The Moto G is easily one of the best choices on the market for a low-cost smartphone. One of the more appealing aspects of the handset is that it’s essentially unlocked and free of carrier ties, allowing users to more easily do all the things that carriers attempt to block on their branded handsets. Among those things is rooting and ROMing, and now CyanogenMod 11 nightlies are rolling out for the Moto G 4G GSM. If you’re a Moto G owner who may be looking to spice up your handset’s OS a bit, this is the perfect way to do it. And with the CM installer, it’s easier than ever before.

CyanogenMod has added the Motorola Moto G 4G to its list of supported devices with the latest crop of CyanogenMod 11 nightlies based on Android 4.4.4 KitKat. The ROM provides features like “Heads Up” notifications and the CM Theme Engine — plus other customization options that aren’t available from Motorola’s own Android software. One of the best things about buying a Motorola device is that the company’s default ROMs are pretty close to pure Android. Unlike Samsung, HTC, and LG, Motorola doesn’t pack its handsets with as many user interface tweaks and features as it can. But for those who would like a little more freedom and better customization, there’s now CyanogenMod. With CM11, you get the latest Android 4.4.4 software plus a whole bunch of terrific features on top — including the Trebuchet launcher, performance profiles, the ability to customize the Quick Settings panel, and lots, lots more. These are just some of the things that make CM one of the most popular custom ROMs available.
