The quest for mainstream acceptance is a difficult one for
CyanogenMOD and its open-source peers. Users have to sift through
countless forums and lists of instructions to learn how to root and hack
their Android phones, often with distratrous results. While the
initiation process is getting easier, it’s still not as easy as we’d
like.
CyanogenMOD has been great about installing features for existing
users that make their lives easier. They had a Do Not Disturb mode long
before Apple or Samsung, and integrated quick settings into the
notification bar long before HTC. Now, they’re bringing back a feature
from CM6, over-the-air updates, with a hardier back-end server to
provide the speed and reliability users expect from their ROM downloads.
The menu is available from the Settings/About/CM Updater screen, and
while the app won’t push updates to your device, it can be set to check
once daily or several times a day, and is granular enough to search only
for stable versions, or download nightlies, too.
The feature is available in the latest CM10 nightlies based on
Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean, and you can check compatibility with your
device over at get.cmhttps://plus.google.com/+CyanogenMod/posts/YV5v2GzrVSe
