LineageOS 14.1 Android Nougat ROM For LG L90
LG has abandoned the L90 a long time back considering it an old device. The LG L90 didn’t receive Android Marshmallow update last year and there is no chance it will receive any updates in the future. So, if you’re looking for some Nougat love, you might be quite disappointed with LG right now. Luckily, developers didn’t forget the LG L90 yet. Development for the LG L90 is still going good and there is a Nougat ROM available for your precious L90. So, get ready to install Android Nougat ROM on LG L90.
CyanogenMod is the favorite custom ROM for most of the Android adventurers, and there’s no denying it. The fact that CyanogenMod is long dead now is a bit awful for many people. Now that it’s gone, I’ve moved on to Lineage OS which is the successor to the CyanogenMod. Lineage OS is successfully carrying the legacy of CyanogenMod, and it’s obviously similar to its predecessor. So, what they can do is, to install Android 7.1 Nougat based Lineage OS 14.1 on LG L90.
