[Download] Lineage OS 14.1 for Motorola Moto G 2nd Gen (2014) (titan)

After the success of the Original Moto G, Motorola went ahead and gave people what they obviously left out in the Moto G. With the addition of a larger display and a much needed microSD card slot, the Moto G 2014 was good to go.

With its legacy stock Android 4.4.4 Kitkat on board the Moto G 2014 packed in 1GB of RAM, the Snapdragon 400 and a 5-inch 720p display. In terms of performance this presented a very high price to performance ratio device.

Fast forward to three years later and you get the feeling that your device is outdated now. Motorola updated the smartphone till Marshmallow as promised. But with Lineage OS 14.1, the Moto G 2014 can now run on the latest and greatest from Android.

Since this is an official release of Lineage OS, the ROM can be expected to be used as a daily driver, but it’s preferably safer to flash the Nightly builds. If you’re the daring type and are dying to find out what’s new with Lineage then by all means go ahead with the experimental builds.

Note: You must have a custom recovery like TWRP installed on your device to be able to install Lineage OS. Also, you will need to download and flash root addon package separately as Lineage OS only provides root via ADB.

  2. Boot your Moto G 2014 into TWRP recovery.
