Just a day after Sony released an Android N Developer Preview for the Xperia Z3, an unofficial port has been made available for the Xperia Z2.

Samsung’s focus on making its smartphones as secure as can be mean there’s little chance you’ll be able to flash third-party ROMs and tweaks on many handsets in the Galaxy S7 series. That’s not the case for LG’s new G5 handset.

If you buy the device on T-Mobile, it ships with an unlockable bootloader, paving the way for all kinds of user customizations.

The OnePlus 2’s OxygenOS 3.0 beta, based on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, is now open to all following a limited soak test that kicked off two weeks ago.

Users can download the ROM now for manual flashing — and it’s already being described as “daily-driver-material” by OnePlus.
