The brainchild and maker of the most popular rom in the Android ecosystem, The CyanogenMod, Steve Kondik appears to have gotten a job at Samsung Mobile as a software engineer. Everyone hopes that this doesn’t affect Cyanogen development, but then there is also the fact that Samsung TouchWiz may just become one beautiful UI.
We will just have to wait and watch.
We always knew the Google Phones had juice under their hoods, But never did we expect it to be a steroid injected super powered beast. Android Community forum member Simms22. hacked and rooted his Nexus S installed Cyanogen Mod 7 and overclocked it to 1.544GHz apart from other little changes. The result ? you ask ! A massive 10082 on the Smartbench 2011 score card, where our beloved Samsung Galaxy S2 only scores 2600.
Check out the pictures.

Check out the video below, that demonstrates how the build lets you control how apps access your information.
