I know it ot but figured u guys could help out moto e4 Sperry has sd427 instead of sd425 like other Perry's so I was wondering if u guys had custom kernels the reason I ask is because it has sd427 it would support qc3

[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] bcrichster:
No.. Not at this time and I haven't tried yet, but is definitely on my list of things to try. But really, with it already being @ 1.4Ghz, there won't be much room to push it.. Over 1.5-1.6Ghz, many newer ARM processors become unstable and causes kernel panics
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] skullkid383:
OK if u get one I'll test to see if it works on one of my testing Sperry's I have also if u could help me make one I'd do it my self

Can someone please help me figure out what I've done wrong? Boost Moto E4 Plus [Owens] model 1776

I have flashed TWRP from this thread, and have been attempting to flash this rom. I have done a full system wipe, and gone back and wiped everything except for Micro SDCard, and USB-OTG. I copied this rom, GAPPS mini, and Magisk to the TWRP folder on the root of the device and told it to install.

Upon boot, I get a black screen with 'N/A' (which I understand to be a warning about it being an unlocked bootloader?) and I reboot straight into TWRP.

I'm beyond frustrated at this point and can't figure out where along the line I f*cked it up. Any advice? Trying to get this working on Sprint.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] bcrichster:
You may have accidentally flashed twrp to your boot partition..
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Grelwing:
Ok. Assuming this is the case, how do I fix it?

EDIT: I seem to have (possibly?) found a solution here

Though now I'm getting an error 'com.android.phone has stopped'.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] bcrichster:
Yes, that will work. Just make sure to use the XT1776 firmware
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tour93:
If you just look at the post before yours, #425, I use that to get out of that loop. And also from the bootloader, by choosing "Start" or Factory load" you should be able to make the phone boot up.

[MENTION=4136656]SeanStar[/MENTION] , just wondering out of curiosity, has there been any progress about bringing Oreo to owens?
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SeanStar:
Sorry for the late reply. At this point I can't make this a priority for personal reasons, so it's been at a stand still progress wise for weeks. At this point, by the time I get back to it I may be working on bringing an even later version of android to this phone. That's all I can say for now. Getting it to boot isn't too difficult, but the current version I was working with had a boot loop I was trying to fix, a problem with some of the blobs. Perhaps if I have the time I can upload the booting version with some notes so that someone else can attempt to take over the project.

Reduced Battery Life and Excess Heat

One thing I've noticed since running this room is that my battery life is reduced to about half from the stock room and the phone is generating a lot more heat.

Anyone else experiencing this?
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] madbat99:
Have you delved into battery settings, wakelocks, etc. To see what's going on?
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jasonmerc:
You know, my friend reported a similar incident, he says he can't get more than 4-5 hours from his e4 plus now, even when he takes off apps that wakelock a lot (Snapchat, etc.)

It almost makes me wonder if some phones of theirs are just defective hardware wise. Although his is a more extreme case, it just doesn't make sense any other way that a 5000 mAh battery would experience a life shortage THAT extreme, only weeks after he bought it. It sucks that stuff like this requires unlocking the bootloader though since that voids the warranty
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ravious:
It's saying that Android System is using about 25% of the battery. All other apps like very low, like 1-2%.

This is with hardly any usage through my 8 hour work shift. Started at 100% and just now got home and battery is at 45%

The phone's just been sitting in my back pocket all night with the screen off. On the stock rom I could go for at least 2 days on a full charge.

Not sure whats going on with it.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] bcrichster:
I'm wondering if there's an unnoticed variable that ppl are overlooking.. Cuz sometimes a wakelock detector will point out the problem and it's usually something stupid like an unopened Google or Voicemail app..
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ravious:
I just ended up fastbooting back to total stock and debloated the rom through twrp file manager.

The amount of heat the phone was generating was really starting to worry me.

Battery life is back to normal and the phone is cool to the touch again.

