CyanogenMod 13 Unofficial Moto G 3rd Generation

Requirements for installation
Like any version of CyanogenMod, we will download the pack of gapps we want to get the experience of all applications of Google Play. Heres the link, well just choose our architecture, in our case 64 bits, the Android 6.0 version and gapps pack you want.

Link gapps (we recommend the Micro pack)
Link Builds (choose the most updated)

Of course to complete these steps need root permissions and custom recovery as TWRP.

First steps
For installation of the ROM need to follow these steps:

  1. After downloading the .zip and gapps that flasheamos, we will save on the external microSD card because when you delete the internal memory wipe and making our data safely we pass to step 2.
  2. Well, now, through an application or activation buttons recovery, the smartphone will restart in recovery mode.
  3. Once inside the recovery, in our case, we recommend using TWRP, we will make a full wipe (if we repeat the process, the better).
  4. After the install option by zip, we choose our microSD card the downloaded ROM file. Installation and wait to pass to the next step.
  5. Now in the same section of the .zip find gapps we download and store on the microSD and install. (If you do not install the gapps Google Play we will not have to run our smartphone 100%).
  6. Once installed, access to the menu to reboot and restart the system.
After this installation in case we were in CyanogenMod version 12, we recommend not downgrade directly to version 12 back. Thus we would have to do a full Wipe, as these ROMs work best with a clean install.


Possible errors found in this ROM
The developer of this ROM in its first release warned the bugs that were found but with our updates errors that remain are:
  • Some functions do not work CyanogeMod official.
  • In landscape mode you may have some visual bug.
In the beginning there are still many more errors but it seems the developer has been stepping up and brings a new update every week fixing and bringing some functions that were lost.

LED Will we?
Marshmallow Android came with good news for the users of this device. This new version we return LED operation.
There are no news and this latest version does not yet work, but hopefully this developer joins LED testing this device and we bring its functionality for new updates.

Ready to test the functions of Android M
This is where your work begins. This ROM brings many new features, including the principal "Doze" that allows us to manage battery consumption with more precision in our smartphone. To enjoy!

In this case we leave that investiguéis this new ROM and its new features. In addition we will leave the link of official development thread of this ROM to observe their development.

Next week we will bring you the Official version of CyanogenMod 13 for LG G3, our favorite device.

A greeting!
