A SIXPERIENCE custom ROM unofficially brings Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow to the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. The 6.0.1 Marshmallow update is expected to hit the Verizon Galaxy Note 4 this month.
Users of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge with build number G925F can flash the SIXPERIENCE custom ROM to get a taste of the latest Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update. According to WCCF Tech, the SIXPERIENCE custom ROM can be installed on Galaxy S6 Edge devices with build number G925F only. Users can manually check for the model number of their devices in the About Device tab found in the Settings menu.
The SIXPERIENCE unofficial ROM based on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow is described as "prerooted, zipaligned, deodexed, deknoxed, and light debloated." It also contains official stock apps and frameworks for the Galaxy S6 Edge variant. A recovery tool is needed to first root and unlock the device prior installation. It is recommended that the user should first back up important data since the custom ROM will perform a complete wipe when installed.
