This is cool, but I prefer Solid Explorer. It is pretty awesome.

This is awesome, CM is becoming it’s own distro of Android.

… and that version of CM10 will be the most stable and the least buggy of all common ROMs. I love nightlies and experimental release as much as anyone, but as late as previous release of AOKP (b5) I had usability issues with calling, and a few random reboots here and there, which I haven’t yet been able to test on the new release. While we are all on the next experimental version of AOSP, less savvy users looking for a more solid experience will have an amazing alternative to the stock manufacturer version of their OS.
It’s not always about biggest and baddest, or the latest. One of the reasons Apple products get praise from users is the polish of their functionality. Yeah, the iPhone may be behind on many features, but the ones they do have are constantly rehashed and are made more usable.

Honestly it doesn’t make much sense to wait for RC on the GN, I can understand your fears or damaging you phone but generally nightlies on devices which have already received the updates officially are rock stable especially nexus devices, in some cases even more so than the official version.

Works very well almost as good as solid explorer although It’s missing some features such as multiple panels. I prefer it over ES explorer though, especially because of the better interface. I can’t however understand why it can only be used in landscape mode on my N7 while only in portrait mode on my phone. While it needs to be refined I think it may be on its way to removing any need for different file managing apps, as for now I prefer solid explorer.

Really? Because I don’t think a dark theme would add any functionality.

The M series are pretty much the same quality as most other ROM release candidates. Who cares what it’s called? The stability of the ROM is what matters. The initial release is quite stable and ready to be a daily driver. I believe they are on M2 now, with M3 due in a week or so. Who else has a release candidate or stable that is better that CM10? I love AOKP too btw, they are also on Milestones.

useless without a dark theme.

True statement. When CM10 RC1 drops, I will be one of the first to flash it, no doubt. I will just probably roll back to my backup very shortly after because I will be missing a feature that I have had for months now.

You’re right…they’ll have a flagship version of CM10 when we’re all onto the next major version of Android on the GNex.

On the contrary, I think they are making themselves a flagship consumer ROM, while many others are experimental
