A custom ROM running on your third-generation Motorola Moto G smartphone represents an element of freedom that you do not get from anything else related to your smartphones or tablets. From the moment we turn on our devices, we are already at the mercy of our phone carrier networks with unwanted system apps taking away from our performance. You might not know it, but the system apps your phone carrier networks and manufacturers put on your device are not even wanted by the official Android developers. The fact is that your phone carrier network and manufacturers will go again Android’s wishes and add them anyway.
Android developers, for the most part, are wanting you to experience what they developed for you which has hardly what you end up seeing at all. The good news is that Motorola devices are one of the best devices for coming as clock to stock Android as possible.
One of the custom ROMs that chooses to stick close to stock Android too is the official CyanogenMod custom ROM.