[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] bcrichster:
[MENTION=5752019]madbat99[/MENTION] is correct, you are trying to flash a file that isn't made for your device "perry".. That's how ya brick devices, the assert line helps prevent that from happening. Get the ROM files that are made for your specific device and no other

Check your fingerprint sensor, is it damaged? My friend said battery was great until he noticed a scratch on his fingerprint sensor one day. That's when battery got consistently horrible, regardless if on a ROM or stock firmware. I wonder if disabling this somehow in the ROM/kernel would help solve this.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] JesseKnows:
The phone is new. I looked at the sensor and I can't see any damage.

As comparison, I have another identical Boost E4+ running stock without a SIM but on WiFi. With maybe 30 minutes a day of on-screen time the charge went down to 20% over 4 days. The build here went to 25% in less than a day and similar use.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jasonmerc:
Try removing the SIM or putting your bad one on airplane mode. That's the only thing left I can think of
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] JesseKnows:
A phone is not much use with the SIM out or on airplane mode...

I installed WakeLock Detect and it was pointing at Google Play Store. I disabled automatic updates and early results show that power consumption went down.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jasonmerc:
I know, it was just to see if that was what was causing the drains. But it sounds like you're onto something else now so you won't have to do it anymore
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] JesseKnows:
Thank you for the build, makes the CT1776 so much more useful!

I am having trouble using this for voice on T-Mobile and am fairly certain that the root cause is non-support for VoLTE. Indeed the app Network Cell Info Lite shows that VoLTE is not available, and I am connected to T-Mobile band 12 which is LTE only.

The app Netwprk shows that VoLTE is provisioned.

Can VoLTE support be added/improved?
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] bcrichster:
Hmm.. Can ya reinstall the stock ROM and grab a screenshot of your APN's? Do that and reinstall LOS ROM, then manually edit the APNs to what your stock ROM provided, and reboot. If it is accurate, you should have voice again. IF that is the case, let us know and share the screenshot here so we can compare or edit/make a flashable APN if needed. (Help us help you and others).

Edit: do you have normal calling capability or is this just a VoLTE issue?

[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] JesseKnows:
I am not sure what I could get from the stock ROM. The phone is carrier locked to Boost and shows Invalid SIM card when I insert my t-mobile SIM. The APN screen shows "Access Point Name settings are not available for this user". (These observations were made on a different unit that was never bootloader unlocked and stayed on stock).

I changed the Preferred network type in to GSM/WCDMA and I see that in the locations (like my home) where I had the misbehavior there are now zero bars. Network Cell Info Lite shows IWLAN with no connection and I can't even attempt to call out.

I drove one block away from home and saw HSP+ and bars. I know I was able to call and receive calls from the road.

I am not sure how to answer "do you have normal calling capability or is this just a VoLTE issue?" - I seem to have normal calling capability when VoLTE is not interfering.

I hope I answered everything, please let me know what more may helps here.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] twfs:
I am using a boost mobile phone for gsm just like you are and have my preferred network type set at LTE/WCDMA only difference is I am using cricket for my carrier. Im positive I'm not able to get Volte but being on T-Mobile you might be able to if change your preferred network to that. With what you have it set at you shouldn't be able to get LTE at all

Hey [MENTION=4136656]SeanStar[/MENTION] , I was wondering when or if you'd upload the booting vender & device tree for LineageOS 15.1. Sorry to bother if you're busy. I'd be interested to complete the project as would the rest of the XDA community in the Moto E4 Plus forum. It would also help port Oreo ROMs to the regular E4 also.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] FlagersXDA:
Regarding porting Oreo to owens, I think that using Moto G6 Play kernel sources would be a good start and that we should try to use the jeter or aljeter system image for groundwork for stable Oreo on our device (keep in mind that the G6 uses treble as it shipped with Oreo. I will download the system images for Owens and aljeter and compare them. Maybe we can also port unofficial treble to E4 Plus/Owens. Both devices share similar specifications, using an MSM8920/SD430 for the American models and an MSM8937/SD437 for the International models. I hope that the system images are similar.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] FlagersXDA:
I'm going to sacrifice my current phone by flashing the aljeter/jeter system image. I'm afraid that it won't flash properly and actually brick my phone as the partitions don't align between the phones, also Moto G6 Play (aljeter/jeter) has treble support as it launched with Oreo. I was hoping that it'd would work, but the odds are against that. Should I go through with it?
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] twfs:
Don't know man seems like it is possible but think it will either go great or you will have a brick with no way to save it. Let us know what you decide to do and how it goes. Happy 4th everyone

