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)

As stated in the subject is Google supporting the GSM version before the LTE and is cyanogenmod focusing on the LTE more than the GSM?

GSM will probably get updates first, but it probably won't be by a discernible amount. They're working on both concurrently.
CM is focusing on both models.
So far, Toro has received them first.
4.0.2 was out for Toro before Maguro, but Toro wasn't released yet for sale.
4.0.4 is out for Toro, but not officially. Maguro hasn't seen a "leak" (4.0.4 is on an ota server for Toro, just not pushed).
Personally, I'd say its a crapshoot as to which is quicker (so far).
Most of the devs doing both release updates at the same time for both (its easy to do both).
The source will always be released for both at the same time, OTA's have been coming out on the LTE before though...it just depends.
I thought I read somewhere that Goog had dropped Toro as a dev phone - which would imply the Maguro is now top dog?
I'd hope so, I think maguro should be the first to get the updates considering it was the first one out

Misconception, it was removed from their dev list along with all the CDMA phones due to CDMA needing proprietary files to join the network. Or at least that is how I understood the articles I read on it.

That's about right. Basically the CDMA network stack required for full functionality on Sprint and Verizon isn't open source, so Google decided it wasn't a good idea to put up code that would effectively create incomplete builds for the NS4G, Xoom LTE, and VZW Galaxy Nexus.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
So, logically, what would the alternative complete build be?
Considering any source released for one will be cooked into roms for both likely the same day it doesn't matter one bit.

What comes out in the OTA... because that'll contain all the proper radios and network code.
Who gets the update first?
Of course people from the XDA forum, who else?
Take a look at current official version of Galaxy Nexus, 4.0.2.
What version are available? 4.0.3... If leaked 4.0.4 should not be counted...
Google is recently becoming sux at updates.
I would imagine upcoming ICS new phones will have newer version than the official Galaxy Nexus.
Sad, but that's the truth....

At the moment, neither
I just hope Google doesn't let ICS turn into another Honeycomb fiasco.

Almost.
The stack is open source, the blobs needed for it are not, and cannot be redistributed any longer. AOSP will not remove CDMA or LTE code from telephony.

AOSP contains all required network code and will continue to do so. Us CDMA devs just have to be...creative in how we get our proprietary blobs.

Thanks for the slight clarification. I was just trying to generalize to make it easy to digest.
I'd like to say maguro gets it first as toro had the leaked 4.0.4 but then perhaps that's more reason they would get it first. I wouldn't of thought there will be much in it, less than a few days I hope.

Anyone know where I can find the link to the Galaxy Nexus version of Gummy 1.2.0?
Also a link to an install guide would be great.
You do realize the galaxy nexus version is there right? What version do you have? GSM or CDMA. If CDMA Verizon or Sprint? If GSM Maguro is the build you want. If Verizon Toro if Sprint Toroplus.

Have never seen a list per say, but for the GN:
GSM = Maguro (model # = I9250 which I'll "guess" you have given Canada+Rogers)
Verizon = Toro
Sprint = Toro Plus
Ok cool.
So I've gathered that I should use the Goo Manager app in the Play Store to do this.
I can download Gummy 1.2.0, and the gapps. I'm assuming I want "gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip"..?
What about the latest radio? Where can I find that?
Here's where you can find all the radio's for i9250 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405345.
I'd suggest flashing through fastboot.
I found the thread for my baseband (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430107)
But it says that it's for 4.0.3. Does that matter?
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.
Hi,
I just bought a galaxy nexus and I'm looking to get it running Jellybean.
As the title says, its a not a CDMA/LTE, its just a GSM/HSPA+ however its build number is IMM76K, which from what i can gather is a CDMA/LTE build.
Will upgrading to a different factory image cause issues?
has anyone else encountered this?
and what is the suggested guide to follow?
Cheers
It is not just an LTE build, it is a GSM build as well.
As for guides/faqs/etc., have you read any of the stickies in the Q&A and General sections?

I don't know what you're talking about. All ROMs on whatever version of Android that I've ever ran work with AWS on Wind. ROMs don't change your phone's radio/baseband/hardware so no worries about reception whatsoever. If you want a generic 4.4 ROM recommendation, I'm currently using Paranoid Android 4.5beta2, beta3 should be out soon.
Yes. But there are different models of the phone that work with different bands. I need a ROM for the AWS model

I did some research and found nothing about radio baseband AWS*.
Is AWS for Toro, Toro plus OR Maguro?
Silly me. I should have just done this based on the board/hardware names. I believe it is a toro because it runs android 4.2.1

UPDATE:
Fastboot says board name is tuna. I do not know what to say

You ahve to learn a lot of your Nexus.
Galaxy Nexus is a tuna.
Tuna is common device name for Galaxy Nexus.
Maguro is a GSM Nexus
Toro is CDMA and Toroplus is CDMA too.
Toro: Verizon
ToroPlus: Sprint
To see what versoin you have:
Go to Settings > About phone
Or read build.prop from /system/
Next: Learn about your Nexus and then you know everything what you have to know about your "AWS" radio band...
I know Maguro works on AWS. You'd have to look up the bands of Toro and Toroplus to tell whether those ones function as well. But if you bought yours from Wind, I'm going to say that I'm 95% sure you have the Maguro variant (GSM). Just go here for roms then: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development
