How To Update Samsung Galaxy S5 To Android 7.0 Nougat

Hey guys here I am offering you the opportunity to update Galaxy S5 to Android 7.0 Nougat by flashing the CM14 custom ROM. This ROM comes with Android 7 to support many Samsung Galaxy flagship. And so far it runs and performs well. Albeit it is not perfect because there are main apps that don't work.

That's because this ROM still in alpha release, therefore bugs and several technical issues should be expected. However don't let that condition make you down because the ROM developer will update it to make it suitable for your need.

CM14 developed by Alexander Seibel and it's based on Android Nougat AOSP and it requires bootloader unlock device.

And of course installing this kind of non-stock ROM could effect of losing your device's warranty so I believe you have already known that.
