OWENS_XT1776_SPRINT_Stock_7.1.1_NCR26.58-26_cid50_V1.zip​


No need to flash Gapps, because this is stock based they are already included!​

How to install​
1- Make a backup with TWRP just incase something goes wrong!
2- Go to TWRP and wipe system, data (not absolutely necessary if already running stock but if you have problems, wiping data may solve them), cache and dalvik-cache
3- Make sure you have an external sdcard (NOT FORMATTED FOR USE AS INTERNAL STORAGE) or usb otg drive to store your backups and ROM and other zips you want to flash! If you boot a ROM without flashing a zip to disable force encryption, your internal storage will be encrypted. If your external sdcard is formatted as internal storage and you format /data your external sdcard may also be wiped!
Encrypted internal and external storage CANNOT be accessed by your PC. If you have files there you need to save you'll need a usb otg drive to copy them from your device while the OS is booted.
4- Flash the ROM.
5- Flash the latest Magisk if you want root, or
-format data after flashing and reboot if you don't want root (data will be encrypted), or
-flash a zip to disable dm-verity (no-verity-opt-encrypt will make force-encrypt optional, no-verity-force-encrypt will force encryption).
6- REBOOT RECOVERY to make TWRP stick.
7- Reboot and Enjoy!

If anyone with Sprint or Retail models wants a partition updater for their device, please provide me with the OTA zip and I will make one for your device also. If anyone with Sprint or Retail models has already taken the OTA and has an untouched system backup they can provide, I can make an updated ROM for those models also. If not, I can't make an updated ROM until that stock firmware version had been released. Let me know if anyone experiences any issues and try to get some logs to help fix it.

Edit: I will make debloated and pre-rooted, patched kernel versions when I have time. It's kind of pointless with Substratum, but I may make deodexed versions in case anyone wants to do some theming.

Is the OTA update for anything to do with performance? What happens if / when the "your internal storage data will be encrypted. "

I had an issue before where the /system wouldn't mount on another e4 plus , is that related?

Is there any difference/benefit to having it encrypted or not?

It does state that the update is for performance enhancements when it pops up on your phone. I know it has a lot of modem patches so it's mainly there. If you encrypt your storage, it will be encrypted. TWRP data backups don't normally restore properly, and you can't access your storage from a PC. If you don't know what it is, Google it. I don't encrypt, unless I'm just testing to see if it works in a rom I built. The only reason that I think it is beneficial, is if you want to make sure someone can't access your data if you lose your phone or if your affraid your girl might go snooping and see the nude selfie's you texted to your other girl, lol. As for the system mounting problem, I haven't had the problem myself to have to figure out, so I can't say.
