Droid Incredible Android 2.3.2 Gingerbread with CyanogenMod 7 Release Candidate

If you happen to own an HTC Droid Incredible smartphone and don’t mind tinkering with you precious device when it comes to unofficial software installs apparently you can now grab a slice of Android 2.3.2 Gingerbread for your Droid Incredible.

According to an article over on Droid-life by Kellex, CyanogenMod has now released the CynogenmMod 7 Release Candidate, which is apparently stable for everyday use.

For anyone wishing to take advantage of CyanogenMod 7 Release Candidate you can download all the necessary source code from the CynogenMod Github repo where the changelog is also available.

For first time flashing CyanogenMod 7 you will need to root your HTC Droid Incredible and install ClockworkMod Recovery, perform a NANDroid backup of your current ROM, format data, system and cache partitions, do a factory reset and then flash CyangenMod, full instructions can be found at their website.

So looks like CyanogenMod has done the usual and delivers the Android Gingerbread operating system yet again before a manufacturer or carrier, so anyone tempted to grab CyanogenMod 7?
