How come the gsm nexus s has more/cooler roms than the ns4g. Is there anyway or anyone who will port them over to the NS4G?

The GSM nexus s had a 4 month head start. It is also sold worldwide where the cdma version is only sold in the US.

So there is more roms to come to the ns4g in the future?
Yes, I in the meantime there is already some quality stuff.

This is one time where i'm actually happy about the quality of the few ROMs for the NS4G vs the quantity of ROMs. I see MIUI (awesome, my favourite) and i think 3 or 4 other ROMs and they're all top quality stuff.
Being already AOSP i don't think there's much to change really.
The Quality is pretty good i love Miui i used to have it on my captivate but one of the main reasons why i got ns4g was because of the 4g but miui doesnt support it yet so i rather have a themed rom that has that working

When is there going to be a NS4G forum?
i don't think we need one
it's the same phone
only the radio is different

He's right it would actually be better to keep the community tighter

That's like making a NS I9023 forum. The nexus s forums needs as many people as possible.

IMO this forum should be merged with Nexus 1 forum
and call it Nexus
then we can put back every developer into the same place, and encourages more dev & support to release ROMs that are cross platform (hardware) compatible

They are not the same device.
Obviously a Nexus S ROM is not going to work on a Nexus S 4G.
Really needs to be its own forum. Or at least subforum.
When I get my Nexus S 4G I don't want to have to weed through a bunch of GSM ROMs and kernels I can't use before I find something I can flash on my phone.

according to what was mentioned in other topics about the 4G version it is still a GSM radio, just 4G instead of 3G
it's not a CDMA radio if that's what you had in mind

I thought it was a CDMA radio? I know the AT&T one is the same but the Sprint version has to be totally different or no?

The Nexus S 4G is a CDMA enabled device available on Sprint. The 4G is powered by WIMAX. To my knowledge, there is no plans for a 4G Nexus S on GSM (HSPA+). The AT&T Nexus S will be capped at 7.2 DL speed same as the TMO variation.
I think they should just have the nexus s and nexus s 4g in the same thread. They both are the same just different radios like the G2 and Desire Z are. The only problem I can see from this is that on some Roms the wimax might not work like on the Og Evo..

there should be one forum for nexus devices, and a sub forum in each, like "Nexus One.... Nexus S...Nexus S (CDMA)"

Don't want to bring this back if there is no reason, but with the release coming next week I would love to see a new forum for the Nexus S 4G.
Agreed... need seprate forum.
You all might be right about being the same as ]ntil some poor sap flashes the wronge rom and kernel and bricks there phone.
Also... won't the kernel be diff because of the wimax and rom will have coding for wimax so they are not interchangable. Its not like its an app that you can just flash between all the nexus's. Just because thedy are built on same platform does not make them same.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
I'm kind of thinking Google will restrain a ton of modifications to the kernel itself. We will have to see when the devices come out just how different they really are, but as of now, I vote on keeping them together to keep the developer base stronger.

what a horrible idea
Is there a stable sense rom out for the nexus s 4g?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
just download from 4shared.com yhe fancy widget...then use the htc theme
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
No, when the GSM version has a stable version so will we. The same developer is working on it for both.
Btw, this is the development forum. Its not for questions.
There isn't a Sense ROM for the nexus S 4G .. that I've heard of at least.
Here's the thread with most, if not all of the available ROMs as of now:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071500
If you don't care about 4G, try out MIUI.
And use the questions and answers section, not development
edit: way beat me to it.
My bad y'all I'm new to this forum thing. I'm using miui now. Lol

I thought the point of this phone was to not have Sense...
Or Touchwiz, or whatever custom UI/framework OEMs put on their phones.
But especially Sense.

I have an evo and my ns4g and I'm just curious as to why there is such a lack of roms for nexus s 4g. There's tons of roms for evo but very few for ns4g. Dev support Is great quick to fix issues but little variety. Or is there somewhere I'm not looking because I've searched endlessly here and on Google and androidforum but I only find a couple of roms

People who make ROMs for other phones generally want an AOSP experience, which we as Nexus owners have out of the box.
What are you looking for in a ROM that your not finding exactly?
Also take a read here, as this was previously discussed:

I'm not looking for anything in particular its just nice to have an option to change the look on your phone or change this or that like I do with the evo and android kitchen

EVO has sense. Nexus does not. 75% of the roms for the EVO are sense based.

I don't see how this is related to a ROM, it's more a theme thing.

Hey guys,
So I keep seeing this Nexus Sense Rom pop up all over the place, but it seems like it has disappeared and can't be downloaded anymore for flashing. I just got the Nexus on AT&T so go easy on me, as this may be old news...lol.
I remember seeing a video, not too long ago, showing off a sense rom on the ns but I'm not sure if that ever made it to prime time here on xda. Its possible that it did but alluded me if it was a non 4g build but the closest thing I recall to that is a port from the Droid x to the ns4g. I believe its called nexusblur or something to that effect.... it was a solid port btw- only missing a few things like 4g and maybe wifi. Also worth noting that I'm pretty sure it never made its way over to your device on the non 4g side of things. Hope that helps

just asking because I'm needing an new back up phone.
I'd assume Nexus ones.
Galaxy s and Nexus s as far as i know. Correct me if I'm wrong.
S2 as well, but Nexus is the only true dev-open phone.
well not the t-mobile ssgs2
i have the Samsung galaxy 2 and there noo great roms i am using beast mod 4..2 i like beast mod but i am looking for a back up phone that is well dev'ed so i can have a stable more problem free phone i would like to get a droid 2 global or a my side kick 4g
p.s witch phone is better side kick or droid 2 global
if you really like to taste a lot of roms and have the latest builds i think ill choose somethink like nexus s or galaxy nexus, they are google phones, so they will get the latest updates.
Hmmm the best is the HTC HD2. It get everything fast

I don't know that quantity is better then quality. ROMS for thunderbolt seem as solid as the phone itself.
