Well, I did it. Ported my number to T-Mobile. Poorer signal in some places, but I get consistent 4Mbps at my desk at work.
So.... I'm going to pretty much retire from maintaining this OP.
If someone wants to start a new thread with a similar format, go for it. If not I'm willing to come in here and try to do a quick update once in a while. It's not like things are moving as fast as they used to anyway, and the appspot changelog is great for displaying what is going on.
[HIGHLIGHT]Some Goodies:[/HIGHLIGHT]
With HDMI out there are some cool possibilites for the Evo. One of the best examples is in a thread started by Lokifish Mars: Use your Evo as a Desktop PC
There are tons of great theme engine themes. Many on the market and some only available on XDA. But since I'm a self serving biased jerk who unfairly looks out for his friends, I've got to mention the Sculpted theme from Shift. I loved Sculpted on CM6, but the version he created for CM7 is incredible, and all you have to do is grab it from the market, and then choose it in Theme Chooser.
Everyone's favorite something-goat-something-Shift-hater Karadorde dropped a little ray of nightly flashing sunshine in our lives. It's a recovery flashable script similar to Calkin's flash all that just flashes cache and dalvik for those times you've gotta have your nightly fix, but don't feel like setting everything up again. Check out his thread for instructions, and download the script there or here: nightly wipe zip
rstuckmaier has basically been doing my job for me recently, and created a thread just for CM7 fixes, tweaks, and work-arounds.
WiMax support is built into CyanogenMod 7. HDMI mirroring is supported in the kernel, but you will need an app to turn on mirroring. You can grab HDMwIn from the market. After trying it out, please support further TeamWIN projects by buying the donate version.

##########################################
Please bear in mind this is a nightly build, meant to be a testing ground for developers, and there may even be times the new nightly won't work at all. This is a common way of working in open source software. Most of the problems you are encountering the developers are already aware of. With that said, most of the nightly builds has been very solid and stable for many people here, and several of us that are used to development software are using it as a daily driver. Just realize that is not the intention of nightly builds.
[HIGHLIGHT]CM6 features not available & Bugs[/HIGHLIGHT]
Camera does not have touch to focus and some other features from CM6
Bluetooth Mouse cursor - BT mouse will connect, but acts more like a trackball. See the Use your Evo as a Desktop PC thread for a patch.
No 720p video recording
GPS often will not lock. Cyanogen said he is working on a fix for a point release. Basically the non-open source HTC drivers were used in CM6, but for CM7 they are using the open source reference drivers from the chip manufacturer. Something is strange or maybe even buggy about the Evo hardware. The good news is there is a workaround that has worked for most people.
Note - this is pasted from rstuckmaier's excellent tips thread
Make a Nandroid of your current CM7 setup.
Boot into recovery and perform a full wipe (or use Calkulin Format ALL zip)
Flash any Sense ROM
Open the Market and download MSL Reader, write down MSL.
Open Dialer/Phone and type ##4772579# (##GPSCLRX#)
When it asks you for a password type in your MSL
Reboot phone
BE OUTSIDE
Turn on GPS and open Maps, allow it to fully lock your location (may take a few minutes, do not just wait for initial lock).
Leave GPS on
Turn off phone, reboot into recovery.
Nandroid restore your CM7 backup
[HIGHLIGHT]Installation Info[/HIGHLIGHT]
You must be fully rooted (including NAND rooted)
Nightlies are posted at: http://buildbot.teamdouche.net/nightly/supersonic/
After flashing the main part of CM, you will probably want to flash the Google Apps Add-On, which adds the Market and allows you to download things like GMail, Goggles, Voice Search, and Maps. Gapps is available here: http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/
There are now only two versions of GApps, one for Tegra CPUs and one for non. For the Evo you want the standard version without Tegra support
GApps changed for CM7 and only has the basics for market access. When you first log in you will be given a screen of checkboxes to download the apps you want. You can also add them manually later from the market.
DrMacinyasha's goo-inside.me is the official source for GApps, and also mirrors most of the other content:
drmacinyasha said:
Just a heads up, I've been keeping my own mirror of all of the CM stuff for EVO. Useful for those who want the gapps updates but don't have an account on the CM forums, etc., and also has all of the Snap kernel files mirrored:

