Moto X Style vs. Pure UK LTE Band Compatibility

I'm considering picking up a Moto X Pure whilst on my travels to the US in a month's time, but will I be missing out given that the US model doesn't support 800MHz (Band 20) LTE? I intend to use the phone in the UK on Three who use 1800MHz (Band 3) and are now introducing 800MHz to improve indoor signal strength.

Buying in the US saves nearly £100 compared to the UK retail price, though I have noted that Clove and Handtec are offering preorders for slightly less than Moto direct...

[5.1.1] Android Pay Compatibility

Anyone else recently get updated to the new Android Pay / Google Wallet app combo? Since the update, I haven't been able to get Pay working. I'm logged in with my Google account, it sees the cards I have on my Wallet account, but when I select one it will sit and think for a while before spitting out:

Quote:

Android pay cannot be used Google is unable to verify that your device or the software running on it is Android compatible

And it only gives me an option to dismiss the dialog.

This worked fine on 4.4.4 and 5.0.2.

I may have an APK of the old Google Wallet somewhere, thinking I'm downgrade to that and see how it goes.

Anyone else see this?

edit: should have googled first, this is because the phone is rooted (which I kind of suspected). The simple solution is to temporarily disable root, add your cards, then re-enable root.

Compatibility of the Recoveries

A custom recovery made for a particular phone model will work on every Android version of it?

Android 5 etc

Transfer Hardware Compatibility

Is there any way to transfer the motherboard or other hardware from an S5 to a Note 3?

Compatibility with S6 Edge ROMS

Is the Edge+ compatible with S6 roms? Seems like its similar hardware, just bigger.

So I'm rooted with a USCC Galaxy S6... ROM Compatibility?

1. TWRP is up
2. Stock 5.1.1 with baseband G920R4TYU2BOF7/HW version G9020R4.02
3. Kernel name: 3.10.61-V-Kernel+
4. No Mods
5. Rooted

Last time, I did any rooting and flashing was the original Galaxy S Mesmerize for USCC... Been using that trusty phone up until 2 days ago. I finally broke down and upgraded after 5+ years! So I'm a bit rusty on this kind of stuff.

I know when I was flashing with the Mez, I had to make sure that I used carrier-specific ROMs since there were subtleties in hardware and so on. I was wondering which of the Custom ROMs in the pinned thread in the general section of this forum were compatible with a US Cellular Galaxy S6 with the specs I listed. Here is the link to the thread I'm speaking of. Also, any hints, clues, thing to look for etc etc in determining if a ROM is compatible would be awesome.

Once again, thank you guys for all that you do.

Advice on stock firmware compatibility

I have a Sprint Moto E on 5.0.2 and would like to upgrade it to 5.1, but the only stock firmware I found for the hardware model I have (XT1526) comes from boost (Sprint MNVO). My question is: is that ROM compatible with my phone? Alternatively, does anyone have or can share the Sprint 5.1 version? Maybe another stock ROM would work? Please shre some advice, much appreciated!

For he record, the available stock firmware that I am refering to are here and here.
