CyanogenMOD 7 Launches Alpha build for Sensation and Evo3D

Looks like the CyanogenMOD team has added two more devices to their list of support for the infamous CM7.1. After a lot of hard work, CyanogenMOD 7 is now available for the HTC Sensation and the HTC Evo 3D The current release is still an Alpha build so expect issues. As with most devices that they are currently building for, it will only get better with time. Below are a list of how this build is responding on both devices.

The current buglist for HTC Sensation 4G (Provided by developer):
-Recording 1080p video for a couple minutes causes a soft reboot
-Misc minor scaling issues
-Skype requires a speaker toggle for audio to work correctly
-Small issue where wifi calling FCs on boot for EU Sensations. This will be fixed.
-Bluetooth headset is untested because no one on the team has one. I don’t know if it is a bug or not.

KNOWN ISSUES For HTC Evo 3D:
- Bluetooth borked for now
- nextflix has a security issue
- wimax broken for now
- keyboard all massive. I use Gingerbread keyboard from the market
- taking 3d images and video not working
- 3d pictures (mpo, jps, ect) do not display in 3d
- FFC takes pics upside down
- battery gauge wonky

If you are itching to get this installed on your Sensation, head over to RootzWiki’s CM7 Sensation section. Alternatively, if you have an Evo 3d, you will want to head to the dedicated Evo 3D CM7 thread for your device. Both locations will provide you will details of how to install this to your device as well as provide links to the official changelog and downloads.

Great job guys! Pretty soon there won’t be a device left on the market that can’t be all running true Android.
