Discussing the great news the rom maker on its blog said:
Users of Sony Ericsson devices have been left out of the CyanogenMod experience for a while now. We are happy to announce that users will be able to enjoy a full-fledged CyanogenMod with nearly full hardware support (we are still working on FM radio) starting in our next release. You can also expect nightly builds and more instructions soon.
It’s awesome to see that CyanogenMod is continuing the great work it does when it comes to giving support to phones who have been forgotten by either the carrier or manufacturer. This is refreshing to most users, especially since CyanogenMod’s Steve Kondik founder announced he would be working for Samsung — an announcement which worried many loyal followers of the future of the great custom Android ROMs.
