After months of labor and many helping hands, a tenacious modder known as “cvpcs” has succeeded with his efforts to bring CyanogenMod 7 to the Motorola Droid X . While this is still a beta release, fixes are coming swiftly and the developer intends to deliver nightly updates to resolve the outstanding issues — the camera is non-functional, for instance. If you’re willing to take the plunge with this one, you’ll need to revert to Froyo for sake of kernel compatibility (but don’t worry, CM7 is Gingerbread-based). Also, the most recent set of Google apps aren’t working yet, so you’ll need to grab an older release. All the juicy details — along with the CM4DX download — can be found at the source, and we’ve included some helpful guides to get you on the right path. So if you’re feeling wily this weekend and Moto’s Gingerbread isn’t fitting the bill, be sure to thank “cvpcs” for his dedication.

May 6th, 2011 admin Congratulations to the fine developers of CyanogenMod, whose latest aftermarket Android OS, CyanogenMod 7 , has surpassed 200,000 downloads — a huge milestone for this homebrew community. Now supported on 26 devices, the hallmark of this custom ROM comes from its flexible user interface, greater customization options, bonus features and worthwhile performance improvements. While the project gained early notoriety from its dispute with Google, it’s become an increasingly popular solution for those wanting to command their phone (or tablet) as they see fit. The latest revision, 7.0.3, includes numerous fixes and refinements since its 7.0 release, so there’s never been a better time to check it out — in fact, we’re pretty sure the group would love to bring you aboard. Well done everyone, and keep up the good work.

April 30th, 2010 admin Droid , Milestone , Eris , Moment , Spica , even the Hero , all have had their Eclair, one way or another. G1 and myTouch 3G? Not so much. But don’t worry, Android early adopters, because Cyanogen ‘s got your back. Most all the bells, whistles and hardware-accelerated graphics of Android 2.1 are coming to the HTC Dream, Magic and Sapphire in CyanogenMod 5.0.7, and you can see a video of a T-Mobile G1 running the new build after the break. Twitter buzz indicates the ROM will be out any minute now is nearly ready; the dev himself tweeted that it’s good to go and just needs G1-friendly bite size packaging. Update: Don’t stay up all night waiting — Cyanogen says he’s got “two more bugs to kill” and is “hoping for a test1 public beta tomorrow night.” [Thanks, Philosophics] Continue reading Cyanogen ports Android 2.1 to G1 and MyTouch 3G (update) Cyanogen ports Android 2.1 to G1 and MyTouch 3G (update) originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 29 Apr 2010 00:10:00 EST.
