Are there any users who have tried this version? i wonder if its suitable to give this to my dad who’s currently still working on stock android 6.0 on his moto G2 titan, but it seems to me all the released version from cyanogenmod 14 and up haven’t received much updates after initial release (or i’m not finding the right version?) it seems i’m beng sent around the website with links referring to versions but i don’t see much information about the quality of the rom

any advice?
