I've updated the unofficial ROM for LineageOS 14.1 on the Moto E4 Plus (Qualcomm).
CDMA Carriers such as Verizon, Sprint, Boost, and possibly more now working fully, mms and all with no gimmicks!

Known Working:
  • Sound
  • Camera
  • GPS
  • Gyroscope
  • Bluetooth
  • Fingerprint Scanner
  • Wifi
  • CDMA Carriers, Verizon, Sprint, Boost, and possibly more!
  • FMRadio NEW!

Prerequisites:
  • Unlocked Bootloader
  • TWRP Recovery for Moto E4 Plus (Qualcomm)
  • Stock ROM installed to your device, for mobile data provisioning.

Installation:
  1. Have stock ROM installed and data provisioned correctly. This is an important step to have any chance of LTE working for your device.
  2. Download ROM zip below and move to external sd storage
  3. Boot into TWRP recovery and make a backup of stock if you wish.
  4. Wipe cache, system, and data.
  5. Flash the lineage ROM zip provided on this thread.
  6. Wipe cache/dalvik and reboot system.
  7. Complete setup.

March 6th 2018:
FM Radio added! Hotspot fixed for Sprint and Sprint MVNO's (Boost)! CMActions coming soon!

Take a look at the downloads tab of the project. There is a build available.
You may want to put the download link in the OP so that those using one of the XDA apps can access it easier as there is no download tab in the app.

This ROM actually sim unlocked your phone?
Yes, calls and text messages seem to work fine, mms as well. I don't have data on the sim I'm using so can't test that. I noticed the last lineage build by ReimuHakurei had sim unlocked it for messages at least but calls wouldnt work. Im assuming calls didnt work because sound didnt work on that build. I had flashed the stock firmware from the unlocked version onto my boost version hoping it would unlock it but it didnt. So far this build everything is working really well

Good to hear. Owens is a great device, I'm glad you now have some stable trees to continue development with. As a matter of fact, I'm in the process of porting another ROM for this here.

Only thing not working for me is videos so far. YouTube will work on the website but not the app. Snapchat videos also aren't playing for me. Sound works but no video. Anyone else having this issue?

Thank you for reporting this, I'm looking into it now.
edit:
Seems to be a build.prop issue, I'm fixing it now.
