linux distro for E4 Perry?

[joeyxl]

hello all,

i just bought this phone, and as soon as i got it i installed linage. very impressed with this phone (other than the LTE not working...not sure why). i was wondering if there is any true linux distros that work with this phone? tired a DDG search, and found nothing.

I can't say for certain. But considering we don't even have Oreo yet, it's quite the long shot. Though I hope you find it eventually.

LineageOS doesn't have lte working for CDMA carriers (sprint, boost, virgin mobile, etc.)

i have a GSM phone (uses band 66 and 2500mhz)

Carrier determines band(s); phone has both radios. LTE has not been an issue on GSM bands for most users, ROMs and carriers with this device. YMMV.

odd, it doesnt connect to their towers, i should of said they are a WCDMA carrier, like T-Mobile, (1700/21700 for calling/fallback) and LTE on band 66 and whatever band 2500mhz is on. i tired playing around in the dev call settings, but none of them work.

Provisioning and/or munging APN settings is above my wage grade (more accurately outside area of immediate interest). You will probably want to poke around E4 forum for knowledgeable resources. This thread immediately comes to mind but there are certainly others. Good luck.

I know, not quite what your looking for. But interesting.

thanks for that, this phone actually bit the dust, and i had to go back to my old moto E1. not a big deal since i dont do much on my phones anymore like i used to.
