DISCLAIMER: This is an alpha release. This means it is buggy, and might have some minor (maybe even substantial) issues upon installation. Download and install at your own risk.

UPDATE: Updated download link for Alpha 3 below. We don’t currently have a change log, unfortunately.

An alpha of CyanogenMod 6 for the Droid has been released, and is up for download. The link, along with the link for FRF85B’s GApps (Google Apps) package, is below.

Prerequisites for install

  • Your Droid must be unlocked.
  • Your Droid needs a custom recovery image (Clockwork Recovery, Amon_RA, etc).
  • You should probably make a backup via TitaniumBackup or Nandroid.

Instructions

  1. Download the 2 zip files above to your phone and place them in the root of your SD card
  2. Boot your device into recovery, and select install from zip
  3. Flash CyanogenMod 6 first
  4. Flash the GApps package
  5. Reboot your device

If all goes well, you should now be running CyanogenMod 6 Alpha 3. We have not yet tested it on a device of our own, so we would appreciate comments on your experiences with this release!
