CyanogenMod CM7: Teach your old Droid New Tricks
Has your Android smartphone’s OS gotten long in the tooth? Thinking about upgrading to a new device mid-contract, but can’t bear the thought of getting hit with a nasty “early upgrade” fee and paying full retail? Do you want to try the latest features of Android Gingerbread? Then maybe CyanogenMod is for you.
If you’ve been closely watching the Android space, you’re probably aware that Google has recently released version 2.3 “Gingerbread” of its smartphone operating system, which currently only ships on the Samsung Nexus S phone.
Carriers such as Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are taking their sweet time getting out updates for current model and older model phones such as the HTC EVO 4G, The Droid Incredible, The Droid X and even the original Motorola Droid.
