Hola Friends,
Today I am going to explain you the process of installing CM-14.1 Nightly on your Moto-G 1st Generation.
Before starting make sure your device’s bootloader is unlocked(this may void your phone warranty) and you have installed a custom recovery mod like TWRP or Cynogen Custom Recovery.
First all you need to do is download the CM-14.1 Nightly build from official from official website or from my shared google drive folder and the Open Gapps package from official website or from my shared google drive folder, then copy those in your Phone’s Storage.
Next thing you need to do is Reboot into TWRP Recovery Mode of your device by pressing Volume Down + Power Key simultaneously and click on
Wipe -> Advanced Wipe
Then check the following options
- Dalvik/ART Cache
- Data
- Cache
- System
and make you don’t check Internal Storage option it will delete the ROM file from your phone and you will not be able to install the ROM then swipe to wipe the data.
After completion go to main TWRP options by pressing back option and click on
Install -> choose the CM-14.1 Zip file and then swipe to install the ROM file.
After installation, you will need to install the Open GApps zip file for Google Apps by simply clicking on
Install -> choose OpenGapps Zip file from main TWRP Screen.
After completing GApps install all you need to do it Tap on Reboot option and your device will reboot in CM-14.1.
At start you might need to set up device completely by adding your google account and installing apps.
After the process completes enjoy the latest Android Nougat-7.1.
Till now I have not seen any bugs, random reboots or any other issues in fact post installation the battery backup has improved a lot so best of luck.
Happy Hacking…
Note:
Before starting
- If you are downloading Open GApps from official website then make sure you select following options
- Platform : ARM
- Android : 7.1
- Variant : any but pico is the Lightest version, you may choose any option (except tvstock)
- Make sure your device’s bootloader is unlocked and device has a custom recover mod(recommended TWRP)
- Unlocking bootloader might void your device’s warranty.
- I have installed tested the ROM on Moto G-1st Generation not sure about other devices.
