Cyanogenmod 7 (CM7) for T-Mobile Galaxy S2 (T-989)

Those of you who own a T-Mobile Galaxy S2, and have been wanting to install a CM ROM on your devices ─ your prayers have been answered.

XDA developer slayher, has released an Alpha version of Cyanogenmod 7 or CM 7 for the T-MObile Galaxy S II ( T-989). Although an Alpha build, it is still quite good for daily use as per slayher.

It does have a few minor known issues with Audio & Camera Preview while switching from camcorder mode, but since when did these small glitches stop us from flashing a new ROM, especially a CyanogenMod ROM which we have been eagerly waiting for our phone.
