Learn How to Download and Install Official CM 14.1 on Moto G 1st generation (CyanogenMod 14.1 / Android 7.1 Nougat):The Motorola Moto G was the first ever device that kicked it off with the whole concept of stock Android budget devices. Released all the way in 2013, the specifications it held with respect to its budget price were really good. A 4.5″ 720p display, 1 Gigabyte of RAM, the Snapdragon 400, a 2070 mAh battery, all on top of Stock Android KitKat, it was a pleasure to use it.
However, as we know it, the Moto G’s last update was Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, which is pitiful, since it only got one huge update (KitKat > Lollipop). This is the problem with older Motorola devices. Due to the Google and Lenovo acquisition, many old devices have been left to die, and the Moto G is one of them, even though it has some serious potential.
Very recently, Cyanogen announced the debut of their newest build of ROMs – CyanogenMod 14.1. CM 14.1 is built off of Android Nougat 7.1, which is even more, newer than most of the official firmware out there. Good for you, many devices have received the CM 14.1 official update, and the Moto G is one of them!
