I'm not angry that no Nougat for my Galaxy S7! I am happy that there Nougat of my favorite HD2! Thank you Max and all who have a hand in the process :)

It is just unbelivable what you can do with this phone. 7 years, Android 7.

Maybe just the stock camera doesnt work... How about Open Camera?
For RAM issues maybe using some Swap RAM apps would help. Or Kernel Adiutor if it has support for swap in the kernel.
And for Google Services and Google Play. MicroG for OGYouTube and Amazon App Store.

I tried swap partition and ended up with a bootloop. I would do more investigations when I recieve a new battery. My current 500-600Mah one is a joke. Clean ROM eats about 250Mb of RAM out of 440Mb btw

But what if we would replace all the apps with Android 2.3 apps? (Except the settings and the systemUI.)
I mean, keeping a 600kb messaging app in memory is easier than keeping a 10MB one.
Why not the Xperia ones from X10 and X1?
Imo it doesnt really matter how it looks.
But i hope there will be a solution for the swap partition tho.

Why? You have this phone only to flash it and use only 1 or 2 messengers at once, recieve and make calls and listen music. Without gapps it's pretty possible

I feel like Android Go will be a very good thing for this phone, despite having less RAM than Android go wants. I wonder how fast will it run on HD2 without Google Play Services, or if Android Go will have some custom GP Services and Play Store that would consume only a few MBs of RAM.

First of all, many thanks to macs18max and other Developers for keep supporting our Leo. It does'nt matter how it works on Nougat right now, the FACT is it - Leo get the newest OS. Also, it well working with Android 6.0 - some bugs, but after optimization Leo can be used with MM as daily driver.

Have some question about this ROM.
1. Can we use TWO (or more) swap files to ajust responsiveness?
2. Anyboby testing Leo with Transcend NAND cards? 64 gb Samsung 10+ UHS3 running very well on it.

Soon will test this ROM on second Leo (first rinning 4.2.2 and in daily usage). Thank you so much!
Please keep working and supporting Leo in the future, waiting Android O !!!

Testing Nougat for a couple days.

Works better, than expected. A little smoothly and with a half of free RAM without GAPS.

The flashlight works through a third-party application from cyanogenmod 4.2.2.
There is no sound in the headphones, but I think it's possible to fix it. The camera shows a black screen, not shure that it work (not testing with open camera, ets yet).

We have no file manager in stock - so you must download it by browser, that is no good.

Wifi works confidently. GSM communication also works confidently.

Can not set the SWAP file via the init.d script. It hangs the device when changing roule permissions.

Swap is necessary for correct and fast operation of the device on 7.1, so SWAP must work first of all. Can we add swap support by default (init.d script) and on/off it in preferences?

So, we need:
1. File manager in stock - to add application and operate device.
2. SWAP support in stock (init.d script)
3. Camera fix and flashlight (possible by using another application)

Continiue testing and soon will be one more video with Leo running 7.1.

Managed to run swap via the init.d script.
Device working stably, applications open and do not crash.

To run swap, first of all you need this file
https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4187859&stc=1&d=1497949282
and SD card with Linux Swap partition on it (so you will have 2 ext4, 1 fat32 and 1 Linux Swap partitions). The best size of SWAP partition not yet determined, use 256-512 Mb for the fist time.

1. Unzip and place file "01swap" on Leo SD card. You may need to change "mmcblk0p2" parameter to "mmcblk0p1" or "mmcblk0p3" - it depends on your SD card and sets experimentally - until the SWAP is appear.
2. Install "Disk Info" program for checking the result -the SWAP partition must appear.
3. Specify 50% zRAM in preferences-perfomance and reboot.
4. After that, copy the previously prepared script "01swap" by Root Explorer to the system/ets/init.d and set permissions to 755. Device may crash or hang, wait some minutes and rebot it.
5. Use the Disk Info program to check SWAP is appear. Now we have enough "RAM" for stable work.

After that,
set zRAM to 0 or 10-20%. 50% + SWAP is not stable and not required.
Also, you may turn off "Kernel samepage merging", it may increase stability.
