I just ordered my sprint galaxy nexus and I'm curious as to whether current cdma ROMS (cooked for the Verizon galaxy nexus) will work as is our will need to be ported?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
I would think so, because most ROMs/kernels (that I've seen) are compatible between the GSM and CDMA Nexus phones, so I would think it would be the same for the Sprint version. But I'm not a dev, so I'm not 100% on that.

The rom's are different versions...not the same that can be flashed for either.
And no, they won't be compatible from what I've heard.

If the device repo on AOSP is correct and complete, they will indeed be compatible.
No the Verizon galaxy nexus usually needs a different from than the GSM version

sprint is not GSM, it's CDMA just like VZW.
if adrynalyne is right, they should be cross compatible

Without going into too much detail, how would they be compatible when they use different radios and towers and such? Especially when sprint launches their LTE in like 2020 or so. I would also assume that we would be able to use the same hotspot hack as well? I don't know how roms work, I just know I like them

Because when you flash a ROM, you aren't flashing the radio/baseband.

I won't go into much detail. When your Sprint phone roams you're using Verizon's network.

Thats cool. I figured it would be like say a computer and a usb modem. You can have them both but if the computer doesn't have the drivers for the modem it will not recognize the modem.

Yes but LTE doesn't roam.
I thought that also, since these are two different phone (GSM /cmda) it might have different radio frequency?

Verizon and Sprint both use CDMA and LTE. Neither use GSM or HSPA+. They'll be the "same" hardware. The only differences we see now is that they're operating on different frequencies.

The difference between the two will be the hardware lte modem and the baseband software. These are independent of the rom.

I'd imagine there would be a slight amount of tweaking involved still. For example, the ROM includes the build.prop which makes reference to the specific carrier. But whatever the differences are maybe a flashable zip could be easily created to convert ROMs made for the VZW Gnex to the S'G'Nex.

As long as you flash a 4.0.4 rom it'll be fine the AOSP code already has sprint nexus references so it'll run fine. The CDMA development section will encompass Verizon and Sprint nexus

It is the same phone with different frequencies.
It says its the first for sprint to have a 4.65" samoled
So would the only difference in roms be the radios?
And would porting Verizon rooms be simple?

Yes and Yes.
You could, essentially, run Verizon ROM's on the Sprint version, but things like calls, MMS, SMS, etc...won't work, but everything else will work and porting a ROM from one to another only takes minutes.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
You can't because CDMA requires the device to be signed to run on the network. GSM doesn't. You can't run a CDMA Verizon device on Sprint or vice versa for this reason.
Thats not really true, but porting a CDMA Gnex is dumb because you lose LTE.
you can use it on Sprint, but Sprint sucks....

Hey guys, i currently have a htc one x from at&t and development on there is like dead..
So i'm thinking of switching to the galaxy nexus since i had a nexus S and it was sexy and dependable.
what im looking for the a white galaxy nexus,
So the question i'm asking is, does this device support the 4g lte of at&t? if so, what would the model number be?
i know it does support 4g, but i cant find anything on the lte info on google
thanks for the responses
No LTE on At&t's Gnex.
No, in order to use it on AT&T you need the unlocked GSM model (i9250), which is HSPA+ 21mbps, not LTE.
And the two LTE variants for Verizon and Sprint will not work on AT&T. Just how it is.

Depends on your area, anywhere from 3mbps to about 10mbps. Why don't you turn off LTE on your One X and see?

Unless Tmo planned for 1.5 years ahead when they launched the Herc, I doubt we have the right hardware. Hopefully it does have support and Tmo did plan for the future but they're keeping it a secret . Because when they build the source for a ROM, they don't take out individual little things for certain devices.

Because firmwares are made by Samsung and the skyrocket has lte. The firmwares are designed for simplicity. Meaning, Samsung only has to make one firmware for all variants. That's why that option is there.

Actually the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S III (SGH-T999) is NOT capable of it period. I have one. But i did read rumors that they may be making another S3, one with the exact same specs, but adding an LTE capable chip. T-Mobile went on the cheap side with their S3 and used the same chip as the ATT and other variants, but cut out the LTE capabilities. Kinda dumb but hey im not the CEO. lol.
But you are right, the Note 2 just needs a firmware update to enable LTE, also, the only other phone capable of T-Mobile LTE is the Windows Phone 8X.

No, you can flash other carriers roms. The thing is you have to make damn sure what you're flashing isn't gonna brick you. From a software standpoint all Note 2's are the same, for the most part. You have to be careful not to flash another carriers modem or you'll have no signal. If that happens just flash an AT&T modem and you're good. The kernel is pretty much the same. There might be some minor differences but nothing to worry about. Just read read read. All the info is in the OP, and if it's not just ask in that thread.
