PLEASE READ YOUR APPLICABLE PROCESS AND UNDERSTAND IT BEFORE ATTEMPTING. ALSO READ THE LATEST UPDATE POST AND THIS FAQ, IT HAS SOME GOOD INFO IN IT.

Pre-requisites: An unlocked bootloader and custom recovery installed. Use this guide if you need assistance with this (just read the beginning of the guide, follow sections 1 and 2, then come here).

Which path do I choose? Clean install or dirty flash?

Dirty flash: If you are already on Pure Nexus AND NOT flashing across Android versions (6.x.x to 7.x.x). Please check the update post linked about though. This keeps your apps and their data intact.
Clean install: When you have problems with dirty flashing, when coming from another custom ROM or stock Android, OR when required (check the update post).

Always do a clean install before reporting issues :)

How to dirty flash:

  1. Download the latest Pure Nexus zip, your choice of root zip (optional), and your custom kernel (optional) onto your phone.
  2. Boot into TWRP and make a backup (remove any lock screen security before this, optional but HIGHLY recommended).
  3. Wipe cache and dalvik cache (optional).
  4. Flash Pure Nexus zip.
  5. Flash custom kernel (optional).
  6. Flash root (optional).
  7. Reboot and profit.
How to clean install:

  1. Download the latest Pure Nexus zip, your choice of root zip (optional), and your custom kernel (optional) onto your phone.
  2. Backup any important data.
  3. Delete any Layers you have installed
  4. Boot into TWRP and make a backup (remove any lock screen security before this, optional but HIGHLY recommended).
  5. Wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik cache in Wipe > Advanced Wipe.
  6. Flash Pure Nexus zip.
  7. Flash custom kernel (optional).
  8. Flash root (optional).
  9. Reboot and profit.
Root links:
A note about Open GApps:

If you want to flash Open GApps, you MUST omit the Google Package Installer; otherwise, your permissions requests will be elongated and unpressable. To do this, follow the below process before step 3 above:
  1. Download the appropriate Open GApps zip and place it in the location of your choice.
  2. In the same location as the GApps zip, make a file named ".gapps-config".
  3. In that file, simply type "PackageInstallerGoogle".
  4. Save the file and continue on in your process.
To read more on this, visit Open GApps' wiki. This process is NOT necessary with Banks or PN GApps.

This Google Camera problem maybe unresolved for now.
No one can fix it, unfortunately.

I'm not asking about stock app, I'm asking about Google's. Does it have the flickering on this ROM? If I have to use some AOSP crap I think I'll stick to Nitrogen OS and save the flash.
