All of the older Motorola phones are finally getting some Marshmallow love thanks to Official CM13 nightlies! Devices that I am very fond of including the Droid Bionic and Droid 4 are included in this! The Droid X was my first Android phone, but the Bionic was one of my favorite ever! It was...

A few months ago I got to spend some time with the Zuk Z1. Zuk was an independent OEM that was doing such a great job with mobile development that Lenovo took interest and eventually bought them. Now they are Zuk by Lenovo. The Z1 is their latest flagship device. It is actually a pretty popular...

Sony may have decided to drop AOSP support for the Xperia Z, but that doesn't mean that you won't be able to get AOSP on your device. Thanks to Cyanogen you can run CM13 on the Xperia Z. The alpha version was just released for the device. The only real drawback is the fact that in these early...

As much as I love stock Android on the Nexus 6P I am a flashaholic at heart. This is one of the biggest reasons I love the Nexus 6P is the ability to easily unlock the bootloader and run custom roms. CyanogenMod 13 is officially available for the 6P. This includes all the standard Marshmallow...

The Nexus 4 is how old?! Yet it can now run a stable build of Android 6.0 Marshmallow thanks to the development community! This is pretty outstanding and is one of the main reasons I will continue to support and champion the development community. If I didn't review new phones on my youtube...

Cyanogen is working hard on preparing a stabilized version of CM13 for the multitude of supported devices to be released by the end of January. In anticipation of this release CM has readied the rom for localization. Translators are now able to begin their work on getting the whole system...

The Yu Yunique is a budget phone that has been very popular in emerging markets. The device has gained popularity thanks to CyanogenOS which it runs as its stock firmware. CyanogenOS is still on Lollipop, but you can actually run the latest build of Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 security patches and...

The Nexus devices are always the first to receive the latest and greatest software from Google. Even older devices like the Nexus 5 generally end up getting the updates. Applying the update is not always the easiest for those of us who like to root and rom our devices. Accepting an OTA update is...

I can never stress enough how important the development community is for older devices. Once a device hits a certain age it gets end of lifed by OEMs never to be updated again. This means that even if security patches come out those devices will remain unsecured. The rom development community...

The wait is over! Official CyanogenMod 13 nightly builds are finally here. The only bummer about this is that the initial roll out is starting out small. There are only 7 supported devices as of this post. Those devices include the OnePlus One, Nexus 7, LG G4, Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4, LG GPad 7.0, LG...

CyanogenMod 13 is slowly unofficially rolling out to many devices. Motorola has been pretty quick at releasing updates for their newer devices. Some of the older devices seem to be placed on the back burner. This is where the mod community really comes in handy! We already have a build of...

Harnessing the power of the custom rom means you will be able to run the latest and greatest version of Android on your smartphone for years to come! While Roms have seen their pinnacle and recent decline in popularity I hope their is a facet of users that keep them going. With Roms you can...

Just like that Cyanogen begins work on CM13. With every new version of Android comes a new version of Cyanogenmod. We are only one week past the official release on Marshmallow, and this time around Cyanogen has jumped on development quickly. The move to Lollipop was slower going as the CM team...
