Is this stable yet?? Im just rooted on stock right now but damn I'm not looking to get into a whole bunch of problems flashing this right now if it's not ready to roll smoothly.... Any inputs please would be appreciated!
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] mxz55:
It's stable, and lots of ppl are using it as daily driver. The only real doubt, SMS issues, was resolved again in latest build.

I have a question, is this lineage os build really degoogled? I ask because i use aurora store on it, and in the updates section show an update for google play services. Does this rom use google play services?
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] mxz55:
De-Googling is a process that the user has to understand & walk through (and carefully avoid installing Google packages later on), it's not a pledge by the ROM. Guides, as well as experiences from others that did it with LOS on this device, can be found if you look for it (if i recall correctly, it was mainly experiences from @Drasner, he may be able to advise you).

As far i know, LineageOS doesn't ship Google packages nor GMS, that's reserved for the GApps (MindTheGApps) step in the flashing instructions, if you were to want Google services to ever work. Anyways, it's not like Marc added any packages to this device that aren't found in LineageOS, what you're getting here is the vanilla LineageOS experience.

You can answer your own question by looking if any Google packages exist on your device, if that's the case, i think you forgot to skip the GApps step during installation?

Does the internal eSIM work? (with US T-Mobile)

Does this work with the non-Plus? (256GB flash)

Well maybe none of this matters as OEM unlocking is grayed-out in Developer Options no matter what I do, even with Wifi internet and a SIM card in. US phone, just bought directly from Motorola. Maybe it's too good for me.

Why did you post this?
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] ThE_MarD:
@Quantumstate Edge 2023 is a very different device than Edge+ 2023.

This build is meant for Edge+ 2023 / Edge 40 Pro / X40 (rtwo)

Edge 2023 / Edge 40 (Lyriq) is the one you would be looking for. I'm unsure tbh if anyone is developing custom ROMs for it. It has a MediaTek SoC which is usually harder to work on since MediaTek doesn't care at all for the Open Source community. Qualcomm is really good since the have CodeLinaro (CLO) which is their open source repository
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] Quantumstate:
My gosh. Thank you for this.

MediaTek is out, back it goes.
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] ThE_MarD:
@Quantumstate you're welcome! The Motorola Edge 30 (dubai) has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G+ and official LineageOS builds (and a bunch of other devices too). I maintain that as well, so that's another option. Otherwise, there are a few devices out there in the wild with Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 which is supposed to have great performance, but unfortunately, Motorola doesn't seem to have any right now...
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] Drasner:
@clubwagon I am running this ROM on a Moto X40 without Gapps (I skipped that step of the install instructions). I also have Aurora shop installed in the work profile using Shelter and it is not offering me to update any Goolag software.

Not sure if I can be of more assistance but feel free to ask.
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] Quantumstate:
Moto has a trade-in program which takes $140 off the cost for sending in your old phone. This may make the Plus worth it to me.

Does the internal eSIM work with US T-Mobile? They are telling me it is incompatible with their network, but some kind of special approval may make it work.
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] clubwagon:
Hi. Thanks for answer. Yes i did skip installing google apps, thats why i was surprised the google play thing was there in the updates section. Now suddenly the google play serv offering update dissapeir but ihave this screenshot from other app from google that want update
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] Soketto:
If you have microg installed with spoofing it reports itself as a google package (as the point of it is to appear google play services for those apps that need it). In this case you need to the aurora store blacklist.

I think the Sim Manager shown in your photo is unrelated though, I have a package com.google.android.euicc I guess its required for esim
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] stljujic:
Any news about becoming official build? Thanks.
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] mxz55:
If that's how they can force a Google app on ungoogled users, it may be worth for someone to reverse engineer it (com.google.android.euicc, "SIM Manager") to make sure of its behavior and the data it transmits. Even if that means only a specific version will be known as safe for users.

Good evening. Thank you for your work. Is it possible to add face unlocking? Is there any hope that it will work NFC?
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] mxz55:
NFC is working perfectly fine, maybe you read something outdated

About face unlock, read the top post in

https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/102g01k
- for Motorola the same applies, it's only possible in an unsafe way, without a proper implementation.. LineageOS isn't known to offer unsafe features (which is why it's not there)

If you care about unlock speed, just use fingerprint scanner.. it's also not the safest but at least much more so than face
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] clubwagon:
What is the safest ?
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] mxz55:
obviously, things that rely on memory are more secure than what someone can forge: photo of your face, capture of your thumb, or them having physical control over you and forcing your finger or face to the scanner, etc. Not to speak of face unlock being flaky, that it's known to unlock at non-matches, like that Reddit post i linked says.

