CyanogenMod ROMs give Android users the latest Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean treats to their otherwise-neglected smartphones, and it's mostly open-source except for one piece: the boarded-off ROM Manager.

Something we have learned over the past few months is that if you don’t release, someone else will do it for you. Since we are open-source, we absolutely encourage it! Unfortunately, the quality of unofficial builds can vary, and we are serious about quality. Of course nightlies are always available, but we realized that having something that is a bit more stable on a more frequent basis is important. Starting now, we are rolling out our M-Series releases. M-Series builds will be done at the beginning of every month.

The crew's early looks suggest that there will only be a few minor tweaks needed to merge Google's latest with the custom Android code, making CyanogenMod 10 a relative snap to produce.

The Nook Tablet may be a solid gadget on its own, but tinkerers are obviously itching to have at it. Since its release in November last year, full root attempts include using the "zergRush" method, and some have figured out how to sideload Android apps onto it. So perhaps you'll be pleased to know that the hackers have found a way to run CyanogenMod 7 on the Barnes & Noble tablet.
