Are you a serious custom ROM junkie? Always need to have the latest and greatest build on your handset? Over at CyanogenMod, the team realizes that even those users who like to live life out on the bleeding edge sometimes crave a little stability in their lives; to that end, the group has announced the start of monthly M-Series releases.

Basically, M-Series builds are like the cream of the crop of nightlies, selected for being relatively stable and of high quality. Once a month, so the plan goes, ROMs for a select group of devices will receive such M-Series releases, still considered experimental, but hopefully a lot more polished and reliable than the regular series of builds that arrives between major releases.

Today, they get things started with the M1 release of CyanogenMod 10 for 18 Androids, mostly Samsung models. If you’ve got one of the phones listed below, and have been looking for a ROM that makes a good balance between being cutting-edge and reliable, give these M-Series releases a look.
