Convert Galaxy S5 from Verizon to a Google Voice home phone

Has anyone converted Galaxy S5 from Verizon to a Google Voice home phone before?
I plan on upgrading from a Verizon Galaxy S5 (Android version 5.0) to an S6 Edge, however when I do I am planning on keeping the S5 and was thinking of turning it into a home phone for the kid. I was wondering if anyone has done something like the following:
- Put on a clean ROM (without any bloatware or apps or features from any carriers) just the basic setup, unless there is one created specifically for the Google Voice
- Set it up for Google Voice only for use at home on WIFI
- Setup a kids menu (with log in times etc for games).
Please know that while I am tech savvy but this would be my first time rooting a phone. Any help is appreciated.

AT&T Galaxy S7 issue casting to Chromecast2

Hey guys, first time post here so apologies if this isn't formatted in a specific way which is the norm here.
I'm having an issue with my S7 running 6.0.1 and build number MMB29M.G930AUCS2APC2 being able to cast to my Chromecast2. I've gone through all of the troubleshooting steps I can think of and have not been able to duplicate this issue on any of my other android devices (Nexus tablet, S6 Edge, Chrome browser casting). The issue being that when I attempt to connect my phone through netflix/plex/hulu/youtube (any integrated casting app) the Icon will change to the connecting state but will never establish a connection allowing me to play the selected media. As mentioned above I've been unable to reproduce this issue on any of my other devices and am thinking it's isolated to either the phone or 6.0.1 (S6 Edge is on 5.1.1). Anyone else having these issues?
The only way i've been able to resolve this issue is to factory reset my Chromecast2 and set it back up on the network, at which point the S7 is able to cast to that TV.

Last two AT&T updates broke some apps/web pages

On the last two firmware updates from AT&T (July and August - added WIFI calling) I have had weird issues with WIFI and ESPN website and apps. Once I log into my ESPN account either in the Samsung stock browser or in the ESPN Fantasy Sports app, they will no longer load when on WIFI. Both work fine on 4G but on WIFI they just hang and the web page will not load in any browser and the app never makes it past the loading screen. There may be other apps/web pages that are affected, but these are the only ones I have had issues with.
I tried a factory reset and that did not fix the problem so I decided to roll back to the June firmware (APF2). On APF2 both the app and web page load without any problems on WIFI and 4G. I'm wondering if the WIFI calling update caused some sort of conflict with a port or something. Anybody else experience anything similar?
