The new Android 2.2-compatible version of Cyanogen, a hacker-created extension for the Android mobile operating system, was released this weekend. The new version of the popular mod is already being downloaded by scores of Android users who want more from their phones.
Android owners who "root" their phones can install CyanogenMod 6.0 to boost speed and battery life and add features not supported in the factory version of the operating system, such as music app enhancements, browser enhancements and FLAC playback support.
Rooting is a process similar to jailbreaking for the iPhone that gives users more freedom to modify a phone's software (see our coverage, How to Hack Your Android Phone and Why You Should Bother).
Mods like Cyanogen claim to increase speed and performance and add features to your Android device, which may be especially useful for users with older phones. Google's Nexus One handset, for example, is a beloved early-generation Android phone that could potentially be modified to improve performance.
