If you've at any time applied CyanogenMod, then you presently know it comes bundled with ROM Manager. Which is the scenario for just one motive : so people can swiftly and simply pull upgrades to the ROM. Nevertheless, this presents a difficulty of types. CyanogenMod is totally open resource, but ROM Supervisor is not. Thus, the team required an update remedy that will make it possible for CM people to pull the most current builds to their devices, but is even now open up supply. So they made their own, which will swap ROM Supervisor in upcoming builds.

This is truly a rehash of an aged model of the updater from CM5 and six (that would seem like so prolonged in the past, doesn't it?) that has been up -to-date to operate with CM9/ 10 and further than.

Since press notifications for upgrades need Google Applications framework, the CM updater is not going to truly consist of that functionality. What it will do, on t he other hand, is routinely check out for updates at person - outlined intervals, and pull the update once one thing is offered.

The updater will pull immediately from get.cm, so you'll generally be receiving official CM builds immediately from the supply. As you can see, it can be personalized to verify for new steady builds, new nightlies, or all builds from either channel.

This will be a huge enhancement over any other strategy of pulling upgrades ( specially manually), so we are certainly looking forward to viewing it debut. As always, on the other hand, you will find no official timeline as to when it may possibly make its way into nightlies.
