For anyone running stock

I was running stock 7.0, and between all this 7.1 upgrade/downgrade and the sluggish performance of my phone, I was seriously considering getting a galaxy s8 next month.

After several years of running stock (I used custom roms a lot when I had an HTC desire), I finally decided to unlock the bootloader and install a custom rom (pure nexus), and I couldn't be happier with the result. I am now confident I can keep my N6 until the Pixel 2 is out.

So for anyone wondering what to do with their N6 and running stock, I highly recommend a custom rom!
