LineageOS the re-branded version of CyanogenMod is now up with the official LineageOS 14.1 nightly builds for Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. It sounds great for the custom ROM lovers but it wouldn’t get much attraction of the Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge users who have already updated their devices on Android 8.0 Oreo officially. However we expect the Team LineageOS will release the LineageOS 15.1 ROM for both Galaxy S7 twins in a few weeks.
The official LineageOS 14.1 for Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge is based on Android 7.1 Nougat so if you were waiting for the official build regardless of the Android version then it is readily available for your device. This ROM as usual comes with the stock Android UI, which means it will be running very smooth on the powerful hardware of Galaxy S7. The ROM is pretty stable and can be used as daily drivers, if you wish to install the official LineageOS 14.1 on your S7 or S7 Edge then follow the instructions below.
