In conclusion, that is how to install an unofficial build of Android 6.0 Marshmallow on the Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 smartphone by installing the CyanogenMod 13 custom ROM. The team from CyanogenMod make the best custom ROMs in the world, and there is never any doubt about quality with these ROMs. IN fact, you can often expect them to run more smoothly and faster than the stock ROM made by the Android developers, and the level of stability is also top notch. However, it must be said that installing a custom ROM is always going to void the warranty you might have had on the device because these companies will not cover anything apart from the stock ROM that they make. It’s for that reason that installing custom ROMs like the CyanogenMod 13 Rom is usually done by experienced Android users only.
