To take care of the roaming indicator, install the newest Verizon PRI (you can find it in bored's GPS fix thread, or install the newest VZW ROM update) and you should be able to run a normal VZW PRL instead of a hacked one as I understand it.

After the MEID is added to the database you should be able to flash whatever ROM you want, input the correct PST settings, install the carrier CAB depending on which ROM you flashed (some don't need it), activate, and force 1X by making a call, etc. to get the keys written to get data working. If MMS is not included in your ROM, flash the VZW Arcsoft CAB and you should be good to go.
