The Nexus 4 can now be updated to Android 6.0 Marshmallow using a new custom ROM. Download and install Chroma ROM to the 2012 smartphone co-developed by LG and Google.

Team Android offers a step-by-step guide on how to install Android 6.0 Marshmallow update using the Chroma custom ROM. According to the report, the Android 6.0 Chroma offers customization features to provide more options for users to personalize visuals, wallpapers, notifications and more.

Even though it is a new custom ROM, Chroma provides a smooth and fast performance. However, Team Android cautioned the users that since it is an unofficial firmware, installing it automatically voids the warranties available for the smartphone.

LG Nexus 4 users willing to try the Chroma ROM to experience Android 6.0 Marshmallow should make sure first that the battery level of their handset is at least 80 percent. This is to prevent any power interruptions once the update process is ongoing.

Moreover, another important thing to secure before the actual update process is a reliable recovery tool. Installing a custom ROM on any device will likely wipe clean the phone's memory.

Thus, there's a need to use recommended tools such as ClockWorkMod (CWM) or TeamWin Recovery Project (TWRP) to create a backup of all the important files and settings.
