How To Update Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 To Android 7.1 Nougat With CM14.1 ROM

Samsung has stopped giving support for the latest Android versions to the Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300, so with that fact in hand, do not expect for the official Android Nougat will come knocking on your door. Because it won't be happening. However you can point your eyes to another options, such as custom ROMs. This unofficial software will deliver the Nougat to your device. And yes you can update your beloved  Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 to Android 7.1 Nougat by simply flashing the famous CM14.1 ROM.

The CM14.1 is still in progess, therefore don't expect any perfection on it, instead you should expect bugs or issues within the ROM. But in overall the ROM is not too dissapointing. Therefore I share about it on my blog.
