Whenever you flash a pure custom ROM like CyanogenMod on your Android phone, you have to flash the Google Gapps next. Gapps vary according to the custom ROM that you are trying to install. For each version of a custom ROM, there is a different version of Gapps. For example, if you have flashed Cyanogen 14 which was based on Android Nougat, you will have to find the compatible Gapps that work with Android Nougat. Flashing Gapps of Android Marshmallow on an Android Nougat based ROM will not work at all.
CyanogenMod was undoubtedly the most popular aftermarket Android firmware. It discontinued and gave birth to LineageOS. CyanogenMod’s last version was CM 14. CM 14 is based on unofficial Android 7.0 Nougat firmware. If you are planning to install CM 14 custom ROM on your phone, you will definitely need the Gapps for your phone.
