CyanogenMod 7 gets Alpha release for Nexus S, other phones under development

As a nice Christmas surprise, Koush released an Alpha of CyanogenMod 7, running Gingerbread 2.3 for the Nexus S. It's still an early build, so there are bugs, but the CyanogenMod team is busy at work to get everything smoothed out and start publishing actual release candidates. CM7 for the Nexus S is available via ROM Manager or from the xda-developers thread here.

And not just the Nexus S is getting CM7 love, there are early builds out there for the T-Mobile G2/Desire Z, MyTouch 4G, HTC EVO 4G, and Nexus One. You may need to use the experimental 3.0 version of ClockworkMod to flash the Gapps package.

Be aware all of these are very unstable and nowhere near complete. Cyanogen himself even warned to those that want to flash early builds. And since none of these builds are official releases, don't bother trying to report bugs or bothering the developers if you brick your phone.

This is great news for all those Android modders that just aren't happy with the stock firmware on their phone and want the latest available version of Android.
