No I didn't restore the back-up.... Also I noticed that the frame drops is only when I click the setting button present after swiping down the notification panel and there is a setting button on the bottom .. when I click on that the opening has hella frame drops .... Also there is some sluggishness in play Store I thought it will be better in PE ROM ..... Again in ui the app opening from home screen is buttery smooth but the thing i mentioned is so annoying.. in UI as well well clicking the toggles there sometimes some jitters .. all in all I'm depressed......... Even I can't find OTA update section... And the biggest problem VOLTE doesn't seem to work... Also in live wallpaper.... When I set a live wallpaper as lock and home both then when I go to lock screen and type the password the transition is smooth but this breaks when I am on lock screen and tap the finger print scanner
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
Ota update section is missing indeed. Volte works for me...but vowifi doesn't. But... we're using different carriers...

But i don't remember having any issues with that. But maybe I missed it.
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
Hey I am not so sure about what my build number was on my Stock Rom what to do ...... which version to download ? Is it different for different countries ?

can installing wrong build number brick the device ?
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
Yes, it is different. But Indian version should be this one.

They used to be named "RETIN" (from RETail-INdia) since Android 11. Starting with Android 12 they seem to be under RETAIL for some reason...

The only difference should be the carrier configuration. At least that's the theory. I could be wrong though.

I don't think it will brick the device. Worst thing it could do is not give you VoLTE and VoWIFI. And if anything, you could install Windows in a virtual machine, and do it from LMSA. That's not a problem. So I wouldn't worry about it too much.
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
tell me if those xml file you attached and the stop rom zip need to be in the same folder as adb and fast boot ?
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
The sh script needs to be in the same folder as the ROM. The way you set up adb & fastboot it shouldn't make a difference if they're in the same folder as the ROM or not. BUT, if you wanna be 100% sure it works, you can just copy the content of the platform-tools folder (the actual files) on top of the ROM, in the same folder.

You can try first without copying adb & fastboot files. If you get errors, you can add them to the folder and run the script again.

Word of advice: don't lock the bootloader yet! Just hold off for a while. Don't rush into flashing stock ROM and immediately locking the bootloader. Cause that could easily brick your device.

So, if you wanna do this, you can do it, but just don't lock the bootloader back. Just keep it unlocked.
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
In any case I'm not gonna lock the boot loader again don't worry .......... okay as you say I am going to wait for the October patch ....... But then I need to tell Raghu sir about this VOLTE issue and all other issues as well ..... WHY DOESN"T HE COME ONLINE ? WE NEED TO TELL ALL THESE FAST !!!

Also in one of the changelings he mentioned OTA update support has been added.... hmmmm this is weird

Network reception seems to be very bad as well.... Maybe it's my carrier but I just told what I observed but then on my galaxy as well my network was always low... Also tell me does pixel experience show any VOLTE symbol on the status bar or its just LTE ?
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
To be exact there seems to be serious frame drops when I click on settings button that's available at the bottom of the notification panel ..... I mean it's sooooo serious !!!! Also the toggles seem to be misbehaving sometimes as well ....... There is also lag and jitters here and there ..... October patch needs to fix all these ....You can see the lag of the thing I'm taking about and the frame drop in the attached video below ...
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
I don't know why he doesn't come online more often...

As for VoLTE, no, Pixels don't have a dedicated icon for VoLTE. It's just a receiver icon on the top left side of the screen during a call.
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
Is this video in slow-mo? It looks as if you're swiping very, very slowly.
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
Yeah yeah gotcha ....

VoLTE seems to be working ..... Okay so before telling all the bugs and problems I want to make sure I've done everything right ... So tell me if I want to reflash the ROM .... How should I do it ? Like i want to first do all those erase user data and all those then boot into TWRP install the ROM after that I will boot to recovery of pixel from there only ... I wanna know that when we wipe the whole thing and remove the stock ROM and when we just format it ? Like see,,,,, before flashing a rom what we have to do ? Remove previous ROM right ? But the recovery of Pixel experience Rom only has option to format and erase user data not remove the PE rom ... So how to reflash cuz I want no trace of my current PE Rom cuz it's buggy
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
Noop not in slow mo even if it is then it's better right ? You can see while opening settings from notification toggle how much frame drops are there
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
Usually, you just format user data. I actually don't know if you need anything else.

