I'm very excited to finally have an actual file in hand for CM7. Just FYI though, before you flash too soon:
Not working:
Audio
Bluetooth
Accelerometer
accelerated Video decoding
Suspend
TS calibration on A28/A32/A43
Known problems:
general instability / random crashes
Touchscreen has problems on the A101
hard to use on resistive TS models due to missing calibration
There's still some work to be done before it's a daily use ROM, but hopefully we can help out and fix some of these issues.

Great news guys! Look forward to testing it.

How do I edit the list?
Code:
Cyanogen||/cyanogen.img|/sbin/init|1
Update
This is really great, but you can notice this is an alfa version

That's probably why you got such a response funny enough im sure you was one of the first crying out for Cyanogen on gen8 at least we have something and not just a topic with users slagging each other off!!
Thankyou gbohm openaos and especially bubu for all of your hard work, great start
