[ROM][OFFICIAL][surnia] LineageOS 14.1 for Moto E LTE

[codebot]

I ended up completely wiping my Moto-E and installing 17.1 fresh. Seems to run a lot faster than before. I don't know what I had installed previously. I thought the pico GApps but maybe not. I'm running pico now though. We'll see if it gets slower over time.

Maybe 18 wouldn't be so bad. Though even with the pico GApps my Galaxy S5 is sluggish on 18. I can't imagine a Surnia with half? the RAM.

The Surnia 14.1 link is here. I really wish Lineage would at least keep the last build of every major version for every device. Sometimes it's all we have for older devices. Not everyone is rich enough to throw out old perfectly working phones.

Agreed, but I know in many places we're seeing CDMA phased out, so the CDMA versions of this phone will then become obsolete. Some versions had GSM support, of course. I don't know which version you have.

No

Would this process work for relocking Lineage os

 

[kurtn]

If this procedure works, the secure boot process of your bootloader is broken.

If it's just about the ugly warning, use that:

Isn't keeping bootloader open will cause security issues , if I use custom rom as daily driver

Yes. Open bootloader is a vulnerability, because you can boot arbitrary software. That's what the warning tries to tell you. The presented procedure can have two possible results:
A) your phone doesn't boot. -> bootloader is ok. It doesn't allow arbitrary system
B) your phone boots -> bootloader allows all kind of system to boot and locked state is as insecure as unlocked state.
