This fork includes enchantments to many of the built-in apps, Ad-hoc network connectivity, OpenVPN support, Bluetooth HID, Incognito browsing, extensive control over audio and UI elements, and more found in the extensive CHANGELOG. The CyanogenMod team uses an instance of Google's gerrit tool for code review and patch submission, helping make this former backport of Android 1.6 to T-Mobile's G1 into thriving development for the G1/MyTouch/MyTouch 1.2, Droid, Nexus One, HTC Aria, HTC Desire, HTC Evo 4G (minus 4G and HDMI output), Droid Incredible, and MyTouch Slide. HTC Hero (including Droid Eris) are coming soon for 6.0, with Samsung Galaxy S devices expected to be supported in 6.1."

cyanogen writes "Root your android phone in less than 30 seconds. (Previous methods could take more than an hour). Most phones can be done with one click, some phones require downloading an additional recovery.img to the SD card, typing the path to it + one click. This exploit will be patched VERY quickly — so it is important to act fast. This exploit is already patched in most custom ROMs, but an OTA update has not been released."
