Here’s how to install Android 6.0 on your Nexus 4

Remember the Nexus 4? You might, but Google isn’t particularly invested in keeping it in everyone’s memory anymore. Out of all the devices slated to get the Android 6.0 update, the Nexus 4 didn’t make the cut. To be completely fair, the Nexus 4 is pretty old, and all devices will eventually reach the end of their official support, but if you’re still rocking a Nexus 4 it might be a little disappointing.

The good news is that it’s still a Nexus device, and that means unofficial support for the device will last for years and years past when Google decides it’s time to retire the phone. A Nexus owner, Dmitry Grinberg, has kindly uploaded a list of instructions for building your own Android 6.0 Marshmallow ROM to install a Nexus 4, complete with an optional radio flashing that will bring LTE support for the not-officially-LTE Nexus 4.

If you’re not interested in compiling things for yourself, there’s also a pre-built image you can go ahead and flash to get your Nexus 4 updated to the latest Android release. Not a bad deal for a device that’s no longer officially supported.
