CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 5.0 ( Lollipop), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for
your device.
CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.


Working/Not Working:
Need you to tell me.

Thank you to AOSP, CyanogenMod, Motorola, and Alberto97
for their sources.

Can someone give me a crash course in rooting/unlocking and loading a rom on this phone.
I just ordered this phone and I'm coming from LG. We had to root the phone, bypass the locked bootloader with loki or bump and flash a custom recovery such as cwm or twrp. Then flash the rom

Thanks everyone :)

Edit:
Never mind, found it.
