[TriLUG] Android OS replacement

[shay walters via TriLUG]

I have an old Verizon Galaxy Nexus which is still running their Android.  I
looked through the options on LineageOS, but didn't see anything that
specifically matched.   There were a few Nexus models under the Google
name, but I didn't see one that was just plain "Nexus".  I occasionally use
it (Wifi, not 3G) but I leave it powered off most of the time out of
concern for security.  It hasn't had an Android update since 2012.
   I've gone into the phone settings, and the model is simply "Galaxy
Nexus".  Do you have any recommendations on how I should proceed to
identify a ROM appropriate for this phone?

Thanks,
-Shay
