What do this terms mean? I have seen them when referring to ROMs, and I know the package to installed to root was called toroplus, but when exactly is it / does it mean? Thanks.
Also, what specific versions are there? I've seen GNex LTE or GNex CDMA and GNex GSM. Aren't all the GNex, sprint and verizon LTE compatible?
These are the internal names for the various Galaxy Nexus hardware.
maguro - GSM international model
toro - Verizon CDMA/LTE model
toroplus - Sprint CDMA/LTE model

Okay so whenever someone says ROM for toroplus that means for Sprint model correct? And why do people say Sprint CDMA / LTE Model? Why the / LTE if it is understood to have LTE already?
haha. BullPlus..
I translated toroplus as extra bull.
...of the people, by the people, for the people...
The Sprint and Verizon versions BOTH have LTE, correct?

Cause LTE is not CDMA technology is different , practically LTE is the new advanced GSM technology while CDMA is the old tech and Verizon and sprint still uses it

My fast boot mode says as "toro 32GB"
So is it Verizon Gnex? But I am successfully flashed sprint version ROM and radio!
What is it exactly?

Got mine from Sprint and fastboot still reads Toro 32GB after the official update. Do any Toroplus actually even say Toroplus in fastboot? My last one from Sprint was the same.

True, but since all three variants are the Tuna family...
Toro is the fatty and more expensive sushi tuna.
Maguro is the lower cut.
And Grouper?
Another type of fish.
But to the OP:
What carrier are you using?
If it's Verizon you're Toro.
If it's Sprint you're ToroPlus
If you're carrier is anyone else...you're Maguro.

who do i know if my Galaxy nexus is gsm or lte?
What network are you on? The only network offering the LTE Galaxy Nexus is Verizon.
Differences include the fact the GSM Galaxy Nexus has 16gb of storage whereas the Verizon LTE version has 32gb.
The LTE version is also slightly thicker.

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

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.

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.

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

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?

No

The steps are:
1. Put T-Mobile GSM SIM card into your CDMA/LTE only phone
2. Cry and wet your pants because it didn't work.
just to be clear, tmobile uses gsm technology and verizon uses cdma. those two are different so they are not interchangeable.
Step 1: sell your Verizon Galaxy Nexus
Step 2: buy a GSM Galaxy Nexus.

Do you have a LTE-enabled device? I don't think you do... If your device's model really is GT-I9250.
