Jiayu S3 Plus Nougat ROM 7.0 AOSP is an UNOFFICIAL Android Nougat build for Jiayu S3 Plus (device codename: n560a). This jiayu S3 plus Nougat ROM (7.0 AOSP) is brought to you by developer fire855 and karthick111. This is an ALPHA status ROM which means there are still many things broken on this ROM and hence it is strongly recommended that you take either a NANDROID backup or a complete sync of your phone data.

THIS IS JUST AN ALPHA ROM AND CANNOT BE USED AS A DAILY DRIVER SOFTWARE. CHECK THE WORKING AND NON-WORKING LIST BEFORE FLASHING AND PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.

DISCLAIMER:
Installing custom ROM requires a custom recovery to be installed on your device, which in-turn may require the bootloader to be unlocked which may VOID your warranty and may delete all your data. Before proceeding further you may consider backup your all data. You are the only person making changes on your phone and neither we nor the developer can be held responsible for the mistakes done by YOU.
