Re: [Rumor] July 11th Update
From my research it is OK to install a OTA update with root installed.
http://forum.androidcentral.com/spr...s-necessary-fot-rooted-phone-accept-otas.html <-- I recommend asking OTA update for root users questions there.
However, if you have installed kernels, Roms, patches whatever it is. You need to remove or return to stock I would assume. Again i'm a n00b coming from the webOS environment. It was much easier to deal with there. But again, OTA with root is fine, you just need to reinstall (same method) root afterwards.
you need a custom kernel for the one that lights up the home/search/back/menu keys at the bottom. there's another one that blinks icons on the actual screen that only requires root, no kernel.
that was actually the second part of my own question in this thread. i want to know if you have to unroot before applying updates (from my own digging around it doesnt look like you do) and i think you still get updates sent because you're just giving yourself access to all the files on the phone when rooting, not necessarily changing anything like you do with ROMs and whatnot.
i guess i'll be my own guinea pig on monday if nobody confirms before then.
