CyanogenMod 11 Quietly Reaches Milestone 4 for Selected Devices – Download Link Available

11 Mar 2014

Among Android users the number of people that haven’t heard of CyanogenMod is very small. Among Android enthusiasts equals none. And when a new Milestone is upon the newest version of “everyone’s favorite custom ROM” – one does not overlook the importance of it. Not to mention those having a compatible device eagerly awaiting the final release.

In plain terms: CyanogenMod is a manufacturer firmware alternative for devices that will no longer be receiving updates by their manufacturer or for users wanting the Nexus style standard Android interface and a lot more control and features offered with it. CyanogenMod 11 is based on the latest version of the Google branded OS but as stated, with a lot more features, options and more improvements than those integrated by default with a Nexus type interface.

The most newest release of CyanogenMod 11 – currently not available in a final or stable form- is CM M4 or Milestone 4. So called “Milestones” these are pre-final stage releases that are worth installing as are usually good for everyday use and reporting back to the developers any problems. This release comes with features and improvements you wouldn’t want to miss out on:

Immersive Mode – prevent accidental clicks on swipe gesture (EdgeGesture service)
Bluetooth LE – Wipower SDK apis, various fixes
System NavBar – Left Hand mode (landscape only – not available on tablets)
Motion Accelerometer support (device dependant)
Volume Panel – transparency support
Translations – new language additions, localization and long-string fixes
MediaPlayer – new apis for Suspend/Resume
CM Easter Egg
QuickSettings – volume Tile sync fix, Quick Config, Alarm tile shows alarms, User Profile fix
Recent Apps Panel – low-end device tweaks
Theme Engine – Fix crashes
