Moto G 1st gen XT1032 to Android 8 or 7

[AgnesvonWalachei]

Hey, I've got a Moto G 1st Gen 8GB (no idea what the XT number is) with Android 7.1 via AospExtended-v4.4-OFFICIAL - bought it like this. Now I've got another Moto G 1st Gen, this time 16 GB XT1032, which runs Android 5.1 and I would like to somehow get the newest version of Android possible on this one. At least the same AospExtended version as it's on my first Moto G. Would you guys be willing to give me instructions for dummies for that? That'd be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance.

well there is some remarkable progress in the few android 8 ROm development. however it is still under development and not all areas are as stable as most of the already stable android 7 ROMs. so if you dont mind frequently patching bugs, then go for android 8 ROMs. if you want stable install and forget worrying ROM then choose a android 7 nougat ROM.

the way to install custom ROM is as follows;
1) you need motorola drivers downloaded.
2) fastboot/adb platform tools downloaded
3) unlock bootloader, by following instructions in motorola site
4) install latest TWRP custom recovery
5) flash ROM of your choice

detailed steps are quiet difficult to ensemble, but you get all the info you need under general forum; https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general
