Really dude? The VZW XL 2 is locked - hence why there is a bounty thread......

Really dude? It's very easy to use a Google XL on VZW...put sim card in and that's it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
Verizon must have changed in the last year or so then. Last time I was looking into Verizon they were really strict.

First of all, at least in the past, the SIM card on Verizon phones only activated the LTE portion of the connection. The CDMA portion used for calls and SMS still used the standard CDMA registration process than Verizon had always used.

Another thing that Verizon does, or used to do, is not allow just any phone on its network. Verizon required (again, his might have changed recently) phones to be provisioned on their network manually and if it wasn't a phone that Verizon sold they would usually say no. That is why phones like the Nexus 5 and Nexus 5X were almost impossible to use on Verizon despite the fact that the hardware was fully compatible with Verizon's network.

I guess Verizon must have changed the way it does things. From what you say simply entering a Verizon SIM card into a compatible unlocked phone will work without Verizon interaction and will register both the CDMA and LTE portions on Verizon's network
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] twiz0r:
All of that is great and true...but if you don't know for sure please don't spread misinformation. Have good night sir
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
Have you tried using a phone other than the Pixel 2 XL that was not bought from Verizon on Verizon's network? What I said was true as recently as early November 2017. My friend has Verizon. His old phone died and he needed a phone to get him through a few weeks until he could get a new one. I tried to let him borrow my old Nexus 5X. From a hardware standpoint the Nexus 5X is fully compatible with Verizon. He put in his Verizon SIM card in and..... nothing. He called Verizon to see what the issue was. They said they won't activate it because the phone wasn't purchased from them. He went into a Verizon store in person and was told the same thing. Again, that was less than 3 months ago.

I did notice in my original post I did say in the "last year or so". That should have said "the last month or so". Sorry for the confusion that might have caused.

I have bought several non verizon phones over the last several years and the only phone I had an issue with trying to get to work was a verizon pre-paid which they would not let me use on their service since it had never been activated before so they just want to get as much money as possible. I had the old unlimited plan and bought smartphones used on att and had no problem getting them activated several times.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] kdkinc:
Oh yes! Buy a Verizon phone, They all come with red handcuffs so that you can't alter the device in any way.

With a Verison phone you never really own the phone but you do have the privilege of paying for it.

Big red knows best.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
Interesting. Maybe it was a model of phone that Verizon did sell even if that actual phone wasn't bought from them and that was enough? Or maybe you were just lucky? I just know what I/my friend have experienced and I have heard of it happening to other people over the years. Although those other cases weren't very recent and I don't know what phones they were.

Honestly, the fact that it has to be "activated" by Verizon is bull****. When I got my Nexus 5, Nexus 5X and Pixel 2 XL there was no need for for the phones to be activated by AT&T. When I switched phones AT&T didn't even know about it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ridenickel9:
I just bought a Google version Pixel 2 XL from swappa. I went to a VZW authorized retailer, bought a Sim for $10 - profit. I didn't even get slapped with the one time $3O activation fee!

When I bought my wife's Iphoe 8 plus VZW hammered me with that $30 fee, hence now I always go to side chain VZW retailers not bug red HQ in my area.

Connecting an Unlocked Pixel XL2 on Verizon - No Verizon Software Wanted

I currently have an Unlocked Nexus 6P running on Verizon which was set up by a Verizon store support member in Jan 2016 when they weren't selling the phone. Seems to work fine, except the phone connectivity is a bit poor in less populated areas (Assuming that not all bands are supported).

Recently (Dec 2017) bought an Unlocked Pixel XL2 and intend to connect to Verizon. Reason I bought an Unlocked phone from Google is my desire to not have any Verizon software / bloatware installed when I put my SIM in and connect to the network; Not intending to root, just to avoid.

Anyone have any thoughts / input on how I can insure no Verizon garbage on the new phone during activation? Phone cost more just to avoid and I need to be sure I don't mess the activation up.

Thank you.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
Wow. I'm amazed that Verizon allowed a Nexus 6P on its network since it never sold that phone. I tried to let my friend (who is a Verizon customer) use my Nexus 5X while he was waiting to get a new phone. Two different Verizon employees refused to register the phone on the Verizon network.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
This is just my personal experience, and not necessarily a guide. I've been on Big Red for 10+ years. When I went from a Verizon S5 to the Nexus 6p, I simply cut my micro sim card to make it a nano sim card. I booted up the 6p without the sim, and went through the Google setup process. Then I shut the phone off, installed the sim card, booted up and bang. Have full Verizon service, HD calling and Volte, and no Verizon bloat. Then, this past November when I got the P2XL, I did the same thing, with the same results. My point is, I have yet to speak with a Verizon rep, or go through an activation process. All my services work just fine, and still have no Verizon bloat. My P2XL is rooted, and when I dirty flash the monthly factory images, everything is still fine with no Verizon bloat. Hope this helps ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pizza_pablo:
I've not run a Verizon branded on big red since November of 2015, with a Moto X Pure Edition, followed by a Nexus 6P, followed by a Moto Z2 Play (not the Verizon version), followed by an OG Pixel XL(not the Verizon version), followed by an LG G6 (not the Verizon version), followed by a Pixel 2 XL (not the Verizon version).

When I got the MXPE, I had a Samsung Galaxy S4. It had a micro SIM. I bought a sim cutter and copied it down to a nano. Popped it into the MXPE and didn't look back. Eventually I got a real nano sim, but no issues.

