How To Install CM14.1 Android 7.1 On Nexus 7 (2013)

It is already reported and widely known that the Asus Nexus 7 (2013) will not be one of the lucky device to get the Android Nougat updates officially. But do not be dissapointed with the fact because you still can go to the custom ROM. And yes there is a custom ROM, a famous one, CM14.1 that brings Android 7.1 Nougat for your Nexus 7.

And CM14.1 is not the only custom ROM to serve the device with Nougat, but there are others too, and on this blog I have previously shared the tutorials to update Nexus 7 (2013) and you can read the instructions from this page and from this page.

Back to the main topic, you can follow the flashing processes by the instructions written here, but remember that doing so will require you to unlock bootloader and install a csutom ROM, on this post I use TWRP. As the result your device's warranty will be nullified. So all the risks are your to face!
