Adding to the release date reports, Pocket-Lint published Sony that is working hard to bring the Marshmallow system in Xperia gadgets. However, there is still no timeline from the company about the official release date of the update.

For Xperia Z2 users who want to have the Android M, they can get it by installing custom ROM developed by rcstar6696, a senior member of the world renowned XDA developer forum.

The operating system is based on the AOSP (Android Open Source Project) Marshmallow OS. It offers the Doze battery saving feature, new security boot application and other value-added feature on Xperia Z2.

By installing the custom ROM, users can have improved device performance, but it makes the Sony warranty void; the company will no longer be liable to provide updates in future.

It is important to note that this firmware is an experimental version. So, there are some bugs in it. Users are advised to exercise caution before deciding to install the software.
