Well, that didn’t take long, now did it? Sprint released its version of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus only a little over a week ago and now we’ve already got our first milestone from the development community in the form of the first official CyanogenMOD 9 build. Now, if that isn’t quick enough for you, you might as well just learn to build ROM’s yourself. This news comes to us from a posting on the CyanogenMOD Google+ page, with very little details other than where to download the build and where to view the changelog.

To save you some time, we’ve included said changelog below:

Release Notes: CM9 alpha1

Known Bugs

Battery usage monitor: Fix in snapshot build 794 or nightly 20120430+.

Google Wallet works, get it from Play Store.

Sprint has confirmed a 3G connectivity problem with stock toroplus AOSP. Please report if this CM9 fixes this problem or not for you.
