Root took the leap! and now for a few questions

[yohanevindra]

so i jus rooted my nexus one, and i actually paused for a few minutes at the screen where they say the warranty is void...but i was jus waiting for all the goodies at the other side...

and i was surprised how market automatically downloaded all my apps for me, and now i can install my apps on the sd card as well!

ok..so i got a few questions...

i still have the stock 4gb card, but i hope to save up some money and go the whole way and buy a 32gb card! if and when i do change my sd card, is it jus a case of copying the files from one to the other?

also, i saw in some threads and other places that to install on the sd card you need to partition it, but i didnt do anything like that, but rather i used ModInstallLocation which is available in the market...

with regard to updates, will i get automatic updates now that im rooted?or will i have to go through the whole manual update process?

and if i opt to install a custom ROM such as cyanogen, then its just a case of updating the cyanogen each time right?cos then each google release doesnt really matter?and would cyanogen download all my apps for me?

thanks in advance guys!

Hello,
For the SD card all you have to do is copy the files over. Its gonna take a while!

You will not get OTA updates unless you use the stock ROM.

If you install a custom ROM and you want to update the same ROM you wouldn't need to wipe so you would still have the same settings and apps.
