Thanks for sharing it.

It needs root access ig, don't wanna go that far for those features. I'll just wait for Raghu to get those features in his newer builds

I use banking apps and don't wanna risk my phone at rooting it.
[Moto G40 / G60] Pixel<3:
I would like to know why you use G60 (I assume you use the custom rom on it) when you already have a pixel device. Also iPhone 12 is nice. Why still hold on to G60?
[Moto G40 / G60] Pixel<3:
Happy New Year!

(Ik i'm late)
[Moto G40 / G60] Pixel<3:
Also Can anyone suggest a good Google Camera for G40/G60?
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
I've used GCam successfully. You can take a look here.
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
Ahhh it's okay..... Happy new year to you too !! 😊
[Moto G40 / G60] Pixel<3:
Wow! That GCam works great! That Upscaling MP is cool!

My first impressions seems great! Thank you!
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
Anyone having network issues in their phone ? Today i don't know from morning my network keeps going down like i thought it may be my network but other phones with same carrier are working fine .. tried restarting several times still it's happening...
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
SIM card working? Can you try a different SIM of the same carrier?
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
yes sim card is working.......
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
are the other persons on the same network in the same area?
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
Yeah
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
You can try "reset network settings", but if that started happening all of a sudden, I don't think it's the ROM. It still sounds like a carrier issue to me. If you have the opportunity, I'd test other SIM cards in the same phone, in the same area, just to be sure it's not the SIM. If it is the SIM, a replacement should fix it.
[Moto G40 / G60] Pixel<3:
Yep, that happens on my phone too.

I mostly use Wi-Fi for internet. I randomly get low cell range. When I turn ON Mobile Data the cell range suddenly increases.

So things just work out for me.
[Moto G40 / G60] Pixel<3:
Anyways Android Auto doesn't work on this rom if anyone was curious to know.

I just tried it (I was just curious), after connecting my phone to the infotainment system in my car Android Auto app opens up but doesn't detect the car same goes for the infotainment system.

I feel Raghu forgot to mention that the new build supports Face Unlock now, which was missing in the previous build.
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
That's a known issue, even from the previous builds. I feel that it might be related to the base ROM used for this, as well...
[Moto G40 / G60] Pixel<3:
I have noticed that on this rom the cell signal range is low/bad (when mobile data is off), will it affect the battery life? Will the Battery drain more while it's on idle?

I heard when you have low/bad cell range your phone consumes more battery to connect to nearby cell towers.
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
That is correct.

I still don't understand why it should be less when mobile data is off...but yeah, less signal usually means the phone is struggling to hold onto it, or switch between frequencies, which in return, means less battery life.
[Moto G40 / G60] Pixel<3:
Does the lineage OS (Android 13) has a better battery life compared to Pixel Experience?
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
I haven't tried it. As you probably remember, I'm not using any custom ROMs at the moment. But...depending on the cause of the issue, it might or might not be the same.

Only one way to find out though. :)
[Moto G40 / G60] Pixel<3:
I feel the network operator changes when you switch the mobile data (On or Off) so thus the change in cell range. I might be wrong but it's just what I feel.

EDIT:

But WiFi calling is soo much better I honestly missed it in the Beta build!
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
Uhm...I'm not sure that's even possible. :) Unless you're in roaming, you can't switch between carriers without switching SIM cards or eSIM profiles (for eSIM enabled phones). It should be pretty easy to confirm. You should have the carrier name on the base of the screen when notification drawer is pulled down, or on the lock screen.
[Moto G40 / G60] Pintoslp:
Where can I find the twrp.zip?
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
where it says "download twrp"?
[Moto G40 / G60] rowhen_:
hey, i tried your method, still facing the same issue. also when i factory reset from the device settings it restarts and launches twrp, is that what happend with you as well ?
[Moto G40 / G60] ek_vill_n:
Hey, you have to format from twrp (tha problem of unable to unmount data will be solved) and then flash the file and reboot
[Moto G40 / G60] rowhen_:
just format data right? i did that but still no avail
[Moto G40 / G60] ek_vill_n:
If u can... Send screenshot of problem
[Moto G40 / G60] rowhen_:
yep
[Moto G40 / G60] rowhen_:
the error says :-

Devices on super may not mount until rebooting recovery.

To flash addtional zips, please reboot recovery to switch to updated slot.

error installing zip file "rom name" etc...
[Moto G40 / G60] ek_vill_n:
Haan to u have too click on reboot then recovery .. Twrp UI will occur then format data.. Now u can install file From sd card or OtG....
[Moto G40 / G60] rowhen_:
should i change the boot slot to A as well?

it says failed to switch bootloader slot
[Moto G40 / G60] ek_vill_n:
In my case when i installed pixel and lineage through twrp i follow these steps

TWRP 👉 format data 👉 inatall rom.zip 👉 reboot 👉 system...

