HTC Phones - CyanogenMod 5.0 For Google Nexus One Release

Google Nexus One

Cyanogen just released the CyanogenMod 5.0 beta4 for Google Nexus One. The new ROM is based on Android 2.1_r1 or ERD79, and features:

  • Can be used with or without Google applications
  • Latest 2.6.29.6 kernel which supports highmem (thanks to Arve Hjønnevåg @ Google for this work), tethering (thanks to Zinx and Ben Buxton for the RNDIS backport), VPN/tun, and other modules (cifs, nfs, aufs, fuse)
  • Clean shutdown/startup system
  • NO APPS2SD. I’ve implemented a hack that will store the dalvik-cache of system apps in /cache, which saves you ~40MB on /data
  • Built in USB tether
  • Minor graphical enhancements and an excellent wallpaper by Prash
  • ARM NEON optimizations (mostly to the pixelflinger library) which have not been included in the stock build yet
  • Includes BusyBox, htop, nano, powertop, openvpn, and all engineering commandline utilities
  • Multitouch browser using native API and code from Luke Hutchison. More MT integration coming.
  • FLAC audio support from Kenny Root
  • Phone enhancements from Cytown
  • Contacts enhancements from Wysie
  • Perform zipalign-on-install of applications
  • DeskClock tweaks- longer autosilence and “require unlock” option
  • Compcache is available via Spare Parts, but I don’t recommend it
  • Massive APN list
  • Huge collection of ringtones and audio
  • All available locales are included thanks to PsychoBoy
  • Many other bugfixes and tweaks from AOSP contributors
