How do you know if the ROM is CDMA or GSM?

The ROMs are separated by sections for CDMA and GSM phones, most ROMs also have CDMA or GSM in the thread title. Any particular ROM you're looking at?

According to your sig, your XT910 is GSM. You will need a GSM rom

It's in your settings. About phone page. I saw it in your tapatalk sig, it says XT910. You may not see it on your phone but I see it on a PC

Settings > About Phone

Should have all the info in there as to if you're using a GSM or CDMA device.

CDMA and GSM are different radio communication standards. GSM requires a SIM card and is a global standard, while CDMA doesn't use a SIM card and mostly used in the US. So the easy way to tell is if you have a SIM card or not.
If I'm mistaken, will someone correct me.
