[7.0] Galaxy Nexus Nougat ROM (Android 7.0, AOSP ROM)

[Linux User]

Galaxy Nexus Nougat ROM is available through unofficial AOSP ROM update and this is a guide which explains how to update Galaxy Nexus to Nougat ROM. Galaxy Nexus is otherwise known as tuna and hence this is for Tuna Nougat ROM (maguro, toro, toroplus nougat rom). As always this Nougat ROM for Galaxy Nexus is brought to you by developer Ziyan, MWisBest and Hashcode. Although the Galaxy Nexus is 5 years old device but the unofficial Nougat ROM is quickly released by these developers.

Installing a custom ROM on a Galaxy Nexus device requires the bootloader to be unlocked and a custom recovery to be installed on the Galaxy Nexus phone, which may VOID your warranty and may delete all your data. Before proceeding further you may consider backup all data on the phone. You are the only person doing changes to your phone and I cannot be held responsible for the mistakes done by you.
