Flashing Verizon S5 to Work on T-Mobile Network

Hi everyone, I a bought a Verizon S5 - G900V (build number LRX21T.G900VVRU1BOC4) from Craigslist because I bricked my S4 trying to install Lollipop on it. The phone is great, but I have T-Mobile service and as a result I am getting crazy dropped calls and intermittent data coverage - to boot I have problems accessing my voicemail properly and most importantly I can't use the services that I've grown so accustomed to: Wifi-Calling and Hotspot.

Before I proceed to root this phone and flash another ROM - can someone tell me if its even possible to:
1. Flash custom ROM on a G900V?
2. Is there a ROM that will enable Wifi-Calling/Hotspot (if so which)?
3. Am I able to install the stock G900T ROM to access all of T-Mobile services?
4. What's the best thing to do?

Thank you,
Nick

Cant install with ADB after installing ROM

After installing this ROM on my Verizon S5 i can no longer install apks with the PM command without superuser access. Because of this I can not push apps from android studio to my phone. Do anyone no a cause for this?

Samsung security policy

Is there anyway to get the Samsung security policy updated? I installed the Samsung security policy update app but it fails to update every time after connecting with the server. I wouldn't mind too much but it's required for android auto voice commands to work.

I am unable to turn on NFC. Is there any way to fix this without a fresh reinstall? There are several NFC options in the CSC Features app, but I don't know what I'm doing and am afraid of screwing something up.

Google Camera Freezing

Still having problems with the Google camera that installs with the MOAR Google Rom freezing or giving an error message that it can't connect to the camera. Apparently problems with the Google camera were mentioned previously, but I haven't seen any fixes suggested. If I clear the camera cache and data it works again for a short period and does the same thing. I also installed the Zip to fix the finger print scanner which it did, but still no luck with the Google camera. Any suggestions or file to install a different camera? Thanks

OK so I've been running this rom for a couple days now. Love the features and speed. However battery life is killing me. It sits in my pocket at work and within 4 hours it's down by 30+%. On a full charge it says I have 10 hours of battery left. Has anyone else had this issue??

Wifi and 4G icons at the same time

When I'm connected to wifi, I still have the 4g (mobile network) icon in the status bar. It generally doesn't show any activity, so I don't think there is any data flowing, but I would expect it to gray out or go away when wifi is on.

There are a few threads about this, but the answer is usually to disable Verizon's Call ID app. That app doesn't seem to be present on this ROM, so that doesn't seem to be the cause. I also have "download booster" disabled and I've never enabled "Advanced Calling". All verizon apps are frozen in TB.

When I connect to wifi or just disable mobile network I can check the "About Device/Status/Service state" and it still shows as "in service". The only way to get that to change is to turn airplane mode on.

Is this just a normal feature of lollipop? If not, does anyone know how to get the icon to disappear (or show that it is disabled)?

Are you using VZW? I was having the same issues with Net10 but it was because I messed with the two carrier fields in CSC. When I switched it back to "VZW" everything was working properly again.

*** edit ***
After a reboot it started displaying 4g again and data wont turn off after disabling mobile data.... I am at a loss currently

I had upgraded to this mod with on my phone that was on 4.4.4 using 3 steps
1. Booted into Safestrape (wiped everything but sd card)
2. Flashed the rom in the first page
3. immediately went into odian and flashed the kernal from the other thread

Thanks!

So I'm currently on the nk2 4.4.4 build for the vzw G900v s5, rooted, busyboxed & safestrapped. Would the above process be what I need to do to be able to flash and run this rom?

@jrkruse Do you have any idea why I keep having Pandora and Google Voice installing them selves. I used TB to freeze and even uninstalled them but they keep popping back up. I am on ver 6.62 with Darksyde. I also used the debloater zip directly after flashing this ROM. I tried 3 times, all clean installs using SS. Thank you in advance.

?If I help you plz hit thanks?
