Android Fork Brings Froyo To 12 Smartphones 193
jj110888 writes "CyanogenMod has just been updated to version 6.0, bringing Android Open Source Project 2.2 (Froyo) to several devices. This fork includes enchantments to many of the built-in apps, Ad-hoc network connectivity, OpenVPN support, Bluetooth HID, Incognito browsing, extensive control over audio and UI elements, and more found in the extensive CHANGELOG. The CyanogenMod team uses an instance of Google's gerrit tool for code review and patch submission, helping make this former backport of Android 1.6 to T-Mobile's G1 into thriving development for the G1/MyTouch/MyTouch 1.2, Droid, Nexus One, HTC Aria, HTC Desire, HTC Evo 4G (minus 4G and HDMI output), Droid Incredible, and MyTouch Slide. HTC Hero (including Droid Eris) are coming soon for 6.0, with Samsung Galaxy S devices expected to be supported in 6.1."

Enchantments? iOS doesn't have that. Android rules.

When she hears Froyo has been forked, I know Mom is going to get all psyched and everything. This is exactly why Mom can't stand the iPhone, because we never hear such sweet news as we do about Android.

Are you kidding? Apple fans are constantly accused of being under some sort of spell.

Android Rules...and Droid Does...hmmm.
If past confusingly-worded advertisements [blogspot.com] are any indication, we should look forward to:

Yeah, according to the release notes, they added a +1 bonus to the Music and Deskclock apps, amongst others, and added 1d6 [Fire] elemental damage to the Torch app.
