Kek.
The Nexus 5 won't be getting Nougat. I thought we had at least another year or two of updates.
This is kinda bullshit.

Just wait for CM14 tbqh

It's not the same.

What are you, poor?
Chase Butler
You get support up till nougat is released, then you can use custom roms.
Don't be a whiny bitch, nexus 5 was less than half the price of an iPhone.
Christian Scott
I don't understand what made you think it'd be supported?
Gabriel Fisher
Nexus phones are generally pretty stable with custom ROMs. I have a CM13 nightly on my Nexus 6 and I have no issues.
Jonathan Moore
my nexus five is still kicking, but the only thing i use it for is tethering. I still think it's one of the best smartphones to be made to date.
Ian Cox
>The phone will still receive security updates for the time being.
All I care about tbqh
Thomas Kelly
It's better.
Christopher Jackson
Yep, it's better.
Anthony Howard
It's so much better. Battery life AND performance improves.
If you could do that shit on ios, I'd buy an iPhone.
Julian Cooper
How often are they bricked?
Can I still use the Play Store and Google apps?
How is the security?
Levi Williams
>How often are they bricked?
The installation procedure is literally what you have to do to unbrick, except you use a different firmware.
>Can I still use the Play Store and Google apps?
If you choose to install them.
>How is the security?
Updates are nightly. Make of that what you want.
Jordan Ortiz
Only bricked once by accidentally deleting android from my Nexus 5. Diced with ADB.
All stock android shit works fine because it's still android. Security is just as good as stock, if not better. Depending on the rom you install.
My go to rom for my Nexus 5 is purity rom. Best performance and battery life, very minimal.
Loved it so much.
Isaiah Hughes
Did anyone try CopperheadOS? How is it?
Easton Jenkins
>Security is just as good as stock, if not better.
That's not true. Simply rooting and unlocking your bootloader already introduces tons of security issues.
Grayson Cook
A lot of the ROMs pushed the heartbleed fixes quicker than OEMs.
Jayden Morris
>A lot
*99% of them
Easton Thompson
2 cents have been deposited to your iTunes account.
Landon Cook
I wouldn't consider a phone that's still recoverable 'bricked'.
Nolan Robinson
You can simply relock the bootloader...
Zachary Miller
The Apple iPhone 6S Plus doesn't have this problem.
Brayden Russell
I wonder if any android owner has ever been happy with his phone out of the box ? haha

My N5 has been going strong on CM nightlies ever since I got it over 2 and a half years ago, never had a single issue
William Myers
pretty damn hard unless you're a complete fool and pull the battery out midway through a flash, but even then it's probably still recoverable
this, if you can recover it, it's not bricked. Except in the case of this for the G3:

>pull the battery out midway through a flash
Won't do anything. Just enter recovery and try again. To seriously brick your device you would have to corrupt bootloader and other hidden partitions. And even then there would probably be a way, like what you just posted.
David Nelson
You brick it only if you're stupid enough to mod your rom. I never had a brick on my device for years.
Tyler Powell
Works great. Even with all the security features active (which is supposed to be more battery and processor intensive) I don't notice any difference between it and a stock ROM in regular use.
Except I don't have google apps. Only F-droid apps. Supposedly you can add google apps but I tried and it didn't work.
Caleb Torres
It didn't get Marshmallow either but that's why custom ROMs exist.
Adrian Cox
...Yes, it did.
Brayden Ramirez
It didn't even get lollipop!
Henry Howard
>Google
>Support
Only a retard would buy jewgle products
I feel sorry for the dumb motherfuckers who bought a $1300 Pixel 2 years ago and now it's not getting updates
Angel Martinez
I hate Google so much.
Josiah Gomez
I hate yo mama!
Caleb Jenkins
lol nice try, but that's not true at all. Apparently it's April 2018.
Ryan Evans
Juan Hall
new features != updates
Chase Reed
Wow.
Juan Hernandez
You're the retard, Google has great support of their products.
Andrew Foster
Kek. You think people with pixels actually use Chrome OS.
