Download the Vivo V5 Android 7.0 Nougat TWRP Flashable ZIP (e.g., Vivo_V5_Android_Nougat_7.0_TWRP.zip).
Place it on your external SD card (or OTG USB drive) – not on internal storage (to avoid being wiped accidentally).
Based on user reports from XDA and 4PDA forums:
| Issue | Likelihood | Workaround | |-------|------------|-------------| | Fingerprint sensor not working | High | None – driver mismatch | | Camera crashes or low quality | Medium | Use third-party camera app (Footej) | | VoLTE (Jio, etc.) broken | High | No fix – revert to stock | | Battery drain | Medium | Calibrate battery, disable unused sensors | | Wi-Fi/MAC address change | Low | Reflash with correct persist backup | | No FM Radio | Medium | Use online radio apps | vivo v5 android version 70 update portable
Recommendation: If you rely on fingerprint, VoLTE, or a stable camera, do not install portable Android 7.0.
The official verdict: Vivo never released an official Android 7.0 Nougat update for the Vivo V5. The device launched with Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) and Funtouch OS 2.6, and Vivo ceased software support for this model at that version.
However, the term “portable” typically refers to unofficial custom ROMs (e.g., LineageOS 14.1) that can be manually installed to run Android 7.0 on the Vivo V5. This report explains the feasibility, risks, and step-by-step guidance for advanced users.

Post Body:
To the dev community: Looking for a stable portable build of Android 7.0 for the Vivo V5?
Since the stock Vivo firmware is heavy (Funtouch OS), you can try porting LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7.1.2) to this device (MT6750 chipset).
Prerequisites for a portable build:
Current status: ✅ Camera works (13MP rear/16MP front) – with fixes ✅ WiFi/Bluetooth ❌ VoLTE might break
