Thanks; I was looking for a January 2017 build that I had been using until my XT1526 gone haywire a couple months ago, and I just managed to recover. The latest build above is stuck at the "Looking for Update" screen after the first bootup, and I left it there overnight... I wish Lineage OS could at least leave the build somewhere as I'm sure there people like me who only mess with the device only after their EOL by manufacturers.

Is there anyway I can get hold of the build from 2017?

I still want the build from 2017... but only to realize the ROMs from the link are microGs...

Maybe you could start the setup wizard without internet - so maybe you could then skip the searching for update?

The oldest version I have is from 11th August 2017 - I can upload it if I'll help you...

Updated LineageOS 15.1 Build

After a long absence, I spent around 15 hours backporting a huge number and variety of security patches to the kernel, testing, and fixing some regressions. I made a new build of LineageOS 15.1 for those who want to use it. It should be quite stable, though I don't know if VoLTE will work - let me know if it does work for you (particularly Indian Jio users). I know many or most of you would have switched to unofficial 16.0 by @DroidFreak32, but for those who still prefer the smoothness of Oreo over Pie, or want a build that has up to date kernel security patches, here's a build for you.

I still want to bring back official builds, but I haven't decided between Pie and Oreo. Oreo is getting old now, but it runs smoother on these devices than Pie.

EDIT: There seems to be a race condition in RIL initialization that may cause intermittent issues unless you restart the RIL daemon. I'm working to debug this.
EDIT 2: Hmm... I can't reproduce the problem any more. This build will probably work fine for most then. If the RIL fails to initialize properly for you (no baseband version in Settings->About Phone), please share a logcat from the start of the boot process.
EDIT 3: Another issue with the RIL changes is that netmgrd keeps crashing. Don't rely on this build for a working RIL, I will post a better fixed build tomorrow.

Better LineageOS 15.1 Build

Here's another much better build than the last one. It shouldn't have any of the RIL issues from the last build, and it also has a few minor kernel fixes (see LineageOS GitHub). VoLTE may or may not work on this build, but everything else should work. My plan is to make LineageOS 15.1 official some time in the next three weeks, and then I'll decide if we should move to 16 or stay on 15.1 for performance and battery life reasons. I suggest a clean flash when installing this.

Works fine. Even with dirty flash over yesterday's version.
Tested audioFX. Only audio source that really gets sound effect is ch.blinkedlights.android.vanilla; lineageOS now allows disabling audioFX in build process.

P.S.: Vendor security patch level is June 1, 2018. That's better than Samsung S5

Can anyone get the ambient display when you pick up the phone on the 15.1 build to unlock without using the power button?

Great build by the way.

Settings display advanced -> ambient display gestures: both toggles are on by default. The double tap trick only works for pickup. Not for hand wave.

9/16 lineageOS without GApps
Edit: squid2 is right. Hand wave works.

@ squid2
Thanks for coming back!
As you know, Oreo is optimized more than the Nougat (not updated from long time), usability and battery side?
Waiting for your official release, Oreo or Pie, choose the best for the E2015 :)

    This is our port of LineageOS 14.1 to the 2015 Moto E LTE (surnia). LineageOS is effectively a continuation of the CyanogenMod project. This ROM should run reliably, provided you are running a modem from 5.1 or newer.

    Does anyone know any way to increase the speaker volume? It's super low compared to the stock. I don't want to increase headphones and in-call volume, only the speaker while playing multimedia.

    And I'm wondering @squid2 if you still work on on Lineage 15 for Surnia? 14.1 is good enough, but it would be incredible to see stable 15 on this phone!

    I am working on LineageOS 15.1 for surnia (and all the other Motorola msm8916 devices). I had gotten busy for a while, so I had taken a 4-5 month break from working on Android, but I'm back at it now. I'm running my own builds of LOS 15.1 on surnia now. I just need to fix a few bugs in an official-friendly manner (device-only GPS and VoLTE for surnia). I won't make 15.1 official till I'm 100% satisfied with its state on this device and it complies with official support requirements.

    WiFi Test Build

    I'm in the process of wrapping up the last remaining bugs on this ROM, to bring it to a good final state I can consider finished. Two remaining bugs include Bluetooth briefly cutting out when going out of WiFi range, and a rare issue where the device refuses to go to sleep when connected to certain WiFi networks. The latter issue has been present since the CM12.1 days, but it was fairly rare (only seemed to occur on my office WiFi and almost nobody else complained). A recent bug report reminded me of that issue, and I thought I should try squashing it. This test build contains some WiFi driver updates that should hopefully address these issues.

    Areas to focus on testing are:
    • Scanning WiFi networks
    • Connecting to various WiFi networks
    • WiFi tethering
    • Going in and out of range of WiFi, disconnects and auto-reconects
    • Using Bluetooth while going in and out of WiFi range

    If things went well, apart from the Bluetooth issue that I hope this resolves, everything else should work the same as before for most users. It should also fix the sleep issue on my office WiFi, which I'll test next week when I return home.

    Test build with new blobs

    I've been working on extensive security patching for this ROM lately, and part of this effort includes migrating to newer versions of proprietary binaries taken from the Nougat stock ROM (for lux/harpia). I've updated nearly every prebuilt binary, and have also done extensive kernel patching for both security and compatibility with new binaries. I've made a build with these changes. I'd like to have them well tested before I merge them into official LineageOS for this device family. Please test this build for all your normal usecases, and let me know if this breaks or fixes anything for you compared to regular official weekly builds. Please use the bundled kernel for testing, and not any custom kernels. If your carrier supports VoLTE, also let me know if VoLTE still works on this test build. Be aware that since this is an unofficial build, you will have to do a clean install. You can back up your official build with TWRP, do a clean install of this test build., and later restore your official build backup if you'd like.

    For those who want to see the actual changes, look at LineageOS gerrit for the device side, and here kernel and binary wise.
