The "N" is for Nougat
some words of wisdom:

1- This is an Android 7.1 Nougat-based release - update your third party addons to ensure compatibility
2- The CM backupscript.sh in recovery will ignore and remove incompatible applications from your system partition (these are usually non-CM apps that users have opted to install). You must install a compatible app (or app pack) to regain that functionality
3- You can flash CM14.1 nightlies directly from CM13 snapshot or CM 13 nightlies (no need to wipe, BUT for optimum results, better follow Clean Update procedure explain below.), provided you read and followed items 1 and 2
ALLERT:
4- Once one CM14 nightlies, you cannot downgrade back to CM13 – if you are thinking of just exploring the release, then take a backup of your existing installation if you want to go back to it.
5- You’ll need an N compatible recovery, i.e. TWRP 3.0.2-1
Happy Flashing,

Download & Install

LINKs:
All Downloads
Nightly Changelog
OpenGapps choose ARM>7.1>micro/nano/pico (micro might still be too big... unless you use the custom install options that allows you not to install everything from the package)
Either way, you might want to further customize your installation (both gapps and system apps), refer to this tutorial
REMEMBER:
ONLY use TWRP 3.0.2-1 or up

/!\ Before installing, read post #3. /!\
​

HOW TO INSTALL
Requirements: Unlocked Bootloader, a Nougat compatible Custom Recovery and the Downloaded Zips.
NB: Since 20161118, with a Lollipop compatible recovery like TWRP 3.0.2-0, you will get stuck to recovery, It is MANDATORY to update to 3.0.2-1.; the following error is still present : E:unknown command [log] but will not prevent install.

1. Place the rom and other like Gapps on the internal Storage or on a USB OTG
2. Reboot to recovery using the hotkey ( PowerOff+Vol- => With Vol- Go to Recovery => Select the recovery option with Vol+ )
3. Do Wipes (Data, Cache, Dalvik and System partitions) if you are in a different ROM.
4. Select the Zips
5. Swipe to install (if using TWRP)
6. Reboot and wait 2-3 min

-Not confirmed for CM14 as of 20161109- Pro-TIP : To avoid GPS locking issue, refer to #Q7 of the CM12 dedicated FAQ

HOW TO DIRTY UPDATE

1. Download the rom zip using CM Updater or third party apps like CM downloader, CyanDelta...
2. Press update.
3. Wait 2-3 min

HOW TO CLEAN UPDATE : this kind of update helps to avoid any update related issues, you can follow this when coming from CM13 and want to keep you personal data.

1. ProTip : Read the Changelog and disable features that have been updated between your build and the latest build (this is important when Theme features are updated and it could break things)
2. Download the rom zip on the CM Website or using CM Updater or third party apps like CM downloader, CyanDelta... make sure you have gapps zip on your device
3. Reboot to recovery using the power menu or the hotkey ( PowerOff+Vol- => With Vol- Go to Recovery => Select the recovery option with Vol+ )
4. Format /system, /cache and /dalvik-cache (advance format in wipe menu of TWRP); do NOT Wipe DATA!
5. Select the Zips
6. Swipe to install
7. Reboot and wait 2-3 min

Notes, Bugs, and miscellaneous.

Tips and notes:

When choosing a Gapps package ensure it can fit into /system when flashed.
Nano gapps package is recommended as it fits and provides everything in a base package you will need for gapps support. Then, you can install the other google apps from the store later on if needed.

Remember nightly builds are experimental: they can and will be broken from time to time. Always have a backup at hand.

To transfer files from/to PC when plugged in you will get the charging mode prompt status in the status bar, then click it to change from charging mode to transfer files.

