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!

A new round of release candidates went out this weekend for all of our supported devices with a lot of new features. It’s time to switch to bugfix mode and get an actual release out. Head over to the download section/forums to get the latest release candidates and nightly builds.

Supported devices for 6.0:

Nexus One

Motorola Droid

HTC EVO

HTC Desire

HTC Incredible

HTC Hero (GSM/CDMA)

HTC Dream

HTC Magic

HTC Aria

MT3G Slide

Things that aren’t in 6.0. but may be in 6.1

CM6.. Coming soon to a phone near you!

Here’s something to ponder.

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 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!

CyanogenMod-5.0.8 for Nexus One, Droid, Dream, and Magic has arrived!

This is by far the BEST CM release! So much good stuff in there that you won’t even know what to do with it. And ADW Launcher is now the default launcher! This is another huge milestone for the Android community.

Check out this CHANGELOG!

Downloads:

Nexus One (XDA)
Droid
Dream & Magic (XDA)

Note that for Nexus One, the Froyo radio image is REQUIRED.

All versions are available from ROM Manager, and the Nexus One build is currently available from CM Updater also.

Have fun!

After a lot of work from a lot of people, CyanogenMod 5.0.7 is out for your Dream and Magic (Fender/MT3G 1.2 also) phones! This is Android 2.1 (Eclair). It’s not without quirks, but it’s more than capable of being your daily driver.

Head over to the forums for all the details and download info!

And HI to our friends at XDA Developers!

A whole bunch of us have been working hard to get Android 2.1 (CM 5.0.7) running perfect on the HTC Dream and Magic phones and I think it’s nearly ready to go. This release is almost exactly the same as the Nexus One and Droid versions of CM now, minus a few of the heavier apps.

This was an incredible community effort and I hope everyone likes the result. Breathing new life into old hardware is always awesome.

I expect that a stable release of 5.0.7 should be ready for all devices in the next few days.

And after that.. Google has confirmed that Android 2.2 (FroYo) will be available for ION phones, so it’s guaranteed that CM-6 will continue to support the G1 also when the source code hits AOSP.

It took a bit of #teamdouche power, but it looks like DroidForums has done the right thing! The Ultimate Droid section has been closed!

To the mods there: I know I’ve been a pain in the ass, but thank you for doing the right thing. Consider this my apology It will be better for you guys in the long run- if it wasn’t Koush and I, it would have been someone else.
