Thanks for this, this ROM fixes so many problems that the stock ROM from Motorola has. It's so nice now being able to call fine, use WiFI calling, being able to turn wifi on and off without it crashing and rebooting etc etc! All issues on the stock ROM for myself and others!

And it's amazing to have double tap to wake that works and a screen brightness that lowers like it should :).

Only issues noticed are the fingerprint sensor issue as above, which I know you're looking into Elctimon (big thanks!) and one I seem to be getting with third party launchers sometimes which is when returning to the home screen and tapping an app icon, it interacts with the previous app instead. It's fine if you just wait longer...

I've logged a bug report for both following the instructions in the original post.

The only feature I miss from stock is the ability to set refresh rate for games to 120 or 140hz sometimes, otherwise I like my phone to be at 60hz for power savings. I turn off all animations anyway. The dynamic refresh rates sadly don't work below 70% brightness (same as stock ROM behaviour)

I tried to flash the Moto games apk which did this but unfortunately I get a missing library error : "Package com.motorola.gamemode requires unavailable shared library moto-core_services; failing!".

Perhaps a quick toggle setting could be added for refresh rates?

P.S Always on Google listening hotword detection doesn't work if you follow the instructions and install the mindthegapps package linked, it seems that it doesn't install enough packages. It needs the Google app to be installed before the OS first boots it seems? Make sure the gapps you are flashing includes Google app if you care about this.

Do you think that merging the Goodix (GF3626 fingerprint sensor) related files from the Berlin (edge 20) LineageOS build would resolve the Goodix fingerprint not working issue?

The files: https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_motorola_berlin/search?q=goodix

I made a branch of it with the files copied over but I wasn't sure about these two files, if anyone could help me with getting these created for our device that'd be awesome!

Thanks! :)

Hello Electimon. Thanks for the ROM, it's great to have something different for this underdeveloped device.

I came to Lineage to try to solve a problem with Bluetooth, but it didn't work. The problem remains exactly the same, Bluettoh only works from time to time, most of the time it doesn't even turn on. Still, I'm going to stay in this ROM, because I think it's better than the stock one.

If you have any suggestions of what I can do please enlighten me.

I don't understand how this can happen to some people and Motorola doesn't recognize it and make a fix available. I don't know what else to try, but my problem is the exact one demonstrated by this guy on Reddit:

Hi guys,
What's up with the random reboots in this ROM? I used to have that problem on the previous Lineage as well as on the latest LMODroid build.

Ive never had a random reboot on this ROM, well apart for one time which I'm 99% sure was to do with an OTA update.

I've run this ROM for many weeks too.

The only downside is no fingerprint reader for my Edge 20 pro phone and that's it.

It fixes a load of issues with the stock motorola ROM!

Well, since the last update (March 28), Bluetooth is working normally. It's still too early to know if it's fixed, but it hasn't worked this well for a while.

Is that with the stock ROM?

I wondered if Motorola have also fixed the outgoing call issues that all the edge 20 and 30 phones are getting? Where you cannot make a call unless you reboot or turn off WiFi, which usually causes a reboot.

And when you turn WiFi off and on it reboots the phone...

Factory resetting does not resolve the issue but installing LineageOS does fix the issue. Sadly banks require so many workarounds now to work, and my fingerprint sensor still doesn't work 😭 but I know one of the Devs are working on it.


Sadly call quality for me is really bad on this ROM, next to unusable for me. I think it needs some kind of voice technology that's on the stock ROM but is missing from this ROM. But it's better than no calls so I'm running it for now.

Also I'm noticing very high WiFi latency spikes and packet loss jssues that was also an issue on the stock ROM. It uses the same drivers as the stock ROM so I guess that's expected. All other non Motorola devices are fine.

I take back what I wrote. After a few days working normally, Bluetooth became unstable again. For me Lineage has the same problem as the stock ROM. In my case, Wifi works perfectly both on stock and Lineage. But Bluetooth doesn't work properly on either of the 2.

Motorola drivers may not work for all Wifi and Bluetooth modules, as there may be hardware differences between devices. Anyway, it's a serious failure, due to complaints on websites, youtube, Telegram groups, etc... and the worst thing is that I haven't seen the problem acknowledged anywhere.

I do not recommend LineageOS for this device, WiFi/Bluetooth didn't get fixed and are features that is not fully workable as in stock rom. Also, Motorola has rollout the Android 13 stock rom and if you remove some bloatwares, I fully recommend it.
