The Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 is now officially supported by CyanogenMod 11. The tablet’s first nightly build is available for download now, bringing a taste of pure Android that’s completely free of Samsung’s own TouchWiz user interface.

The latest software update for the OnePlus One has significantly reduced the handset’s battery life for a large number of users. CyanogenMod, which is responsible for the One’s pre-installed software, says issues with the proximity sensor and power management are to blame, and it is already working to roll out a fix.

The latest stable release of CyanogenMod 11 M9 is available to download now, and in addition to bringing a whole bunch of new features and improvements, it adds support for two new smartphones — the HTC One M8 and the Sony Xperia Z2. This is the first stable (non-nightly) CyanogenMod release for both of these devices.

Ever updated an app and found that the latest version just doesn’t work as well as the last, or that the developer suddenly dropped support for routed devices? It’s likely happened to us all at some point, and usually, it’s not easy to fix. But AppDowner lets you install earlier app releases without losing any data.

The OnePlus One ships with one of the biggest and best custom ROMs right out of the box (CyanogenMod), but for those who like to tinker and switch things up every so often, there are other options available — like the Paranoid Android ROM, which now provides official support for the One and a number of devices from Oppo.