What's secure: PIN code or pattern, a more complicated pattern within a big grid like 6x6 is pretty secure, but may not beat a password. The most secure is a password with enough complexity and special characters, LineageOS offers plain password unlock feature.

Even though this is your answer about various security levels you can achieve in a phone, most users prefer ease of use & unlocking in under a second; fingerprint is most popular for a reason, it's a good middle ground
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] Quantumstate:
I use fingerprint and a pattern.

Almost all patterns ppl choose start in the upper-left, so don't do that. Also it's hard to unlock a pattern of more than 4x4 while driving. 4x4 is plenty.

The next update is being prepared, to include backporting all LOS 21-targeted, but compatible, kernel updates from https://github.com/LineageOS/android_kernel_qcom_sm8550/commits/lineage-21 to LOS 20, as well as picking useful Motorola device patches from T1TR33.43-48-41 into our repo's, syncing LineageOS base, before moving on to invest more into getting LineageOS 21 to run properly (SGCMarkus may assist). Applying for official status is very soon, but whether it will be initially on LOS 20 or 21 depends on how that goes.

If it doesn't go very well, we may need to await this A14 request: GPL: U1TR34.8-19-2 from being granted to shed a light. SGCMarkus and The_MarD had Android 14 running over a month ago (albeit not very stable: battery drain etc) but after that some merge from LineageOS appears to have broken it, and it's up to figuring out what.

yes, install this module in Magisk and keep it updated: https://github.com/chiteroman/PlayIntegrityFix

https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/kernel-msm/issues/579 is the request for A14 sources release, that may benefit LOS 21 development for this device.. even though it's also coming along without it (SGCMarkus has it running, and is coordinating something with Marc for issues that he spotted with it)

Status updates and development is only slowed down due to christmas & new year, if LOS 21 isn't working well enough before the next ASB, we will for sure push out another LOS 20 build that contains the January ASB, kernel repopicks from compatible qcom 8550 LOS21 branch, any Moto changes included in the now released firmware T1TR33.43-20-56 (December 2023 patch, finally they did a timely release without backtracking for long) and of course a LineageOS sources sync.

Can anyone chime in on these 2 issues?
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] mxz55:
@Tilde88 until it's been confirmed by other users (at this point, it may still be something on your end) i advise you to reinstall the ROM without making any modifications prior to re-testing that functionality, and to double check this is done accordingly to all installation instructions. Or, wait with this for 1 day to see if someone who uses Android Auto (personally i dont) appears with feedback.

LineageOS 21 release! lineage-21.0-20240112-UNOFFICIAL-rtwo contains A14 version of LineageOS and blobs from X40 A14 stock ROM and ASB for 01-2024 and kernel updates from LOS QCOM sm8550.

Please note! So far it seems like QTI Telephony Injection isn't available on LOS 21! So there is a chance any telecoms that need it may not function... tbh I'm not even sure if it will become available

Also there isn't any device firmware included on this release. Next time I'll include device firmware, but I want to test on my rtwo first if I can include X40 A14 device firmware or if I need to stick with RETUS

Also! Use MindTheGApps 14! You can upgrade from LOS 20 and MTG 13 but you MUST update your GApps!

I appreciate your work! I got X40 retcn XT2305-1.

I flash T1TR33.43-48-41 to retus. then flash the Los21.

WIFI6 OK

5G (I use Visible/Version) OK

DUAL SIM OK

2 Cam app works OK

Finger Sensor OK

SMS receiving issue fixes itself after reinserting sim every reboot

System UI issue fix after reboot

some small bug Iike: you can't switch sim card when you want to send a text message. I think it comes from los21,, doesn't matter ~

NO boot animation

NO GPS or Location service (I wonder if there is any way to fix this bug and this ROM will be perfect!)

I didn't test other functions. so far so good.
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] mxz55:
LineageOS 21 release and the various updates is a really good thing, but i would advise our users that daily drive this device to wait until the next build, because you're used to firmwares being preloaded in LineageOS and therefore the "real" firmware that resides on your device may be very old if you've been running LineageOS for a while, never going back to stock ROM and getting the last version of it, or having to manually flash firmware updates. Running old firmware now can result in unexpected behavior, bugs, performance issues etc.

