Root Cyanogenmod-7.0.1-alpha10

[cyberbob25]

I just recently picked up a Sensation. I've wanted it for a long while, but the price has finally come down to where I can afford it.

I cannot however live without Cyanogenmod. Looking on his site, I see that there is no stable release, and alpha 10 has been out for quite awhile now without any new releases. I also can find no nightlies. I'm also having difficulty finding known bugs with the alpha 10 release.

Anybody here running this release? What are the known bugs? Is all hardware functional (camera, et all)?

Thanks for any help. I'm hesitant to go S-OFF until I know that I can live with one of the rooted ROMs available, as I can still return this device and go with a galaxy IIs (though would rather not).

You want CM9 its unofficial but almost fully working.

Unfortunately, the lack of bluetooth is a killer for me. Once that's fixed, I'll be all over CM9. Until then, does everything work on CM7?

My Sensation 4G has no complaints with CM7. I've been using it for a month and change with only minor issues - for instance, the News & Weather application is particularly finicky, but it *had* worked at one point on alpha10, so I'm leaning more towards some other conflict causing that failure.

Aside from the FM radio app, all hardware works fine. I'd call it stable enough for day-to-day.

Thank you! This is enough to convince me to go ahead and keep the phone and root.
