hey guys it's Jill with pocketnow.com now it should come as no surprise that I'm a really big fan of CyanogenMod ten custom ROM I'm also a really big fan of the Nexus 10 luckily CyanogenMod team has been hard at work and we now have a 10.1 nightly build that's stable enough for me to show you that's what I want to do right now let's go take a look so here's my Nexus 10 I've gone ahead and routed and unlocked it OEM unlocked the whole deal I have just installed CyanogenMod 10.1 and I've set this up so that it works with my my Google account credentials so let's go ahead and unlock for the first time we'll do that I've got my make yourself at home tutorial just okay through that and the first thing we've got is CyanogenMod statistics up here this is Error reporting and whatnot so if there is problems the CyanogenMod team is automatically made of ware of them i usually leave that on by default but that shows you that we do in fact have CyanogenMod 10.1 running you'll notice down here some of the goodies are missing under system we go into about tablet we can see that yep CyanogenMod updates is there and CyanogenMod stats we can get into make those changes there as well this is running version 4.2.1 but where am i cool overclocking and and other stuff well let's go in and take a look we got to come in here to eyes Android version we tap and up that just gives us our jelly bean so let's come in and do our our CyanogenMod version that gives us our jelly bean come in to build number and that's what gives us our developer stuff I knew that I just wanted to show off this other stuff to you because there's that CyanogenMod jelly bean that well it's new to me and hopefully it's new to you too but now that gives us not only the developer options that you're accustomed to by doing that build number hack that we just showed you but also performance let's go ahead and jump in there yes the disclaimer will okay through that go in and check out our processor stuff it's got an interactive governor that is one of the better ones you can change it to one of the others if you like it performance userspace and whatnot I just leave it at interactive performance arguably gets you a little bit better performance in benchmarks and games and whatnot but their pros and cons to it so let's go ahead and take a look at this the minimum CPU frequency is 200 megahertz that's grayed out the maximum CPU frequency is 1700 that's grayed out and you can see how it's jumping up and down here and of course you can restore these settings on boot this version of CyanogenMod 10 nightly you cannot make those changes so keep that in mind let's go back out of that to our i/o scheduler if you want to get in and change IO scheduling you can do that there's well memory management allow purging of assets I always like to do that there is no z ram like we showed you in the previous video about the nexus 4 speed up tips if you missed that video by the way really kind of cool it shows you some of the advanced stuff that you can do in here I'll have a link to that at the end of this video you can come in and change our transparency to 16-bit this doesn't look as good but it can help speed things up you do have to reboot after that and then surface improvement I usually like to fix color banding and blur effect again I don't think you have to reboot on that one but not a bad thing to do other CyanogenMod goodies that you have up here at the top of course we have the trebuchet launcher so you can change your home screen you can change the grid size how many rows and columns do you want we probably want more than that but I'm gonna leave it stuck just right now the number of home screens I usually like having three home screens the default screen if there's only three and it's the middle one for me so that's number two if you want extra vertical or horizontal padding you can do that turning on and off the persistent search bar allowing any widget to be resized I like that one if you want to hide the labels because you know what they are just looking at the icon I mean that's what icons are for right you can do that in here you can scroll wallpaper yeah you've seen all this stuff before it's just very nicely adapted over here for for the Nexus 10 for the 10-inch tablet just walk you through a couple more of the things here auto-rotate screen do that okay lock screen you're going to make some changes there that's the stock themes of course you can do CyanogenMod ten themes you can even apply cm9 themes to it as well though you are usually going to get an asset error just continue through that and you're just fine it comes with the stock went by a default interestingly enough if you look at themes it shows you that the buttons are over here on the side and they're obviously in the middle so a little discrepancy between the screenshot and what you actually get a CyanogenMod system we can change stuff in the status bar showing our clock this is what a lot of us like to do circle with percentage you'll want to go in and make that change because it's just awesome showing the notification count up here in the top so if you've got multiple apps being updated if you've got multiple emails it'll show you all that right up there so you can just tell really quickly how many you've got really kind of cool there of course users this is nothing new this is something that CyanogenMod had before but now of course it's built in stock with CM ten so no worries about that or cm 10.1 rather all kinds of fun stuff profiles I really like profiles in CyanogenMod I can set a different profile for home night if I want it to just be silent or work and then I can switch between those profiles just by hitting the power button and changing the profile to something else now I can have this turn on and off Bluetooth Wi-Fi volume up/down just tons and tons of stuff that I can do with it and I can also do that through NFC as well on devices that support NFC so we just fired up and ran Geekbench to with just a few of the tweaks available and you're saying we're getting a benchmark score of 24 23 we're gonna go ahead and do the same thing with quadrant run that through it really fast now if you want to see the benchmarks that come with the stock version of Android rather than the CyanogenMod version make sure you head over to the article at pocketnow.com I will have a link to that article at the bottom of this one so you can get your your benchmark comparison over there and here's our quadrant score 52:13 so not bad at all let's just walk through some some overall behavior we'll tilt this and get it back into landscape mode for us as far as performance it's very fast and fluid not more so or less so than the stock rom at least not on the face of it same thing as far as this goes let's fire up an app and see how quick it is got Firefox pre-loaded let's just load that up so you can see see how it does when we look at a website so overall I'm very good it launches apps quickly you can navigate around its a nightly so it's still got some rough edges for example you know we told it that we only wanted three home screens here and you can see it's got more than three home screens very obviously so there's still things to be done this is not stable this is nightly it's for you to get in and play with and see how it works for you so what do you think about it we want to know what's your favorite part of CM 10.1 that we didn't cover here share that over in the comments pocket now calm so we can all learn about well the pretty bits that are hiding inside our custom roms so there you go CyanogenMod 10.1 nightly running on the Google Nexus 10 if you liked what you saw make sure you give the video a big thumbs up if you'd like