The file automatically selected the slot A/B
[Moto G40 / G60] ek_vill_n:
Sometime it say inactive slot : A

Nd sometime inactive slot : B
[Moto G40 / G60] rowhen_:
mine says inactive slot A, then the installation of the rom fails and gives the same error :-

Devices on super may not mount until rebooting recovery.

To flash addtional zips, please reboot recovery to switch to updated slot.

error installing zip file "rom name" etc...

when i try to switch slots it says unable to switch slots
[Moto G40 / G60] ek_vill_n:
This type of error i faced

Then i 👉 reboot 👉 system...

And i was shocked the rom was installed after this error...
[Moto G40 / G60] ek_vill_n:
But during pixel rom i didn't face this type of error....

Only during lineage i faced...
[Moto G40 / G60] rowhen_:
yep this is the exact error i have

when i reboot i get the moto rom again
[Moto G40 / G60] ek_vill_n:
Which rom u flashing ???? Nd Version of ur moto stock rom????
[Moto G40 / G60] rowhen_:
pixel experience, stock rom version is android 12
[Moto G40 / G60] ek_vill_n:
If u flashing

In twrp after format flash Orange fox recovery.zip file

Orange fox UI will come

Again format and then install rom amd reboot... System...

Try this...
[Moto G40 / G60] rowhen_:
yo it seems to working now, thank you so much for your time :-D
[Moto G40 / G60] ek_vill_n:
Ohh that's great..

Did rom successfully finished.??
[Moto G40 / G60] rowhen_:
yeah its working fine. How is the battery charging speed of the phone ? is it the same as before?
[Moto G40 / G60] Pintoslp:
There have twrp.img only.
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
You don't need to flash TWRP. And, personally, I wouldn't recommend it either. PE ROM comes with its own recovery. So you don't really need a TWRP.zip.

However, if you want to install TWRP as a permanent recovery, you have an option within itself (should be under Advanced > Install Recovery Ramdisk).
[Moto G40 / G60] zeus0072:
Hey can you please give me a step by step process or a YouTube video link where I can understand how to install this rom, the steps given of Raghu Verma are not in explained form so I'm not able to understand please help, this stock rom has become **** and very laggy tbh I just need a smooth experience
[Moto G40 / G60] zeus0072:
OMG I'm really thankful for this 😍, can you please provide me a link on how to unlock the bootloader?, I have an sd card so thanks and also can you please tell me if this rom is butter smooth and doesn't cause 120 hz stutter on 3rd party apps ??
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
I'm not using the ROM anymore. So....other users might be able to offer a better idea of the ROM's current performance.

Display refresh rate should NOT be tested with 3rd party apps, such as social media, games, etc. Because, server response and internet connection can affect that. You will blame it on the display, when it's not the display's problem to begin with. So, if you want to test that, use the built-in Contacts app, or the app drawer. Or another OFFLINE app. Personally, I wouldn't bother too much about it. But I know some of you folks really like that FPS. :)

Instructions on how to unlock the bootloader are also not included within this tutorial, because they don't make the point of installing the ROM.

However, the main tutorial can be found here. IGNORE downloading the SDK and drivers.

All you need is adb and fastboot (platform-tools from my previous post). Aside from that, you can use the instructions on that page. Also, use a GMAIL address for your Motorola account. Looks like there are some issues receiving the unlock key on other email providers.

Also, please, note that not all bootloaders are unlockable.
[Moto G40 / G60] Pixel<3:
Is the installation steps remain the same when you upgrade your rom build?

By Upgrade I mean going from the previous BETA PE rom to the newer stable PE rom that was recently released by Raghu
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
i think a simple flash of the new rom should be enough. i could be wrong though. I'm not using this rom anymore.
[Moto G40 / G60] sharunyhtgg:
Can you suggest me a bugless custom rom? Any android 11,12 or 13... But I need the rom to be bugless! Including double tap to wake...
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
Yeah, stock ROM. And even that one isn't bug free.

There is no such thing as bug-free software. It's only a matter of: is it gonna be bothering you or not? Can you live with it? There is no perfect software.
[Moto G40 / G60] sharunyhtgg:
Atleast minimum bugs ?
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
I haven't tested them. Since you posted here, you can try the PixelExperience ROM.
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
How's it going folks...🫡🫡
[Moto G40 / G60] LeoMiami:
new december upload was dirty flashed on my g60 and is my daily driver for work, 0 issues at all, agenda is uses daily, contacts has 2400 inputs and wapp and maps are 30% each of battery use to navigate ans communicate with clients. even BCR work like the best call recording pay app off the store and has no issues recording calls for future quality testing off the client satisfaction and problem solving. this phone will work for years like this and is the best rom 9 to 8 vs lineage 20

• Google security patch 2023-01

Reminder - for reporting bugs please mention the issue and attach the logcat.

