sprint compatible? - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just got the 5x and I'm using it on the sprint network. Are all the roms in development section compatible?

No love for LTE GN?

Why does it seem there is much more support for the GSM version compared to the LTE? I keep seeing radios, kernels, ROMS etc released but none for LTE...

Are you looking in the forum that specifically contains the ROMs for CDA nexus?

The GSM version is international and has been out for a month, whereas the LTE version is a U.S.-only release and has only been out for a week. As such, GSM GNex has both the time and user base advantage. I wouldn't worry about it, though. The LTE version is still a Nexus, so there will be plenty of development for it.

Has it been separated yet? I thought they were working on it and it should be done in a few weeks..
Edit: I can't even find the sticky that stated they were separating them.. I'm confused now lol...

Ya there's a bit of development for the LTE, but most of it goes to the GSM because it's been out a month longer and has a much larger user-base.
Yes its a bug in xda app. Doesn't ever refresh sub forums.

Love my Nexus, part of me wishes I had the GSM model but unlimited on Verizon is amazing on 4g. 4g throughput needs some improvement but overall its still fantastic.
I can't got AT&T or T-Mo...no coverage where I live.

Just wanna confirm I'm not overlooking that 4.03 is not yet available to lte versions?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
No idea where open is looking buy vzw gnex is getting lots of love fast a lot of top devs from other previous vzw devices are chipping in and things are coming along nicely
I wasn't so much talking about the devs as I was mostly referring to the updates such as 4.03 or the new radios etc.. however I didn't know there was another forum for the lte version..

Which phone should I switch to?

Okay so I got my galaxy nexus a couple days ago after looking at a lot of positive posts in the galaxy s2 forum. I love everything about the phone but the network is just effed. I got a strong signal on my sgs 2 almost everywhere which is not the case with this phone. I have tried three radios and different roms but nothing seems to fix it. All other connections work perfectly so I don't think something is wrong with the antenna. What do you guys suggest I should do?

The Next Nexus
Try flashing the various radios in the Dev section, the UGLA one's are made for CA I believe.
Switch to the white nexus, maybe your carrier is racist

Will it be the same as the verizon version when it comes to development?

Mostly.
I'm wondering if the verizon one will drop to $200 to match the sprint one.

Thy are advertising the Sprint version as having the first ever 4.65" HD Super AMOLED display. Does the Verizon version have the same display?
http://img.delivery.net/cm50content/18861/16978/ts2c30_bdy_09.jpg
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.

Will current Verizon galaxy nexus ROMS work on Sprint galaxy nexus?

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

Yet. They don't roam yet. It wouldn't shock me to see Sprint work some kind of agreement with Verizon to get LTE roaming.

G3 ports!

Now that the actual sprint g3 is out... Does anyone plan on porting that to our phones? I've tried the other g3 ports but their simply broken for our sprint variants, but the roms are really cool (go go stupid cdma).

Artifesto, on 2faced.com will work on g2 and yes there are still some bugs. But he is the only one working on it for CDMA. Tried taking the stock sprint g3 rom, but won't load.
He hasn't given up though.

CloudyG3 is working well for me, much better than his other ports. I have 4g, mms, etc, without a problem. I just restored your current apns and use hangouts for messaging.
