The updates weren't the cause.

Every device gets slower over time.

Just resetting and clearing out crud makes a huge difference. Alternate ROMs force that reset, but you could see similar just resetting and reinstalling apps would do it.

I've seen it many times. Same ROM, no updates, for a year and it crawls with poor battery life. Wipe, reinstall stuff and it's like new again (or really close).
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MAsterOSkillio:
I mean yeah, I get that, but over the course of a year I've never had a phone degrade that quickly in performance. This was super bad, to the point of being almost unusable,and I have had a pretty good mix of phones I've rooted/left stock none were this bad that quick.

Do you Any Rom recomiended for this phone ?
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ST Dog:
Well in ~4 months my E4+ is getting rough and I haven't updated past June 2017.

Random reboots and really sluggish at times, taking several seconds, even minutes for some actions to be apparent (like clicking a notification til the app starts). And updates from the Play Store will just hang for 5+ minutes from the time download finishes til installing.

I'll probably backup and move to a custom ROM soon. No point sticking with stock, the few updates would be a pain to install.

But I exect a reset/reinstall would return to initial performance.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] vampirefo:
My phone is unrooted, has lastest update and runs as it always has, no problem with phone or battery.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] dacoolboi:
Hi,

I want to try and update my Moto E4 Plus owens to Lineage OS, but I am quite skeptical on whether or not this will brick my device.

Hence, I would greatly appreciate some sort of confirmation on whether or not this ROM works or not.

If not, are there other more stable ROMS?

I have no experience in flashing a custom ROM so I would prefer a simple explanation.

Edit: My carrier is Verizon.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] bcrichster:
VZW? You're probably screwed. They do not support custom ROM Development in any way. In fact, they go outta their way to block it. Flash at own risk, sorry..
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ST Dog:
Other than not allowing bootloader unlocks what does Verizon do to block?

I though the Verizon issues were resolved some time back for the N ROMs and they worked fine.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] bcrichster:
That 1st part, in a nutshell speaks volumes for itself. Them asshats even lock down devices that were MEANT for Development, like the Pixel. Can't work with devices ya can't TWRP, Lol.

Last part: I remember amarc78 working on something to do with that but am unsure if he ever achieved it before getting banned on XDA
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] dacoolboi:
Oh I think I might have stated that wrong. lol.

So my phone is UNLOCKED, but my carrier is Verizon.

In other words, it's not the prepaid Verizon phone is what I'm trying to get at.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] bcrichster:
Oh, well crap. (XT1775 & XT1776..??) All my ROMs should work just fine for ya.. Los might be my most updated one tho
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] dacoolboi:
I have the XT1775.

I have a few questions though:

1. How stable is your ROM compared to Stock (Does everything work ex: Verizon LTE, MMS, Texting, Phone Calls, Sound etc.)?

2. How do I even install it? (I have no experience on Android, moved from iOS recently)

3. Is there is a link to the ROM? Or is it the one OP provided in the thread?

I am a complete n00b... would appreciate some help :crying:
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] bcrichster:
Yeah, not sure about how well it works on VZW specific services. It should flash and boot, you'll have to report the results for other VZW users but I have absolutely no respect or confidence in VZW, in any way. As for Stock, make absolutely SURE you have DL the same Firmware for the device as what's currently in it now, for in case you have issues with ANY custom and just want to go back to stock.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ST Dog:
Wasn't there an issue with stock firmware after a certain version?

"Do NOT. I REPEAT, DO NOT TAKE THE 44.-12 UPDATE!! It's a lock to prevent custom ROM functionality!! It prevents TWRP from sticking and locks to modem to STOCK capability ONLY!! You will NOT gat ANY data/call/sms use from it with custom ROMs. 44-9 (June) seems be the last usable update that allows custom ROM function"

And that would be NPRS26.58-44-9

Save a few ROMs that have fixes, though I don;t know which those are as I've not seen it mentioned in any ROM threads.

I'd assume that the one in this thread has the fixes. Is thar true?
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] bcrichster:
I believe that is the case, Yes. AOKP & Xenon may be another with the fixes, I truly can't remember as I switched devices this month and been busy with other stuff for some months
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ST Dog:
Was just thinking it could be an issue for dacoolboi. They didn't mention what build they are on now. And given when this ROM was last updated it got me thinking.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] UnitedShoes:
I have Straight Talk which just runs off Verizon, and I don't have any issues with service. I recently got some weird stuff happening with visual voicemail but that's the only issue I've had for the year I've run this ROM.

[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Likwid 420:
I recently flashed this rom and had a no mobile data connection. WiFi worked but nothing when disconnected from WiFi. I restored my E4 plus back to the backup I made before flashing. I would assume this is because of the update you mentioned. I'm not very experienced with this only being my third time installing a custom ROM. I've tried to research this issue to no avail, I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Should I use a different custom build or are they all subject to this? Any help is much appreciated as I would like to get rid of the stock firmware that is filled with Amazon and Facebook apps I don't use.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ST Dog:
See the post after the one you quoted.

The 2 mentioned should work.