Thank you!
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
Well that's more like it. :D

@Raghu varma I know I'm probably asking a lot, but would you be kind enough to build a PE ROM based on RETEU G60 stock ROM? I'd love to use PE as my daily driver. But there are a couple of things I really miss. And I think they might be fixed by using another base ROM for this.

If this is too much, then don't worry about it. :) To be honest, I tried to do it myself, just so I don't have to bother anyone else with this. But I just don't know how to do it anymore. It would've been easier if the device sources would already be in the PE Team's sources. But they're not. And I perfectly understand your reasons for not bringing this device to "official" state. And of course, people don't really care if it's official or not, as long as it works well.

So I'm not sure how to get all those things (and where from) to be able to successfully build PE for my device, based on my RETEU stock ROM, so that's the closest it could be from a real Pixel ROM (but with IMS services and contactless payments).

So, if you'd like to experiment with that, I'd be happy to use something like this as my daily driver. If you think it's too much, or it would take too much time and effort on your side, then don't worry about it. :) I'm super grateful for your effort as it is.
[Moto G40 / G60] Raghu varma:
Before i proceed i would like to ask what is the difference in between RETIN & RETEU?

So that i will try to import them to my sources directly.
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
Well, what I'm hoping to notice are a couple of things:

1. better/stock-like network coverage (because now it's using the dedicated configuration for RETEU)

2. working contactless payments (with the RETIN version, they don't work). I'm not sure if they don't work, cause the base ROM is for RETIN, or because the base ROM is for G40F instead of G60... But they don't work. And that seems to be the case with all ROMs based on that same source.

3. working IMS (VoLTE & VoWIFI).

Everything else stays the same, cause it's probably the same source anyway.

So, aside from better network coverage (cause it's using dedicated configuration for European carriers), contactless payments, I'm not sure what else could be different...

Anyway, as I said, this is probably a lot to ask, and I apologise for it, so, if you're feeling adventurous, this would probably be a very interesting journey, if not, then just don't worry about it. I know this is not just a walk in the park. I know there's a lot of work and time that goes into making these ROMs. So, once again, thank you. I'm super grateful for your effort to bringing Android 13, even in more than one "flavour", to this phone. :) Huge respect for that.
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
Thank you so much sir..😊😊 will definitely update now and attach the logcat if found any bugs

Aye aye captain 🫡🫡🫡
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
Should I clean install this new update build or.....?
[Moto G40 / G60] Raghu varma:
I will try to check.

To be honest i own moto g60 and here for g40F & G60 has no dedicated firmware. So ultimately we don't need to worry about which stock rom as base. Let's say i can directly flash moto g60 stock rom on g40f.

Ah this is working on my phone from day 1. Not only mine but almost everyone.

For more information regarding volte/vowifi follow the below steps

1. Open dialer

2. Type *#*#4636#*#*

3. Select phone information

4. Select 3 dots at top right corner

5. Select ims service status

It will give you the exact information about your network including volte/vowifi status.

If you enable Volte & WiFi calling in settings then automatically volte status will be disabled in ims service status. If you disable wifi calling and enable volte in settings then wifi calling status will be disabled in ims service status.

Thank you!
[Moto G40 / G60] rowhen_:
Hey, I dont know if the bug is fixed, but when you unlock the phone through fingerprint and the ripple effect shows up, the phone starts stuttering briefy then goes back to normal. This was as an issue in the previous builds
[Moto G40 / G60] Raghu varma:
May be refresh rate issue or ghost touch
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
I am sorry to say it's a problem with our device.. not the ROM .. we've been discussing about this issue for a long time.. looks like nothing can be done
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
I think, with the first build, VoWiFi (WiFi Calling) wasn't working. I haven't tested the newer builds, but people said it's working now. So...that might be already ok. :) VoLTE was working with the first build anyway.

As for the contactless payments, I don't know what exactly makes it work (or not work, in this case)... I just assumed that it might be becasue of the base ROM. Point is...it doesn't work (can't add a credit/debit card to Wallet). I already mentioned the error I get in one of the previous pages. I can look it up if you want. :)

So...I don't know what it is. I don't know if it's the fact that you're using RETIN base ROM or not. But...I think someone mentioned that contactless payments don't work in India, so I assumed that, if we change the base ROM, with something for EU (which would also be my original ROM), then maybe contactless payments would work, as well. If that's not the case, then I don't know anymore. But I would still like to try the dedicated one for EU, if that's possible, in case that makes a difference.

The INFO menu already shows working IMS, with stock ROM. So, the carrier supports it and the stock ROM has everything implemented to support that on a software level.

