Although Android One devices have received the official Marshmallow update from Google, you may want to add some cool new features to it and thus might be looking towards custom ROMs. We have picked out some of the coolest Marshmallow custom ROMs available for Android One sets — be sure to download as per your device type/codename, Sprout4 or Sprout8. Sprout4 devices are usually those with 4GB of internal storage, while Sprout8 comes with 8GB storage.
We have the popular CM13 ROM, as well as other well-known ROMs. Installing the Marshmallow update in the form of custom ROMs is easy, as you only need to have TWRP recovery installed.

Once you have installed TWRP, download the ROM, transfer to your device and then reboot the device into recovery mode to use TWRP recovery to install the ROM and get Marshmallow update with more customization features, including theming.
If you want to go back to stock ROM, the one that came installed or as an update, then you just need to download the stock firmware and install that back. Install stock firmware will remove both custom recovery (TWRP) and custom ROM (CM13 or any other).
