AOSP Marshmallow ROM for Galaxy Nexus (Download & Install)

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is another phone which joins the train on Android 6.0 Marshmallow devices. The official Marshmallow update is already available for the latest Nexus devices, but the Galaxy Nexus doesn’t get to enjoy any of it. The Galaxy Nexus is an old device and Google has dropped support long time ago.

But even though there’s no official support from Google, it doesn’t mean that the Galaxy Nexus cannot enjoy any future software updates. Ziyan is a recognized developer known for the popular custom ROM called ZMoD. The ROM has many features such as theming support, advanced reboot and other improvements.

Recently, the developer has released a beta build of Android 6.0 Marshmallow for the Galaxy Nexus based on AOSP (Android Open Source Project). The ROM is not stable and there are many bugs in the system. If you install the ROM, do not expect to be using it as a daily driver. It is highly experimental and it should be used for testing purposes only.