You don't need TWRP anymore. You can sideload directly from PE Recovery. You can do a factory reset from recovery, and sideload the ROM again. But I don't think that's gonna solve the bugs.
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
Oh is it ? Hmmmmmmm actually I heard someone say we do that for better stability and performance ... Sorry I said "bugs" actually I meant performance drops or frame drops .... Anyways... So if I factory reset from PE recovery and then side load but then the previous PE rom is still there and we are doing one again on it ... Wouldn't it brick the phone ? Cuz we didn't Remove previous rom
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
In my PE Recovery the option of "Format cache" & "Format system partition" are missing..☹️☹️ also I don't know if it's just me but the battery seems to be a little on the drainy side like the idle drain is superb but the drain while using... Especially. CHROME !!!!! When Internet is on or i don't know if this is in internet off as well but the battery drain seems obvious..... Like after every 5 minutes I guess I turn on the phone from wake and check battery.... The battery seems to be 1 % down .....
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
There is a reason why they're missing. They are not applicable for this phone. :P That's why I told you yesterday you don't need to do anything else. For as far as I know, this phone doesn't have a cache partition or system partition. Which is why you can't format them. It's using a different scheme. I'm not very sure how does that work, but, if you remember from yesterday, the script I gave you flashes to a "super" partition, instead of the old "system_a" & "system_b".

So....I think that's why there's also no option for that.

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure how to reflash the ROM in this case, other than just doing it... Or flashing stock first, then sideloading this. Never done it before.

Also, Chrome is known to take a lot of resources.
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
damn ........ the last line hit me hard
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
okay so I'm curious about something..... like I did sideload from adb on PE recovery okay ? Now,,,,, if I want to clear cache as well can I just boot into fastboot mode from the PE recovery then boot into TWRP and then clean cache ?.... is this possible and do you think it's safe ?
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
It's not a matter of safety. But you can't clear cache anymore.

Here's a video that might clarify things a little bit.
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
do you usually watch his videos ?
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
Yeah, he seems really nice, and I like the way he explains things.
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
Yeah I watch his videos as well......
[Moto G40 / G60] Raghu varma:
My apologies for not responding on time. Since i am bit busy with personal life.

Anyway Mr. @arsradu you deserve my respect towards the time you spare for replying to the above user. It's really hard to help each other in public platforms but yes thank you for your feedback and helping them.
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
You're welcome! Glad i could help.
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
Hi sir I dont know if you read my first message but I tagged you the first time for just asking you about bunch of stuffs before flashing the ROM as i am a newbie and I am from India as well..... But man @arsradu has helped me soooooo sooooo sooooo much...... He taught me so many stuffs I also want to pursue computer science now as i will be going to college soon and he taught me any stuffs ... we've kind of become friends "if he accepts this LOL haha" ....... And now i have already gathered many problems and issues i faced for you all...... I will also help you with the testing as I am a keen observer...... Please let me have some experience with skilled people like you I want to know this field ....... And recently I was reading your threads and I got to know about that incident that happened with you and brother I want to apologise on that man's behalf .... Please I want to pursue computer science as well and people don't understand how much patience and hardwork goes into all this so please forgive us all .......... You are a great man and even your friends like @arsradu..
[Moto G40 / G60] nullllfire:
Could the volume bar be changed?

The Moto G60 stock rom on Android 12 had it included and it was very useful.

The pixel plus rom has it included but pixel experience doesn't :/

I have been with the rom for a week and I love it, thank you very much for developing it for our devices. <⁠(⁠￣⁠︶⁠￣⁠)⁠↗

I just miss that volume bar. •́⁠ ⁠ ⁠‿⁠ ⁠,⁠•̀
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
Hi there thanks for stopping by here ... I'm glad you liked the rom cuz I also love it so much ... All thanks to Mr Raghu and also to "arsradu" to assist everyone with everything here......

