[Verizon] Using GNex Toolkit v7.0 on ROM'd phone

Just curious if anyone knows... can I still utilize the features of the Galaxy Nexus ToolKit v7.0 (or whatever the latest version is) on my phone if it has a custom ROM? I ask because the program is very specific to ask you which version and build you have so it can do what it does appropriately. Obviously I know i'm on 4.0.4, but i'm using Eclipse 1.6.4 so I don't know if that effects which build number I should tell the toolkit i'm using, or if I can't use the toolkit at all.

See what I mean? Does anybody know?
 
no I just want to be able to do fiddly things like disable the camera shutter sound, make backups, lock/unlock bootloader, flash recoveries, flash to stock, disable boot animation etc.

Careful with the camera sound.. it's illegal in more than a few states/cities to disable it.

if you're already rooted then you already have a recovery flashed. which means you can do backups and flash other recoveries from the one you have installed now.

i have only used ADB to do all of my stuff. I don't really recommend using toolkits or even Wug's application. The reason is because yeah it may be easier on new users but at some point in time if you get yourself into a pickle then you're going to have to learn how to work on the phone via ADB to get out of it. So i recommend that. :)
 
I've always told myself I need to learn how to use ADB and commands better... is there a link somewhere to a basic how-to for adb, like basic commands and prompts etc. so i'm not totally lost the next time I try to do something?

For more specific Galaxy Nexus commands refer to this

there are only a handful of commands you need to know when working with the G Nex. Are you on a Windows PC or Mac? There is a difference. On the PC you just type the command as is. With a Mac or Linux you have to add
./fastboot-mac
./fastboot-linux
./adb-mac
./adb-linux
then the command you want.
