It feels like only yesterday the CyanogenMOD team released CM6 and the Release Candidates were mature enough to be your everyday software on your phone.  Now we have CM7 popping up on a lot of devices.  Although there are no official CM7 builds being released from the CyaongenMOD team the source devs are working on is available for anyone to download, compile, and release.  GridLock has been building the Release for a number of the latest and greatest devices and doing an amazing job.

So if you’re looking to test out CM7 on your device, check the lists below to see if your device is supported in these builds.

If you want top see the MT4G version running, I did a Video Quick Look of build #20 on the T-Mobile myTouch 4G over the weekend.

Again, these are not official CM7 builds from TeamDouche and you should use them at your own risk as they still considered pre-release even though they may be pretty stable and usable as your daily ROM.

Please do NOT submit any bug reports to TeamDouche as these builds are nothing to do with them.  Once TeamDouche release the official CM7 builds, then you can bother them with your problems.

Please read through any threads that exists for these builds as they all have some differences that may cause issues.  You should also be aware that many of these builds need new recovery images to support the new format that CM7 uses.  The new recovery images don’t support CM6 releases either so returning back to CM6 can requires you to flash back an older recovery images.


These build are currently available for the following devices (there may be more):

  • HTC Ace / Desire HD (Support Thread) by gridlock32404
  • HTC Bravo / Desire (Support Thread) by gilmorenator
  • HTC Glacier / T-Mobile myTouch 4G (Support Thread) by Option94
  • HTC Passion / Nexus One
  • HTC Supersonic / HTG Sprint EVO 4G
  • HTC Vision / T-Mobile G2 (Support Thread) by rhcp

He is also working on several other builds that should be available soon, they include:
