Download Daily Driver Android 7.0 Nougat ROM for Nexus 5

There have been a few Android 7.0 Nougat ROMs for the Nexus 5. You might have tried some of them on your own phone, and you have probably noticed they are slow, buggy and overall not ideal to be used as daily drivers. But, “Santhosh M”, a recognized developer and a recognized contributor over at the XDA forums has posted an Android 7.0 Nougat, AOSP-based ROM for the Nexus 5, which is fully working and there are no known major bugs or issues.
As you might know, Google decided not to release any Nougat updates for the Nexus 5, and retired the phone with Android 6.0 Marshmallow as the last software update. Well, Marshmallow is the last official update for the Nexus 5, but not the last overall update.
Thanks to the amazing developers over at XDA, you can enjoy a fully working Nougat ROM on your Nexus 5. According to the developer, there are major no bugs that should keep you away from trying the ROM and using it as a daily driver.

• Working: WiFi, RIL (mobile data, calls, SMS), Bluetooth, camera and basically everything else.
• Not working: Nothing the developer is aware of.
