Moto E XT1526 no LTE on Nougat roms.. - E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have tried both Lineage and Omnirom, and I can only seem to get 3G I have tried all manner of flashable LTE fixes, I even keyed in APNs by hand.., and I briefly flashed the stock rom to update the profile and PRL i guess it is fine because I don't use the phone all that much... but it would be nice to have... it works perfectly on the Marshmallow stock rom..

I've been using it for months and have a better connection then ever.
If your interested, here's a zip for the Sprint Visual Voicemail: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4-30E6G5pbIWG8tWmtqX2hUaWc/view?usp=drivesdk
It works 99%. Gets rid of those annoying text messages also.
Edit: I should mention I have found the vvm doesn't seem to work on a few roms. One being AEX last time I checked. I forget the others right now. I haven't had a chance to figure out why yet. It does work on most roms though.

Here are the correct settings for LTE
Under settings > more > cellular networks > access point names
delete all APNS by selecting them individually then tapping the three dot overflow menu button which will give you an option to delete them one by one.
Create a new APN with the following settings then select it.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Change preferred network type to LTE. I'm using 3G on mine cause LTE doesn't work during the day in my area.
If settings do not stick immediately, reboot the phone.

I'm using the same ROM as I type and have LTE with LTE speed. Either clean flash the ROM and the zip I posted immediately after, or go into APN settings and select reset to default and reboot. It should work fine unless you just aren't getting LTE speeds where your located.
