Now You can Update Your Motorola’s Moto G4 smartphone to the latest official Android 7.1.1 LineageOS Nightly Nougat custom ROM. As this phone hasn’t yet been officially updated to Android 7.1.1, LineageOS 14.1 Nightly custom ROM serves as the best method to try this version of Android directly on your phone. With Lineage OS 14.1 Nighlty, you would be getting a similar CyanogenMod experience as this custom ROM is basically a re-branding of CM. The features it offers include a very close to stock UI, increased performance and more customizability.
