And to add another question, as I am trying to understand the build process a bit more: What kernel version do I actually get when I do "breakfast hammerhead"? It just identifies itself as 3.4, with no sublevel version given in the makefile or the final build. Is it 3.4.113? With additional backportet patches? Or is it just an earlier 3.4 revision? Thanks for explaining any of this, as it is super confusing when you start with these things! :)

Well since it's a long time ago since you flashed a ROM you may need to update TWRP too. I can highly recommend this one:

I'm not completely sure if you can flash the new unofficial builds on top of an old official version of this ROM so don't forget to take a backup before flashing the ROM.

Flashing the ROM is very simple:

Updating without wiping data instructions, aka dirty flashing:
1. Copy the ROM zip, Gapps zip and the Magisk zip to your device. (both Gapps and Magisk are optional)
2. Boot into Recovery.
3. Flash the ROM zip.
4. Optional: Flash the Gapps zip.
5. Optional: Flash the Magisk zip.
6. Wipe Dalvik / Art Cache & /Cache.
7. Reboot to System.

Clean flashing instructions for in case dirty flashing does not work:
1. Copy the ROM zip, Gapps zip and the Magisk zip to your device. (both Gapps and Magisk are optional)
2. Boot into Recovery.
3. Wipe Dalvik / Art Cache, /System, /Data & /Cache.
4. Flash the ROM zip.
5. Optional: Flash the Gapps zip.
6. Optional: Flash the Magisk zip.
7. Reboot to System.

That's it, good luck!

Get a replacement battery. I bought a (new for me) 32 GB Nexus 5 and 2 batteries to replace batteries on both of them. There should be some around for low prices. There are guides on how to take the back panel out (just don't rush it and take your time to slowly get the adhesive to un-stick).
