Can I flash a GSM rom on a CDMA Moto G If I don't intend to use as a phone - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. I have a Moto G XT1031 (Moto G Boost Mobile version) which I currently have flashed with a the verizon stock rom (I used it on Page Plus). Its on Android 4.4 and I want to convert it into a DIY Google Home device which requires a later version of Android. I see that there is many roms with android 7 or 8 available for the GSM version of the Moto G but nothing for the Boost Mobile version. I was wondering if I can flash one of those GSM roms like LineageOS 14.1 and have it function. I don't need cellular connection, just wifi is sufficient. Thanks a lot.

[Q] CM 11 for Moto G XT1033 [Dual SIM]

I have been tracking CM wiki for Moto G on their site. Until a day or two ago, it said:
This is a unified build that supports retail (XT1031, XT1032, and XT1034) and Google Play Edition (XT1032). Future support for XT1033 (dual sim) will be added.​
But today it says:
This is a unified build that supports retail (XT1031, XT1032, XT1033 and XT1034) and Google Play Edition (XT1032).​
Does this mean it supports the XT1033 (dual sim) now? since people installing it before on XT1033 reported that the phone only worked in Single SIM mode. Please update if anyone is in the know how about this. I tried posting on CM11 for Moto G topic but not enough posts...

[Q]

I currently have a Moto G 1st Gen UK. I am currently waiting for lollipop however I have seen that the GPE edition already has lollipop now. Because it appears that moto g gen 1 and moto g gpe has identical hardware, would i be able to flash a gpe rom on my stock 4.4.4 gen 1? That way I could have gpe lollipop on my device?
Another question if the above is possible, would it would in the UK as i'm currently on O2?

It's somehow a way to catch attention but at least in the future you should consider to give your threds more meaningful titles
Concerning your question: don't think this will work that easy since gpe and non-gpe use different file systems on the userdata partition (ext4 and f2fs). If you are willing to unlock your bootloader you can of course think about CM or some other custom ROM.
Is O2 your provider? As long as your rom correctly can address your sim-card (what should be the case if you flashed the right one) there shouldn't be problems with your provider.

Network issue

I have a moto g falcon xt1033 dual sim variant. Tried slimkat official 9.0 build. Also 7.0. Both of these do not pick up networks and I can't register on any mobile network. This is an Indian version. Also, even flickers until I turn off and turn on the display once after boot. I suspect it is because this ROM is made for the XT1032 single sim, so anyone with a fix or port? TIA
