In conclusion, that is how to update the Amazon Kindle Fire smartphone to Android 6.0 Marshmallow unofficially with a SlimMarsh custom ROM. As you know, a custom ROM is not a stock ROM because it is not made by official developers. The developers who make custom ROMs are self-employed and they do not even necessarily get paid for the work. They do it mainly for fun and to help people who want to be able to update their smartphones and tablets. Since Android is an open source operating system, it allows for people to change the source code once they get a hold of it. That means anyone can have a play, but only those talented enough to make something worthwhile ever become ROMs that people install. We can tell you that SlimMarsh is made by quality developers, and it is a stable ROM.
