Hey guys. So I'm thinking of finally rooting my Rogers 2.3.4 Nexus One after keeping it stock for so long. My main reason for doing so is freeing up internal space on the internal memory. I suppose I'd also enjoy the benefit of further customization as well. But I have a few questions.
Up until now, I've put off rooting because I've glanced at some guides on how to do it and seeing all of the steps is overwhelming because I don't understand any of it. I realize there are steps to follow, but if I accidentally do something wrong with my phone I fear it may be very hard to troubleshoot because of my lack of knowledge on what;s actually happening with my phone.
1. I've heard that a 2.3.4 N1 can and can't be rooted. Which is it?
2. Would you recommend going with a stable or experimental build of CM7?
3. What are CM "nightly" builds?
4. Rooting (provided I set it up right) will give me a longer lasting battery right?
5. How often does CM update, and would I need to update every time a new version is released?
6. I have a Mac, not a PC. Is this going to be a problem in any way for doing the command steps or anything else?
That's it for now, thank a lot!
