Nex

A Google Nexus Experience

​

Release Date: 07/30/2016

Updated: 08/20/2016

Introduction

Nex was inspired by Nexus phones by Google and focuses on 10 things:

* Simplicity

* Google Experience

* 2x Battery Life

* Stability

* Speed

* Security

* Internal Space

* 2x Graphic Performance (Pokemon GO, etc...)

* 2x Responsiveness

* Multitasking

Nex ROM was carefully designed to run smoothly while offering a Google Nexus experience on the memory constraint Moto E. Nex comes complete with the latest Google Apps that come standard on Nexus devices running Android Lollipop and there's a slim edition available that comes with the Play Store, Dialer, Contacts and Camera pre-installed. After installing Nex you'll be able to run a YouTube video in the background, zip a large file and update, post or browse your favorite social media app, play a game or browse the web at the same time with no problems.

A lot of time and brain power went into creating Nex, so, don't forget to like and share your feedback on this thread and I'll stay motivated in keeping Nex up to date. :)