If you don't feel like waiting for the next build, there is a logical alternative: if you're willing to do a clean installation of LineageOS 21 instead of dirty flashing, something that's always advisable with major numbered version updates anyways. Then you can go back to stock ROM first, namely the latest version of it through the Motorola Rescue and Smart Assistant (RSA) tool, so that your "real" firmwares that reside on your device are updated. Then, you can flash the firmware-less initial build of LineageOS 21 that was just released.

Thanks for the effort, but fyi, that post you quoted was very outdated and only relevant at an early stage of development; LineageOS 20, this topic's release subject until yesterday when we made the first LineageOS 21 build, is entirely stable on Edge+ (2023) just as it is on the other variants (X40 and Edge 40 Pro)

Now by making the first LineageOS 21 build, we're moving on to test it on all variants of course, just to make sure, but that's not the subject from the quote. Any issues or inconsistencies are to be expected until at least the next build when we include firmware and eventually wrap up on a few things, but of course testing before or after that is very much appreciated

@nstream LOS 20 is discontinued on rtwo as all sm8550 community devs have moved onto LOS21 and a recent change seems to have caused rtwo to stop booting LOS 20 anyways

LOS 21 does fix our camera bugs which is awesome, that was really the major official build blocker for us. Meow there's just minor bugs like still no boot animation, touch sampling rate toggle needs to be fixed and audio vis HDMI out needs to be fixed

Unfortunately a new minor bug LOS 21 introduced was the UDFPS overlay when registering a fingerprint doesn't show up, but you can still register a new fingerprint, you just have to remember where the sensor is and touch your finger to that part.. but y'know, I'd gladly trade that major camera bug for a minor UDFPS registring overlay bug XD

That is interesting info. I wonder if this persists across to the edge+ 2023 - does Moto do something special in the US radio firmware? A diff of the 2022 ROMs to show what extra hacks had to be done for the US model may reveal information useful for the 2023 models as well.
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] ThE_MarD:
@mxz55 I was getting keystore crashes and it affected my lockscreen and it's fixed for me using RETUS device firmware. I think sgcmarkus has as RETEU but I'd have to ask. The one you donated me is a RETEU as well, but running RETEU even on stock ROM with bootloader unlock keystore crashes and certain apps like VNC Viewer also don't work and that's even before I swapped to LOS... so there's definitely something really weird going on with rtwo if stock ROM with bootloader unlocked does weird things too. I'd recommend trying RETUS firmware and see if it works ok
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] mxz55:
Ok, interesting, and thanks for the advise. I will try it, but if RETUS is more stable, i wonder where the difference with people getting entirely blocked on Edge+ (2023), as in: lack of mobile data connection.. comes from. I really thought the Edge+ 2023 has larger battery, lack of fast charging and RETUS (instead of RETEU/RETCN) as its only differences, but if you don't have data issues like those testers with an Edge+ 2023 that reported in do, there's likely more to it for hardware differences.

Anyways, just to be sure, what process did you follow for conversion to RETUS? Did you flash all images that come with stock ROM for US, which version did you pick (is it the latest `T1TR33.43-48-21` or initial release, in which case the latest can even be considered untested for LOS) and did you have to run any commands to set carrier config or something? If you send instructions, i will change my FW and reinstall LineageOS, fingers crossed it gets the last hiccups for daily driving the device out of the way. Besides the keystore2 crashes, for me it runs smooth as butter and provides a perfect experience.

Btw, as i said earlier, that RETUS (Edge+ 2023 for that matter) gets more attention from Motorola, like it did receive the May update along with other tweaks just like X40 got some updates, where they deliberately keep Edge 40 Pro behind.. it's a little weird, as if they care less about the EU. Even more so that weird issues like you mentioned VNC Viewer, as well as the known "VPN dialog/capability is missing", differ between the region variants. It seems like Edge 40 Pro is dealt the worst hand when it comes to bugs, and Motorola's lack of effort to provide it as many updates as it sends to the X40 and Edge+ 2023. To begin with, i couldn't even imagine they will ship a device that can't run a VPN, and not hotfix it. Luckily, for that specific issue, LineageOS bridges it and makes it work.

Before i forget to mention - anyone that is affected by keystore crashes, do not set a PIN code on your lockscreen. The device will tell you that you're entering the wrong code, which isn't the case at all. I was lucky that a reboot allowed me to enter it successfully to quickly go and remove the code, just like a reboot (next to Dalvik clear & cache partition erasing as guaranteed way) sometimes pauses the keystore crashes. Likely comes back to cryptography/"keystore" in a literal sense, its issues, affect such functions being used by apps that rely on it as well as lockscreen.

All this information could be handy for @SGCMarkus hence quote.
