I'd like to root my Evo, can I just root it and then continue doing all my current stuff? I'd just like to have access to root only apps.

Awww, I wish I would have known that before I set everything up.
Thanks. Now I just need to decide if I want to do it.
Well, I was really active back on the PSP when the hacking scene exploded, so I've got a little bit of experience when dealing with troubleshooting and making things work.
I'd love to try out cyanogenmod since that seems to be the most popular and is using Gingerbread, but my main grief right now is that I have to redo all my apps and settings. I suppose it isn't that big of a deal to be able to use the latest and greatest.
So, I'd root. Then make a backup after rooting (a nandroid?). Then install whatever I want, like CM7. If I wanted to go back to normal, would I just restore the nandroid backup?
Thanks for the info...i know when the card is mounted that all the apps on the sd card do not work...my concern was that after I removed phone from comp they did not reappear.
For whatever reason they all came back after a few restarts. I guess I'll just be happy they did and write it off as a fluke.
Thanks again!

Alright, that makes a lot more sense. Thanks for clarifying that parts, it seems titanium backup is a helluva program.
Now, say I wanted to install a completely vanilla Gingerbread ROM after I install (and didn't like CM7). Where would I get that from? Does it have to be specially made for the Evo or is there a location here that has lists of ROMs?
You need to insall an Evo rom for the Evo. The roms are found in zeh development section. You can't post there yet, but you can browse and still download the roms from there.
Well, the only 4G tower is on the other side of my state, so lucky me. As long as 3G and Wi-Fi works, I'm set.
My last question: I can unroot and go from S-OFF to S-ON, correct?
Yep. When you want to unroot, you want to turn security back on (S-off -> s-on) and then flash the stock RUU's that are out there.
Alright, sounds good. I feel a lot better about this now. Can just about everything be upgraded and downgraded? Like, for example, the radio. Can that be updated, then downgraded? I'm not sure why, but just wondering.
And that will wipe everything again lol. And you won't be able to use Titanium Backup to restore since that requires root.
Now what you can do is look into my backup, but that'll back things up, root not required, copy it to your pc to be sure, run the RUU, copy it back, then restore.
is this info up to date?? cause i got 2.3.3 on my evo 4g but i'm trying to root..
How can u get amon,I have cwmode now