I was thinking, if we're using RETEU base ROM for this, then network signal should be just as good as stock ROM (cause we're using the RETEU stock ROM, so...that should give us the best chance of everything working), IMS services should automatically work as well, for the same reason, so...the only challenge left would be getting contactless payments to work. Which is still a dilema for me... I still don't understand why it just doesn't work with this ROM. C

ould be that Google is trying to match the card with the ROM, in some way... And it shows an error if it can't. So, for example, you can't add a card from a European bank, to a ROM made for another region. It's just an example, and just an idea. I could be wrong, but I guess we won't know until we try. :))
[Moto G40 / G60] rowhen_:
yeah but this bug doesnt exist in other roms like LOS or other gsis, only in PE.

It's fine though, not a major issue
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
Really !!! Not in other Roms ? Have u tried them ? If yes then i wanna experience it too
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
trying the reteu based rom might also help fix that issue. but... from everything we know, it looks hardware.
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
Yeah ... I don't think I'll invest much of my energy and time on this now ... If Raghu Varma decides to do anything then for sure I'll update but i don't think I'll do anything by myself now... Will you?
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
I don't think it's gonna fix it... But again, there's only one way to find out. :))
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
Anyone installed the new build update? How's it going? Is the performance smoothness improved or are there any problems? Kindly share info
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
i think everyone's waiting for everyone else to install it before they do. :)) So....I think your best bet would be to just do it.
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
then i am the sheep to sacrifice ..hahahaha
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
Still no SYSTEM UPDATER in this ROM 😭😭
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
oh my god i am so afraid right now.... the ROM is sooo smooth overall if i ignore some stuffs.. and i am so afraid to update------ is there a possibility where we can get the download link of the build before this latest one ? I mean the one which was 20221224 .. if possible then it will be easy for use to move back to it if this latest one creates a problem
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
Hello!

Here you go (build 20221224).

Also, you can get all the PE builds released so far here.
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
Thank you ☺️☺️
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
Okay I installed the ROM..... So right off the back the first thing i can notice is that the animations overall have become a little *stiff* as when when i went to recent tab on previous build then after clearing all tabs the animations was bouncy and smooth but now its just very rigid and stiff (not a big deal) ---- another thing is DYNAMIC THEME is way more intense !!!! Like the apps screen pages have become the colour of the theme and its kind of irritating---- Again this comes from PE ROM and GOOGLE directly so we can't do much
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
UPDATE: Thank you @arsradu for giving the link to previous builds..... After using the new build for 3 hours I am going back to the previous build...
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
You're welcome. So the issues with this new build are a deal breaker for you then?
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
yup..... its annoying as hell...... also one more thing happened as i installed the new build and then moved back to the previous one i dont know how or why i am facing some stutters and animation instability on this previous build as well...... But i'll just give it a day or two and at the end of the day UNTILL NOW THE BUILD WHICH WAS RELEASED IN DECEMBER IS THE MOST STABLE AND SMOOTH FOR ME.... i think from now one I'll not update to a newer build.... lol these days anything is happening in android world --- after updating even devices are bricking
[Moto G40 / G60] LeoMiami:
This time i did a clean install of the new build, everything is fast and stable, no bugs, NFC work fine. G60 work horse is happy
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
Could you please, share your installation/upgrade steps, in case it might help other people?
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
happens to me quite a lot whenever i clean install the first time its not good but after few more clean install idk how but it settles
[Moto G40 / G60] thefatmousce:
are OTA updates possible?
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:

is the android system intelligence, it learn the use and batt consumption and make tiny changes to make the phone faster, i noted less bat draining in 5 to 10 days use.
[Moto G40 / G60] amitzeo007:
@Raghu varma Please fix external sd card detection, if possible. It is showing tap to fix everytime within the rom. Your latest lineage os 20 has this same issue. Apart from this everything works fine. Banking apps work fine with or without magisk. Thank you so much for this amazing rom.
[Moto G40 / G60] @Kant:
Hi @Raghu varma

I appreciate all your efforts your build is awesome

But i would like point out some problems I am using your this rom since it was on Android 13 beta don't know why but I feel like those builds were more stable. In this build there are some major issues like heating issue i don't even play games on it but it gets heat and so drain battery very fast next problem is that for initial days this rom was very fluid but after 3-3 days it is very lagging app opening closing all looks very strange doesn't looks the same rom .

If you see these reports please fix it and if it is due to adding any additional features please remove them all we want is just your previous Buttery smooth ui

Waiting for any release as such

Don't get offended by my Any words
[Moto G40 / G60] Trellxd:
can i dirty flash the newer updates on old pe builds ?
[Moto G40 / G60] LeoMiami:
i do not recommend on this last one, i try it and get this "errors" and "lag" everyone is reporting, so i did a clean install and all ok
