Cyanogenmod 7 on zte skate

[Guest murf95]

I have cyanogenmod 7 installed on zte Blade. It works very well. Can someone tell me which Rom , which is stable, will work on a ZTE Skate (Orange Monte Carlo).

I I am waiting to unlock from Orange but meanwhile want to improve the phone. Also I would need step by step advice as I am a novice and only managed to install CM7 step by step on my Blade.
