hi guys, I'm very new to android and I'm considering buying this phone, i posted a question before this but nobody answered me.

anyway, i was asking if it will be difficult to unlock boot loader and root the nexus with MacOSX ?

also i've been reading around to prepare myself to the world of android and there's a few things i need to ask.

from what i can understand, after rooting, you can install custom ROM which is like customs themes and some performance alteration, am i right ?

next is kernel, kernel is pure performance tweak like giving better battery life and so on. correct ?

so after rooting i can choose a custom ROM and Kernal to install at the same time right ?

Finally, whats the difference between AOKP and AOSP ?

1. Unlock and rooting using MacOSX, shouldn't be that difficult. All the instruction can be found on the internet.
2. Most custom ROMs are there not for the themes but more toward performance, lean and better battery consumption, the same thing goes to the kernel.
3. After rooting, just install custom ROM and then go with the kernel.. after installing the CMW Recovery, you don't really need to use fastboot on your PC .. just copy the .zip files into your /sdcard and use CMW Recovery to flash them into the unit.

AOSP = google stock ROM, AOKP = enhanced AOSP done by Kang Project team.
*
AOSP and AOKP is in the ROM itself is it ? or i have to install them separately from the ROM and Kernel ?

if I'm on fw 4.0.1, do i need to update to 4.0.3 to root ? and in the future if lets say I'm on 4.0.3 rooted nexus and then 4.0.4 fw is release, do i have to reroot all over again ?

AOKP is the ROM itself. The ROM has it own kernel, but if you're thinking of going for another kernel, you could download and install that particular kernel later on.

No, you can root while you're on stock 4.0.1. I've no idea on OTA update, will it remove your rooted unit.. but if you install custom ROM, you won't probably get OTA update, need to do manual update.
*
so the custom roms and kernel, do they require you to update your stock roms before flashing with them ?

For the kernel, you need to check, some require you to have 4.0.3, so you do need to have 4.0.3 ROM, and only option is to go for custom ROM since google hasn't released 4.0.3 ROM. For going to custom ROM, you do not need to update your stock ROM, it will be overwritten to the new ROM that you flash in.
*
i see.

so everytime you flash a custom roms, will it delete everything in your phone ? like contact, sms, apps and so on ?

Most rom cooks will advise you to wipe before flash. But you can choose not to. If the phone fail to reboot than you boot back to recovery to wipe it
Use titanium backup to backup your apps n data. Restoring back is easy

if i backup with Titanium backup and i decided to wipe the phone, wouldn't all the data be deleted from the wiping process ? how come still can backup ?

You just need to reinstall back titanium backup. Your backup data in the internal sd will not be deleted.

Baseband is your phone radio/modem > It controls your phone signals, data reception etc
No need to upgrade if you are happy with it. Upgarde only if you consistently faced line blacKouts, difficulty in getting internet connection on 3 G. But before you change , analyse your problem first over few days to ensure it is not telco issue. Or try it with another telco simcard

*

XXKK6 is a good one as I never have any issues so far with it. XX is Europe based which works very well in all Samsung phones in Asia. I do not know UG is from which country, probably in Latin America as UB is Brazil

so i can install the baseband like how i stall a custom rom ?
