LineageOS 14 Nougat ROM For Xperia SP

LineageOS 14 Nougat ROM For Xperia SP 1
The outstanding 2013 flagship, the Xperia SP might have been long forgotten by the OEM but it sticks to its way on Android. As per Sony guidelines, the device is only supported to be updated to Android 4.4 (Kitkat) which is surely a disgrace for this awesome piece. But does this really affect the developers and contributors at XDA-Developers community? I say, no! and I am cent percent sure that you people share the same thought.

The Xperia SP has become much popular in so little a time and is reported to the best selling Xperia smartphone so far. If you are a proud owner of this handsome giant and are willing to take advantage of the open source nature of Android by trying some custom ROM.

If you want to taste the original Android Nougat with added flavors, what could be better than the LineageOS 14 ROM It’s a pure blend of innovative features, simplicity and high performance.