So now as per your concern... Yes I also saw that Pixel plus rom has this but as I can see there is no Official Pixel experience for G60 and what Raghu sir did was to make it available to us but then this is still beta even there on the official one ....

but if you ask me logically if they had to add it they would have done it in beta already....... And I don't think there would be any way to do it although I'm not qualified or skilled enough to answer your questions but maybe and I mean "maybe" after rooting some magisk modules could do it ? Again I'm not sure 😊😊😊..... Please feel free to tell anything that you know we'll discuss together and maybe we can find a way ...
[Moto G40 / G60] Surenmof1:
That's was one hell of a conversation with that guy haha.
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 ...... I know ...... I'm kind of embarrassed but proud as well LOL
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
Any details about the upcoming 2nd build/ update/ October patch of this A13 PE ROM?
[Moto G40 / G60] LeoMiami:
BCR basic call recorder works on this phone, im using it, you need to flash it with twrp, is a zip, google it, is here
[Moto G40 / G60] Pixel<3:
1) Does Google Pay work on this rom if my phone isn't rooted?

Sorry if this question is already answered in the forum. (I heard Google Pay doesn't work on rooted phone and modified softwares)

I also heard that NFC contactless payments don't work on rooted/custom rom phones. I have a Moto G40 Fusion phone which doesn't have NFC, the question about NFC isn't relavent for me but I would be really grately if you could answer the question.
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
1) Does Google Pay work on this rom if my phone isn't rooted?

Hi there thanks for stopping by.... I had the same confusion before installing on my phone but thanks to all the people here I gained enough knowledge.....

Okay so as per your question I would like to explain few stuffs

Okay so as I researched there's something called SAFETY NET on mobile phone which basically tells if your mobile is encrypted and secure and all banking apps and contactless payment stuff depend on it.... so PIXEL EXPERIENCE ROM doesn't break SAFETY NET and as I installed this ROM I am able to use GPAY , PHONEPAY and everything else .... As for contactless payments you don't need to worry about all those as you don't have NFC..... So yeah there's that.....

All this if your phone is non rooted .... If it is rooted maybe it breaks everything but even then you can use MAGISK to hide your root and then use banking apps the way they are used to without any problem.......

So yes all banking apps will work on your phone after installing this ROM.....

NOTE : Not all Custom ROMS protects the SAFETY NET from breaking .... This PIXEL ROM doesn't break it but there are tons of ROM that breaks it . So always research before installing a rom .... HAVE FUN INSTALLING THIS ROM ..... Please drop a message if you face any problem at any step
[Moto G40 / G60] Pixel<3:
Thank you for your reply!
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
You're welcome sir...
[Moto G40 / G60] Stoyan0v:
everything is working just fine in this ROM? anyone facing any problem with banking apps even with passed safetynet? what about battery life?
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
Battery life depends on your usage (and the state of your battery). It won't make any miracles if your battery is already damaged. During my time testing this ROM, battery life was good. I didn't notice any difference compared to stock ROM. But again...the way I use my phone might be different. Network coverage can also impact battery life. Your screen brightness can also impact battery life. Social media apps, as well. Games, too.

So, as you can see, the answer is not as straight forward as it might seem. That's why, nobody can tell you how good or bad the battery life is. Cause it depends. What's good for me might not be good for you.

As for bugs, please, go through pages 6-8 where most of the bugs have been reported.

