CREDIT FOR MOST OF THIS THREAD GOES TO THE OP HERE
I did this just to get the ball rolling. Will update this more when there is a little time. Just wanted to provide a single place for all things related to CyanogenMod for our phone.
We are officially on the device list for CM7. This will be a source of information for the nightly builds and is NOT OFFICIAL. I am just compiling information to save people time and harassment in the IRC (Just kidding, its a great room, come chat with us)

You must be fully rooted (including NAND rooted) see the Perm root thread in the Dev section of the Shift forums for a few diff. ways to achieve this!
See links posted above.
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.
Thanks again for your hard work to the entire CM team, but most especially ToastCFH who has been hard at work getting us a working ROM.

First time CM7 user:
Nightly Addict:
There are now only two versions of GApps, one for Tegra CPUs and one for non. For the Shift you want the standard version without Tegra support- Confirm lastest recovery from ROM Manager is installed. Should be CWM 3.0.1.4
- DL and transfer nightly and GAPPS to SD Card. Anywhere is fine, just remember where
- Boot into recovery and make a NANDROID backup. Choose Backup/Restore from main menu - then backup. Or use ROM Manager to create a backup as well.
- Once this is done, wipe data/cache (Factory Reset) this will reduce your chances of having any issues. You can use Titanium Backup to backup your apps from your original ROM, and restore them on CM7.
- Flash the nightly zip file.
- Flash the GAPPs file which adds the Market and allows you to download things like GMail, Goggles, Voice Search, and Maps.
- Suggestion - If you have Ti Backup of your apps and plan to restore, don't sign into Google upon first boot, as this usually starts a download of all your apps, and will bog down your phone. There is no need to DL all of this when you have them all on your phone. The only thing you need to do is have an installable apk for Ti backup. After running through the initial setup screen, install Ti Backup and restore Apps.
Nightly Addict:
- Flash to get your fix. Na0wz!
- No need to re-flash GAPPs everytime and nightlies do not touch your installed apps. (Typically, bad things can happen so flashing nightlies are at your own risk)
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.
