Samsung Galaxy S III joins the CyanogenMod party, nightly builds now available

For as much praise as you can heap on the Galaxy S III, plenty of Android purists take issue with the customer user interface Samsung has been slowly evolving over the years. Luckily, Samsung is pretty open to the idea of letting people tinker with the devices operating system. Even luckier for those folks, CyanogenMod 9 nightly builds are now available.

CM9 delivers a near-stock Android 4.0 experience while providing a few finely-crafted tweaks to enhance usability, including a master audio equalizer and lockscreen gesture controls. The builds currently available for GS3 are far from the finished product, but they offer a nice look at where things are headed. While those new to modding their Android device may want to hold off, those without fear of buggy software or the potential to brick your device can head to the XDA link below for all the appropriate info.