Banking apps work (in general). But of course, you'll have to test it for yourself, because it might depend from one banking app to another.
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
For me I already posted some weird bugs some pages back and as for the battery life it's weird for me ... Like the network or data connection seems to drain battery while using Facebook , WhatsApp and especially Chrome .... Banking apps work absolutely fine no issues at all...... Ironically the idle drain is too good like If I turn of the data connection the battery life is too good with daily tasks and calling as well ..... As for the weird bugs my Moto unit is facing weird frame drops and performance issue and sometimes small Lags here and there in the UI like while pulling down the notification toggle in Light mode ........ But this is a stable rom and can easily be daily driven ... Every works perfectly fine even VOLTE ....... GO FOR IT IF YOU WANNA TRY SOMETHING NEW .....
[Moto G40 / G60] vatsalc:
Can we get the link to the stable 12.1 Pixel Experience ROM for moto g60? Because as I can't find its link anymore on this thread
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
Yes, this thread has been repurposed for Android 13. Unfortunately I don't have a link for 12.1. I would also not recommend going back to that ROM, even if you do mange to find a link. Simply because the PE 13 is so much better. Not because it's 13, but because it's better. Less issues overall.
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
Yeah I agree with @arsradu ..... Please stick to the ROM that has been tried and is smooth cuz we don't know what issues lies in the version 12...... Cuz the frequent performance drops and all are too annoying for anyone so avoid it
[Moto G40 / G60] RODEN30:
from what I see there are very few ROMs for G60(hanoip), could it be lack of interest by developers? For now I see that @Raghu varma is putting his commitment and effort into G60, what are the bugs detected so far in pixel?
[Moto G40 / G60] LeoMiami:
1 week using this rom now, before was the other mayor one, the lineage 13, this one has no issues at all, battery usage is just a little bit more, no bugs at all. my phone is a work related tool, i have 2200 contacts in wapp and the phone is the car GPS and the call recording, photography and calendar tool for my job.
[Moto G40 / G60] LeoMiami:
main reason i went to bootloader unlock and custom rom is the new google policy not allowing to record calls, impeding my business quality control, my job is pure customer quality assurance, i need those calls recorded.
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
Page 6-8
[Moto G40 / G60] nullllfire:
Hello Raghu, the pixelexperience team already has a stable version of android 13 on some devices.

Will you update the Moto g60?

Android 13 Stable
[Moto G40 / G60] firudra:
In the latest build, clock on the status bar is too close to the border compared to battery percentage. Is there any workaround?
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
Yeah, it's been mentioned before. And nope, no workarounds as far as I know.
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
UPDATE : After using this ROM as a daily driver for quite a few days now can confirm battery life on this is on a drainy side not sure if this is gonna get fixed in stable version or next build. Performance drops intensely when battery is below 20% EVERYTHING LAGS LIKE CRAZY .... And there are random choppy animations and sudden transition to next screen without any flow .... The main concern being battery draining too fast..... And overall lack of smoothness in the UI

EDIT: All this is faced by me in my device.... I flashed the ROM couple of times still its as it is and the areas where i mentioned frame drops can be the areas where others are also having frame drops they're just not noticing it
[Moto G40 / G60] Anmshot:
Successfully installed this rom and (1) I am having an issue it is not accepting my sd card it says "there is an issue with sd.. and need to format" even the sd card is working properly on my other mobile phone and (2) also having some issues with network. Sometimes it is not recognizing the sim card and sometime having network issue. (3) Third issue i found usb is not recognized. (4) whenever i insert sim i need to restart my device. @Raghu varma @arsradu
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
@arsradu Bro I have a question... Just curious does erasing "system" also erase Fastboot mode and all ?
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
No, not that I know of. But it will likely make your phone unbootable.
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
ohhh okay thank you ... btw how r u doing these days? I am just waiting for the next build of our ROM or even the stable
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
Pretty well, thank you. :) I'm waiting for the next build too! I was wondering about that GSI ROM in the other thread. Don't wanna get off-topic. Was just wondering. :)
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
Tell me one thing the LMSA that you mentioned sometime back does it download the firmware in the storage of our PC ? Like do we have access to the stock rom file like I want to get the file but I wanna do it from fastboot mode . Is it possible ? or LMSA flashes firmware by itself only?
[Moto G40 / G60] Anmshot:
Well ROM is working really smoother and way faster than before. just wanna ask y my sd card is still shows corrupt and i am unable to share files between my moto g40 and windows through usb cable. Well this os is kindaa life saver for me bcs with stock rom my phone was really laggy and i was gonna buy new phone but it all solved just bcs of u sir. Hats off to your work. Just wanna know about above issues that am i the only one who is facing that issue or is this a bug.
[Moto G40 / G60] vatsalc:
It downloads the software to the PC itself and then flashes it automatically. But it didn't work for me, I have no idea why. So I had to flash it (the stock ROM) manually using somes guides easily available online
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
Ohh thank you so much for replying... So it means we have access to the ROM file right ? Furthermore does LMSA download STOCK ROM according to country and region and carrier as well ?
[Moto G40 / G60] AVI8152:
Can anyone record their screen in which they show swiping down the notification panel completeley and then click on the small settings button at the bottom there? I have to see the transition and animation there cuz in my device there is a lag while doing that ..... ((It would be nice if you do this after slowing down the animations))
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
Yes, you can extract the firmware after download. Yes, it's the right one for your phone and region, because you have to either let the software detect your phone automatically, or enter your IMEI to start the process. So yes, it will always be the right software for your phone.

