Samsung’s Galaxy Nexus will celebrate its fourth birthday this month with an Android 6.0 Marshmallow ROM.

The same developer who successfully ported Lollipop to the device has been working his magic on Marshmallow, and although there is still a lot of work to be done, users can download and install an early ROM now to get a taste of Google’s latest software.

Google will want to give Android Pay the best possible chance of competing against Apple Pay, but that doesn’t mean it will support rooted smartphones and unofficial ROMs.

The TWRP custom recovery is now available for Galaxy Note 5, less than a month after the handset made its retail debut, paving the way for custom ROMs, kernels, and other third-party tweaks.

Here’s how.

If you have no interest in swapping your Galaxy S6 for a Galaxy Note 5, or you live in Europe where Samsung’s new phablet won’t be going on sale, that doesn’t mean you mean you have to miss out on its new TouchWiz software.

A Galaxy Note 5 ROM has already been ported to the Galaxy S6, and it doesn’t just bring new features, but also stability and performance improvements.
