Moving up the Android Ladder

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 which used to run CyanogenMod 7.1, until a few days ago, I encountered some issues. So, I decided to live on the edge and install the nightly version of CyanogenMod 9. Yep, not even a release candidate when I installed it (there is now). That’s just how I roll.

Well, instead of doing some in-depth review or talking about the future of the Android platform, I’ll just do this one fun and fast:

Stuff I Like about CyanogenMod 9 / ICS

• I can customize the controls in the notification bar - mine currently included WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, Sound/Vibrate, Brightness and Orientation Lock.
• Chrome. Fucking Chrome.
• It feels fast.
• There’s a Google search box on every screen in my desktop.
• I like the new graphics style.
• Natively customizable lock screen.

Stuff I Don’t Like About It

• For the life of me, I can’t figure out how to delete a screen in the desktop.
• No folders in the app list, srsly?

That’s pretty much it. You can probably guess my recommendation is to install it right away.
