While Android Nougat is not available officially for Nexus 4 and Nexus 5, we know you had expected a ROM coming sometime soon. And it is here now!! Modders at XDA Forum have been successful in porting Android Nougat ROM to both Nexus 5 and Nexus 4.
In case of Nexus 5, nearly everything is working, while Nexus 4, as expected has more difficulty in running Android Nougat. Read on for download and installation instructions below. In case you are a poweruser it may be a cakewalk for you to flash the ROMs. But for others we can just say “do it at your own risk”.

Note: You will see Fc’s all along the setup, just skip them if shown. Also if Google Play Services is crashing, grant it the location permission in the settings. I’m also surprised to say that even with your data not wiped, it’s working.
