The latest nightly build of this Android 7.1 Nougat-based ROM comes with support for a few additional devices, including the Galaxy S3 and the Nexus 5, as well as the Nexbit Robin, and others.
Cyanogen Inc. has seen better times, but they are not dropping the flag yet. Although the company unleashed CyanogenMod 14.1 recently, its co-founded Steve Kondik has left in the meantime. This custom Android ROM arrived back in early November, and now even more devices receive support for it, including the good old Samsung Galaxy S3. This is great news for those still using Android devices more than three years old, as the 2013 Nexus 5 is also in the list.
The list of additional devices that entered the "nightlies" list consists of the following:
Google Nexus 5
Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9300)
Nextbit Robin
Motorola Moto X Pure Edition
Oppo R7 Plus
Oppo R5/R5s
Next to the above, the LG G Pad 7 LTE tablet can also run CyanogenMod 14.1 now. This work-in-progress ROM is based on Android 7.1 Nougat, but these nightlies that keep showing up might come with various bugs and missing features.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
