I have previously written about CM9 and how well I have enjoyed using this custom ROM on my phone. I’m compelled to write once more about CM10. If it wasn’t for the CyanogenMod team I would not be able to experience the wonderful flavours of JellyBean (Android 4.1.2).
With Android 4.2.0 in the wind I’m really keen to see how compatible this will be with my phone. I’ve recently learnt that CM for the I9000 is the most downloaded ROM from CyangoenMod.
I’m really enjoying Google Now that android 4.1 brings and I can’t wait for 4.2 to hit the CM team. I’m sure they will be releasing Android 4.2 within days of Android releasing it to the public, which I believe should happen any day now.
I’ve had my Samsung Galaxy S now for over 2 years and I am very pleased with it. It seems that manufactures are encouraging users to upgrade their phones every 12 months with the release of the phones having better CPU, GPU and RAM.
I’ve always thought that I’d like to have my phone for 3 years but I’m finding it difficult as the newer devices out there look so good. I am finding with the newer Android operating system that the hardware seems to be a bit slower on the older phones due to the newer features and functions that require more CPU and RAM. Having said that it is still a very usable device. Due to wanting the latest and greatest I’ve decided to purchase the Samsung Galaxy S IV when it comes out in March 2013 (if you listen to rumors). If the phone is up to specifications then I believe I will purchase around May/June. I won’t purchase when it is first released. I will wait for supply to pickup and be hopeful the price will drop with competing retailers.
If anyone has an older Android device I can recommend that you do try our CM10 for your device.
