CyanogenMod 11.0 M3 debuts for over 50 devices
The CyanogenMod team has announced the release of CM 11.0 M Snapshot builds based on Android 4.4 KitKat for as many as 50 devices and variants. The new builds come with a slew of new additions, the most prominent being the revamped Trebuchet launcher, which is now based on KitKat launcher.
“M3 includes the return of Trebuchet, now based on Kitkat’s Launcher3 code base, and has been completely rewritten by its maintainer Nebojša Cvetkovi (nebkat). Additional work has been included to provide universal icon pack support by Danesh M (devatwork),” said the CM team in a blog post. Another major addition is the Privacy Guard, which can be used to control an app from auto-starting. Further, for users updating from 10.2 or a previous 11-M build, the new version of Trebuchet will preserve your home screen data if you were previously using Launcher3 or Trebuchet. Meanwhile, the upcoming release of CM 11.0 will have left-handed navigation bar support, additional transparency in the SystemUI, icon mask support in the launcher, better themes integration, and Google Nowlike experiences in Trebuchet.
