I have a CDMA galaxy nexus and so far their aren't many roms out for it yet which is understandable since it was released way after the GSM version. In Rom Manager, are some of the downloadable roms there for both the GSM and cdma, or just cdma? Does Rom Manager pick out the roms suitable for just my cdma? I just want to make sure I don't flash a GSM rom lol.

Its my understanding that it chooses for you. I successfully used rom manager to install bugless beast 403 cdma verizon
The Verizon cdma build is called Toro, I'm not familiar with others

Thanks, I thought it was toro but found no data on it.

how can I tell if the rom is lte or gsm? does it even matter?
Yes it matters.
There are 2 development sub-forums here on XDA for the Nexus. One is for GSM the other is for CDMA handsets. Simply read the description of both of them and you will clearly see which one is for which.

it matters. That's why there are different sections for GSM Nexus development and CDMA/LTE nexus development.
If you are on Verizon you want LTE roms. If you aren't you want GSM roms.

How can you tell the difference? If you flash a GSM from on an LTE device it'll implode and cause the apocalypse.

you won't be able to get "phone" service
Stable/battery/fastest
Which rom/kernel combo has the fastest and yet stable and better battery life than stock?
They aren't compatible but they're pretty much the same as far as features and stuff. Often you'll find the "same" rom in both forums.
LTE EX Galaxy Nexus CM9
Asus Transformer Revolver

AOKP + Franco Kernel
or Bigxie + Franco Kernel... either one can't go wrong, take a look at each and see which one has the most features you'd enjoy using.
Does anyone know where I can get CIFS for a sprint galaxy nexus?
Why not just flash a new rom such like aokp? As I know it seemed to be rom specific so it will be less likely for you to find one if you do not have one shipped with your rom.

Can someone please tell me why there is an official CM10 stable release out for the GSM Galaxy Nexus but not for the VZW version (toro)??? I am confused as to why there is even a discrepancy.
The GSM version came with JB on it (if you bought it from the play store) and therefore was already stable and just needed some moding by the CM team. The LTE did not. Give them some time. It shouldn't take long!

I never ventured into this sorta thing b4, so hold the noob comments. But I was wondering what would it take to change a gsm ROM to a CDMA ROM for personal use and then if it turns out fine thru testing I could upload them for the sprint nexus devices

I have been digging my self but a lot I have found out is all based inside the boot.IMG like ramdisc and some other things if you would like to work together let me know

I ported minco from gsm to toro before they released an official. I did it by looking at Peter Alfonso's bugless beast Rom file by file and bring which were different then passing the toro specific files (of which there were like 15) into the new Rom. Updated build.prop to toro and it worked. I didn't have to make any changes to boot.img (that's the kernel and its universal in gnex roms)
Even for toro+?

you will need toro+ specific binaries, but yes, in theory it should work.
take a look at extract-files.sh under jb branch @github.com/cyanogenmod.
there should be a project called device/samsung/toroplus.

The same is true for all the other files. Sync the repositories for a device that supports different networks and diff the build config files.
Hope its AndroidMe

I'm running a Galaxy Nexus i9250 on a Canadian carrier using HSPA+. The original ROM was a YAKJU build. I'm trying to figure out which ROM I should be installing, but they're labelled "Verizon" and "Sprint", which doesn't do me much good, since I don't know which of those builds would be appropriate for my device. Can anyone clarify that for me?

If you have a 9250, it's a maguro. Verizon and Sprint are both CDMA devices. Therefore you have just a Galaxy nexus GSM (maguro)
