Did you have any luck finding the ROM for the XT1965-T (Non-TMo, Moto)?

@KtownJeff I tried using twrp-3.5.0-lake-v2.img, but it wasn't interpreting (decrypting?) storage properly once loaded. I only loaded it by using fastboot boot, so I don't know if actually flashing it to the recovery (or A/B) makes a difference (vs fastboot boot), but my files appeared...

While your work is still early-going, I'm curious what your thoughts are about compiling images for the E4 (and other devices) as 64-bit. The E4 ships with a 32-bit build of Android, despite having 64-bit capable hardware. I ask because at least Google Camera, (possibly other applications)...

Yep, it's up to you. I used the Stock package, and after updating all apps via the Play Store, I had 8 GB of free storage space available.

Following the "Root Question" thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e4/help/root-question-t3626349), rooting and customizing the E4 becomes pretty simple. Here's what I did, following that thread: Booted to the Bootloader Flashed my phone back to stock (to start fresh) using the Moto...

To be clear, I don't know if it makes a difference.

I just responded. Buy some moto e4's (unlocked) and follow this thread to root. Easy.

Buy Moto E4 (unlocked) models on Amazon, Jet or another retailer for $110 (or less). They must be the unlockable variant. Unlock each bootloader individually via Motorola (this is supported and you can read about it on their website.) Once each bootloader is unlocked, followed the "root"...

If you get ERROR 1, you probably need to flash a stock boot.img first. Magisk wants to edit the boot.img, and if you have already edited it and try to edit an editted one, it'll fail. If the phone won't boot, be sure you flashed dm-verity. Boot to cedric twrp flash dm-verity flash su reboot

The E4's GPS has been working great for me for the past few days using Navigation. No problems whatsoever.

Yeah, Motorola will not support unlocking the bootloader of an Amazon (or Verizon) model, unfortunately.

Anybody looking into the E4?

Yeah; my point is that while the Moto E4 is not currently listed as supporting the unlock (yet), it is working and available.

I just requested an unlock code for my Moto E4 via Motorola's site and was emailed the appropriate unlock code immediately. Bootloader unlock went smoothly. On to TWRP, and then hopefully, some custom ROMs...

What kernel version does the soak test provide?