That's assuming it's the correct issue. You didn't mention what build your phone was one before.

Beyond that, you'd have to contact the developers for each ROM, wherever that is (not XDA).

I still, haven't changed from stock. Not much point since this device has been orphaned. No current builds. No work on Oreo or Pie.

Hi brothers. I have a problem hoping someone can give some info or point me to right direction.

I have a boost E4 plus, xt1776. I was able to unlock boot loader, flash recovery 3.1.1. then I tried to flash lineage os rom, everything appears ok without errors. but the phone will not power up after lineage os flash. Very odd, the screen is completely black by pressing the power button, no back lid at all. it's a dead brick. I'm still able to enter fastboot and twrp recovery. Any ideas will be helpful. Thank you all!! :confused:

Data saver - SYSTEM UI CRASHING

Hello all,

Im running owens bliss 7.3 on my moto e4 plus and i did something stupid one day by turning on the data saver and hit that check box about restricting apps running in the background or something like that and now the system UI crashes repeatedly and i cant do anything. I still have TWRP and can boot into that for using ADB to push and pull files.

Does anyone e know which file can i pull to edit the setting to turn it off the feature so i can get back to business on my phone.

Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I can put up more information about the phone if that is needed.

And also could someone please let me know if just reflashing the phone over with the owens files using trwp will reset my configuration but leave all of my personal files so i can boot at least boot up and get stuff off of the phone?

thanks all

ADSPD

I have been searching for information on ADSPD and ran across your thread. I was using [MENTION=6485916]squid2[/MENTION] repo links to build for Perry just to update android security and the build failed looking for adspd as it was listed in proprietary_files.txt, but was not included in the vendor files. I deleted the references to adspd and the build completed and booted. [MENTION=4136656]SeanStar[/MENTION], do you know the functionality of adspd and what I should look for going wrong if I didn't include it? I understand this does not fit exactly in the discussion on Owens, but seems you are aware of some issues with this?

Thanks

EDIT 01/17/2018: I've added a new build for boost/sprint users to try out. I recommend making sure your data is provisioned on stock rom before doing a clean install of this build in TWRP. (Clean install meaning you wiped system, data, cache, internal storage before flashing zip) I don't know if it works, but it has the best possibility of working if you follow these instructions. And remember to make a backup before you do anything!

Does this build ( and all future builds ) include the random fixes that users have submitted for like youtube etc? I will have to try this later when I get home.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SeanStar:
I actually thought to put those in as soon as I uploaded it, so I'm reuploading with those included.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] </poorly_coded>:
No data at all on Boost. Not even 3G. I took some logs, but can't post anything yet. PM me if you want them.

Found out how to get data on this ROM for boost u gotta change stuff under network settings
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SeanStar:
Thank you for the feedback. I'm suspecting the problem lies with the APNs, I suppose it's back to the drawing board. If anyone with boost data would like to help me test things/fix it, that would be appreciated. Please PM me if you use boost as your carrier and would like to join the development google hangout. Part of the problem in solving this is also the fact that a lot of phones don't support boost as a carrier, including a lot of motorola phones.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SeanStar:
So it is a problem with the APNs.. lol

Please PM me details, and I'll patch it in.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] </poorly_coded>:
Did you get lte or just 3g?

---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 PM ----------

The build.prop sets the default network to 22, 20. It should be global (10) or set to either 10 or 8 for cdma/lte depending on sku with the init.motocpp.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SeanStar:
Thank you for reminding me to take that out.. Was using it to test
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] </poorly_coded>:
Np. I remember seeing a commit somewhere about setting it to 10 causes problems with cdma provisioning, so it should be set to 8 for cdma. I'm looking for that commit to make sure.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SeanStar:
I already had it set to 8 in the init_moto.cpp
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jdogrambo:
So to get data on boost

You goto setting and then under the wireless and network tab u hit more then u find cellular networks click on that and goto preferred network type and change to cmda + lte/evdo then u go to access point names and choose the cmda apn
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] </poorly_coded>:
That is what I first did, and I couldn't get anything other than it saying sprint for the carrier. Again, were you getting LTE or only 3G?
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jdogrambo:
I havnt went to an area with 4g yet
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] </poorly_coded>:

both the original (with patches) and this latest one, can't get on Verizon's network. can test more if you want. but it's wife's phone so can only test a few times a week.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SeanStar:
It should definitely work with Verizon, as that's my carrier and I've had it working with calls, sms, and LTE data since the first build I posted. I have the XT1775 model, though I doubt that it matters between cdma qualcomm devices. If you want to get it to work, I recommend flashing the stock rom, going through the first few steps to provision the data, and then doing a clean install of this ROM afterwards (wiping system, cache, data, internal storage before flashing). It should definitely work after doing those steps, if it doesn't, please get more specific on the hardware you're using and I'll get to the bottom of it.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] CodenameRevy:
No.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tong6998:
You were right, put the backup I made of the stock rom on, got it to work, then did a complete wipe and put on my backup of last night, bam.. all set. Only got 2 weird things (don't know if twrp or this rom) for some reason now, i can't wipe or backup "system" but can do system image (thinking twrp), and every time i restore a backup, it has a pattern lock on it... one no one set or even knows, so i have to wipe cache/dalvik and clear all the stuff off before i can log in and restart installing everythign which defeats the purpose of the backup. Thinking this is left over in the "system" section that I can't write to or touch all of a sudden
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] AstroStarter:
What happens when you try to wipe system? If it's what I think, you're missing a step where you wipe it once which fails but decrypts the system. Then you reboot again into recovery and do what you need.

