When it was announced the that Nexus 4 wasn’t going to get Android Marshmallow, many users hanging onto their aging Nexus phone were understandably disappointed, but given the community support that Nexus devices generally have, it’s not like it was ever going to miss out. Case in point, one Dmitry Grinberg has released a guide on how to get Android Marshmallow on the Nexus 4 – note though that it’s not the standard straightforward method of flashing an images; it does require some basic Android modding know-how. If in doubt, just take a look at the guide and see whether or not the instructions make sense.
As far as we can tell, the method detailed by Grinberg appears to be very stable and has had standard functionality tested, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC, cellular and the camera, all apparently working. However, as with all modding activity, there’s a very real chance that things will still be buggy and thing will go wrong, so don’t expect the three-year-old Nexus 4 to run everything perfectly.
What do you think about this method to get Android Marshmallow on the Nexus 4? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
