gotta make sure it will fit in my pocket
Then I'll unlock the bootloader.

The first thing any Nexus owner should do is enable adb debugging and connect the device to a SDK installed computer and open the command line and:
Code:adb reboot-bootloader
Since that will erase the entire device, it's best to do it sooner, rather than later, if you ever plan on rooting a Nexus device. Don't want to root? No worries, you don't have to but just in case you ever do it's ready to go.Code:fastboot oem unlock
Of course this is not for everyone, so be sure to read up and understand exactly what you are doing if you decide to do this. And I'm just kidding about every Nexus owner having to do this...but seriously, consider it .
Reading through it appears that if you are Bootloader Unlocked, on the stock ROM, then Android Pay will work. If you are Bootloader Unlocked and having a modified system (i.e. kernel, root, mods, etc.) then Android Pay will not work.This is what I always do first. I'm a little concerned about Android Pay though - I know for sure it doesn't work with root, but what about an unlocked bootloader? I feel like there shouldn't be an issue, but there seems to be some confusion here:

I don't have a Nexus at the moment, so I can't test. If anyone does and can confirm that would be greatly appreciated.