[HIGHLIGHT]What features are included[/HIGHLIGHT]
Full AOSP
Running 2.6.37 Linux kernel
Android OS 2.3.3 (Gingerbread)
More standard Bluetooth stack. HTC uses a funky proprietary bluetooth implementation. Cyanogen has replaced this with a more common one, so the phone now supports HID (Mice & Keyboards) and the Wiimote app in the store.
Tons of Cyanogen Mod tweaks and tools, including but not limited to:
Updated music app with extra options and lockscreen controls
kernel speed tweaks
Notification Drop down power control
CyanogenMod Settings integrated into settings menu
DSP settings
T-Mobile theme engine
Torch flashlight uses camera flash, includes widget
Additional settings and tweaks for Contacts, Dialer, and MMS (maybe more)
[HIGHLIGHT]FAQ[/HIGHLIGHT]Q. When the new nightly comes out can I just download and flash over the top of the install?
A. Because these are development nightlies they are not guaranteed to work in this way. In many cases this may work fine, but even if it does it may not implement a new feature or fix. For example the MMS fix would not show up unless you wiped, or deleted a specific directory. However, this usually works ok.
Q. What has changed in the newest nightly build?
A. For me the easiest thing has been to follow the CM Source twitter feed. Pretty much any change that doesn't mention another device specifically will show up on the nightly.
Look here for Cyanogen's changes: http://github.com/cyanogen
and here for CyanogenMod in general: http://github.com/CyanogenMod
Q. Flash isn't working
A. Go to the market, search for "Flash Player" and install.
Q. I don't have a Market icon or any other google apps
A. You didn't flash gapps or flashed the wrong one
Q. Rom Manager won't let me download the nightly
A. Purchase the premium version from the Market
Q. Why is the launcher slow?
A. It isn't really, but the defaults used on ADW make it feel sluggish. Try some of the settings from this post by midri
Q. How can I update PRL?
A. There currently is not a way to do it in Cyanogen Mod. You will need to restore a nandroid backup of a Sense ROM (you did make one, right?), update the PRL, then Nandroid back to CM6.
Q. What times are the nightly builds? And what time in my timezone?
A. To my understanding, the bot begins building at Midnight UTC which is 8:00pm EST. They finish around 30 mins later. You can always check this link and verify that the mod date is the next day (for us in the U.S.) In otherwords, It's currently 10:50pm EST on 7/10 and the mod date on the zip file is 2010-Jul-11 00:35:56 so I know it has been built:
http://mirror.kanged.net/cm/nightly/supersonic/
Q. Rom Manager says there are no updates
A. Since these are nightly builds and not releases, the filename stays the same and Rom Manager knows you have a rom named that already. If you want to assure you have the latest, clear your download cache and re-download.
Q. Can I install the Sense dialer/music player/widgets/etc. ?
A. By default no. Sense widgets only work with the Rosie launcher. Most of the other stuff it tightly bound to the framework, which is why many of the AOSP applications can not be easily installed on a Sense ROM.
Q. Is there any way to run the stock android 2.3 launcher instead of ADW?
A. Search the market for "gingerbread launcher." There are several available for free.
Q. My notification toggles keep disappearing! Where did they go?
A. Often changing themes will cause this. Just grab the Notification Restart app in the market. It basically just kills the notification bar so it resets.
Please feel free to add any that I missed, but hopefully we don't get repeats of the same answered questions or known bugs. I hope this makes things easier for everyone to know what's going on.
Thanks again for your hard work, Cyanogen, Toast, #teamwin, and all of the CyanogenMod Team!
Thanks for the thread!
sent with evo 4g
HW 0003, and Nova panel.
I'm getting a green bar (graphical glitch) at the top during video playback.
Getting it on videos using the YouTube app, and also on some MP4 movies on my sdcard. Happens no matter what video player I use.
Oddly enough, videos that I had recorded with the Evo camera do not have this.
Is it just me? or anyone else having this issue also?
As far as the Facebook, I cannot add my facebook account. The first time it asked for info and appeared to work, but if I go back into Accounts it's not there and I can't seem to add it.
I downloaded Swype beta from the site and it's working fine for me.

Yup, same here, 003 with nova and seeing the green bar. But, mine switched between purple and green at first, then switching to just green. But weirdly,I've only seen the bar watching hq videos on youtube. Regular movies don't have that....odd.
Would it not be better to use a bug tracking software, even a free one to keep the info sorted?
also have green bar, hw3, novatek panel. don't have it in videos i've recorded. it may just be a function of the youtube app, nothing to do with cm
Another bug.
When you go to cm settings > input settings> haptic feedback tweaks > change any of the patterns ...cm settings force closes

When the new nightly comes out can I just download and flash over the top of the install so I dont have to start from scratch tomorrow?
heres a question:
is there anyway to get the htc dialer app back on this rom, or is that part of sense, if so can you please link up a apk?
so does this mean that there will be a new build every night from now on or what.
Fring works on WiFi with no problems but FC's when on 3g.
Turn Exposure to +1 on front camera to make it not so dark.

if i understand it correctly, it will be recompiled every night. however, if no code changes were made during the day, before compile, then the nightly won't be any different than the one before.
Also Exchange support in Froyo does not work reliably. This is not a bug in the mod, but in Froyo itself.

Bingo. Changes may be EVO specific or may be generic to all devices. This is why nightlies are not reliable, they are simply a snapshot of the code at the moment. I read a comment that sounded like one of the changes made for the EVO broke the Droid build. Don't think of these as general use builds like we see from DC, Avalaunch, etc. When there is an RC or final, cyanogen typically will post that here.

