Already testing, ROM is really smooth, and can be used as Daily Driver. Got microgapps installed with no issues.
Update: GPS not working for me. Phone doesn't want to see any satellites

[hamed24]

[Cyrus.xda]

Mr Adrian once again your bless including us again what you did for our device is more than a magic sony support is very soon end even the promise of 4.4 is not true because its never update by sony... For an old phone like xperia sp from 2013 its completely fantasy to have nougat... We find a great man a great dev God bless you i really appreciate your kind and your time that really sacrifice for us i have a question from you mr Adrian after a very magical works like multirom im stick on multirom because its amazing i set official 4.3 on primary and cm 13 on secondary my question about when i can flash cm 14 on multirom as a secondary rom? Mr adrian i hope a great life for you a life with all success in all of chapters of your life im really sorry for my bad language ?

You can do this about cm14.

 

[Gshrestha]

Thank you very much

Edit : I just installed the ROM to find there's no theming engine

Exactly , May be it's because The ROM is in Alpha Stage !!! But pretty smart ROM Really missing CM theme Engine !!

 

[mrskyou]

Be patient ! its just an alpha !

 

[Onawt]

Wow! ... just Wow!! This is unbelievable. The amount of time and work you put into this phone is unbelievable. If it wasn't for you, I would've already bought a new phone, but thanks to your awesome support I can still have an up-to-date software experience with the newest Android features and more.
I hope development for CM14 won't be as difficult as it was when moving from Kitkat/Lollipop to Marshmallow, but seeing that the alpha-build is already working pretty okay, I have faith in you getting to run our phone with CM14 better and faster, than it already did on CM13. Keep up the great work! You're a million times better in supporting our device than those million dollar phone companies.

 

[Wyjek]

Does SuperSU work with CM14?

 

[Cris Ferreira]

Don't need supersu.
Read the first post here and on the Q&A.

 

[miladn78]

Install version for recovery, and switch off SeLinux after that.

 

[Mas20]

wow, you are very hard working for making cm14 / nougat, thanks...

 

[kvazimode]

Works fine!
But I miss some CM13 features like themes, NFC toggler in top bar, buttons editor, buttons on locked screen editor, battery % indicator, etc. These are only Android 6 features, that are disabled in 7, or CM will add customization later?

It's an alpha build..the features will be add later..right now they are interested in stability and bug fixes other than make everything work on 7
