also any rom on the latest hboot update of 2.28 will work for you....unless you or on a stockish sense rom and do the NV edit you will only get 2g speeds on the rez with a GSM carrier....I strictly use gsm only and had to do the NV edit to get stable 3g...still trying to get 4g to work stable but having issues....i can suggest a whole plethera of roms that will work for you depending on what your wanting outta the rom besides GSM capabilities

an NV edit is changing of the radio files with cdma workshop or its free nv reader writer program(this will currently get you to 3g speeds...working on 4g fix now) and no gsm only works on latest stock ICS global sense rom or higher AOSP roms....as for the nv edit if you know how to use that program or anything about hex code changing then you can do it...not easy work at all though

As stated above gsm only works on ice cream sandwich global roms or higher...which require you to update your hboot anyway...short answer for you is no...gsm will not function in first ice cream sandwich release or lower roms...including gingerbread

this is for AT&T in usa but im in asiaan gam network{GSM 900 / 1800
} it will work for me?

Uncertain; that demonstrates the NV edits mentioned, but might not want to use those for international carriers. Let REV3NT3CH or someone else experienced give input first. I've only started reading up on GSM recently after switching off of Verizon.

Again in the meantime, likely won't hurt to go ahead and try a relatively new ROM that works on GSM. You should at least get voice, sms, and 2G mobile data on any compatible network. If you want a Sense GSM I suggest either sun_dream's Sense 4.x/5.0 ROMs, newtoroot's newer Sense ROMs if you can locate those, or hawknest's Sense 4.0 EclipticRez v9 (search and it will be on third party websites.) Or to be certain of full functionality of the ROM go with the last stock ROM issued, the ICS Sense 3.6 global release.

EclipticRez is Android ICS 4.0.3, so it isn't as New as some of newtoroot's or sun_dream's ROMs. But I know it runs well and actually had the hidden DIAG menu needed to set up the Rezound's COM ports for NV editing if that is in fact recommended. However, I didn't actually test a proper APN for mobile data on it. I did do a call and sms successfully so it should be good to go on data with a proper APN too.

PM sent. Also if I may call upon others, Newt's XxX and Hawk's EclipticRez seemed virtually similar in appearance and features, but from what I recall EclipticRez was smoother, had less bugs, and supported for longer and more recently than XxX. Anybody else who used both ROMs agree or disagree with that evaluation, or have any extra input on comparisons?

More feedback on sun_dream's ROMs would be good here too as that developer is based in Asia and has worked with newer Sense versions. I'm uncertain if they are "Daily Driver" quality ROMs for international GSM use, however. I've not had enough time with them yet.

I like Sense too and have tried them all. On Sundreams 4.5 for a while now and have no issues. I did put V6 Supercharger on and it works great. I highly recommend it. Both with OneXXX and EclipticRez I had random reboot issues. Plus it works with a TON of custom skins.

Yeah there's no tweaks but I use v6 to speed things up and improve battery and xposed module for button remapping. If you like Sense I can't think of a better ROM
