Android 4.4 KitKat arrives on Xperia Z1 and many others, courtesy of CyanogenMod 11 nightlies
The availability of the latest version of the most popular custom ROM for Android, CyanogenMod, has been expanded to even more mobile devices, the CyanogenMod team announced. Popular devices, such as the Sony Xperia Z1, Z Ultra, as well as the Samsung Galaxy S II, Galaxy Note 2 and some carrier-specific versions of the Samsung Galaxy S III, are among the new devices that receive the Android 4.4 KitKat flavour through nigtly builds of CyanogenMod 11.
Up until now, the latest version of the CyanogenMod ROM was available for these devices, but the builds were experimental and quite unstable. With the introduction of the nightlies, ROM enthusiasts that sport one of the newly-added devices will benefit from steadier builds.
However, take into consideration that nightly builds usually contain a lot of bugs and it's not guaranteed that they will work flawlessly.
Nightly builds for these devices can be downloaded from CyanogenMod's official web page. A link has been provided for your convenience at the source.
