CyanogenMod 14.1 rolls out

CyanogenMod users who were expecting the first Nougat-based release can finally download a build based on this variant of Google's mobile operating system. However, as we previously mentioned, the team behind this project has decided to drop version 14.0 (based on Android 7.0) and to jump straight to CyanogenMod 14.1, a version that uses Android 7.1 Nougat as its core.

As long as the devices below have an unlocked bootloader, they should be able to run the latest CyanogenMod 14.1 build:

• Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X
• Xiaomi Mi3 and Mi4
• LG G3 and G4
• Moto G variants
• Samsung Galaxy S5
• OnePlus 3
• ASUS ZenFone 2

Unfortunately, CyanogenMod's founder Steve Kondik revealed that "It’s still very early on for this release and a number of features (like Themes) aren’t available yet, but development is progressing." In the coming weeks, more devices should get support for the Android 7.1-based CyanogenMod 14.1 releases, so stay tuned for updates if your handset is not in the list above.
