Install Android 7.0 Nougat Beta 6 ROM on Galaxy S7/ S7 Edge

As we all know the Nougat beta version for the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge was released a few weeks ago. The earlier beta versions were buggy and used to get laggy at times. But the developers have hammered it. I’m glad to inform that the beta 6 version of the Nougat is better, faster and more customizable. Of course, this ROM is based on the stock Android Nougat Beta firmware. Just it is running the latest Android version. We all know why you are here. So let us get started.

Note- This ROM is only for the models S7 Flast (SM-G930F) and S7 Edge (SM-G935F).
