CynogenMod 10 Alpha Builds Now Available For Sony Xperia Devices

The good news is that Sony announced a while back that 2011 Xperia devices will be seeing the update, although an exact date still remains unknown. However if you don’t mind flashing custom ROMs onto your Android device, and assuming you have the know-how, you might be interested to learn that thanks to XDA Recognized Developer FXP, seven Xperia devices now have access to CyanogenMod 10 Alpha builds.Normally, there would be a laundry list of developers responsible for a laundry list of CM10 releases like this. 

That is not the case this time. XDA Recognized Developer FXP is actually responsible for all of them. In fact, FXP has released all the CM10 ROMs in the same threads as the CM7 and CM9 releases, making CyanogenMod really easy to find for these devices.




As expected, they are alpha builds. This means that there are bound to be bugs in each ROM—some of which may not be that bad, but a few could be deal breakers for now. While there isn’t a list in the thread that lists the bugs, users can use FXP’s bug tracker for each ROM to find out exactly what’s wrong. Users have reported that at least network, WiFi, camera, and a few other basic features indeed work. While it may not be great for daily use, it’s definitely stable enough to enjoy.
