With all the anticipation now focused on the next-generation Galaxy Note II, original Galaxy Note owners are feeling a little slighted. Well, breathe a little life into your original Galaxy Note with the introduction of CyanogenMod 10 Nightlies.

Coming one week after the introduction of the nightlies for the AT&T and international versions of the Galaxy Note, I can tell you after installing CM10 last night, it’s like a whole new phone errr tablet, errr Phablet. Goodbye bloatware, hello performance.

Like all CM10 nightlies, install at your own risk and be ready for some bugs here and there while they work to smooth out the rough edges. It’s the very first nightly, so you’re welcome to keep an eye out for a few days and see how first-adopters react to the software, but I can tell you first hand it’s already a night and day improvement.

To get started, just hit Get.CM with your rooted device and fire up that custom ROM.