I have a 128 GB MicroSD card that I formatted as internal storage, but I'm not getting any additional space from the card that's available to me.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] FlagersXDA:
I've made comparisons to the Aljeter system image (moto g6 play, us retail, android oreo, treble enabled) to the owens system image and they're strikingly similar with basically every change in the build.prop of both devices being those needed for treble (such as ro.vendor.). There are some changes needed to accommodate for the devices physical change such as the new glass construction so the thermal configurations may be different. My inference is that they might be compatible and we should look into using aljeter to our advantage in porting oreo to owens and possibly even have treble support. I suggest that it would be best to base oreo on the aljeter kernel, device, and vendor sources when they become available as that is the easiest way to accomplish oreo on owens. I hope we can succeed. :)

[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SeanStar:
I ended up in the hospital for a while recently due to an abscess/crohn's disease flareup, ended up losing 25 pounds or so over the course of a month while working full time (and was too fatigued/tired to do much of anything except for my job, until it got to the point where I wasn't even able to work). Unfortunately, it took a while to figure out the severity of the issue and get on a working treatment, on top of issues with my insurance before eventually getting hospitalized for a somewhat extended stay and improving. At the moment I'm still recovering from it, but the good news is I'm doing much better. With all of this new free time I have at home (hooked up to IV nutrition TPN for 12 hours of my day), I have the opportunity to continue with the Oreo project where I left off, or look into possibly doing one of the newer android releases at this point and skipping over Oreo. Whatever the case, I'll have a repository up for whichever route I end up taking. Moto E4 Plus is still my daily use device. Having not looked at the project in a while, it may take a bit to continue where I left off. I apologize to anyone that was anticipating the release of the Oreo source code I was working on months back, my health was already declining at that point (though I fully intended to release, at least, something; I had standards that I wanted to meet before doing so, to make it easier/less of a mess for others to contribute on or take over)

Also, has anybody tried running the Moto G5 32 bit Oreo build on the Moto E4 Plus, I can't imagine much harm from doing that.

EDIT: Just tried flashing the 15.0 Cedric 32bit build, the kernel refused to boot and I got stopped at the boot loader throwing an error. Thanks to the .zip only affecting the boot, and system partitions I was just fine and flashed back using TWRP to a normal build. I applaud Motorola's boot loader error handling. I checked before restoring from my backup and I saw that the system and boot partitions had no files on them, made much more sense why it didn't even go past the boot loader lol.

I installed this 14.1 ROM on my phone and I am loving how fast it is compared to stock!

One question, I had thought that the fingerprint sensor moto one button nav would still work, as long as I reinstalled the moto actions app from the store........wrong. I actually really really liked the one button nav, since the fingerprint sensor works fine is there any way to get that working again in this rom? I really hate the soft buttons (and that just about every Android phone forces you to use them now).

Also will VOLTE work on this rom? It didn't work for me before and it was a huge bummer.

on that note:

/rant/ my phone is maybe a few months away from being a year old, it was really snappy new, and I had left it stock. Every damn update that Motorola pushed out made the phone slower and slower, until it would take between 5-10 seconds between the time you pressed a button on the screen and the phone reacted. My E4 was unusable!!!! Plus somehow they figured a way to make the battery drain faster. I have only had a moded phone for a few days and already I can see how much faster it is/longer the battery lasts. The phone industry is out of control it should be illegal to purposefully write software that slows hardware down like that!

I really need a phone with a huge battery that can make it all day because I work in IT and I am going from client to client, I need to be able to talk/text/navigate/communicate, and I don't want to have to remember to charge/maintain multiple batteries, so this phone was a godsend when I first got it! /rant/
