CyanogenMod nightlies reach Samsung Galaxy S III, Nature UX critics unite

[![CyanogenMod nightlies reach Samsung Galaxy S III, Nature UX critics unite][1] ][2]

Let's say you're a fan of the quad-core processor and giant screen of the international [Galaxy S III][3], but Samsung's Nature UX just leaves you feeling cold. Thankfully, the first [CyanogenMod][4] 9 nightly builds have arrived to warm you up. They both bring the OS closer to the official [Android Open Source Project][5] version while adding the extras that [we've seen before][6], such as theme support, an audio equalizer and gesture shortcuts on the lock screen. Nightlies are well away from becoming polished releases, so don't be surprised if your Galaxy S III goes awry -- the team is already advising starting from a completely blank slate. But if that desire to get more control over the OS is still strong enough to throw at least a slight amount of caution to the wind, the source will provide all the downloads and details needed to give Samsung's interface the boot.
