Latest version of Cyanogen Mod a k a CM12 is now available for download courtesy of XDA. Of course to flash the cyanogenmod for Moto E 2015, you will need its custom recovery. We recommend TWRP for Moto E 2015 which is more user friendly.

Here is what is working out of box:

* GPU accelerated graphics
* Camera preview (but not picture taking)
* WiFi
* RIL
* QSEECOM keystore
* GPS
* Accelerometer (and auto-rotation)
* Adaptive brightness
* Audio
* Media codecs
* Camera

The only thing that can give you some problems is wifi which is a bit slow in detecting networks and then connecting to them. You can download it from here. To flash it onto your Moto E 2015, simply put it onto the micro SD card slot or internal storage. Boot into TWRP and flash it from there.

A new firmware has emerged on xda developers that allows Motorola Moto R users to download Lollipop android 5.1.1 update on their devices. This ROM is known as Flex OS and it boats amazingly utilities like flex control, animation control and myriad other tweaking apps to help you get the most of your device. Make sure you have Moto E custom recovery pre installed as only then you can install a custom firmware.

Here is its feature list:

* FlexControl – All the tweaks and features at one place
* Animation Control – Toast animations, Listview animations and system transitions.
* HeadsUp Customizations just like Cm11
* Slim DSLV
