Welcome to GNex forum mate.
1. Maguro is GSM galaxy nexus, and yakju is non playstore galaxy nexus, there is takju too which is playstore, the different between them is just google wallet app. You can switch takju to yakju and vice versa easily.
2. Yes, already explained above
3. You can flash radio either from recovery (cwm or twrp) or fastboot command, you can find more info about radio and baseband on sticky thread in development forum.
4. Use aokp or other custom rom which have that feature, there is a settings to set that easily. Other way is framework and systemUI modification, which is too long to explain here.
There is a bunch of rom to flash, try it one by one when you getting bored with one try another one, you will find out what the best rom for you.
I would recommend you to try latest Xylon for 4.2 rom and darkPA for 4.1.2 rom.

I have few more questions...
1. Gnex dosn't supports usb otg officially so if i am rooted and use chainfire's app mount stick .. it will work? Or i need some kernel support too...
2. Can i play 1080p videos in video player... does it lag or plays smooth?
I am very exited... i always wanted stock android rom feel but curse this touchwiz...

1. Galaxy nexus does support USB otg by default. The only thing missing is a proper framework for mounting expandable storage like USB sticks from USB otg, which is what stick mount provides, so yes you should just need root
2. The player will play 1080p just fine, however many audio codec isn't supported so you will want to get a third party player like MX player from the play store.

Hey guys one more question...
when i will get my nexus it will have ics so should i wait for ota updates or flash factory image for jb...
as i want jb as soon as i start using my phone...
Does it download whole stock rom every time i update using ota as it will update in pattern of 4.1.1>4.1.2>4.2.0>4.2.2
so will it take lots of time during ota...
i know it will download only changed files during ota but as it will be changing whole os version so it would be heavy...

May I suggest you to flash stock image, you would be set in no time, but are you sure the phone you are going to get is still on ICS ?
I had to do it because of a wrong move in recovery, and now, my phone is acting as fresh as ever, just like one year ago. This phone got better and better through software updates, so enjoy it almost instantly with its newer software version .

and also does locking bootloader also wipes sd-card...
Sorry if these questions are already answered... plz give me link...

Have you looked at this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540998
It has a couple different Roms with the newest 4.3 ota firmware WITHOUT flashing the bootloaders. I personally had used LoserSkaters version and enewmans version with no real issues at all (other than I cannot flash my vr theme, but that might be something on my end). As far as being stable and everything working I have no problems.

First of, don't hijack threads, if you have a question start a new one.
And second, this is the reason I don't use cynanogen mod. There's a lot of random bugs.
And third, you might want to update to the latest version of cynanogen mod. Cm7 is pretty old.

Sorry for bombarding the forum with questions. As I've mentioned in a previous thread I just bought the gnex as a replacement since I'm grandfathered in and can't afford a new phone.
Anyway, sorry about that. Is there a way to get adobe flash without rooting. Can a apk work, if so could someone send it to me? I tried getting it via Google play previously installed apps but it won't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Flash is no longer supported beyond jellybean
There is a workaround follow the guide I linked to get flash working.
you can get the apk from official flash website, I use firefox browser after installing flash apk and it works just fine(most of time) I'm on 4.4 based rom
wish Adobe still officially supported Linux in general
Thanks both of you. I do intend on rooting just haven't had the time.
As for the .apk. Do you know if it will work with with 4.2.2 and other browsers or just FF?
Thanks.
PS
You said supported beyond JB. I'm on JB, 4.2.2

rooting your galaxy nexus will take no time at all
once you've unlocked bootloader and installed custom recovery(ALL EXTREMELY SIMPLE) you can just flash either the superuser root zip if you plan to stay stock, or ANY of the roms available all seem to come with root(except shiny, which to root you just flash the su zip after)
just wanted to let you know that it's NOTHING to be stressed about, EXTREMELY easy to do ANYTHING on the Gnex
I am POSITIVE it will NOT work with Chrome. chrome on android doesn't support flash playback at all, never has, go figure huh? the desktop chrome comes with it's OWN flash version, but not for android lol!
it SHOULD however work with the aosp stock browser, firefox, and dolphin browser(i think dolphin browser has a special add-on to support using flash)
and also maybe opera and some others. any specific one you were thinking about?
I can send ya the apk I use personally if you want it, no need to root to install it, just enable unknown sources in security settings in main settings, install the apk, and I usually reboot after that just to be "sure" is being recognized by browser apps.
and I'm not CERTAIN, but I think official support was stopped at/after.initial release of 4.1 JB, JB held the name from 4.1-4.3
Do you still need flash? I havent installed it and have no issues at all. Maybe it is included in the browser?

