When the team behind CyanogenMod announced that they were releasing an installer for their popular custom ROM, a lot of would be custom ROMers let out a collective sigh of relief. The somewhat cumbersome process of installing CyanogenMod was reduced to an almost one-click solution. However, up until now, the installer has been Windows specific. Fortunately, a beta version of the installer has just been released for Mac OS X.
© CyanogenMOD/ AndroidPIT The CyanogenMod Installer consists of two components: First, you download an app to your smartphone that prepares it for the installation. Secondly, you download an installer to your computer that does the grunt work on transferring over the ROM to your device. While this was ridiculously handy for those who wanted to test out the custom ROM, as long as their device was supported, it left a bunch of people in the dark, as it was Windows only. The beta version for Mac OS X is now available to be tried and tested.
All information relating to the CyanogenMod installer can be found over at their wiki page. We have, in the past, tested out the CyanogenMod Installer for Windows and posted our results in previous articles. We’ll be testing out this one as well and updating this article once we’ve had a good hands on experience with it. As for a list of currently supported devices, check out the CyanogenMod site for further information.
Have you tried out the Mac CyanogenMod Installer? If so, how did it go for you?
