Yes, but it probably won't have reliable radio. Not sure why you need to flash a t-mo tom... there are plenty of CM12, CM13, stock based and ports available that work with Verizon

Hey guys and gals. I ordered a new G2 Sprint LGLS980 for my dad replacing his Galaxy Nexus (yeah I know about time). I want to put an AOSP 5.1 rom on it but Im new to this device. I have unlocked and installed custom recovery on many devices so im not a total noob to this. I have searched for how to do this but I cant seem to find an up to date best way to do this. Can some one help me out or point me in the right direction on the steps to take to get this done?
Also he will be using it on Sprints network so I want to use a rom that has all the Sprint LTE bands enabled. Will any of the AOSP roms work and how stable are the CAF roms? I run a CAF rom on my Nexus 5 and love how smooth it is, but its buggy at times. I would like to use a rom thats pretty stable he really doesn't need a real heavily customizable ROM either. CM12.1 would be great but I see its not on the device yet.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I'm guessing you've been going to the G2 Sprint section. Not much there, you need to go to the generic LG G2 page and then to development from there. Here's the shortcut: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development
If you've got the recovery loaded, you should be ready to go. Just make sure to read the ROM requirements carefully, make sure you have the proper radio and bootstack. You'll find what you want in the link above, the most popular ROM's are mostly Cloudy for stock based, CM, BlissPop and Resurrection Remix for AOSP. I have the LS980 and the AOSP ROMs double tap to wake seems to take 5 taps, but other than that the features can't be beat. I run BlissPop now and have run 3 of Cloudy's ROMs, I like Bliss the best, just wish the DT2W could be fixed.
What is the best rom to go with that has the modem and gapps included? also one with good tethering/hotspot so I dont gotta be subject to carrier extortion and rape... LOL.
I want something easy to flash and stuff since I am not the best with this sorta thing and money is tight. So can't afford to buy a new phone.
Stock based ROM.

So many. Just let your brain choose.

I don't have a lot of time.. That's why I posted here.
Ordering phone on Monday and going on a trip wed.
Wanna have the ROM by then with the least amt. of issues with straight talk.
Stay with the stock rom then. Most custom roms don't have gapps included.
Also, most custom roms require you to have a custom recovery. This requires additional flashing and time.
well I know about that but just some roms don't have modems or other things and I don't wanna have to search manually for stuff that's why I asked here !!
They're recommending stock because of the amount of time you have available to you before your trip. If you seriously want to flash a custom ROM prior to your trip, then you want to flash a Cyanogenmod-based or AOSP ROM. The question is, which version of Android do you want?
If you want Android 5.11, install Optimized CM12.1 + GApps.
If you want Android 6.0, AOSP 6 + GApps. If you want the goodies normally found in a Cyanogenmod-based ROM, then you want Synergy or CrDroid + GApps.
All the ROMs recommended install quickly with TWRP as your recovery. Keep in mind however that every ROM, even stock ROMs, will have bugs. However the bugs in the aforementioned ROMs will not prevent you from using the device. The good news is that unless you use a CDMA device such as a Verizon or Sprint Galaxy S4, you should not have to worry about which modem you have. The same cannot always be said for the Touchwiz ROMs, but even then, unless you have a pre-Android 5 modem you should be OK.
For Touchwiz-based ROMs, look at the ones available from Albe95. Regardless of which one you install, keep in mind that the package is much larger than Cyanogenmod or AOSP, and thus will take longer to install. Albe95 generally recommends the latest modem for your device, so if that is a deal breaker, then go Cyanogenmod/AOSP.
I want 4.4.x or 5.o for some of the betas I'm testing.
Will the ones you recommended have the modem included. I'd hate to have to hunt n peck n trial n error with that.
Custom ROMs do not include modems, period. If a ROM recommends a modem, you'll have to get it from the appropriate thread. I can tell you that AOSP and Cyanogenmod do not require a specific modem. For example, I'm running AOSP 6 on Straight Talk as we speak. I never upgraded the modem from the Android 5.0.1 version I installed seven months prior.
so CM doesn't include it? that sucks. what one do you recommend? and how is that flashed?
As mentioned, no custom ROM includes the modem in its download, because unless the ROM specifies otherwise, you use the one already on the phone. So in the case of Cyanogenmod, there is nothing special to do. Simply install the recovery through Odin, boot into the recovery, and install the ROM.
Trying out a Sprint S4 (non T version), but not thrilled with the performance of the stock 4.4 ROM. Figured maybe 5+ would be an improvement, but wanted to go with something built for speed and efficiency (ie. not full of bloat) rather than let it update itself.
From what I've read, most people seemed to recommend Dirty Unicorns as a fairly clean and speedy ROM. I'm not looking for heavy modifications and skins or anything like that. Those kinds of things turn me off.
But, it seems that Dirty Unicorns is no longer supported on the S4, the links in the official thread are broken and the DU website doesn't list the S4 as a supported device... oddly, none of the Galaxy phones are listed as supported devices. Were we dropped? What happened? Is it still out there somewhere? Is there any other similar ROM that folks recommend?
I've got TWRP ready to go!

BlissPop is a great 5.1.1 ROM, CM13 is also a good 6.0.1 option. If TW is your thing, WickedX is your best 5.0.1 choice.

I don't particularly care for TW or not, I just want to make sure everything works as well as possible (sometimes AOSP roms need to be coaxed into working more than ones based on stock). Also things like Samsung's pedometer (S Health) have replaced my fitbit, and I'm hoping whatever ROM I install will still work with it.
Meanwhile, I can't believe I forgot about CM! I should have thought of that first. Those are always solid once they are officially supported by CM! But I wonder- is CM12 better on this hardware than CM13? In my experience over the years, I've often found that ROMs based on versions officially supported by the device worked better than ones that were pushing newer versions. At least CM12 is based on Lollipop, which IS available for this phone officially. But then again, this is CM we're talking about. If 13 works well, I have no qualms using it. Any advice on that one way or the other?

I haven't had any real problems on stock CM 13(officially supported device), I run SynergyOS which is cm based so I can undervolt and underclock. You can get S Health on CM ROMs if you go that route.

Well, recently I've moved from Galaxy s4 to Moto X Play and everything is new here for me becoz Exynos and Snapdragon are very different so flashing procedure is also different.
Currently I'm on stock unrooted android 6.0.1, and I want to know, is this device worth customization?
If yes then....
1. Which recovery is the best? (i didn't find official TWRP)
2. Which rom should i try first?
3. Does it support xposed Version 87?
4. There is lots of CM based roms, can anyone provide me bug list of CM based roms.
And most important thing, in case of bootloop or soft-hard brick then where can i find updated stock firmware?
If anyone give me answer of my questions, I'll really appreciate it.

Thanks for ur reply, and what about xposed?
i don't use it, but I guess you can't with N rom, but a MM one, cm13 is very good and recently patched if you need MM
BTW i didn't find official TWRP for X Play, Link that u provide is not official build.
Is this fully functional?

There was only one stock based custom rom called trupure. It is no longer supported and hasn't been updated in quite a while, but it used to be quite popular. It is based on marshmallow stock.
AICP is my favorite custom rom for a mix of features and good stability. The maintainer of the LineageOS base and TWRP for this phone also maintains AICP.
Lots of users swear by DU too. You won't find it here, but you should be able to find them by searching for it.
