In the spirit of the Pure Nexus Project, these Nano and Stock Nexus ROMs prove that less can be more. The goal is to keep true to Google's vision and use the bare minimum of OEM or third-party apps or add-ons, which can be added à la carte by the user as needed. These ROMs also serve as a foundation for TVStock Nexus ROMs, which now deliver the pure Android TV experience using the Open GApps TVStock Package.

- This ROM is based on GT1_113M0 for the 9377 WiFi chipset (S/N beginning with S912 or G912). If your unit has the AP6255 WiFi chipset (S/N beginning with A912), install the AP6255 UPDATE in TWRP after you flash the ROM to restore WiFi functionality.
- The updater is signed, and so can be installed in the Update & Backup app, the stock recovery, or TWRP. It's designed for incremental updates, since user data is preserved. Bootloader, boot partition and system partition are included, but not recovery.
- Flash ROMs at your own risk and always remember to back up your data first. The burn package includes a factory reset
