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.

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.

Hey everyone, I just bought a new Galaxy Nexus. It's the US GSM Galaxy Nexus from Google Play. I'm wondering whats the difference from the International version. I want to root my phone and install roms on it, so should I use the root methods and roms for the International version or is it different. Thanks!

The hardware is identical. The only difference is that it is running takju, which is basically just yakju with Wallet pre-installed.
Its the same hardware. Just follow the GSM guides and you're good to go!

Just stay away from the Verizon/Sprint forums.

Don't worry. I already knew *for sure* to stay out of the Sprint and Verizon forums.
The only difference is that Play Store Nexus users have been reporting that their device does not wipe when they unlock the bootloader. We haven't been able to pinpoint what is causing that difference. Other than that, exactly the same.
Sorry if this has been talked about already but i was just wondering if there was any news on the official JB release for sprint Galaxy Nexus.......
No news for CDMA nexus devices yet. Sometime in Q3 or Q4 is likely.

Nope. CDMA users are still waiting for Verizon/Sprint to confirm and release the updates. Just curious, why don't you just flash Jelly Bean ROM? it'll be much quicker..
Some people need new radios....

The current radios work fine. "Need" and "want" are different things.

Nah I would be glad when the official ota comes. Could help with that fact CDMA phones have issues with the proprietary applications and deep sleep such as my case. I can't seem to get deep sleep on any aosp built or based ROMs other than CM10. I don't know what it is exactly but deep sleep is fine on cm10 but aokp... aosp not a chance. I would hope that would be fixed in the official release.

look in the bloated roms section :silly:
Just a warning to you, threads like this are no longer allowed on xda. My suggestion is do a little reading through the roms your interested in and then do a little bit of trial and error until you find what your looking for.

CNA by far imo.

I would agree with this. CNA with jellybean has been the most stable jellybean rom I have used for the galaxy nexus.
Best ROM is the ROM that suits YOU. Just try all out and stock with the one that you like. I would recommend starting with something popular, like cm or AOKP.

Most features has to be cna.

Which ROM is the best for you depends on how you use your device.
If you are using a device from Verizon the sticky in it's development section can help you get started.

I currently have a HTC One and am thinking about selling it, pocketing most of the money and getting the Galaxy nexus. I really really want a stable AOSP build and the HTC one simply does not have one yet. What are your guy's opinion on making this switch? and how are the ROMS and Kernals for you guys?

Well since the One is better than the Nexus it would be a easy disicion for me. I think since the play store version is released the builds will come in in no time. I think it is only a matter of time before the aosp custom roms will come. The Galaxy Nexus has awesome kernel and ROM support since it is a Nexus phone. Some developers are leaving for the Nexus 4 but this phone is stille alive and there is plenty of development going on.

Read the rom/kernel Dev threads and see the comments. I suggest you wait, new nexus coming out. Meditate before coming back to the light (aka lite) side of the Force.

Why the galaxy nexus? Unless your on Verizon id go with the nexus 4 its about the same as the one.
I have a old Verizon gnex. Its super laggy on 4.2.2 I would reccomend faux kernel on 4.1.2 that is pretty fast
