CyanogenMod is back with more nightlies for a number of other Android devices including the HTC One M8, bringing a taste of Android 7.1 Nougat.

Just a few days ago, CyanogenMode breathed some fresh air into the old Google Nexus 4 smartphone, which hit the market nearly four years ago. Google doesn't release its latest OS version on devices that are so old, but they leave it to the developer community to make things work. The Nexus 4 got its first unofficial taste of Android 7.0 Nougat back in late August, and CyanogenMod bumped the smartphone up to Android 7.1 Nougat last week, when it expanded its 14.1 nightlies.

CyanogenMod and its 14.1 nightlies are now at it again, and the nightly builds are now available for a number of other Android handsets released a while back.

CyanogenMod 14.1: Supported Devices

The latest smartphones to get CyaonogenMod 14.1 nightlies are as follows:

HTC One M8 (m8)
HTC One M8 Dual SIM (m8d)
HTC One A9 (GSM US) (hiaeul)
LG G3 S (jag3gds)
BQ Aquaris M5 (piccolo)
LG G3 Beat (jagnm)
Xiaomi Redmi 1S (armani)

The extended release adds to the list of other devices that got the CyanogenMod 14.1 treat, such as the Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, LG G3, LG G4, Xiaomi Mi3, Asus ZenFone 2, Samsung Galaxy S5, Asus ZenPad 8.0, Nexus 5, LG G Pad and Sony Xperia M.

CyanogenMod 14.1 is based on the latest Android 7.1 Nougat and for many owners of older smartphones, it may be the only chance they get to grab the newest version of Android for their devices.

More Devices In Tow

While this is already an exciting list of devices that already got CyanogenMod 14.1 nightlies, the developers are planning to bring Android 7.1 Nougat to more smartphones, including the old Samsung Galaxy S III.

If you have a newer device that's bound to get Android Nougat sometime soon, you might want to muster your patience and wait for the official release, especially if your device is still under warranty. If, on the other hand, you own an older Android smartphone with no plans for an upgrade to Android Nougat, CyanogenMod's customized ROM might be a welcome treat.

If you own one of the supported devices and you decide to spice it up with a custom ROM for Android 7.1 Nougat, head over to CyanogenMod and treat yourself to a new nightly build.
