Cyanogen has finally released the new CM12 Nightly for the Nexus 9, Google’s latest addition to the Nexus tablet family. Cyanogenmod 12 for the Nexus 6 has been available since the announcement but the team has struggled to get CM12 on the Nexus 9.
CM12 for the Nexus 9 is now live and ready to download from the official Cyanogenmod website here. Keep in mind that this is not the final Cyanogenmod 12 version, instead just a Nightly. We expect CM12 to become available in the upcoming months.