Questions & Answers
-My wifi isn't connecting to my router in CM7.2 Alpha8. What should i do?
It won't detect wifi if Name (SSID) is hidden. It works fine if Name (SSID) is visible. So, go in your router settings (192.168.0.1 for me) and Unhide Name (SSID).
No bugs found till now except little lag due to absence of 3d acceleration (and things officially non working YET).
*Calls are working fine.
*No more sleep bug.
*Excellent battery life.
Backlight works randomly.
Worked while booting up for the first time.
Then doesnt.
Rom manager is kinda unstable. Reboot into recovery in it actually brought up the recovery mode with lotsa E :// errors and the phone booted automatically with a flickering screen.
I guess this is a general prob with the CWM Recovery in our phone.

CM7 Full report
Well it was nice to see cm booting on sg3 due to the excellent work by marcellusbe and team
Kudos to them all!
I'll start with flashing
Flashed as any Rom would no harm
First boot took a bit longer but its usual
On boot i was welcomed by the Android Setup App
The Rom feels nice and is stable with normal use (No FCS no hangs ) what features are stated to be working work others dont
Now comes the apps part
Camera : upon opening a white screen comes with just the usual controls on taking a picture an android robot is captured
Video capture gives a blank black video
Video player doesnt play videos that used to play on all other roms(captured by sg3 cam)
Music player plays mp3s and plays them well
Most of the new functions in settings app work
cm settings
status bar tweaks work(all of them0
In render effect some modes like red/green/blue/amber/salmon/fuscia work
(Clicking on red gives blue and vice versa)
Calibrated N1 (all 3 modes) dont work
Overscroll glow works and so do all the lockscreen options
Live wallpapers work although some specific settings in some wallpapers gave fcs
No T9 prediction in dialer
Whn booted into recovery ( by key combo) the menu options appear and its clear its cwm 3.2 but the screen keeps flickering constantly but i was able to scroll up and down the options but couldnt select one though
Some apps i couldnt try coz no data network as of now but will get soon
Some spelling mistakes may have been done
I may have forgot some things too
My apologies for that
Thnx

It is in alpha stage yet. It is not lagging, but it is not for daily use. You can test it!
cannot play mp4 video that i can play with froyo.
Titanium backup works but can't apply restore (like contacts and sms) but account restore works well...
When reboot to download mod the screen is flashing and recovery has big bug...
CM7 is great and i'm really happy to use but i think no stable yet for everyday using waiting the next build
Ok so this is what i get
Battery use shows some random stuff.
USB Development nortification doesn't work so there is no way to get to mass storage also other nortifications might not work either haven't tested yet Recovery also doesn't work, it doesn't load and it restarts the phone and both CWM and the system are running.
I get system forced close
Oh and the home for cwm recovery doesn't work either. Thats what i've encountered so far.

Question about camera
Hey, guys.. are the camera is working in this wersion??
If yes your team will be heroes
Great Job Can't wait to try
Oh nice and it even sounds as if it has more things working properly than the previous ICS attempt.
I have been sharing my CM7 builds for some time in the kangaroo thread. But I decided to start my own thread in which I will share the KANG/UNOFFICIAL builds I make. In principle, I will always have the most recent sources with a range of cherry-picks. These cherry-picks are the ones I like.
About Cyanogen: CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
If you run into errors, I will probably not be able to solve it!
If you know a solution, either upload it yourself to Gerrit Code Review or contact me through pm.

I'm currently trying cm9, still undecided on keeping vs returning to cm7. Cm7 feels smoother/faster to me, but I like the improved ui of cm9.

You read my mind (currently CM9)
I have always used Cyanogenmod 7 both on my old HD2 and now with my Galaxy S which is awesome...
Thnx for taking this project up and keeping with the nightlies. I seldom use the nightlies instead use an old kanga version and works great. I think it is 7.2.0RC0 which I think was the latest and greatest...
Nice.
I like KANG. (CM7)
thank u
I build a fresh CM7 Kang!
naming
hey kasper!
first of all, thx for continueing building your kangs!
now i have a (maybe dumb) question: your kangs til the latest have still RC1 in the name. for official cm a RC3 came out some days ago. but as you build your kangs with updated source (+cherry picks, of course), the RC1 in the name is irrelevant, is that right?
i hope you understand my question, my english is not so good...
greetz and thx again,
sUsH
Doesn't matter indeed, the build files used to give the file name were not yet updated. But the source is just as recent

New CM9 build online.
Didn't build a new CM7, as the last few days there was no new source code being merged....
Thanks very much ! I am downloading it ^^
Hi kasper_h,
Thanks for your builds with cherries and taking up where nrg left off!
I saw these changes not too long ago for the Galaxy Tab to add SmartassV2 governor. Is there any way that you can compile a build with SmartassV2 added? Wasn't sure it was possible, but I love that governor, and I think that would make CM9 perfect for me
http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/16247/
http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/16247/1/drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_smartass2.c
Reading more into the commit notes, it looks like it wasn't merged because the CM team believes that SmartassV2 performs like Interactive. I've read other articles that say that Interactive stays at one frequency where as Smartass uses all frequencies and is actually pretty battery friendly. If it's not possible, no worries, I know I can always use another kernel. Thanks again!
Interesting challenge, never done something like that. Will give it a try to see whether I get it to build with SmartAssV2
But it may take a few days, now preparing a few day leave
