This rom is based on Android Nougat 7.1 source (android-7.1.1_r6)
I have only made changes that needed to support our device other then that it's pure AOSP. it has no custom features to provide you stock android experience.

Thanks for new taste of Android!

Tips:

- Launching persistent TWRP not supported. Only built-in 2.8
So if you have adopted sdcard you can't restore backup.
To fix flash CM13 kernel.

- OpenGapps for 7.0 here

- Feature spotlights here

- File manager in Settings > Storage finally can install APK's, useful for first boot.

- To use 2 apps at same time hold and drag thumbnail in Recents

- Double-tap on Recents works like Alt+Tab (like long press in CM)

- In dev options new option to force move all apps on adopted storage

Does anyone have success flashing GApps? On Opengapps wiki is stated that it needs additional ROM patching to disable APK Signature Scheme V2.

---------- Post added at 22:47 ---------- Previous post was at 22:44 ----------

BTW, if FOTA recovery is not working, I can repack the boot image with the latest TWRP 3.0.2-1.

i installed GApps, but with error like "command 'log' doesn't exist"
App work fine, but Google Play Services is crashes when i trying add Google account.
And when im rebooting to recovery via terminal, its entered to twrp 2.8 (from this rom) not to fota sadly.

So here are results of my brief testing:

- It booted VERY FAST as there is no ART cache compilation after every update, cache is generated on-the-fly combining JIT and AOT compilation. BTW, not only first boot was fast but the latter ones too, much faster than CM13.
- First boot with Opengapps Pico for 08.26 led to Setup Master's FCs at some moments, yet after some painful experience I've succeed adding Google account and even restoring my apps and settings, which was quite surprising (I was amazed when noticed my ringtone being restored to that from CM13).
- 3G is not working, at least for me. Only EDGE.
- Getting root with the current version of SuperSU appears to be impossible, at least for our device.
- Phone seems to be less responsive, but maybe that's just me, because I regularly use it overclocked to 1.4 GHz.
- TWRP 2.8.0.0 and not working FOTA recovery, seriously? I was forced to repack boot image with the TWRP 3 (just quickly grabbed that from NUI as I'm lazy to repack recovery ramdisk for using in boot image). Some report it working but for me it always booted to the built-in TWRP, both by Vol- and Vol+. BTW, I can upload repacked boot image tomorrow (it is on my personal laptop, I'm writing this from my work one).

I would certainly use it as daily driver if there were root and NUI kernel available. It is very stable for such an early alpha (gosh, Ron started working on it a couple days ago as sources were published) and such an old phone (it debuted 3 years ago), we are very lucky to have so custom-friendly hardware and such a talented developers as Ron and guys working on msm8960 board (another reason I think is that there were no any bringing-pain-in-the-ass changes like ART in 4.4/5.0 and adoptable storage in 6.0). Great work, PecanCM!

I'll continue my testing tomorrow and revert to CM13 later until new SuperSU and NUI are released (or maybe forever if I'll buy new device soon).

    @PecanCM hi,
    Any good news about Beta 2 or something else [emoji6] [emoji6]

    nougat aosp beta is monthly now just like marshmallow aosp was so only 1 release par month unless there is important fix.

    btw last week i got eye and sinus infection now when i'm recovering from infection, my xperia m's usb port stopped working (only way to detect is if i keep applying pressure), i have handed phone to repair shop but i hope it's only port problem nothing big as few days ago my phone completed 3 years.

    about cyanogenmod 14, expect camcorder working list is same as aosp. (well audio need full testing as using aosp hal mixer_paths)