Just stumbled across something in which I thought I would share....I looked into the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 forum, specifically in the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 Original Android Development, and noticed there is a build available of Cyanogenmod 12 using Lollipop 5.0!! The topic is labeled "Cyanogenmod 12." Since AT&T SG3 Roms work on our T999 phones, I thought I'd give it a shot. It works like butter! The build available is build #4, and it is pretty stable for being in the alpha stages. Only problem is that the stock camera doesn't work properly, but if you download the Nexus Camera from the play store, that one works just fine. Just make sure to download the CM12 build, the gapps, and the SuperSU flashable zip, and you'll be in business. The root in the build itself doesn't work properly, which is why the SuperSU flash is needed. Flash the build, then flash the gapps, then flash the SuperSU. It takes some time for it to boot, took me around 8-9 minutes, and some have reported having to pull the battery once, but it does boot up and works. You may notice an error while flashing that says something about /data locked or busy, but that doesn't stop the flash, and it still works just fine, so don't worry about that error. Make sure to Nandroid first before flashing....always Nandroid....but there you go. Everyone have fun!!!!
I downloaded but installation aborted stating error as Rom is for ATT, lte and this device is tmo hence operation aborted
I am on latest bootloader and modem for t-999
Any advice
change the updater script to include your device/model (?)
"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
I used the download as is, and just flashed it without changing anything and it worked for me. I am using Philz touch recovery, latest version. It only gave a /data error but kept flashing after. Then flashed the gapps and the supersu and it booted up for me just fine. WiFi works, GPS works, calls work, the only thing not working is the camera and screenshots.

I'm at Cyanogenmod's website, all I see is version 11..
Please post the link..
It's a port so you won't find it on cyanogenmod website... My description says where to find it and what the thread is named... Please read it. Lol. And my signature says I'm using an i747 but I'm on a t999l. The port labels my phone as an i747 but works just fine. Lol

This port is not meant for T Mobile, just AT&T at the moment..
my bad, thinking of editing bootloader version ; not carrier.
good catch. thanks.
"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
(removed). Using two 2.8 I am unable to flash said rom with the same error everytime
This does work on t999. I'm using it now. Check out the q&a thread where I posted this as well and others are using it and loving it. All i747 ROMs can be flashed on t999 phones as long as it doesn't contain radios or i747 specific hardware elements. The ROMs are just the software and are compatible. Don't know about t999v but t999 and t999l can use this ROM. I'm on the build 5 and it works great. No fc and only issues are camera not working, just get the nexus camera from play store it works, and a little lag on app choice screens but that is tolerable.

Like any other rom. Works on my T999L.
I used es file explorer changed all d2att to d2tmo and reziped file still won't flash. What am i doing wrong. Phone is the original t999 running cm11 latest nightly.
are you sure it stuck when you rezipped? myself have had to use different editor to get changes to stick. just my experience.
personally i use total commander and works well.

Thanks for the help. I got it working.
This liquid smooth, it would be good if someone could post this on the t999l forum, or a good [TUT] about phone we can crossflash, I honestly thought all development was dead on the t999l and had almost given up all hope of seeing 5.0 on my phone. Thank you for posting, this probably saved me the $800 dollars i would have spent on an iPhone! :good:

Yes, Samsung do not provide updates anymore for the s4 mini.
You should be able to install CM13, like the rest of us.
Which method did you use to root? Which procedure are you following & what is actually failing? Do you have custom recovery installed?
I just followed Arco's recovery root thread & used the s4mini rootkit v2. Later installed TWRP and CM13.

It sounds like you may have followed the "old" method, there are several (often stolen from Arco with no credit given to him) still on the net & even one on xda that uses older version of Odin that does not work. You need Odin 3.09 and to follow the original thread