By default, the files are stored under C:\ProgramData\RSA\Download. Screenshot below for more clarity.
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
What would be the point of slowing down the animations? When will you ever use that in real life?

I think you're paying way too much attention to this. And in the end, it might not even be the phone's fault. It might be Google's fault. For example, I noticed some glitches in transitions on a Pixel 6 running stock Android. Not in this specific section. But when I was going back to home screen. It was a frame stuck there for a fraction of a second. Enough to be noticeable. Not a big issue though.

Well, same exact glitch was there on my Moto G60's stock ROM. So...don't blame the phone for everything. It might not be the phone, at all. It's likely Google's code that's buggy.

Now, I'm not saying this is the case here. I didn't notice an issue with these particular steps, in this particular area, but it could be that I just didn't care too much for it. Or it wasn't very noticeable.
[Moto G40 / G60] Anmshot:
can anyone reply me please, my questions might be silly at some point bcs i m noob in this and have flashed custom rom for the first time.
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
SD card might need formatting. As for transferring files on Windows, what happens when you try to transfer? Is the phone set to file transfer mode? You get an error? We need more info.
[Moto G40 / G60] Anmshot:
I connected my phone with my laptop using data cable but it still shows nothing, like there is no option for file transfer.

and for sd card the sd card is working fine on other phones.
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
First option in the list: file transfer.

For sd card, make a backup, format (from the phone itself), test. See if it works.
[Moto G40 / G60] Anmshot:
Bro file transfer option is faded means there is no USB device attached. I wanna ask am I the only one who is facing this USB issue or is this in the ROM.
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
It's not the ROM. And yes, so far, you are the only one facing this USB issue. Do you have another USB cable laying around? Can you switch ports on your laptop?
[Moto G40 / G60] Anmshot:
Well I changed the port but it doesn't work. Btw I used the same cable and same port to flash the ROM.
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
Well that is interesting. Was the phone recognized in adb and fastboot mode? Driver installed?
[Moto G40 / G60] Anmshot:
[SOLVED #340] Before flashing this ROM, my phone was working fine with adb and was able to transfer files through data cable but now it just shows charger connected nothing more then that. Also I installed Moto adb drivers in my laptop.
[Moto G40 / G60] Anmshot:
Idk how but it starts working after turned usb debugging on and its working fine even after turning the usb debugging off.
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
How did you install the ROM?
[Moto G40 / G60] Anmshot:
I have installed ROM according to this link https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RaghuVarma331/scripts/master/Motorola-SM6150/Installation.txt
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
Alright. I don't remember having this issue with this ROM. But I'm curious if someone else does. I'm currently on stock ROM, so I can't test this. But maybe someone else can.

By the way, I've seen this issue before, when the USB cable wasn't the original one. Not with my phone, but on other phones, reported by other people. Not saying is the same issue here. But it can be caused by that too.
[Moto G40 / G60] Anmshot:
Well this issue is resolved by toggling usb debugging on and then off.
