Owners of the Defy and Defy+ may have gotten the cold shoulder from Motorola, in terms of the bad news that they won’t see any updates to the latest and greatest versions of Android, but that doesn’t mean they’ve been completely abandoned, at least not by the development community, they haven’t. XDA Recognized Developer, Quarx, has released unofficial versions of CM10 for b... »
With the recent release of Android 4.1.2, it looks like the CyanogenMod team has shelved its plans to launch CM10 M2 — the second milestone edition — until the code is completely merged for such a release. This isn’t necessarily bad news though, as the latest version of Android is already available in the latest CM10 nightly builds, and we definitely want our milestone releases t... »
We’re a little late on reporting this one, just by a couple of days, but there’s so much news to keep up on and we’re such a small (yet awesome) team, it’s hard for us to stay on top of everything. That being said, we’ll never let anything truly important slide more than a couple of days, and for owners of the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note, this news can definitely be ... »

We’ve been privy to some of the earliest leaked Jelly Bean OTA updates, as well as official support from the CyanogenMod team for their CM10 project. As if this wasn’t already enough to keep u... »

If you’ve been keeping tabs on the progress of the team’s Android 4.1 Jelly Bean branch and the nightly builds that have been available for a couple of weeks now, there... »
If you’re rocking a US Samsung Galaxy S III variant and would like to expand on either your 16GB or 32GB worth of storage allotted for apps and games, you might want to have a look at this mod from XDA Senior Member, and our dear friend, zedomax. Max has managed to develop a mod that allows you to swap internal storage with your external SD card so you can increase your app data storage. Or... »
So here comes the CyanogenMod team out of the blue with a new boot animation for CM 10, with no rhyme or reason but to share what they’ve been working on — or maybe to make all of you out there running unofficial CM10 feel closer to “official-ness”. They have tried to slim down the boot and make it sleeker than what it already was, also doing so by removing all their famous... »
This just in from the official CyanogenMod Google+ page: CM10 nightly builds will start popping up later this evening for those who are brave enough to test bleeding edge software on their phones and tablets.

I recently rooted my Galaxy Nexus and installed CM9 on it with the main goal of wanting the change the look of my phone with themes. The first theme that I came across was a one called BluMagic by Smokem_I, via a tweet he sent out with an image showing it off.
