanks to XDA Member ngocha2006. For those unaware, CM9 is the upcoming release from the CyanogenMod team, based on Ice Cream Sandwich (aka Android 4.0.3). Keep in mind, this is an unofficial...

Owners of the original Motorola DROID can exhale a collective sigh of relief, now that an Ice Cream Sandwich project is underway for their phone. Unfortunately the CyanogenMod team has not changed their plans to drop support for the device. We all know the CM crew has been very busy as of late; in...

Sorry to overload you with HTC news today, but it just keeps on coming. Owners of the HTC Sensation who have patiently been waiting for a taste of Sense 3.5-laced Ice Cream Sandwich will be glad to hear that their wait is over. A major thanks is due to robocik, a recognized developer from the XDA community....

As we constantly post about the yummy Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs being ported to high-end devices, we tend to forget about the “not-so” high-end devices. The Samsung Galaxy Mini is getting some nice ICS love, by getting a CM9-ICS based ROM with everything working except the Live Wallpaper....

If you own a Motorola DROID X, get ready for the best news you’ve gotten in a long time. Thanks to firstEncounter, a member of the RootzWiki community, there is now an alpha port of CyanogenMod 9 (Ice Cream Sandwich and all its glory) available for you to download and flash. This kanged port...

Two Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.3) ports for the Motorola XOOM (WiFi and LTE) are now available for the taking, thanks to the hard work of some great folks from XDA. razorbladex401  is heading up the project for the WiFi-only XOOM, while xxspark89xx is in charge of the port for the 3G/4G model....

Yesterday we brought you news that Android 4.0.3 is rolling out to the T-Mobile Nexus S. Now, less than 24 hours later, Android developer Beezy has done it again. He put together a nice little port for the Nexus S 4G and even gave it a humorous name to distinguish the ROM from the rest of the pack. ICS...

Here’s another reason to wish you got in on last week’s final-swoop HP TouchPad $99 sale. scott951, from the XDA Forums, proudly posted the first official pre-alpha MIUI ROM for the device, and the progress looks to be coming along rather nicely. It’s been known for quite a while...
