Android is an awesome mobile platform, but every Android handset owners will know that it sucks to wait for the manufacturers to update their Android OS version, which takes forever to happen. Luckily, Cyanogen’s got your back as usual and has just released the final v7.0 of the CyanogenMod, now based on Android 2.3.3.

Now there’s an extensive list of supported Android handsets, which is now also extended to a couple of tablets: the B&N Nook Color and the Viewsonic G Tablet. As usual with custom ROMs, we always advice readers to take extra precautions when updating with custom ROMs, as the installation methods might prove confusing, and any wrong steps may possibly get your phones or tablets to brick.

Of course, it’s a good way to taste Gingerbread with your phone, especially to those that may never see their phones getting upgraded even to Froyo, not to say Gingerbread. Full details of the changes made in version 7 plus instructions on how to get it set up on your Android device can be found in the link below.
