We heard recently that the CyanogenMod team were working to bring Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich to a number of Android devices with CyanogenMod 9, and now we get a look at an early build of CyanogenMod 9 running on the Nexus One.
It looks like almost everything is working in ICS on the Nexus One, although the camera and USB mass storage don’t work at the moment, we suspect it won’t take the guys from the XDA long to get those things working.
Early Build Performance and Features
The early build of CyanogenMod 9 on the Nexus One shows promising performance. Users have reported that the interface is smooth and responsive, which is impressive given the hardware limitations of the Nexus One compared to newer devices. The ICS update brings a host of new features, including a revamped user interface, improved multitasking, and enhanced notifications. The Nexus One, despite its age, seems to handle these new features quite well, which is a testament to the optimization work done by the CyanogenMod team.
However, as mentioned earlier, there are still some issues to be ironed out. The camera functionality is currently non-operational, which is a significant drawback for users who rely on their phone for photography. Additionally, USB mass storage is not working, which can be inconvenient for those who frequently transfer files between their phone and computer. Despite these issues, the progress made so far is encouraging, and it is likely that these bugs will be fixed in future updates.
Community and Developer Support
The CyanogenMod community has always been known for its strong developer support and active user base. The XDA Developers forum is a hub for discussions, troubleshooting, and sharing custom ROMs. The early build of CyanogenMod 9 for the Nexus One has generated a lot of interest and excitement within the community. Developers are working tirelessly to address the current issues and improve the overall performance of the ROM.
For those interested in trying out CyanogenMod 9 on their Nexus One, detailed instructions and support can be found on the XDA Developers forum. The forum provides a wealth of information, including step-by-step guides, user feedback, and updates from developers. This collaborative environment is one of the key strengths of the CyanogenMod project, enabling users to get the most out of their devices.
