II just saw that it was released for testing and the like? Any AC people try it? I'm still debating if I want to bother with a alpha (and I still really like sense).
 
Pole,

Let us know how it goes and pls provide some visuals. I want to try this. So much that i downloaded it but just unsure. Due to the leaked radio file issues i just got done with.

I do have stock RUU i could revert to if i needed to. But yea let us know whats up.

Trying it soon follow my twitter for instant updates pics to follow...
 
I tried it for an hour or two; Changed back to perfect storm 1.4. Too many things missing on it now for me stick with it, I'm not a die hard CM fan (tried it on the inc for a while too). I think CM has a very vocal following that stems from the olden days.

I'll try again once things like 4G, gps, 720p, some root apps, tethering, etc are back up since I've just grown too accustomed to them.

It was fun to try something new, definitely a nice fresh new ROM compared to what's out now. I'll go look up the benefits of CM7/6 in more depth. I'm excited to maybe try any MIUI ROMs now since I've heard a lot about them too.

Thanks Forgetful,
I've been very happy with BAMF 1.5 remix, but it seems there's a huge following for the CM7 product.
Last I read, it was very incomplete at this time and I didn't know if that changed.
The biggest glaring instance was SMS not working...is that still the case as of right now?

I'm looking forward to trying it...but as the developer said, "It's still baking" right now...
 
Well being the n00b that I am to these phones I couldn't figure out where market even was in CM7 let alone find out how to download it. The new radio worked just fine. I was able to SMS and call my brother on 3G and we had no problems. Connected to WIFI just fine.

Being so used to BAMF it just felt so... foreign! Looks good though. Its definitely not finished but MAN there is alot of customization to be had!

Use rom manager to download gapps. or page six of the xda thread has a link.
 
OK guys since I didn't know about gapps CM7 is now rebooting and I'll DL the apps and hopefully take some shots. They'll be pretty basic though. This CM7 is SOOOOO foreign to me!!!

It blazes. BUT... you gotta remember its bone dry. I had nothing up and running like I usually do. Nice to see sense go byebye though. Funny... other ROMs? 200+MBs... this one, only a mere 88. Pulled alot of that Sense crap out...

But yes, definitely fast.

I might give this a try later tonight after work, depending on how crazy a days its been. Let us know how it feels once you've played with it for a few more hours...
 
I know it's an alpha, but it's missing the biggest/must have feature... 4G!!! Its running silky smooth and it feels good to be back on stock. I think I'm going to stick with it for a while to see how battery life is compared to sense.
