I feel like I've tried many different roms, But haven't got a single one to work yet. Cm 12 installed and data works fine but I couldn't get any voice or text. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

[Q] Getting Data to work with Net10 on CM13 / other roms?

Hi there everyone,
I've been playing around with my roms and I've had problems with data on every rom I have given a try. I am currently using Net10 via their BYOP program, I seem to only be able to get working data on stock based roms, however, I would love to be able to use other roms as a primary driver besides stock, anybody have any suggestions on how I might resolve this issue?
I'd appreciate it a lot guys, I am at the point of utter confusion because after countless edits to the prop and other workarounds suggested around the community for adapting the phone to work with Verizon.. It appears this does not provide a solution to my carrier despite it working excellent on stock (Which should already be using the steps provided for use with Verizon?) , I have made no progress (except for at one point successfully obtaining 1x signal... Woo!) and I know for certain that many of these ROMS work fine with Verizon and Straight Talk provided SIM Cards, however, there seems to be no mention of Net10 or any possible solutions for my particular carrier since it appears to be oddball to many.

SM-G955FD on Verizon (I don't care about CDMA)

I'm making a broad post as a last resort on this, the only two thread on it I found were dead ends.
I've exhaustively searched and trialed different roms/firmware/CSC to get my already activated verizon sim working on my SM-G955FD.
I already know Exynos has no CDMA, neither did the HTC U11 that I had for a short while, and that didn't cause me any issues with outgoing calls. the VOLTE seems to be doing a fine job.
I PM'd two people on xda who said they were using it stock with no problem, but haven't gotten any replies on what steps they took. I can't even get data working regardless of APN or CSC. It simply refuses to connect to the network. I also hate what verizon did to the settings menu on this phone. If I didn't have the GFUDP, I would have moved on a while ago, but I use too much data.
Of course I know I can get the verizon snapdragon model, but I need root. I simply cannot function without titanium and the fact that android, to this day, has no official perfect backup really grinds my gears.
If anyone else has had success with this, please point me in the right direction. tia

Anyone have a working custom ROM on Verizon/Sprint or other CDMA network?

I have only been able to get a stock image running on my G5 Plus. I can then load Magisk and get by but would really like to run PureNexus or RR. Every single custom ROM I have tried complains that the SIM card is missing on initial install which you can simply ignore and get the phone to basically work but you can never update your PRL or account settings over the network as the app just crashes the instant it's selected. And please don't tell me I need to insert a SIM card, of course there is a SIM card inserted it just can't see it.
Is there any US based developer out there with a G5+ on CDMA.
Maybe I am just missing something obvious but I don't see what it could be. My SIM is activated and works perfectly with the stock deodexed ROM.
Yes works fine on Verizon . My problem is the about phone has my device a xt1687 but I think it needs to be Moto g 5 plus to allow me to watch my movies I buy through Google
I'm with Verizon and like you I had a huge hassle getting LTE to work on any custom ROM except Pure Nexus. I think I tried at least 10 different custom ROMs and they all had the same issue upon the initial boot complaining about the SIM card, I simply skipped it of course. All the ROMs wanted to then just give me a constant 3G signal and no LTE. I tried a few things but ultimately all the ROMs started getting LTE and then I figured out that maybe I found the fix by luck. I'd logged onto Verizon and looked at some settings and noticed my phone showed up as a default device name. I simply changed that to something else and perhaps that fixed the issue while I was flashing all these ROMs.
Now my problem is different....it's backwards. LTE works great until i get in a rural area and then the phone wont change down to 3G or 1x. No signal at all for phone or text until get back into an LTE area. I think these issues have to be related to the APN settings the custom ROMs (except Pure Nexus) are using. I would like to copy all the APN related files from the stock ROM which works perfectly over to a custom ROM but I'm unsure of which files to copy. Try changing your device name on Verizon to see what happens after a few minutes. Worth a shot...

T-Mobile/Oreo Roms

Any Oreo ROM I've tried recently I can't get volte/WiFi calling to work to activate. I'm using metro PCS and the trick on nougat ROMs to get it to work properly every time is to just delete the metro APN and use the T-Mobile one. Why this works, idk. I know it CAN work on Oreo ROMs because it did in earlier builds but I've abandoned all hope because it just won't work anymore.
Unfortunately at home I have little to no edge/3G for calling so I rely on volte/WiFi. I don't make much calls anyway so it's not too important but I'm wondering if anybody has a clue what the issue is? I'd like to be back on Oreo with all the progress that's been made.

Verizon network issues on AOSP ROMs

I've done a lot of reading on this topic and have yet to find a clear solution. It seems that others have very similar issues, some resolved and some not. There are lots of promising fixes out there but none that I have tried work for me. I'll describe the specific issue below, but first:
What I'd really like to know is if there is anyone out there still using a G900V with an AOSP rom and verizon service? Does the service work reliably? just like on stock LL or MM ? Is there hope for me to be able to use this phone as my daily? Now that I've had a taste of AOSP, I can't go back to MM or LL. The only reason I've held out for so long is that the S5 has removable batteries, is modifiable (thanks XDA devs!), and is now very cheap to replace. But could it be time to throw in the towel...?
The issue is, verizon service on any AOSP rom that I've tried, is unreliable. It works some places and not others. This is not just reception - I'm comparing to the same phone running stock MM or LL firmware, and these are all in metropolitan areas, the service exists for sure and has for years while using stock rooted LL rom. At my house for example, data works, mms, sms, and calls work (although sms are delayed). 4 blocks down the road, I only get data. No sms, mms, or calls can go out or come in. On a road trip recently and I get similar unreliability with the sms and mms. Fortunately, data seems to work most places which has allowed me to continue using RR-7 pie and not be totally in the dark.
It's similar to this issue here (roaming indicator off) and I have tried all of the things on the OPs list with 3 different CID15 phones (G900V): Different ROMs, changing APN settings, restoring QL1 EFS, changing preferred network types, different sim cards, etc, etc

My knowledge of how it all works is limited but it seems to me like there is something about the AOSP roms that doesn't allow the phone to connect to the right bands? frequencies? protocols? As I do get some of the network functionality. If I TWRP flash back to stock MM (which I have done many times) it works perfectly, everytime, everywhere.
