I tried flashing it to my OGDroid and it would not boot past the M logo.

HAHAHAH...I just put CM7.0.3 on my bro-in-laws OGDroid. Last time I put a Rom on his phone, a major release came out the next day too. GRRRR. Oh well, hes happy.

Just put this on my OG Droid. Runs much faster and smoother than the previous release.

It's not even out for the OG Droid

LOL sorry, it's not under "Stable" but it IS out.

Sorry about the multiposting but I can't edit my post in this thread.

Does anyone know why it's 7mb bigger than 7.0.1 ?

RC's are still "experimental". You wont see 7.1 under stable until they do an official release.

The nightly builds work but 7.1 crashes when trying to flash it in Rom Manager. It says operation aborted even after wiping:icon_evil:

No Thunderbolt love

I'll try this one. I took it off my OG Droid because the bluetooth would not work with my Acura. That is the only fault I had with it, but it's a big one.

Download via PC then flash, works on my OG Droid just fine!

Installed it, but it still does not work with my Acura's bluetooth. I'm back to Sourcery 2.2. I wish it would work, it seems very fast.
