Firmware Update: CyanogenMod 11 M9

Spread the love

CyanogenMod is an open source operating system for smartphones and tablets. It is based on a bare-bones version of Android and adds additional functionality, including root access, shortcuts in the notification bar, an expanded lockscreen, and various themes for the interface. Furthermore, there are often performance improvements compared to the software supplied by a manufacturer.

CyanogenMod version 11 is based on Android version 4.4.x and is still under development. Unofficial builds, also called nightlies, are released almost daily, but they are not always stable. To improve this, a code freeze is set every few weeks, so that a more stable build than average can become available shortly afterwards. The ninth so-called Milestone build has now been released and the release notes for this release look like this:

CyanogenMod 11.0 M9 Released

Another month, another release to mark the occasion – today we fire off the builds for CM11 M9. The M9 build incorporates changes from June 31st through its branch date on Sunday July 27th.

This release marks the first ever (non-nightly) release for the Xperia Z2 ‘sirius’, Xperia Z2 Tablets ‘castor’ and the HTC One ‘m8’ – kudos to their maintainers and all the other maintainers that bring you these releases every month ! As a reminder, the best way to help them continue to provide solid releases is to report bugs to our JIRA instance.
