The most awaited Nexus device of the year 2014 — the Google Nexus 6 — has all the specs and hardware which an Android smartphone should have. We are talking about a 6 inches display, better pixel density for crisp display, a powerful 2.7 GHz snapdragon 805 quad-core processor and 3 GB of RAM for fast multitasking and a 13 MP camera which is capable of shooting a stunning 4K video at 30 frame per seconds. If owning this phone is a piece of cake for you then how’s about icing on that cake? I’m talking about a custom ROM for your Nexus 6.
Custom ROMs always comes with bugs but what I got for you here are the most stable custom ROMs for your Nexus 6. These custom ROMs are not made by us they are property of their respectable owners we are just gathering them in one article. The installation instructions and other details are given in the link provided with the ROM.
But first you need to root your Nexus 6 before installing a custom ROM, also you need to install a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP (make sure they are latest because all the custom ROM has a base of Android 5.0 Lollipop so recovery must be latest to support it). If everything goes well with rooting or installing custom recovery then installing custom ROM will be a piece of cake for you.
Always remember these points before installing a custom ROM on your phone:
- Make sure that your phone have USB debugging enabled on it.
- Make sure that your phone have at least 60% battery on it.
- Always take backup before installing a custom ROM on your phone because it will deletes all the data stored on the internal memory of your phone.
