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!

The website has been upgraded to WordPress 3.0, this includes about 8 – 10 plugins.

Thanks!

The forum is currently down, and is being revived by some green aliens.

Please continue to use IRC / WIKI / Twitter whilst the Androids get to work fixing the problem.

Thanks for your continued patience during the reviving phase…..burn.

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.

I’m aware of the current error with the CyanogenMod Wiki and am working on it now.

Until this is resolved, please continue to use the Forum or IRC.

Thanks.

**Update** = WiKi is now back on line and fully working.

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.

CyanogenMod 5.0.6 for the Nexus One and Motorola Droid has been released after being in test mode for awhile now. Thank you everyone who contributed to this release!!

It’s available via Koush’s ROM Manager (N1 and Droid), CM Updater (N1 only for now, Droid soon), or you can check the links below for manual downloads.

Check out the CM forums for N1 and also our Droid forums and come get kanged!!

And don’t forget our friends at XDA-Developers!!

Here’s the CHANGELOG for 5.0.6 (full list of changes here):

* Added libncurses, lsof, irssi, htop, bash, nano and powertop.
* Added option to disable USB Debugging notification.

* Animated GIF support in the browser (info from Google)
* Updated translations from Eug89, RedVirus, and ThiasB

* Audio gain tweaks from Pershoot
* Kernel 2.6.33.2
* Launcher can auto-orientate now (enable in Spare Parts) - not really all that pretty but it works

* Added wireless-tools (iwconfig and friends) to the build

* Fix for the red/pink camera tint bug!! (from HTC/Google)
* Number keys work on the vk in the Terminal app again (from Jack Palevich's Google Code project)

* Fixed ##program menu
* Fix fstab bug (DroidMod)

Have fun!
