It always worked with GSM. But CDMA was a lot of effort and recently fixed. That's likely why it's specifically listed.

Madd props to [MENTION=4136656]SeanStar[/MENTION] for all his work, enabling more features all the time.

[MENTION=4136656]SeanStar[/MENTION] Thank you for all the hard work that you do. How is the development progress coming for CMActions?
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SeanStar:
I had it mostly working, the problem is the Moto E4 and E4 Plus do not have the twist for camera or chop chop for flash light sensors that other motorola devices have.. leaving what's left look like hardly anything as far as features go. I've decided to maybe shift development to attempt an Oreo branch that would include a modified LineageActions to hopefully get a bit more in the way of toggles and features.. but Oreo is a task in and of itself, haha. That's where I'm at for the moment, but I have been more busy lately with other stuff as well. I believe [MENTION=8947538]Goose03[/MENTION] had an app he was using that worked with the remaining features anyway, if he wanted to provide a link. I don't remember exactly what he was using.

Question

What is the average battery life y'all are seeing on this ROM? Better or worse than stock? Also, are there any persisting bugs? I just purchased this phone, really interested in trying this particular ROM out
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] bcrichster:
It has been mentioned elsewhere (earlier) by others, as to there experiences.. You could flash it and give more details if ya like
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] 1Dynamitedoml:
I know it's supposed to have 2 days of battery life, more if you use it lightly, I was just wondering if it's better or worse with this ROM specifically
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] madbat99:
It really depends on your usage, habits. Backup stock, and try it. That's the only way to know for sure if it will be better with your usage. Typically, it would be better on battery. But depending on what apps you use, how you use them, the opposite could happen.

Easy to test. And post your results for others.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] soaringowl2145:
Why would it typically be better when Stock is mostly aosp?
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] madbat99:
Because it doesn't have moto or carrier things draining it. Much lighter system, not collecting data for Motorola or carriers. And I did say typically. Meaning there are cases where the opposite, or equality, or anything in between are true. But, typically, a custom rom should get better battery life as that is usually one of the goals of custom roms, and a key reason people seek them out. But now I'm getting OT.

My previous post couldn't be more ambiguous, and you single it out? Lol
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] bcrichster:
Aosp or Lineage based OS doesn't automatically equal less or more battery drain. Once again, it's usage/app based
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] soaringowl2145:
Do you guys get this much battery being used from Android system as well?
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Sizzlechest:
Suggestion for the next release: Add a boot logo with a white background to obscure the N/A that accompanies an unlocked bootloader.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] bluesy_92:
This would be a change from default Lineage. I don't mind an unlocked bootloader logo, that's part for the course. He is keeping the ROM pure.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] madbat99:
You can create your own boot logo.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Sizzlechest:
Yes, but it should be included with the rom. Either the stock blue logo with the white background or the lineage one with the white background. Or, make it a flashable zip in the OP.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] idontkn1:
There is a downloadable zip in the themes section that had the Google pixel animation. It hides the NA indicator.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Sizzlechest:
I know. I used it. However, I would have liked to keep the LineageOS boot animation and would have rather had the stock or LineageOS boot logo. I tried extracting the logo.bin from the stock rom and flashed it with the fastboot command, but it had no effect.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] bcrichster:
Ya may be stressing that bootanimation too much here, possibly take the conversation to the boot logo thread..??
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SeanStar:
That's because flashing a custom rom does not even touch that partition on the internal storage. A lot of the stock firmware partitions are not even touched when flashing a custom rom. Pretty much only system, data, and cache are changed. I'm not adding a boot logo to this rom that modifies that partition, that's straight up the wrong way of going about it. Just follow the instructions on the custom boot logo thread and use your own image with a white background.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] veamos:
Hi guys

I flashed TWRP and then copied the rom onto ext sd as stated.

The flash and everything works fine, but when I reboot, it just goes black and doesnt come back on.

Going back into fastboot works fine but it just wont boot up or turn on.

This is with the Sprint/Boost E4 Plus.

I got back to stock via RSD so I know I didnt brick it.

Just that TWRP and flashing lineageOS and reboot makes it shut off and it wont power up again unless in fastboot

What am I missing?.

Thanks

Did you wipe it properly?

[MENTION=3338723]Sizzlechest[/MENTION] may have a point, as I have seen a few devices blackscreen like that when going to/from AOSP (Stock is usually a modified AOSP) & LOS.. the original ZTE Zmax did that too, for sure. The solution is worth a try cuz it won't actually hurt anything

[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] soaringowl2145:
The goal of [MENTION=4136656]SeanStar[/MENTION] is to bring up Lineage 15.1 now. Hopefully after that we can make 15.1 official to get automated builds on a weekly basis.

[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] veamos:
Thanks for the help.

