Once Google released the Nougat source code, AOSP builds were available a few days later for Nexus 5 (hammerhead), Nexus 7 (flo), Nexus 4 (mako), Jiyau S3 Plus, Xperia M and the OnePlus One (bacon).

The day Google dropped the Nougat source code in, folks at Cyanogen also started merging the code into their Github repositories. Thus begun the work on the next iteration of CyanogenMod, CyanogenMod 14 (CM14).

It has been about two weeks since Cyanogen started merging the code into their Github, thus it was about time for some experimental builds to show up.

Since it has been only two weeks since Google released the Nougat source code, CyanogenMod 14 is still in it's infancy. It is really very close to AOSP at the moment, but as time progresses, more features would be merged into CyanogenMod 14.

Currently, beta builds of CM14 are available for the following roster of devices:

• OnePlus X (onyx)
• Android One First Generation (sprout4)
• Nexus 5 (hammerhead)

The preview builds for the above devices have been made available by the respective developers over at XDA. You can click on the names of the devices above to view their respective XDA threads. The XDA threads for the above devices were created because the developers wanted to give those devices users a preview of Nougat or CM14 was stable enough for the devices. However, there are certain devices for which the XDA threads were not created, but Nougat booted up on these devices. We enlist them for you too. Take a look:

• Moto G 2013 (falcon)
• Moto G 2014 (titan)
• Yu Yureka (tomato)
• Samsung Galaxy S4 Value Edition GT-i9515
