When you combined official CyanogenMod installs with the abundance of installs of kanged ROMs in the wild, the number of users has now eclipsed 1 million. Quite the number, right there. Congrats CM team, can’t wait to see the official CM9 when it rolls out.  

A fortunate owner of a Motorola RAZR (not the the DROID version) jumped into fastboot to find that his device’s bootloader was showing as being “unlocked.” He claims that he has not unlocked the phone himself and would also not offer many other details as to how his phone got this way.

From what we have read, he has already sent off the bootloader to devs to see if it can be used to unlock other devices. By no means does this mean that we will all have unlocked bootloaders on the U.S. DROID RAZR, however, it is at least worth looking into. We will likely know more within the next few days. Try not to get your hopes up too high just yet, but feel free to cross a couple of fingers and that something good can come out of this.

Update:  It looks like devs have already done quite a bit of work on this and came up empty. You can read more here. (Via @LeviSnuts)

The built-in app switcher for Ice Cream Sandwich makes jumping between your most recently used apps a breeze and is easily one of our favorite features. In previous versions of Android, you were stuck with 6-10 of your previous apps in a not-so-fashionable box without much control over them other than the ability to tap to initiate. In Android 4.0, not only can you scroll through a list, but you can swipe them away if you no longer want them appearing or to help tidy up your list. It’s a massive change, but again, almost everything is in ICS.

Well, what if not everyone was as satisfied as we were and actually wanted their app switcher to function horizontally rather than vertically? The developer community for this phone has you covered with this new “webOS” styled switcher that flips your most recently used apps list on its side. You should still be able to swipe them away, only this time it’s up or down rather than left or right.  

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus.  Receiving so much love.  Feels good, right?  The newest feature we are going to boast about is a touch enabled version of ClockworkMod Recovery which is available for the Galaxy Nexus.  It is still in Alpha (Beta now), but is completely usable and available for download. 

There is a huge amount of development for this phone and we are loving it.  The latest goodies are some excellent boot animations that have been readjusted to fit the Galaxy Nexus’ humongous screen.  Above we have 3 of our favorites that you can flash or replace over your existing boot animation.  Along with those above, there are many tantalizing choices, so please head on over to RootzWiki to see the full list.
