CyanogenMod is, as you probably know, the most well established custom ROM for Android. More than a custom ROM or Android firmware offered as an alternative to the one distributed by the manufacturer, CyanogenMod has become the best known and appreciated to the available options, though the number has skyrocketed far. Thus, any news on how this custom OS develops is of interest to a growing number of users who will take advantage of all the effort of the group of responsible developers.
Now CyanogenMod 11 based on Android 4.4 KitKat is offered in M6 stage, including new features, though the build is in an unstable version.
If you are interested in seeing what’s new in this version and install it, you can check if the update is set for your device and can be downloaded from the official website. The list includes LG G-Pad, HTC One S, Motorola Razr, Google Galaxy Nexus from Verizon and Sprint devices and many more besides these.
Before installing a custom ROM, the device needs root, as you probably know, and that normally deplete the warranty, and also can lead to the brick of the device making it permanently unusable, so this action requires an advanced user.
If you are one, then go to the CyanogenMod11 M6 download webpage and install the new update.
To get CM 11 M6 on your Android smartphone or tablet, first make sure your device is compatible for the update and then you can choose to download and flash the ROM manually. Alternatively you can use the CM Insatller and have the process automated for you, or if you already run a CyanogenMod ROM go to Settings-> About phone, tap CyanogenMod updates and download the update over the air.
