After flashing the Verizon model GS8 with a Sprint GS8 ROM, will it work on the Sprint network?
Sent from my SM-G935U using Tapatalk
You can not flash other provider's firmware on the phone. Won't work.
I have the same question. I'm buying a Verzion S8+ in hope to use with Sprint. I heard it's unlocked. On the other hand, Sprint put S8+ Verizon in the list of eligible phones for it's BYOD plan.

Does it mean we can use Verizon rom directly with Sprint? Will it still support Sprint's Wi-Fi calling?

It will work only if you take it into a Sprint store and have them add the IMEI into their database. (It's a pain in the rear, but that's it, speaking from prior experience adding an IMEI to their database)
Just out the box, it will not work.

Just wondering how long you guys have been with Android and what your previous devices were. How many paid apps have you purchased?
I'm just wondering because I was recently going through my market and realized I have 27 paid apps! A lot of people think that the iPhone app store is better because of numbers but how many times have iPhone users asked "can I get that on my phone?" When have you ever heard vice versa? I know they are usually better visually and are better quality apps but I like our immature android... he's growing everyday. I personally think android marketplace is the bees knees because its more intimate, you can email devs for specific bugs and requests. You have emulators... mp3 downloads I mean you name it we got it. I refer to it as the android black market. Anyways what is your android history?

Android or phones? Pre android, i had an lg flip phone that i hated. Next was the big thing for girly girls, the hot pink moto razr. Then palm centro. Started with at&ts first android, backflip. Then tried flipside (locked bootloader and no development) but quickly moved to atrix. Loved it so much, i got a second one for playing with. Was thinking of going to the atrix hd, but I dont do non removable batteries. So once moto screwed the atrix , I said im done. Samsung skyrocket is my current phone and I'll never go locked bootloader again. Have no clue how many paid apps, but quite a few. However, I have hacked quite a few more then I've owned. Those include epic 4g touch, captivate, and have an lg quantum that I cant seem to find any development for. :what:

Just to update: I think Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 (lavender, Snapdragon 660, 3/4-32/64/128GB shared mSD, 4000mAh, 6.3" 1080p) might be the best "cheap modern" device for Android 10 / LinOS 17 - at least I do not know of a newer Snapdragon Custom Rom device available for under €150

Hi guys,
I'm thinking about getting a monthly plan from a local carrier. The plan offers your choice of a bunch of different phones. The phone I choose will be replacing my Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016 edition).
I will mostly use the phone for texting and Spotify, but I need the phone I choose to be as dev-friendly as possible. This means no locked (or very easily unlocked) bootloader, painless to install recovery like TWRP + root. Because after I root, of course I will be installing apps like Titanium Backup, Viper4Android, etc.
Here are the devices I can choose from the plan:
Sony Xperia XA Ultra
Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge
Samsung Galaxy A7 2017
Moto G3 Turbo
Moto Z LTE
Moto Z Play
LG Stylus 2
Huawei P9
Huawei Mate 8
Huaweii Y6 II LTE
Lenovo Phab 2
Now of course I can search and search the XDA forums to see how much support each model has, but I am hoping anyone who reads this thread 1: Owns one or more of the devices I listed, and 2: Has experience in rooting / modding them.
Thanks! <3
Edit: I realize that the carrier may or may not pre-lock the phones, but ignoring this, assuming I wanted to buy one of the above devices with cash and not on a carrier plan, which should I go for as far as dev-friendliness?
Does anyone know why Samsung handsets need carrier firmware installed in order for VoLTE to be active, yet other makes do not?
I'm curious about the reasons behind this?
For example the UK network EE which offers 4G calling quotes:
an EE pay monthly plan on one of these phones bought from any retailer including EE (please check when buying a phone from a non-EE retailer whether or not it supports 4G Calling, as we cannot guarantee phones purchased from third parties will support the feature):
◦Apple iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6S, 6S Plus, SE, 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8 Plus, X ◦Google Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL ◦Sony Xperia XZ1, Xperia XZ1 Compact ◦Huawei P10, P10 lite, P10 Plus ◦HTC U11 ◦Blackberry Priv, Dtek 50, Dtek 60, KEYone ◦Nokia 3, 5, 8 ◦EE Hawk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To use 4G Calling, you’ll need: •or one of these phones, bought directly from EE in-store, online or over the phone: Samsung Galaxy S8, S8+, S7, S7 edge, S6, S6 edge, S6 edge+

Does anyone know what bands make up T-Mobiles 5G UC on newer devices and if LGs V60 is capable? Or maybe has it with Android 13 update? I traded in my LG to get a Google Pixel 7 Pro for free and am missing the audio features. I found a sealed new in box on eBay and have it coming in the mail just waiting. I find myself always drawn back to LG, it's more fluid than Samsungs I've used and different features draws me away from the Pixel back to it. I even have a Samsung S23 Ultra that is laying on my nightstand since I have the Pixel.
