Motorola Moto G 2014 is the best seller in India last year because of its form factor and great specs but the main reason of this phone become a best seller is its price. Moto G 2014 has the best specs at an affordable price with a good form factor which makes it look good and feels good in hand. Moto G 2014 have a 5 inch HD AMOLED display with good pixel density, 8 MP shooter camera with LED flash light with a 2 MP selfie camera (camera quality is not so good), at heart this phone have a 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor with 1 GB of RAM and this whole hardware is powered by a Lithium-Ion 2070 mAh batter.
As this device is from Motorola which was a Google company so it is sure that Moto G 2014 will get all the latest updates from Google as it is a small performance update or a big version changing update, this phone will get it first will all the Nexus devices.

There are some pints you should have in your mind for preparing your device for installation of any custom ROM:
- Your device’s bootloader should be unlocked.
