Now that I'm done saving my butt, let's proceed

Flashing and updating

Clean Install
- Backup all your data (Important)
- Wipe /system, /data and cache.
- Flash the ROM + GApps (Download link below)
- Reboot

Updates
- Wipe anything you want to (Optional)
- Install ROM + GApps
- Reboot

Getting a recovery
Since many people have trouble installing recovery, I might as well add it up here.
Use the recovery installer app to get to twrp. Alternatively, you could download it off the link below and copy to your adb folder. Then execute the following in your adb directory

adb root
adb wait-for-device
adb push PathToRecoveryImage.img /tmp/twrp.img
adb shell dd if=/tmp/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel

If you don't have access to a computer, download terminal emulator and execute these:

su
dd if=PathToRecoveryImageOnPhone.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel

Warning - Do not adapt your external sdcard as internal as of now. We think it will corrupt your emmc, just like early Marshmallow days.

Anyway, here are some more Nougat SS:

When I first heard that Xperia L won't ever get an update from 4.2.2 and I saw the 4.4 custom ROM, I thought that custom ROM development will end with 5.0... And here I am, seeing that we have 7 is a really great feeling. Thank you guys for working your asses of for us, you are the best!

Sent from my taoshan using XDA Labs

Camera is currently broken. It'll hide itself. You can still try launching it by swiping from the right edge on the lock screen. Please refer to post 2 for all issues.
