CyanogenMod is one of the most popular custom ROMs for Android. It delivers a near-stock experience with a number of useful improvements and tweaks that provide greater flexibility, and more customization. And with every update, it gets even better.
The latest, CM11 M7, is based on Android 4.4.2, and it’s available now to all 50 devices supported by CyanogenMod. It makes a number of improvements to the built-in Trebuchet launcher, brings redesigned interfaces to the Theme Chooser and Calculator app, and adds support for the FFMPEG media format.
There are some new additions to this release not mentioned in the changelog, including Google Glass support and a button vibrate option in the Calculator, a “Google Experience Launcher-like side panel” in the Trebuchet launcher, and the ability to protect apps with a passcode.
