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 ? This post has been edited by AlphaOmega001: Jan 23 2012, 05:21 PM |

QUOTE(wiraone @ Jan 23 2012, 05:29 PM) 1. Unlock and rooting using MacOSX, shouldn't be that difficult. All the instruction can be found on the internet. AOSP and AOKP is in the ROM itself is it ? or i have to install them separately from the ROM and Kernel ?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. 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 ? |

QUOTE(wiraone @ Jan 23 2012, 05:37 PM) 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. so the custom roms and kernel, do they require you to update your stock roms before flashing with them ?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. |

QUOTE(wiraone @ Jan 23 2012, 05:46 PM) 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 ? |

QUOTE(benny888 @ Jan 23 2012, 06:37 PM) 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 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 ?Use titanium backup to backup your apps n data. Restoring back is easy |

QUOTE(benny888 @ Feb 1 2012, 10:27 PM) Baseband is your phone radio/modem > It controls your phone signals, data reception etc how to choose the baseband ? there are a lot out there ? XXKK6 ? UGKL1 ? UGKK7 ?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 Added on February 1, 2012, 10:28 pm What is your baseband now ? And on what rom ? |

QUOTE(benny888 @ Feb 1 2012, 10:40 PM) 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 ? |
