CM9's first stable release lands for GSM Galaxy Nexus

![CM9's first stable release lands for GSM Galaxy Nexus][1]

Well, it's certainly taken a [while][2], but the popular [CyanogenMod][3] finally has a stable version of its [ninth iteration][4]. It's yet to hit the ROM's homepage, but that's probably because its only available for the GSM Galaxy Nexus at the moment. The Ice Cream Sandwich-based ROM has clearly posed some issues for the devs, but it's worming its way towards a wide release and work on CM10 (which is based on [Jelly Bean][5]) is already progressing quite nicely. In many ways moving to a build of Android 4.0.4 will be a step backwards for those running stock 4.1, but CM9's support for themes, gestures and the top-notch DSP equalizer will surely lure a few away from the official Google release. Hit up the source to download the stable Maguro-friendly release for yourself.
