Google dropped support for Nexus 5 with the Android 7.0 Nougat update. The last official update Nexus 5 received was Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow only. But that isn’t stopping the awesome developers from getting the latest and greatest of Android to your device.

The latest Android release, Android 7.1, is currently out as a developer preview for Nexus 5X, 6P and Pixel C. But with CM14.1, you can get Android 7.1 booting on your Nexus 5 as well.

CM14.1 is an Android 7.1 Nougat based AOSP ROM developed and maintained by CyanogenMod — the most popular custom ROM for Android devices.

This is an unofficial release of CM14.1 for Nexus 5 and might not be perfect for everyone. Check all details about the ROM below, along with downloads and installation instructions.