If you wish to use a phone on Verizon, that is not on their list of authorized phones, the sim simply has to be "activated" on a Verizon phone and then you can put it in any phone. As long as the phone has the proper CDMA band support, you'll be good to go with no service issues.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] nomisunrider:
It's not amazing. Verizon has allowed compatible phones to work on their network for years. I had a nexus 6p, google version pixel xl, and google version pixel 2 xl on verizon.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
The Google version of the Pixel's make more sense because Verizon does (or did sell those phones). The Nexus 6P and other phones that are compatible but not sold by Verizon are a different story. You must have gotten lucky being able to get a Nexus 6P working on Verizon. They wouldn't allow the Nexus 5X on Verizon and it's just as compatible with Verizon as the Nexus 6P.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] paperjam252:
I stuck an active SIM in a Nexus 5x and used it for almost a year on Verizon with full functionality. Then I took the same card and used it in a 6p. Hate your luck but I've been swapping SIM cards on Verizon for years using branded and unlocked phones and never had any trouble.

[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] fireball0093:
Hey everyone! Since XDA is a community-based forum, I want to hear your input on what ROMs those with the Qualcomm Moto E4 would like to see. I'm new to developing so I cannot 100% promise a fully working ROM right out of the gate, but I'll sure as heck give it a try because you gotta start somewhere, right? :p DotOS v1.2 is fully working other than the LTE CDMA issue due to LineageOS being the base, crDroid is almost 100% working after I solve the camera error, and in a few days after messing around with crDroid's cam I planned on attempting another Unofficial ROM for you guys. One final thing: Oreo device trees for the Perry model don't seem to be up yet, so as of right now please recommend Nougat ROMs.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] mn1968:
Your efforts are much appreciated. However, I would suggest you build which ever ROM interests you. We previously had a dev here that asked which ROMs to build. He uploaded a bunch. Then when the ingrates started complaining about updates, broken features, etc... he pulled everything and closed his account. Things have been really slow for perry, so your ROMs are very welcome! I would rather you stick around than get aggravated and leave as well.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] domenci:
I'm on Verizon so I'd love to see anything that could support that. However I don't really need a custom ROM what with the xposed framework giving me all I need, but stock Oreo would be nice once that's possible.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] fireball0093:
Well I already compiled the two I use and enjoy the most on my other phones, I wouldn't mind building one more. Maybe I'll put up a poll
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] DB126:
AospExtended (AEX) is my goto ROM when available and needed. That said, I will probably stick with stock on my rooted/unlocked XT1768 as Xposed provides access to essential customizations without having to go the custom ROM route.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] KevMetal:

[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] </poorly_coded>:
New people pop up for devices all the time. Especially when there are roms to build for them that haven't been done. Some of us are working on getting them fully working for everyone else. Just saying, it would be nice to not have all the good ones taken once that work is done. You shouldn't speak for everyone here. It is a community forum.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
In my opinion, it was you trying to speak for everyone saying stop building. So, potato-pot@to.

Dude didn't say he was going to build everything everyone suggested. He was just looking for suggestions
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] </poorly_coded>:
Ok, whatever. I guess you guys would rather have quantity than quality. I guess you guys are good. I'll just post what I was going to for owens and leave perry alone.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
Sometimes I feel like the only adult here. Do what makes you happy. I do. Remember, we do this because we love it. The feeling of accomplishment when ppl use your build, and appreciate it. Some can even tolerate it when ppl just gripe because some abstract feature that only that one person uses is borked and they show no appreciation at all. Because they love it. As soon as you don't love doing it, stop. Before ya start to sound grandiose.

But what do I know. I build for myself and share privately. :cool:
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] </poorly_coded>:
Obviously the whole point of my first post went right over your head. I don't even know why you felt the need to respond to begin with, or to further instigate. I wasn't saying stop building, don't know why you assumed that. I was only saying don't get greedy, there are other people who would like to share their work and experience that "feeling of accomplishment when ppl use your build, and appreciate it" that you just mentioned. Troll much? Looks like the bat symbol goes out every time someone makes a post around here.

Edit: I even placed my vote for a rom. Only one other user has.

Does the Galaxy Tab running 2.3.3 support 2FA? Every time I try to log in I get a "Password Incorrect" message. I know that the password is right, I use it on other devices and then I am prompted to confirm I attempted access on my phone.

Here you are newest Miui available for our Nubia Z17, it's a SY work. Now it's fully functional, perfect brightness and NFC working flawlessly. It works perfectly and battery life is awesome. Some users have reported up to 11h of SOT! Probably best ROM (until now Mokee was the only 100% functional) if It had multilanguage, only Chinese and English available.

New ported MIUI9 compared to the previous has:

- NFC functional

- Edge anti-touch

- No more power consumption

- Lock screen perfect evoke nubia camera

- Support double-click wake / palm lock screen

- Support button vibration (can be closed ..)

- More perfect automatic brightness adjustment

- Bluetooth headset perfect operation

and many more. . .

Other:

- Support micro channel fingerprint payment zfb fingerprint payment

- Theme cracked all themes for free. .

Note:

1. ROM need to be flashed with the designated baseband or can not work properly (no connection), this is 2.54 firmware.

2. Promotional apps can be deleted after 6 days (during which you disable what can be), "pay immediately delete" does not accept refund. ROM I made it by heart, these are what you need to pay!

3. Some features like NFC, doubletap2wake and some more are in Extratools app.
