Last month Google released the 6th iteration of Android named as Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Google has made system enhancements in the Android 6.0 Marshmallow which make it the biggest update of Android so far. Android 6.0 Marshmallow is the most stable and most secure version of Android. As soon as Android Marshmallow came out, manufacturers started working on Android 6.0 Marshmallow for their flagship devices.

Since these Google apps are essential for your device and are the very basic applications for any Android device, you must flash these applications on your device after flashing an Android 6.0 Marshmallow custom ROM in order to get your device working properly.
