CyanogenMod 7.1 is released, brings Android 2.3.7 in pure form

We teased the Breaksclusive™ last week from the CyanogenMod panel at the Big Android BBQ (check out the video if you haven't already), and today CyangenMod 7.1 has been released. The changelog is pretty massive, of course, with fixes and tweaks galore. But chief among them is that you'll be first on your block to be rockin' Android 2.3.7.
The CM team also notes that it's added support for more than two dozen more devices since CM 7.1. And currently in beta status are builds for the HTC Pyramid (Sensation), Doubleshot (myTouch 4G Slide), HTC Shooter (EVO 3D), HP TouchPad and the LG Optimus 3D. So if you've yet to give CM a whirl, you're running out of excuses.

Download: Android 2.3.7 (GWK74) With Google Wallet For The Nexus S 4G

WARNING: This file is only for the Sprint Nexus S 4G. To flash the update, the phone must be stock - that means no custom ROMs. Rooted handsets are OK, though this might reset root permissions (you just need to re-root). We've included a link to a full, flashable ROM which will probably require a wipe, as well.

If you find yourself still without the Android 2.3.7 (GWK74) update for your Sprint Nexus S 4G, have no fear - we're here to help. Thanks to Omar over on Google+, we've got a direct link to the update.zip from Google themselves. To flash the update:

• DOWNLOAD: Android 2.3.7 (GWK74) For Sprint Nexus S 4G (Mirror)
• Rename the file to "update.zip" (please make sure you have file extensions set to show)
• Place it on the root of your SD card (not in a folder)
• Reboot into recovery
• Select "Apply update.zip"

When you reboot, launch Google Wallet - it may crash on your first run, so just run it again if this happens. As a note, If you're on a handset with a custom (or DeOdexed) ROM and want to update using this file, you'll need to flash back to stock GRJ90 to flash this update
If you are running a custom ROM and want to flash to the stock GWK74 update, check out this thread over at XDA. There are links for both de-odexed and odexed versions.
Google+, Thanks Omar!
