toastcfh over at xda has been hard at work, day and night to get CM7 to a stable state. Finally, it is now a stable release.
All credits go to toastcfh and the CM team for their work.
CyanogenMod is a free, community built distribution of Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) which greatly extends the capabilities of your phone.
This is a release candidate, but you should find it stable for everyday use.
THIS IS NOT HTC SENSE AND NEVER WILL BE. DO NOT ASK ABOUT IT IN THIS THREAD. THANK YOU.

* Your warranty is now void.

* 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.

This is an AOSP-based build with extra contributions from many people which you can use without any type of Google applications. I found a link from some other project that can be used to restore the Google parts, which can be found below or elsewhere in the thread. I've still included the various hardware-specific code, which seems to be slowly being open-sourced anyway.
Visit the CHANGELOG for a full list of changes and features!
All source code is available at the CyanogenMod Github!
Kernel source code is availible at toastcfh's github!

INSTRUCTIONS:
- First time flashing CM 7 to your Evo Shift (or coming from another ROM)?
1. Unlock/root your device and install Clockwork Recovery via ROM Manager (You MUST be NAND unlocked!)
2. Do a Nandroid backup!
3. Update your radio if necessary
4. WIPE
5. Install the ROM
5. Optionally install the Google Addon
- Upgrading from earlier CM7 or nightly build?
1. Do a Nandroid Backup!
2. Install the ROM (your Google apps will be backed up automatically)
HOW TO REPORT BUGS OR PROBLEMS?
- Was it a hard reboot? Get me the file "/proc/last_kmsg".
- Was it a soft reboot or a "boot loop"? Run "adb logcat" and get me the full output.
- Pastebin links preferred
- Please use the issue tracker whenever possible!
Please visit the CyanogenMod Wiki for step-by-step installation walkthroughs and tons of other useful information.
The preferred method of installation is via ROM Manager, or you can head over to the CM Forums for manual downloads.
Known Issues and some workarounds:
* Torch not working (will fix by final)
* Wifi hot reboot - after flashing cm7, reboot before turning wifi on. If you get into continuous reboots, do a battery pull then reboot, wifi should work fine after that.
* GPS location fix - If you have trouble getting a fix on your location, flash back to a sense rom, use a map app to find your location then flash back to cm7.
