the last patch might have been in 2016 but it still works great. it astonishes me why google decided to go away from the nexus brand when they were some of the best devices google had.

also those google play music and google+ icons. bring them back. </3

Was yours the first or second gen?

I booted up my first gen a couple months back and it was painfully slow. Not just slow in comparison to a modern device, just unusably slow.

i believe its second since it has android 6 and a rear camera but it was so long ago

I have the first gen, and it has been virtually unusable for almost a decade now. From what I remember, Google had reached the $199 MSRP by using incredibly cheap storage that was prone to failure after only a few years. Installing a custom ROM is obviously better than stock nowadays, but no software can fix the abysmal storage speed.

I think I had a lightweight ROM on it, but it's not worth investigating at this point.

I had both, and yeah 2nd Gen was where the magic was.
