The wait for the latest version of the CyanogenMod custom Android ROM is finally over, CyanogenMod 7 has been officially released. CyanogenMod is a customized version of Android that adds additional features to your smartphone. CM7 is based on the Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) kernel (Gingerbread was released initially with the Samsung Nexus S). While it isn’t a release slated to hit most phones by default (2.4 is the next official release, rumor has it), many ROM makers have embraced Gingerbread as the release to hack onto phones. It’s necessary to root your phone to run it, with the list of devices running it grows from about 30 currently. For more details head on over to cyanogenmod.com right now and check the changelog and to see if your device is supported. If and when you flash, make sure you check out the forums there as well, it’s full to the rim with helpful advice. Based on Google’s Gingerbread 2.3.3 Android OS, CyanogenMod 7.0 is available to download here, and will be finding its way to ROM Manager sooner rather than later for those not so keen on performing the flashing process manually. No word yet on how well the final release of CM7 runs on any of the 30 supported devices, we will provide more information as it is made available.
