Motorola G72 Custom Rom

Motorola G72 — Custom ROM Report

1. Bypassing Motorola’s Update Lethargy

Motorola promised only one major OS update for the G72. That means Android 13 was likely the last official version you will ever see from Lenovo. Custom ROMs allow you to run Android 14, Android 15, and even future Android 16 on your hardware.

1. The Fingerprint Sensor Lottery

On stock Android 13, the optical fingerprint sensor works great. On many Custom ROMs (especially early A14 builds), the fingerprint sensor might lag or fail to register. Check the ROM's thread for "FOD" (Fingerprint on Display) fixes. Motorola G72 Custom Rom
