The most popular ROM is updated to Android 6.0 Marshmallow. I am talking about CyanogenMod. Its latest version the CyanogenMod 13 is based on Android 6.0 and it made its own way to Nexus 6.
The ROM it’s not released officially yet but still it brings the experience of Android 6.0 on your Nexus 6. The ROM is developed by a recognized developer not by the official team of CM so it is considered in an alpha stage and might not be fully working. Even though most of the function are working properly we still do not recommend using this build of CM as your daily driver.
We recommend this ROM only for those who like to mess up with their devices and want to try the newest feature first. Your Nexus 6 will be one of the first devices that will receive a OTA update of Android 6.0 as soon as it becomes available and ready to use. However if you can’t wait to receive the OTA update than you can install CM 13 but keep in mind that VoLTE and some of the CyanogenMod features are not working.
