I see there's an OTA coming any day now. I'm not concerned with keeping root. Will the update show up on my rooted device and if so, is it safe to let it install? Or should I install the rooted version?

My ROM an kernel are stock.

root ver would be better
 
I have read that if you are rooted and have clockwork mod installed the update should not take. I hope that is true. I'm looking at other roms, but most are over clocked which I really don't care for.
 
I have rooted my phone using the "auto" method posted in the forum. And other than flashing ClockworkMod Recovery, I have not installed any other system-level files. So I guess I am running a "rooted" version of the stock ROM, correct?

My understanding is that I will not receive the OTA update (because ClockworkMod Recovery has been installed). But I would eventually like to install a rooted version of this update at some point. What are my options? Is there a straightforward method to make that happen?

Thanks!

No ROM is over clocked on its own. That is strictly the Kernel. A rom may come with an OC'd kernel but you can flash any kernel you want to run with it, even the stock one. You can also use an app such as setcpu to set the max freq of your processor so you don't have to OC even if the kernel allows it.

Original question still stands. Can I let the update install?

It will most likely fail, i would unroot and return to stock or wait till a custom flashable version is out ..... Waiting is recommended
