CyanogenMod 14 is landing on the bases on Android Nougat 7.1

It’s been a long wait, but tonight we will kick off the first CM14.1 nightly builds (based on Android 7.1) for a handful of devices. It’s still very early on for this release and a number of features (like Themes) aren’t available yet, but development is progressing.

The devices which are part of the first push:

angler (Nexus 6P)
bullhead (Nexus 5X)
cancro (Xiaomi Mi3w/Mi4)
d855 (LG G3)
falcon/peregrine/thea/titan (Moto G variants)
h811/h815 (LG G4)
klte/kltedv/kltespr/klteusc/kltevzw (Samsung Galaxy S5)
oneplus3 (OnePlus 3)
Z00L/Z00T (Zenphone 2)

Bug reports are OK, but please don’t file bugs for missing features since this is all a work in progress. Now is a great time to get involved with the project too- CM is returning to it’s community-driven roots and there are endless ways to help out.

As always, more devices will be added to the list over the coming weeks and maintainers bring everything up to date, so if you don’t see your device listed here just give us a bit of time

The CyanogenMod community has announced that a nightly build of CM14.1 based on Android 7.1 Nougat has been rolled out to select devices. The community members announced that the nightly build will be pushed first to few devices, and later other devices will get the update too.

CyanogenMod 14.1 nightly build is available for the Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X, Xiaomi Mi 3, Xiaomi Mi 4, LG G3, Moto G variants, LG G4, Samsung Galaxy S5, OnePlus 3, and ZenFone 2 users. A nightly build is usually not a stable build, but is still released to all users, and usually is plagued with several bugs.

Elaborating on the CM14.1 nightly build, founder Steve Kondik said in the blog post, "Bug reports are OK, but please don't file bugs for missing features since this is all a work in progress. Now is a great time to get involved with the project too- CM is returning to its community-driven roots and there are endless ways to help out. As always, more devices will be added to the list over the coming weeks and maintainers bring everything up to date, so if you don't see your device listed here just give us a bit of time."

The nightly builds of CM14.1 are available for users to download here. Kondik also notes that all the features will not be made available right away on the nightly build (for example Themes are missing), but will be eventually rolled out in future updates.

as expected, CyanogenMod is skipping development for CM14 and going straight into CM14.1 which is based on Android 7.1 Nougat. The first batch of nightly builds are upon us, and they go out to a number of popular devices. Just remember that these are nightly builds – there will be bugs, and there may be some features that are still missing or not working. But if you’re ready for that, jump in.

The CM14.1 nightly builds are arriving for a wave of popular Android devices, and high profile inclusions are the Nexus 6P and the Nexus 5X. You will remember that Google has chosen to give these two units a dumbed-down version of Android 7.1 so that the highlight will be on the new Pixel smartphones. Maybe CM14.1 will give these Nexus flagships from last year a breath of fresh air.

Also included in the list of devices are the OnePlus 3, the Xiaomi Mi3w and Mi4, the LG G3, four Moto G variants, the LG G4, the Samsung Galaxy S5, and the ASUS Zenfone 2. This is already a good mix of devices across the flagship and midrange board, but you can expect this list to grow soon with the next waves of supported devices.

Remember that filing for bugs is on these builds is always appreciated, but CM reminds users that asking for missing features is futile since this is all “a work in progress.” Check out the CyanogenMod download page for acquiring these nightly builds.
