After Google has informed that the Nexus 5 was not one of the devices that would officially receive the update to Android Nougat, users with more experience and knowledge, they put their hands to work. Is the Nexus 5 still has a hardware very interesting for today, and it was expected that some programmer to do the work that the giant of the searches was not to have.
Santhosh M is scheduled, and eliminated the initial problems, and has released a ROM of Android Nougat, usable in day-to-day. Apparently everything is working, since the GPS, Bluethoot, Camera, Wi-Fi, data connection, 4G, phone calls, etc..
According to the tests carried out by the community and moderators of the famous forum XDA, the performance of the Nexus 5 equipped with Nougat is quite satisfactory. Videos online YouTube and off-line of MX Player and VLC run perfectly, such as the popular applications of Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. The performance seems to be to a true Stock ROM.
The functionality more difficult to put in the work as the mode multijanela, something that consumes a lot of resources, also is working. It is important to remember that the Nexus 5 has a Snapdragon 800 with 2GB of RAM, however the applications are usually open with the screen divided, although in the tests, you will note a certain slowness in the moment of returning to only one of the programs in full screen.
As if this is a ROM not the official, to install it is necessary to have the bootloader unlocked and a Custom Recovery. In the case of Android 7.0 AOSP for Nexus 5, you need to install specifically the TWRP, and do a complete wipe before installing the ROM.
If you want more details about the firmware in question, or download the ROM, just go here.
I have personally been a happy owner of the Nexus 5, from what I know, what is your real value. And I think that is a shame Google has abandoned support for one of the best smartphones ever made.
