Here is the much awaited Nougat 7.0 ROM for Xperia M CyanogenMod 14 (CM14). For latest updates, stay tuned to the Lineage OS device list page. This Nougat 7.0 has come for Xperia M via CyanogenMod 14 ROM. Since Google released Android Nougat Source code, we have update many Android NOUGAT AOSP ROMs and also many CyanogenMod 14 ROMs updated and many are yet to come. We have witnessed Adrian DC has brought the AOSP Nougat 7.0 for Xperia SP, CM14 for Xperia T, Xperia M Nougat 7.0 update and this time he has brought the CyanogenMod 14 Nougat treatment for the Xperia M.
DISCLAIMER:- I DON’T KNOW THE STATUS OF THIS ROM YET. THIS COULD BE AN INITIAL ALPHA ROM OR JUST A DEVELOPMENT ROM. IT MAY NOT BOOT AT ALL OR IF AT ALL IT BOOTS THEN IT MAY NOT BE USABLE AS A DAILY DRIVER. I JUST FOUND THE ROM AND POSTED HERE. TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK. ALSO MAKE SURE TO TAKE NANDROID BACKUP OF YOUR CURRENT ROM.
- I don’t want to waste your time and my time too and hence I basically verify the system/build.prop and/or updater-script to get the build details at the first place before posting any ROM. I may be wrong at times and hence it is your responsibility to verify once more about the legitimacy of the ROMs.
- Installing a custom ROM on a the Xperia M may require the bootloader to be unlocked on Xperia M and a Custom Recovery on Xperia M, which may VOID your warranty and may delete all your data. Before proceeding further you may consider backup all data on the phone. You are the only person doing changes to your phone and I cannot be held responsible for the mistakes done by you.
