CyanogenMod 9 Stable

Some good news for CyanogenMod users this week. Many builds featuring CyanogenMod 9's stable release have begun to be rolling out. As stated by the CyanogenMod team this is probably the last release of new Ice cream sandwich source code. The main reason behind this is because most devices with CyanogenMod 9 on it are fully functional and tend to perform better than stock. The CM team is now shifting its focus entirely to Android 4.1 that is Jelly Bean. Most devices still do not have CyanogenMod 10 ports.

There are many devices out there that are deprived of ICS but still thanks to CyanogenMod devices like the Samsung Galaxy S have also got Jelly Bean ports. There is no doubt that suce devices can easily run ICS and Jelly Bean. CyanogenMod team will now whole heartedly work on Jelly Bean and fix those bugs soon. Do not expect stable CM10 yet, but expect a nice Jelly Bean experience. There are also many unnofficial builds out there rolling out day after day. Good work CyanogenMod!! All the best for CyanogenMod 10.

Save android phone battery with Data Enabler

The major drawback of android phones is that the battery drains far to quickly. Drainage of battery when the device is in use is accepted but what when your device is in sleep mode? There are things running at the background that eat up your battery. These background processes use your android device's packet data or 3g for sync and other purposes. A lot of people use battery saver apps but what I have noticed is that these apps do not fit perfectly for all kinds of users and they may end up draining more battery than saving. The best practice is to switch of your android device's internet when not in use. But who like going all the way to settings and disabling internet? We don't want to waste time do we? So a simple solution to this problem is a small widget on your home screen that enables you to switch on and switch off your packet data (internet) as per your own requirement. Its just a small and neat button that does it job fast and efficiently. This would not only save battery but also help you cut down bills.
