CyanogenMod-6.0 is hitting the mirrors right now! This is our first stable release based on Android 2.2, and we’ve hit our target list of devices. I’m completely amazed at what this project has become and the community that has developed around it, and it’s only just getting started.

You can get your CM-6 fix with ROM Manager, or head over to our forums and pick your device. You can also find all things CM-related on the relevant forums at XDA.

Thank you to everyone who’s contributed and everyone who’s supporting us!

So, whilst we were talking in our IRC channel, a group of us were discussing about how a lot of us all love playing online games, on various platforms.

So, I came up with the idea of a CM Games Clan, that being -=CMC=-

It’s still early days at the moment, but the intention will be to have as many CyanogenMod users all forming a massive games clan, probably the biggest in the world? Who knows!

I’m currently working on a new section of the website that will be specifically for the clan. For now, I’ve also created an IRC channel dedicated to the clan, so discussion can take place there.

Moderators for each platform / game will also be required, come and join us on IRC @ Freenode #cmclan

Love or Hate? Feedback is appreciated.

*Edit: I’ve now created the Steam group : http://steamcommunity.com/groups/cyanogenmod

I’ll work on integrations and other coolness for the website shortly …… thanks for the feedback so far!

CyanogenMod has taken a huge step forward in terms of organization over the past few months.  You may have noticed a recent move to a Github Organization, which makes administration of the source code repositories much easier.

Unfortunately, Github’s fork system doesn’t really work all that great when you have as many contributors sending code changes through as CyanogenMod does.  Because of this, we have decided to implement our own Gerrit instance.  Gerrit is developed by Google and used primarily for source code review for the Android project, so it should be familiar to anybody that has made code submissions to AOSP.

If you have contributed code in the past, or would like to help us review submissions, head over to http://review.cyanogenmod.com/ and sign up.  We are using Gerrit effective immediately, and your changes will be reviewed and make their way into the CyanogenMod source much quicker if you use Gerrit.

If you need help, I’ve created a wiki article which is currently a work in progress, however it should help get you started.

Thanks for all your contributions!  CyanogenMod wouldn’t be where it is today without the great community of developers that we have.

It’s been a few weeks of work, and a great effort from everyone involved! I’d like to present the first CM6 release candidates for the Nexus One, Dream, and Magic phones! Versions for other devices are on the way.

Check out the CHANGELOG for a full list of features and contributors.

It’s available for download via ROM Manager, or direct links can be found in the links below:

It’s been just under a week since Google released Froyo (Android 2.2) into the open-source world and we’ve made great progress on CyanogenMod-6 already. Approximately 20 of us on the CM team are working hard on merging all of the community-developed extras in, as well as porting to new devices. Google did a great job and really gave us the best foundation to start from this time around.

Here’s where we stand so far.. Most of the CyanogenMod extras have been merged. Some features are being reworked (like trackball settings), new device ports are well underway. The first devices to see CM6 experimental releases will most likely be the Nexus One and Droid simply because those are the devices that “just work”. The Dream/Sapphire port has everything working but one small issue remains. Wes Garner has the Slide port well underway. I don’t have a status report of the Desire, Incredible, and Evo versions at this time.

I’m expecting that we should have some experimental releases by the weekend, but please don’t spam us asking for ETAs.. We are just as excited to get this out as you are

You can follow our progress on Github or drop by irc.freenode.net in #cyanogenmod or #koush.

Regarding updates to CM5.. A small update will be coming this weekend to fix a few bugs but the focus will remain on CM6!

Thanks to everyone who has been supporting us with testing, bugfixing, code, new features, and of course donations. CM is what it is because of the community. Thank you!

Well, without stating the obvious the CyanogenMod website has been completely re-designed with a custom theme.

The theme now blends in more in line with our Forum and soon to follow also the Wiki.

I’m now working on the integration and other features between the CM Web portfolio. These are taking longer to develop and may take a bit more time before the implementation is fully in place.

Until then, enjoy your new CyanogenMod website!