Considering the quite low amount of Falcon users left over here, I'm not sure about making a full-sized FAQ;
For now, the following will take that purpose:

[SIZE=+1]Q1: Where are themes/tiles/whatever gone?[/SIZE]

CM14.1 I still at early stage of public development, you should expect to face bugs, missing features, regressions, and other things closely related to WIP. Do not complain about it (even less if someone already discussed it in the thread)​

[SIZE=+1]Q2: How to get root?[/SIZE]

1. Enable Dev settings (multiple tap on "Build Number" in /settings/about phone/)
2. Go to Dev settings
3. Root access : Change to Apps and ADB

[SIZE=+1]Q3: Where is the Terminal?[/SIZE]

It is now disabled by default, simple enable it in Dev Settings by toggling "Local Terminal"​

[SIZE=+1]Q4: What's that # at the to right corner of my screen sometimes?[/SIZE]

This icon warns you that an app or service is currently using its granted root access, maybe your file manager or some automated actions like Greenify auto hibernate is running (in the background?)​

[SIZE=+1]Q5: Why does swipe to write feature doesn't work although it is enabled? [/SIZE]

There is a fix for that "known" issue: see here.

i will try it and will post the results.

Just downloaded the ROM and Pico GApps.

I'm running CM14.1 unofficial before. I'll do the Clean Install anyway.

 

[cooldude5500]

Lovely, thanks. Unfortunately the ROM does not seem to pick up my SIM card. Using XT1033. I'll be waiting for a later build.
Edit: Pressing on "Skip" when I am being asked for my Google Account sends me back to the "Use Mobile Data" screen.
Edit 2: I can receive calls and messages, but can't send a message or call someone myself.

 

[legendavey]

Dual sim works, internet (I use 2G) works and none of the bugs* of the unofficial version.

Don't do a dirty update or a clean update mentioned in the OP.

Just do a clean flash - wipe everything, including data. Worth the extra effort.

*Edit: except the occasional extra swipe up on the lock screen. I've heard abyss kernel fixes this, but I like the stock kernel so not flashing it myself. :angel:

Does the home button long press show recents instead of assistant like with the unofficial 14.1?

as of CM14.1-20161109
I performed the "clean update" I had wrote before, (before it I reverted to stock theme.)
Install script complained about not being able to "log" the install which is expected as TWRP 3.0 wasn't supposed to support 7.1 logging feature on install.

E:unknown command [log]

Micro gapps was too big, so I used nano instead.

First boot attempt never went to home; a force reboot made it work.
First full boot was awfully laggy and many apps forced close after the mini setup-wizard (as I didn't wiped data, the wizard only asked for language and wifi), I let it set a few minutes and then reboot it.

Now the UI is really fluid and works perfectly
Some tiles in the quick access menu are missing (you can't add them I mean, or I didn't see them)

I will update in next posts if I encounter interesting things in the next few days.

same,sim card not getting detected
edit:reflashed it and both sims are getting detected

 

[cricket4all]

Can we disable second sim if we want in this latest nightly of 14.1.

Because I need sim disable feature.

 

[Hiraethic]

Does the home button long press show recents instead of assistant like with the unofficial 14.1?

yes

 

[legendavey]

Yes, this was fixed a while ago and it is working in this build, head to Settings > Buttons > Configure your home button action(s).

This is build is very stable and the multitasking is unbelievable. Totally worth it!

 

[karthikkh20]

yes

You can change that in buttons option

We really appreciate the work you do (in your free time) for our beloved Moto G. I know you guys worked really hard for this to happen, I've been checking the CyanogenMod Gerrit for a while now.

P.S.: I was in no way trying to dissuade anyone from using the dirty update or clean update methods. In my experience, a clean flash is always the most stable in the long run.

battery icon options circle and landscape mode doesnt work.
Newer builds will hopefully be free of these

the reason why my sims were not gettting detected was i flashed supersu 2.78.

SuperSU over CyanogenMOD should have caused a bootlop, you were lucky.

 

[kamesh_kraken]

running 20161109.
* Dual SIM works fine
*Music app is not opening. Showing me that the app is stopped (Is it just me?)
Long press Home button brings Google Assistant after configuring with Buttons settings. (I tweaked build.prop for bringing up Google Assistant)
Battery percentage is showing only on Icon Portrait. None of other icons are working.
It's been 7 hours since I flashed it. The SoT is not that bad.

May be I'll flash abyss kernel later to check if the battery life will be improved and the swipe is definitely working very well on abyss kernel.
