CalyxOS 4.15.0 - Android 13 is now available for Motorola Moto G32, G42 and G52.

It’s known to be fully working, at this point the main things for us to do are work on improving the installation process, and handle any bugs reported.

We’re also working on porting Android 14 to these devices.

Try it out and let us know things go over at Community.

Why these devices

We have always wanted to make CalyxOS accessible to as many users as possible. Which is why we keep trying to support more and more devices for a longer period of time.

These 3 motorola phones are relatively inexpensive (especially compared to the Pixels), and have much wider availability - Motorola sells phones in a lot of countries all around the world. Those 2 factors are very important to us.

Additionally, these devices already had some custom ROM developement going on, and we helped with the official LineageOS port of these devices, as that’s where we get our device / hardware specific code from.

Pre-install notes

Obtaining an unlock code

Motorola requires you to request for a code to unlock the bootloader of these phones. For brand new devices, sometimes it may take up to 3 days before the phone will let you actually enable OEM unlocking. It can be instant or sooner than 3 days as well in many cases.

Do note that unlocking your Motorola voids it’s warranty.

The CalyxOS device-flasher currently does not handle this process, and thus you’ll have to manually unlock the device after obtaining the code.

In the future, we’ll try to automate as much of it as possible.
