[Q] System App compatability between carriers - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just switched to a Verizon LG G3 (VS985) from a Verizon Galaxy S4 and noticed one thing that's really bugging me. With my old S4, I could set a notification (SMS) sound on a per contact and per group basis. The Verizon variant of the LG G3 does NOT have this functionality. However, the AT&T variant of the G3 (D850) does have this functionality.
On my G3, I have OTA updated to Lollipop and then rooted the phone.
My question is this. Can I copy the contacts apk from an AT&T G3 to my VZW G3 and get the per contact notifications back?

Can I use a SEA variant on T-Mobile with WiFi calling?

I purchased an unlocked LG G4. While I was hoping for European, I got SEA instead. I've got it rooted.
We're thinking of switching from AT&T to T-Mobile. Since they do support the LG G4 WiFi calling on T-Mobile, can I enable it somehow? I got a T-Mobile SIM (active) and it doesn't show up in any of the menus.
Thoughts or help?
It's probably rom-specific and i doubt you can flash t-mobile kdz to your device. Probably out of luck

LG G3 Models : which one should I buy for using Custom ROMs?

Hi Guys,
I am willing to buy a mid-range smartphone. I have some options like Moto G, Honor 5X, One Plus X etc. But, I want to go with the LG G3 to try my luck., as It'll be upgraded to Marshmallow. I am not sure if I am doing the right thing or not. I need your experienced advice on that.
But, I also can see there are several models of LG G3 here in US:
LG G3 D855 - International Version
LG G3 D851 - T-mobile, US
LG G3 D850 - AT&T, US
LG G3 LS990 - Sprint, US
LG G3 VS985 - Verizon, US
I would like to use it both inside and outside of US. So, if I buy the International version, will I get the 4G LTE support in US? Can I root it and install Custom ROMS in it? Because, I googled it, and I saw, Only, T-mobile version comes with Unlocked Boot-loader. Is it true?
Please, let me know, And, it would be great, if you suggest me some better place to buy this phone online. Thanks in advance.

Check gsm lte bands are listed there for each model. Although the international model has the most custom rom support and has an fm radio. And nop there are no bootloader issues with the g3.

Thanks I think I'll go with the International version.
beware of fake D855s and you will not get LTE coverage, at least with AT&T. For these reasons I went with the 851. Good luck
No LTE on the d855 in the USA. Although it really is the best version to go with, be aware of that. In the USA at least, you'll mostly run on HDSAP+ which really is fast enough for a mobile in my opinion. (Usually from 7 to 21 Mb/s)

Thinkg about picking up a used LG G3

Hi,
I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S4 i545 (Verizon) that has the locked bootloader, and therefore has limited ROMs available. I am considering picking up a used LG G3 and would like to know if there are any "gotchas" to be aware of? On the Verizon G3 forum it appears root & recovery are doable via some back-flips. I'm curious if the AT&T and T-Mobile variants have any quirks to rooting, etc... I use my Verizon S4 with AT&T so I can go with either of the Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile variants of the G3.
Appreciate your feedback!
