Today, the long awaited CyanogenMod 7.1 has been released and with it brings added support for some two dozen additional devices. The CM team also mentions that beta builds are available for the HTC Sensation, myTouch 4G Slide, EVO 3D, HP TouchPad, and the LG Optimus. The changelog is below, but the most important one is the addition of Android 2.3.7.
It seems as though amidst the talks of a buyout, Sony Ericsson, has been on board with the CM team and provided developers over 20 devices to aid in the development of CM 7.1. Because of these efforts, CyanogenMod 7.1 now has support for all recent SEMC devices and is looking to add additional partnerships with other manufacturers, “We will soon be providing a porting guide and some information on how vendors can get involved with the project and how/why it will benefit them.”
CM prefers installation via ROM Manager but the latest release can also be downloaded from their mirror network. If you have questions or would like help with CM 7.1, head over to the forums. Installation and other instructions can be found through their wiki link.
