Official Google Announcement: No Android 6 Marshmallow for the Nexus 4

[pjc123]

So I was listening to the new product announcement talks this morning and they announced that their will be no Android 6 Marshmallow for the Nexus 4. For those that are going to move to an alternate ROM, what will it be? Although I know how to, I have never installed an alternate ROM, as rooted with Xposed framework gave me enough to play around with and all the features I needed. Would CyanogenMod be a good stable OS choice when their version of Marshmallow is released (CM13)?

That's my probable choice.

Ordered a N6P today. I'll probably put my N4 on CM and keep it as a backup.

I'm currently using SimpleAOSP cause I hate stock lollipop. There will likely be a decent CM build of Marshmallow for the N4, which I won't use because I think they've lost their way.

Not really impressed with the 5X or 6P so I've ordered a Oneplus 2 for better or worse... Don't really like how they operate either though, man I'm negative lol.

Wubba lubba dub dub!

Only 23% of devices even have lollipop so I don't really feel left out. My N4 still runs awesome and as smooth as butter so no desperation for a new phone and OS here.
I think 3/4"s of apps still have to master running on lollipop anyways and aren't terribly worried about Marshmallow considering the percentage of phones that will be running Marshmallow.
Don't get me wrong I'd love a bigger screen,better camera and longer battery life not to mention a finger print sensor but I'm not jumping ship unless the N5X is really worth it.

Yeah, been following that topic on XDA developers for a few days now as noted here:

Way too early to be messing around with because there are just too many issues popping up. I think I am going to wait for the first stable CM 13 release at this point; I am in no rush.
