LineageOS 14 Android Nougat For Xperia V 2
A lot of devices have been receiving the latest LineageOS 14 ROM based on Android 7.1 Nougat officially from the community. However, a lot of mid range devices like the Xperia V have not even received the Nougat firmware update. Defying all odds, here is a brand new Lineageos 13 ROM for the device that will upgrade it to Android 7.1.2 Nougat firmware.

Lineageos is known to build some of the best third party ROMS for Android devices. Nightlies are stable as they are being developed for a long time now. The best part about Lineageos 14 ROM is that it’s light weight, fast and most importantly Android 7.1 Nougat based.

However, in order to install the ROM, you will need to setup TWRP and then flash the ROM and Google Apps simultaneously. To be sure, backup everything before you proceed. This may include the apps, media, documents and all of your internal storage, just in case anything goes wrong.
