CyanogenMod CM12 for Lollipop is coming!!!!





CyanogenMod, arguably the Android community's favorite ROM, just released the 12th version of its M build for CM 11. Bringing bug fixes, improvements, and all new features to its Android 4.4.4 codebase, modders are feeling pretty satisfied. But now Android 5.0 Lollipop is here, so what's the status of the new CyanogenMod update, CM 12?

Over at the CyanogenMod website, the developers have confirmed that work on CM12 started last week, but that nightlies won't be availble until the end of November, or possibly the start of December. The CyanogenMod team have said that at this point they don't know how many devices are going to "make the transition" from CM11 to CM12 when it launches, but that it looks like the number will be higher than they had "initially hypothesized".
Incorporating the CyanogenMod featureset into an all-new interface is, of course, no small task, so we're impressed to discover we may start seeing the first efforts in just a few short weeks.
Check below for the previous news on the CyanogenMod 11 M12 and previous M11 builds.

CyanogenMod: CM 11 M12 release

On November 13th, CyanogenMod posted details of the latest CM 11 M12 build. As oyou may recall, monthly builds have replaced the stable releases, so if you've been holding out there's no need. The CM 11 M12 build is all about stability and bug fixes with additional support for dual-SIM devices. In case you're into details, the M12 build also ''incorporates the upstream Google patches against last months POODLE vulnerability in SSLv3''. I have no idea what that was all about, but if you want to know more you can head over to Google's Security Blog.
