The team creates some of the world’s widely used custom ROMs, they’ve already started work on CyanogenMod 10.2 for Android 4.3, and the feature set is quite impressive. 11 additional Android devices have now been added to the list that is supported by CM, the list includes two Barnes & Noble tablets, a few Motorola smartphones and a couple of Samsung ones as well.

The B&N Nook HD and HD+ get CyanogenMod support. Representing Motorola on the list are the Photon Q CDMA and GSM models, the Droid Razr M, the Rarz HD GSM, and the Droid Razr HD CDMA. For Samsung, the Galaxy S Relay 4G, the Galaxy S4 for C Spire and Verizon Galaxy Note 10.1 LTE receive support. It is expected that nightly CyanogenMod builds for these devices will be released over the next few days.

CyanogenMod Now Supports 11 Additional Android Devices original content from Ubergizmo.

Smartphone photography is serious business these days, every year the latest devices come bearing beefier camera sensors. To provide a great photography experience, these sensors need to be backed up by powerful camera apps. CyanogenMod Project, which is behind some of the most used custom Android ROMs, has now created a new camera app called Focal. It raises the bar for all stock and vendor modified apps. Focal is actually part of the mysterious CyanogenMod project called Nemesis, under which they will be releasing new features in various phases.

Focal has been built from scratch, its user-interface is widget based that consists of modern Android elements found throughout the OS. Users can drag the focus point anywhere on the viewfinder, or they can tap anywhere for automatic focus. The settings menu can be brought up by swiping your thumb from the left. The camera button expands out and offers toggles for panorama mode, front camera and more.

Panoramic shots can be taken through Focal, CyanogenMod didn’t use Google’s PhotoSphere technology that’s available only for Nexus devices (out of the box). They built their own, called PicSphere, which is totally open source. Other features include a burst mode, improved HDR mode and ability to take pictures while recording video. CyanogenMod nightly builds released from next week will come featuring the Focal app. [Image via Geek]
