Don't care, I have a Nexus4 being delivered and won't ever have to install Cyanogen again! (I know its a little bit different but still I won't bother).


a) What does it have to do with this post?

b) Google doesn't provide updates for Nexus phones indefinitely.


Cyanogenmod also provides many features that aren't found in the stock ROMs, like the option to modify what on-screen buttons are available, modifications to the lock screen and home screen launcher, etc


and their awesome theme engine. it brings a breath of fresh air to the interface. Of course, 99% of the themes found on xda are utter garbage but a few of them are extremely well designed.


The Nexus S won't be getting Android 4.2 without going the Cyanogen route. So even with Nexus phones you still have to chose between buying a new phone every 2 years, not having the latest version of Android or installing Cyanogenmod.


Got a reference for that? I was assuming 4.2 would be coming to the Nexus S.



Shame. Thanks for the link.


cm > stock android, that's been my experience. When I got my Galaxy Nexus, I was on cm within 2 weeks.


I have to agree. I had CM7 on my atrix and it saved my phone. I was this close "_" to getting rid of my phone because I was frustrated with the stock OS. CM7 fixed that, and gave my phone the last few months I needed out of it.

I just got the note 2 (which is dead sexy btw), and I"m going to hold off on custom roms until I get annoyed with the stock setup(ie, 2 weeks:) ). Happy to see that CM10 is kicking ass.


On the same day my Galaxy Nexus was delivered to my work place, our IT support rooted my phone and installed CM10 for me. Never looked back since.


The idea of a phonetic alphabet is that anyone can understand something you are saying over voice.

I myself never heard of "Zoopla", "Yell"

And this would be worst if im talking with an airline, or my grandfather.

Completely dumb.


The buy page is ugly: https://www.beanstream.com/scripts/payment/payment.asp?merch...

The logo is all resized.


I've resized the logo so it's smaller. We're working on implementing a better payment gateway - the current page that's there now is temporary. Thanks for flagging the issue though with the oversized logo - it did look pretty terrible.


Great point - will reduce the logo size and clean it up.


What is missing:

1) Screenshots 2) Better design of the app 3) Better explanation of what the app does ?

The website looks 2002, and because of 1 and 2 ti doesn't make me want to try the app sorry.


This is actually more than 1 year old, and it was already on hacker news..
