CyanogenMod, arguably the most popular custom ROM available to users, is now available for download in nightly form for the CDMA versions of the Galaxy S4 (Verizon, Sprint, US Cellular). For those of you who just can’t take it anymore with TouchWiz (I know I can’t), this would be a great...

There has been a lot of discussion about improving Android’s multitasking UI lately. The Paranoid Android team have been working on their own multi-window implementation for its ROM. The team mentions previous attempts at multi-window implementations, with most failing to gain traction. CyanogenMod...

Looks like the boys over at CyanogenMod want to add a nice little feature to their camera, and I am all for this feature. Hands free photos will now be added to future CM builds, that allows you to snap a photo from a distance using a trigger word. As you can see from the image above, you can use any...

Thank God it’s Friday. And thank God for The ManDroid Show. Right? Facebook Home is upon us, and after I recorded the show, Paul O’Brien dropped his apks for all devices. They are probably buggy, but all we really wanted was chat heads. We got that with the messenger update. Enjoy the show! News...

Out of the ROM oven, and into the CyanogenMod bakery comes the new round of CM 10.1. The M-series for 10.1 becomes a trilogy today, and the CM team has released the new delicious treat to a slew of devices. I guess this will be the first release to have Koush’s Superuser app baked inside, which...

PIE Controls from the unique and awesome Paranoid ROMs, have migrated their way over to the CyanogenMod 10.1 builds. It makes sense for the CM team to incorporate this distinct feature in their ROMs. I think PIE Controls are pretty fantastic. Helps add to that whole multi-tasking feature we all love,...

CyanogenMod father, Steve Kondik, has decided to walk away from the nice little job he got from Samsung over 18 months ago. Do not think anyone saw this coming. You create the best known ROM software for Android, and you get asked to join the team of one of the biggest companies on the mobile platform....

Well this was funny. I woke up today and saw other sites reporting that the CyanogenMod team was not planning on putting their CM baby on the Galaxy S4. Now it seems that might be a different story. This happens a lot. Usually stories in the internet world get thrown out to the public prematurely,...

Happy Monday to all. Seems that the CyanogenMod team has been working to get their next version of Cm 10.1 out to the public. Today they have released the new M2 builds for a slew of devices. The M2 build is Android 4.2.2, and the builds are stable. Here is what you can expect from this build: Common:...

I have a bit of a different story for everyone today and I hope that you understand why I felt compelled to do this. A great man and CyanogenMOD developer by the name of Ryan Scott (aka @Chiefzreloaded) on Twitter has had a long-standing battle with Necrotizing Fasciitis more commonly known as the...

For those of you that have the original 5.3-inch bad boy Galaxy Note, you will be happy to know you can finally get some Android 4.2 Cm 10.1 on that device. You can find the new download on the CyanogenMod download page, but make sure you are rocking an either T-Mobile or AT&T variant. Sorry for...

Ever been showing a friend something on your phone, and the lady (or man) in your life decides they want to send you a not so PG-13 rated message or picture? It happens. But CyanogenMod wants to change all that. They have recently merged a feature called “privacy mode” to the SMS app on...

Time for a little Android 4.2 if you have not gotten it already. CyanogenMod has rolled out the CM10.1 M-Series which are the most stable builds for each device. Sadly, it is not all the high-end phones. I have been unlucky to not get any Android 4.2 builds on my One S yet, but I know the One S is a...

Hello dear Android friends. Always appreciate you stopping by for another episode of The ManDroid Show. Make sure you get some questions in for me to answer. I plan on doing a Q&A video on Saturday. Enjoy the show! News topics Nexus toolkit available for download Nexus 4 and HTC DNA got head to...

In January of this year we got a look at a new project that was headed into CyanogenMOD at some point in time. The project progressed and changed names to Apollo a month later. Then an APK file was found that worked on Ice Cream Sandwich based devices later in May. After that we haven’t heard...
