Also what is AWS band?
Mod should move this post to the right section..
. An AWS band is a mobile network frequency band used by wind mobile.

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

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.
sorry if already asked, can you use rom from different variant for example use sprints's rom for original gnexus?
NO. You must use the ROM that is specifically designed for your device. Otherwise, you'll be running into issues. The ROMs are made for each model specifically because they have different radio interfaces and other device-specific parts.
so there are only 3 variants?? if its not sprint or verizon then you must be holding the orignal right? thanks for answering

GSM, Verizon, Sprint. The regular "Galaxy Nexus Android Development" section is for the GSM, the other named ones are for the specific carrier models.
Hello all,
I have a friend with the original Galaxy Note who is running the ParanoidAndroid ROM. I found that same ROM for the Galaxy Note II, but only for the international version.
I also found a ROM I'd prefer over the original ParanoidAndroid ROM, JellyBam. This ROM is also exclusive to the international version of the device.
My question is can I safely flash either of these, or I will I be left with a brick? If I can't flash them how they are, is it possible for me to edit them for it to work on the Sprint version?
EDIT: Utacka, the lead developer for ParanoidAndroid, has confirmed he will port it. The only reason we have to wait is because CM10 isn't officially released for the Sprint Note II yet.
+1 PA would be awesome in this device. Cant wait for it!

Right, but I'm wondering if anyone knows how to port an international ROM over to our devices.

You either become a dev or hope one of the current devs ports it/builds the same rom from the ground up.

I'll try contacting Utacka (developer of ParanoidAndroid) and iGio90 (developer of JellyBam) to see if they could port it over. If that doesn't help, I guess I'll try porting it over.

best of luck to you i hope they can try and get it working but if you where to try porting it that could be difficult and dangerous to test if it worked. however i remember seeing someone say the compiled an aosp rom and everything expect data worked
I'd first start with a call to Sprints international dept. and ask about unlocking gsm radios...I have no idea what they did to turn them off....but I doubt just flashing a new international ROM will get them to work. Remember the International n2 has slightly different hardware iirc.

Besides the radios being different and the removal of the optional charging pins, what other differences are there?

IIRC all Note2s have mostly the same cell radios question is what is enabled by the carrier. Some variants have fm radio tuners and som have dual SIM card slots. I thought earlier the intl note2 had a slightly different SoC but I was temporarily insane at that time.

I'd just be porting the N7100 (International) ROM to the L900 (Sprint), so I'd only have to worry about the differences between those models.
According to Wikipedia:
The only differences are 2G/3G/LTE connectivity and the charging pins.
N7100:
GSM: quad-band
UMTS: quad-band
LTE: no
Charging pins: yes
L900:
GSM: quad-band
CDMA/EVDO: 800, 850, 1900
UMTS: 1900
LTE: 1,900(band 25)
Charging pins: no
Mod(s) please close thread.
So I know Replicant is not available for this phone since it is CDMA. Are there any other OS alternatives for the toro other than Android?
I'm wondering if there is an obscure OS that I haven't heard about yet. Full functionality is not required, just looking for something to play, with a least marginal support.
Ubuntu?

I don't think they officially support the verizon galaxy nexus.. There are pages that show you how to modify the other variants to get it to work though.
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)
