I see that they added Droid X support with CM 7.1


Why should I do it?


What advantages do I gain by rooting?



Remove bloatware.


You control updates not the cell phone provider or manufacturer.


Overclocking extends the useful life of your device.


Most importantly, because cause you can

CM7 with dual boot is great. The only issues that still bug me are wifi related..

CM9 with no video? I will probably wait. I use my touchpad to watch movies quite a bit. If they get video working I'll upgrade. Those folks at CM are amazing though so maybe they'll get it



Oh they said they won't release CM9 until they get video working, I'd probably pass it until it got that too. Wifi is going to take time to improve on as the same drivers are also used in the WebOS kernal, and it regrettably sucks. Those will take some tweaking until they're perfect

CM9 won't have camera for a while when it is released (not that the one for CM7 was any good either)

i managed to get 2 during the firesale and I have to say they are phenomenal tablets....i would never pay $500+ for one...that's just idiocy to pay that much for any tablet....but for $99 it was an easy decision

Alpha version is out

Very awesome. A really beautiful OS and there's no lag at all. Very fluid.

Well you're going to need to download the gapps again (market place and whatnot) but so far nothing bad other than one time my touchpad rebooted (I have it overclocked though, so it might not be stable to do that at this build)

Other than that, it runs like CM7 which I consider very smooth and defiantly worth using. Beautiful OS though, extremely fluid and it runs some apps better (in my opinion) that need GPU acceleration like GTA, so it does work with 3D games very well. All the apps work that I have used and were transferred from CM7. I don't need to do that fake GPS thing either to get facebook to work. Not sure if facebook or if ICS/CM9 did that though
