14 DAY TRIAL // CyanogenMod was released only a few weeks ago in a stable CM-7 flavor based on Android 2.3 Gingerbread, but it seems that there were some issues with the software, and that the team behind it decided to bring to light a new release, packing a series of fixes for the various bugs the original CyanogenMod-7 landed on shelves with.
Initially deployed as CyanogenMod-7.0.1, the software was updated only shortly after to CyanogenMod-7.0.2, since the first update packed some issues that needed to be resolved fast.
“It’s been about two weeks since we rolled out the first stable version of CyanogenMod-7, and it unfortunately came with a few bugs,” a recent post on the CyanogenMod blog reads.
“7.0.1 brings many bugfixes, including GPS fixes for many devices, a handful a new features, and support for a few devices that weren’t quite ready in time for 7.0 (original Droid).”
All of the fixes included in CyanogenMod-7.0.1 were packed inside 7.0.2 too, along with fixes for the aforementioned problems with the release.
“We found a few last minute bugs in the 7.0.1 release and decided to pull it. 7.0.2 is now available which should correct those issues. Sorry about the epic fail,” another post on the CyanogenMod blog explains.
The software was released as the result of a community effort. CyanogenMod supports various devices, including the Nexus One and Nexus S smartphones, as well as a wide range of other handsets, coming from HTC, Samsung or other companies.
Those of you who would like to learn more info on what the new CyanogenMod-7.0.2 release is set to bring into the mix should head over to this page to read the full changelog (they should have a look at the release notes of CyanogenMod-7.0.1 as well).
The new release can be easily installed through the ROM Manager. Users running the stable version on their devices should receive a notification when the update is available for them.
Those who haven't installed the software before should know that it requires the rooting of the phone, which would result in voided warranty. They would be the only ones responsible in case anything goes wrong during the installation process.
