If you are wondering where CM7 is for your Motorola Droid the following message was posted on their forums.
Most of the other devices are getting CM7.0.0 stable, which will naturally lead countless of you to ask 'where's CM7 for Droid?'..... well don't
As it stands, the Droid still has lingering issues preventing us from releasing something we want labelled as 'Stable' (namely, tether, data and cam).
Till those are fixed, there will not be a Stable Droid CM7.
Please don't post new threads or bicker over why your device was left out. Droid support isn't dropped, its just your ROM simply isn't ready.

Share.
