The Holo-themed default music player of the CyanogenMod 9 custom ROM for Android is quite a polished and feature-laden app that we’ve already looked at in detail. Based more or less along the same lines, Apollo Music Player is a brand new music player that comes bundled with the Nightly builds of CM9 as the ROM’s default music app. Here’s some good news for all Android 4.0 (or higher) Ice Cream Sandwich users. Apollo Music Player is now available for download on any device rocking an ICS-based ROM, and like the default CM9 stock music app, this one, too, doesn’t require your device to be rooted. Among other changes, Apollo Music Player sports a white theme by default, as compared to the sleek black theme that we saw with the previous app. There are quite a few other subtle, yet much sought-after features, which part Apollo from the ex-CM9 default music player.

The final build of the CyanogenMod 9 custom ROM for Android might still be in the pipelines but users have been receiving small piece of its awesomeness at frequent intervals. First, it was the alpha version of the ROM itself, then a taste of its native launcher (Trebuchet Launcher), and now it’s the official CyanogenMod 9 Music app that has been released by the developer Andrew Neal on his website. The music player is currently available for devices running CM9 or Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and higher. It has an ICS-style default interface, but comes with the option to download and apply skins, one of which replicates the looks of Google Music. Other highlights of the player include the option to purchase and delete tracks from within the app, customizable status bar UI, gesture and motion controls, multiple attractive animations for transitions between tracks, comprehensive set of sound enhancement options (including a 5-band equalizer), and ICS-style homescreen widgets in multiple sizes.

Official CM9 ROM For Galaxy S II [Experimental] [Download]

The Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 gets CyanogenMod 9 based on Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich. ICS for the Galaxy S II seems quiet far away, and by that we mean, a stable ROM, be it custom or official. After a lot of ICS based ROMs surfaced for the SGS II, all which are buggy and incomplete (by no means do we undermine the efforts put into the releases by developers), it is good to see something coming in straight from CyanogenMod itself. The recent CM9 release, like the many custom ROMs before it, is a highly experimental build, that is in no way recommended to be used as a daily driver. According to the forum thread, we’re looking at a functional build of CM9 in either January or February, but heck, Android enthusiasts are never up for waiting. Read More

HTC Universal gets CM7! This is huge news, but only if you understand and know how old the HTC Universal actually is. The device dates back to 2005 and was the first 3G capable phone released with a 3.5” VGA pivoting screen. Originally shipped with Windows Mobile 5.0, the device got a port of the Android 2.2 Froyo for it self sometimes back. Now thanks to XDA-Developers forum member notime2d8, the device has received the much popular Gingerbread based CM7 ROM. However, the project isn't fully complete with the Wi-Fi and modem/phone functions broken. Also, this ROM is meant for the 128mb RAM devices, not the 64mb ones and understandably so. If you have the 128mb model lying around and are eager and curious on trying out new stuff on your old devices despite the the phone and modem issues just because you’re an Android fan, read on after the break for installation instructions and downloads!

CM7 based on Android’s Gingerbread OS, is now available for the Kindle Fire tablet, who would have thought. A few days back, XDA-Developers forum member JackpotClavin came out with the news that that he managed to boot up CM7 on his Kindle Fire, but the ROM was not up for grabs back then. However, the ROM has been released for users to download and install on the new tablet and being CM7, there are a lot of eager Kindle Fire users out there dying to try this out on the device. Of course, a few glitches do exist since a specific kernel for the Kindle Fire has not been developed as yet. That said, the ROM has pretty much everything working and can be used as a daily driver, well almost. Read More

The Nexus S gets it’s first taste of CM9, the ICS based AOSP ROM! ICS ports are all the rage right now, and the team at CyanogenMod went underground to work on their new CM9, thus keeping things a wee bit. Guess what? Koush, the guy who made ClockworkMod recovery and ROM Manager possible, is working on the CM9 project for the Nexus S, and he has released his build to the users for some early testing. The ROM, still in an Alpha stage, is said to be stable enough to be used as a daily driver. Apparently almost everything seems to be working just fine, and if a few bugs do exist, the ROM is in Alpha 11 of its stage, so bear with it if you do want to give it a go. Read More

HP TouchPad received some awesome CyanogenMod treatment couple of days back. Android enthusiasts didn’t waste a second and were quick to get this CM 7.1 Android 2.3 Gingerbread on their TouchPads.
