I515 - "tuna" - "toro" - "mysid"

[Wood]

With respect to the Verizon's Samsung Galaxy Nexus, I gather from several sources on the web that "i515" refers to Samsung's model number for the device and "mysid" refers to the Samsung Factory Software Images for that device. Is this correct? To what do the terms "toro" and "tuna" refer?

Thank you, in advance, for helping this newcomer with advice and direction.

I don't know what Toro is, but during there test builds and trials. The baseband always said tuna. So I imagine tuna was the "code" name they were using for test builds. It may have evolved into something more now, but in the beginning atleast it was just a code or fake baseband.

Toro is a word for fatty tuna. They have code names and the latest devices seem to be variants on tuna. Also Maguro is tuna. here is sample list.

Good information, Paul & Ronnie! I came across "Google Support for Nexus Phones and Flagship Devices" at Factory Images for Nexus Devices - Google Support for Nexus Phones and Flagship Devices - Google Code. From that I gathered that "maguro" applies to GSM/HSPA+ phones while "toro" applies to CDMA/LTE phones which was confirmed by your post, Paul. By "fake baseband", I gather your referring to "an operating system code, still under experimental development"?

Ok I was slightly wrong, it was actually the model number that said tuna.

That was what I was referring to but it looks as though my info was slightly wrong