Turning out to do the total wipe did get it to boot up.

It then gave the password issue so did the factory wipe again and that finally got it working normally.

Tested another carrier sim card and all working.

A question - What frequencies does the rom open up?. If its based on the NA retail, just the regular frequencies listed vs the Sprint/Boost only ones?.

I imagine all the Moto E4 Plus internals are the same, with software locks, allowing for Qualcomm vs Mediatek CPU differences
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SeanStar:
That is correct. I've been busier lately but I now have a boost variant of the Moto E4 Plus (XT1776) that I picked up from Boost Mobile's website for 67 dollars (plus shipping), that should speed up development. Magisk should work fine on official Lineage. (The charter specifies that you get everything working as close to stock as possible for official builds, including enabling encryption by default, among other things. I have no reason to believe that it wouldn't work while following these guidelines.)

I have not, and the reason for this is simply because I don't want to upload or make available an incomplete project. This is mainly because of the inevitable slurry of private messages or contact being made in regards to the project that I would rather not have to deal with. The little free time I have had as of late is better spent bringing it to completion. I am still currently working on it, I ask anyone curious about inquiring on the status of the project to remain as patient as you guys have done thus far, as I would rather not commit to any kind of promise for a release date or timeline. At the very least, you can rest assure that my free time will increase dramatically again after the next couple weeks, so perhaps it won't be too long after.

Hold tight, and check back every now and then; I will continue to reply and answer questions should they remain short and concise.

Been using this for one day now and this is awesome! Haven't noticed any bugs, keep up the good work dude!
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
I'm pretty sure I know exactly what is missing. I'm on it.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] fix-this!:
after testing today YouTube has no video and reboots the phone. also while there is audio there is none on calls.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
Try the attached zip. This fixed that problem on the E4.

The in call audio anyway.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] fix-this!:
that worked thanks. now if we can fix youtube black screen. I believe its a missing video lib. been searching xda for a fix and cant find anything. any ideas OP?
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] fix-this!:
found the lib fix for YouTube. just flash in recovery.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] shezzy83:
Any findings? This rom is shaping up to look good with all the misc zips fixes being added. Need this fix and OP to put it all together. Thanks for all the work
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
You beat me to it. Same fix as perry again. It didn't hit me at first when you only mentioned a problem with YouTube.

I'm working on it right now. I'll be making a test build shortly.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] soaringowl2145:
Just out of curiosity is anyone here willing to or trying to get this to official status?
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] fix-this!:
im sure thats the goal. hoping so and that we can get an oreo based lineage as well.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
Getting oreo does not depend on this going official at all.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jasonmerc:
Are people still having issues with Sprint/Boost? We might want to iron out those bugs before we push for official. Plus, unfortunately it doesn't seem like this community is very big, and the amount of people with this phone might also play a factor in it.

I'm with you though, official status for this thing would be cool!
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
With squid2 planning on making lineage for perry official, and doing oreo, this will definitely get oreo. The devices are nearly identical. I'm also pretty sure even if someone here now doesn't want to go official with it, one of the guys who's working on these qcom318-32 devices will do owens also. Squid2 had an empty owens folder in his msm8937 repo for a while, I assume for a reason. I know they also have switching to 64bit in the works also.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jasonmerc:
I'm a github noob so I have no idea what I'm doing, but is there a way we can "request" to push our Owens changes to his repo?

Yes

The community will grow, these are now constantly @ $100 USD and that will fuel the growth of it. It's an awesome phone for that price and people jump on it under these deals.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jasonmerc:
I'll tell you a surefire way to guarantee community growth: merging perry and Owens into one single unified tree source if possible. Vendor trees would have to remain separate, but even bringing the device tree together if possible would be nice

Update: Through no known significant change or update on my part, the LTE began working today after a soft restart. This was after I added supplemental data to my plan after hitting the high speed limit, which I wouldn't expect to make a difference, but trying to get that to kick in that was what prompted me to soft restart the phone. This is the first time I've seen LTE working on this phone after installing this custom lineage os rom, even while travelling to various states. Just wanted to follow-up to say that this appears to be resolved for now, but I don't know what exactly did it.

[MENTION=4136656]SeanStar[/MENTION] I believe that Cedric may be a better stepping stone for porting Android Oreo to our Owens devices. It uses a MSM8937 as does Owens.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] maiyra:
I must have missed this when I decided to flash this ROM...or maybe ignored it for the sake of testing? Oh well, too late.

My phone was already activated with Republic before I flashed. Mobile data and incoming calls to my original number work. However, for outgoing calls my number appears as the hidden "sprint" number and not my actual number. Texts from the default messaging app appear as the sprint number. Republic has an app that allows you to text from any device, so I'm using that in the mean time. Republic doesn't allow you to text without having Wifi or mobile data anyway.