Like step 3 from this guide. (E4 but it works)

[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SeanStar:
I've had similar issues in TWRP with previously encrypted partitions that think they're encrypted, even after restoring a backup, even though they are now not (because TWRP does not backup encrypted partitions afaik). The way I usually got around it was going to the wipe section and trying to format data/wipe, and when it wouldn't work, I'd reboot recovery and try it again until it did work. Then I would restore from my backup after wipe, only restoring system image, data, and boot. If you continue to have this problem after that, you need to repeat the steps to wipe, put stock back on there, flash a no-verity-force-enc zip that you can find around here that forces the encryption like the rom would normally, and boot into that. It will encrypt using the "default password", and then you can restore the backup over that, again, only doing system image, data, and boot. Good luck man, TWRP can be a PITA sometimes.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] shezzy83:
This is why I'm hesitant to mess with my phone. I had a moto e4 plus I returned that had the system partition that became un-mountable for whatever reason. Maybe I missed a step when originally rooting but I don't have the issue now so I've been sticking with rooted stock because I mostly have the phone how I want it anyway.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SeanStar:
It becomes unmountable because it thinks it's encrypted, even though it's not afaik. The format data/wipe, reboot recovery, and wipe again seems to undo it. This is why when you try to restore stock backups that were encrypted at one point (as it does it by default), it does it. At the very least you can restore your data pretty easily, all you have to do is wipe everything using the reboot recovery trick, install stock rom with no-verity-force-enc, boot and go through the setup process, and then reboot into recovery again and restore your data partition from backup.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] shezzy83:
Have you tried this ? I did, I wiped all and put stock back on and the problem persisted. I think I did it twice with no results.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SeanStar:
I wasn't just doing wipe either, did format data, typed yes, let it try that, and then rebooted and did it again.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] </poorly_coded>:
I couldn't get any data, 3G or LTE with the last build. I think our TWRP needs to be updated. It would probably help with some issues some users are having with it.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SeanStar:
Someone sent me their getprop variables on a boost device, and I think I've got a build that will work coming up very soon. I'm building it now.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] </poorly_coded>:
I see the changes you made. I've already tried pretty much the same with no luck. I think the apns need to be changed. The problem is, what you see in the apns in settings is not in the apns-conf.xml in system/etc or oem/etc. I tried adding what's in both xmls and what I see in apn settings and building with them nothing works. The Boost apns shown in settings must come from an overlay I'm guessing.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SeanStar:
They're not from an overlay, afaik. I think it pulls apns directly from the network. That being the case, it still needs to know what to use.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SeanStar:
[MENTION=8866645]</poorly_coded>[/MENTION] I wish I knew what you meant by "pretty much the same", setting variables post boot won't work, as simply booting the rom in general can completely screw up the stock provisioning. It pretty much has to be correct directly after doing stock provisioning, or it screws it up as far as I can tell. Even for my own network, which is Verizon. This is why I'm doing all that in the init_moto. If anyone wants to test the build I just made below, please make sure your LTE is working on a stock rom before doing a clean install of this. (wipe cache, system, data, internal storage before flashing zip)

Download 01/20/2018 test
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] </poorly_coded>:
I was talking about the changes you did to the init.moto.cpp and building with them, not just trying to set them in the build.prop after booting. I've tried setting variables by radio, sku, everything. Nothing seems to make a difference. But if the apns aren't right, it won't.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SeanStar:
The default apns_conf provided with lineage have settings for the 311870 network with name Boost Mobile. If you've actually added every variable under the sun in that init and built it that could possibly be related and it doesn't work even after stock provisioning, I gotta say, I'm somewhat stumped. Did you make sure it was actually setting the variables? I'd check them against getprop on boot. Next thing I would try is removing the owens specific overlays that Reimu added to the owens device tree, as I don't think they're needed. The thing about Verizon that makes this even more troublesome is that it pulls pretty much all the network data automatically.

Edit 1: Actually, looking into this a bit more, we might have a problem with the default apns..

Edit 2: I'm adding missing APNs back in to the device tree.

Edit 3: I'm uploading a new build with the APNs added, thanks [MENTION=8866645]</poorly_coded>[/MENTION] for getting me to double check the APNs. I assumed since they removed the apn configs from surnia that they were added in with the official android_vendor_cm repo for LineageOS, I assumed wrong about that one in particular.

Edit 4: Added new testing build. If anyone wants to test the build I just made below, please make sure your LTE is working on a stock rom before doing a clean install of this. (wipe cache, system, data, internal storage before flashing zip)
