What is Cyanogenmod?

What is Cyanogenmod?


Cyanogenmod is a variant of Vanilla Android (aka Plain ol' Great Android) Sometimes you can't get a purely made version of Android for your device, so you go with the next best; Cyanogenmod.
Cyanogenmod also adds in a few of their own tools, but not much to worry about, its still some of the purest Android experiences. Cyanogenmod also includes its very own kernel with their ROMS. The Current CM being worked on is Cyanogenmod 11 (4.4.2 Kitkat). The stable build for most devices right now is Cyanogenmod 10.2 (which is 4.3 Jellybean) I'll say it once, I believe that Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 is actually one of the very best created right now, with the best stability. (4.2.2 Jellybean)
However you can install any Cyanogenmod you want for your device right now, and use the Cyanogenmod Updater to either download the newest nightly builds, or download the newest stable builds.
Cyanogenmod helps you get the best performance from your device, with its very own kernel, and cut down on the bloatware. A stock rom will be around 1-2GB in file size, while Cyanogenmod is actually around 130MB-200MB, a huge difference.
So all in all, I encourage you to check out this awesomeness.

Samsung Galaxy S3 Google Play Edition (USA Versions)

Samsung Galaxy S3 Google Play Edition (USA Versions) I'm excited to bring you this news today, Galaxy S3 users can now download the Google Play Edition of Android (As close as you will get to it) only on USA Versions as of right now. It all started when I got inspired by the sunbeam live wallpaper (How loco?). I decided to disect a Cyanogenmod Rom, first I started with AOKP, but was not satisfied by all the more options. Options are never a bad thing, but when you start with a 4.4.2 Nightly build of AOKP, You don't know where the heck the lockscreen settings are, or in fact I don't think it added any options for the lockscreen ring. They are still working on it, the rom is pretty crystal clear, and pure right now as it is. I decided to revise. I turned to the CM10.2 version, and started to play with it, luckily I soon got all the Google Apps installed correctly with no problem, and now I'm working on a revised build of the 4.4.2 Google Play Edition. I know just...

Ryzen 7 1800X Overview, 1 Week in

Ryzen 7 1800X Overview, 1 Week in Ryzen 7 1800X Overview, 1 Week in The Ryzen family of AMD's processors are here, and they're great so far. So I got my hands on one finally, so this is my Ryzen 7 1800X Overview, 1 Week in. First Glance This is great, AMD has finally phased out the FM2 and AMD3 sockets! It has been WAY overdue, and finally a new board and alignment has hit the market. What this means is, there can be more transistors, and components put onto the chip, which means in return, better performance. It looks beautiful, in terms of it being just a component for a computer, which is just basically a cluster of a lot of components together, as one big machine!  Specs The Ryzen 7 1800X comes stock with the core clock at 3.7GHz with 8 Cores, and 16 Threads. Also including 16MB of L3 Smart Cache. The core clock can also be turbo up to 4.0GHz with an unlocked motherboard. So far so good.  Stock Performance With Cinebench R15 I got a nice scor...

HTC Sense 7 LEAKED SCREENSHOTS!!!

HTC Sense 7 LEAKED SCREENSHOTS!!! Android "L" or Lollipop, also known as 5.0 is coming soon, well that means an all new Sense is on its way too of course! If you look at the above images you can definitely see how influenced Sense 7 is by Android L. Android 5, L is basically all themed on flat, but vibrant colors. This teal is one color option, but it's very nicely displayed by HTC Sense 7. I'm for sure the HTC One M8, as well as a lot of other HTC devices will be getting this Sense 7 update in the nearing future. There is also talk on a All new HTC Desire coming soon, will it be shipped stock with Sense 7, Android 5, L? I guess its a waiting game for HTC Fanboys. HTC has been on their game here lately with the slickness, and beauty of devices. I got a chance to play around with the HTC One M8 a little bit, and have to say I liked it very much, then the iPhone 6 came out, and I wondered if they were trying to copy some of the style? Get your own style...