I think there is potential to get everything to work, as others using Lineage/Cyanogenmod have reported success with Republic (but with different devices) without any special tweaking. Some were even able to activate their sim cards on a custom ROM. The requirement for full functionality is to install the Republic app. However when I try setup with the app it says, "Your Android version is out of date and requires updating before activating."

Maybe there is a way to trick this through editing build.prop? I'm pretty inexperienced.

If I don't succeed, I might be switching carriers.

Edit: Ended up switching to Boost mobile anyway. May try flashing this again soon. I'll leave this up in case any one else needs info about Republic!

Data Provisioning

Yes, for most providers, particularly anything GSM should just work.

"Need"? Apparently not, in some cases. I would tho, yes. I run Boost Mobile as well..
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tour93:
ok, anybody has a stock rom for boost?

i did a backup with twrp of the original before installing this ROM, it keep looping back to TWRP. So I decided to restore the original, same thing, it could not boot, keep going back to twrp.

So i downloaded a stock rom from here There is no Boost there so I took the Retail. I installed it following this, it worked but now i'm trying to switch phone number with boost from virgin, and I don't have any cell network, the phone cannot be activated.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] bcrichster:

Hi I am having a issue for some reason when I reboot my phone it automatically goes to recovery then I have to boot to the bootloader to boot normally I was wondering what's going on with that
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] koop1955:
Try using Fastboot with this command: fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] bcrichster:
I think you flashed a recovery image to boot partition, Lol. It's ok, I've done it too. Go back to recovery and flash twrp.img to recovery partition, then reboot recovery and flash a ROM normally. Go from there..
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Sizzlechest:
AFAIK, you need to power the phone on and connect it to WiFi. Eventually, you might see a notification about it connecting to the Sprint network. You should boot the phone up and do a system update before you unlock and root it. You don't need the Boost simcard installed.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] madbat99:
Did you format data?

TWRP is not reading and clearing the bootloader control block (BCB). So, if you do a factory reset via Settings->Backup & Reset->Factory Data Reset, or format data, you'll be stuck in a TWRP bootloop.

The quick workaround is to reboot to bootloader, then proceed from there to Start. However, you'll need to do this *every* time until the BCB is cleared.

To clear the BCB manually, issue this command in TWRP terminal:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc bs=1M

You likely had the same issue.

Definitely don't flash retail firmware.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mattvail692:
I did do a format data in twrp and I cleared is out of all data and everything before I installed this rom so it was a clean install and thank you very much it worked perfectly

The install instruction don't mention installing the no-verity-opt-encrypt zip file. Is that necessary? When?
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] veamos:
EDIT

Ok I found out it was due to an old class 4 micro-sd card I was testing as internal storage vs portable.

Important safety tip for all - be sure to get a fast micro-sd card if you're planning on using adoptable storage!

Odd thing - I installed the latest gapps and then set up the phone with the usual apps - FB, messenger etc.

In all cases there is a long lag between starting and opening the app.

I have an unlocked Moto E4 Plus of the exact same model but on stock retail firmware.

I tested both on wifi and the Lineage one is the only one with the delays.

I did clean install, wiped everything etc.

Is there some option in the OS I'm missing? I turned off Privacyguard thinking that might be it but doesnt change things.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tour93:
I finally activated and updated my phone, went to TWRP, format, wipe but it says unable to delete data encrypted blablabla..

I have so much trouble with this phone.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] madbat99:
You didn't format properly. Format, not wipe. Where you have to type yes and swipe.

You can't install anything if your device is still encrypted.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tour93:
Yes I formated, with YES. But there were a bunch of red lines saying cannot delete data or something like that because encrypted

Yes I have the PLUS
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] madbat99:
Then it didn't format. If you were on stock, you may need to flash the dm no verity zip, to remove dm verity from the boot.img before you can format.

Or in twrp, select wipe/advanced wipe/ change or repair file system. And format data from there, f2fs of course.

That's normal. If that happens, reboot back into recovery from the TWRP reboot menu and you should be able to wipe the partitions.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] bcrichster:
You have to do it again: FORMAT(type yes) then do a normal wipe right afterwards. Reboot straight back to recovery and repeat. Twice. Reboot and do it again until ya don't get those red lines anymore... THEN flash your ROMs. And yes, this phone is a pain, but only until ya wipe the encryption.

OK THAT'S IT, IT'S GOOD.

When I first started I was using TWRP 3.1.1.0 from ReimuHakurei, it didn't work because it was not formating (red lines), then I switched to 3.2.1.0, same thing, then bcrichster told me to try and try again, I did was not working with 3.2.1.0 so went back to 3.1.1.0 and try and try again until no more red lines, and installed everything, YOOHOO!! :)
