CyanogenMod 10.1 nightly builds available
We recently complained that CyanogenMod
builds based on the Android 4.2 release were not available for most
devices, meaning
that CyanogenMod lacked features found in stock Android builds. So it
seems only fair to point out that the CyanogenMod nightly builds page now
includes CM10.1-based (and, thus, Android 4.2-based) builds for a wide
variety of targets. CM10.1 works well on the Nexus 7 tablet, with no
real problems found so far.
(Just be sure to install updated Google Apps as well or things will not go well...not that your editor would ever make such a mistake.) (Log in to post comments)
CyanogenMod 10.1 nightly builds available Posted Dec 19, 2012 18:33 UTC (Wed) by alspnost (guest, #2763) [Link] Whereas my complaint would be that I wish they would provide builds for devices that aren't going to get Jelly Bean, rather than ones that already have it! I see no sense in upgrading a Nexus 7, which runs beautifully on the stock Jelly Bean (4.2) ROM. But I'd love to upgrade my HTC Sensation phone, whose stock ICS (4.0) ROM seems to grow slower and clunkier by the day...

Heh.
ICS 4.0 was amazing when it was new.
Nothing changed, yet now it is clunky.
Bit Rot.

In this case we trade off performance for functionality.

Then you will have a bad time explaining how and why 4.2 is faster and uses less battery than 4.0 and 4.1 ... :-D
Second laws Posted Dec 20, 2012 22:50 UTC (Thu) by man_ls (subscriber, #15091) [Link] That can often be the case. In those situations I ask myself: why was it so slow before? A trade-off that comes to mind is: performance vs time to market.

Hmm, this indicates to me that my experience is atypical, which means it is less likely to be noticed and fixed :(.
(Before upgrading to 4.2, my Nexus 7 could last at least a week in standby with the wireless on. Now if I forget to turn the wireless off when I'm done with it the battery will be dead by the next day.)
