I am relatively new was hoping to get an answer from the veterans here to a couple questions:
- Will rooting, installing apps as system apps or root apps (I.e. root install option on avast or designating APN app as system in the global phone activation hack) affect your ability to get OTAs? it looks like there have been some OTAs in the past and hoping to hear from someone who tried those OTAs over a rooted SGS3 with new system apps - I had read in the One X forum that some OTAs do a checksum of the entire system directory and as a result fails if you install new apps as system or if you are rooted.
- Same question, but as it relates to a future Jelly Bean OTA - would doing any of the above affect ability to get Jelly Bean OTA whenever it is released.
I realize that I will lose root in an OTA, but I am confident the community will have that new software re-rooted in no time so figure it's an acceptable risk to take .
