Download and Install Xperia Z3 Android 6.0 Marshmallow ROM With Gapps

The Sony Xperia Z3 is the next Android phone to get a working Android 6.0 Lollipop ROM. The Xperia Z3 is one of Sony’s most popular devices. Sony has updated the phone to 5.0.2 from 4.4.2 and a possible Marshmallow update is set for the future.

If you can’t wait till then, you can try the stock AOSP Marshmallow ROM. The ROM is not stable and many things are not working. The build is experimental and bug fixes will appear in future updates of the ROM.

At the moment, the Sony Xperia Z3 Marshmallow ROM contains a few bugs, such as auto rotation not working, graphic glitches, and camera app force closing. Probably the biggest issue that might set you back from installing the Marshmallow ROM on your Xperia Z3 is the fact that RIL is not working. This means that you cannot make phone calls or use mobile data.

If this doesn’t stop you from loading the latest version of Android on your phone, take a look below to download all the required files.
