Strange.. I'm still running the Dec 23 build with no issues at all..

I have the same issue. I upgraded from an older install of Lineage 14.1 to the 1223 and I don't have Wifi nor cellular.

EDIT: I checked the MD5 matches what's shown on androidfilehost. I'm attempting a restore from a TWRP backup of my previous Lineage 14.1. I should mention that The phone is a Boost phone that I'm using with T-Mobile. Installing Lineage allowed me to use it with that network. Considering Wifi is messed up, I suspect there's something else going on.

What was the last stock FW update your device had installed, do you possibly remember?

 

[Sizzlechest]

No, I don't. it was probably middle of 2018 when I got it. I installed Lineage ASAP,

How much of a performance dip happens after enabling the encryption with this rom or is it so little as to be unnoticeable?

 

[z751]

Also does anyone know if this device has a dedicated chip for handling encryption or is it completely handled by the CPU?

 

[Sizzlechest]

Anyone know if wifi calling for t-mobile is possible?

Is this ROM dead?

Is this ROM dead?

Kinda. I'm not likely updating it for awhile, especially being as I don't have this device and the nougat branch of Los isn't getting security patches anymore, that I seen..

my nexus 7 has L.O.S and security patch Jan 5 2019 Feb 8 nightly build even if this Eplus 4 never gets any more it's still better then my stock security March 5 2018 ,,, you liking that E-5 plus ?

It's not bad but the octacore cuts battery time in half (FYI).. I had better battery life on the E4+. On the plus side, the custom ROM Development is coming along and have an option or two

hows the performance ? big jump from the E-4 I see the E-5 has 3 gigs of ram aswell?

Totally! Even has Moto's Chopchop LineageActions going on customs.. Got Boost Mobile APN's submitted to Los repos & Global settings.. Supposed to be more ROMs to follow, I hear.

ReSynced repo ? in layman terms what does that mean?

ReSynced repo ? in layman terms what does that mean?

Los constantly updates their main branches with certain security patches and system improvements, so a reSync means what I built the ROM with, has all of LOS's newest stuff that was merged into their main & Nougat branches up to date..
