Confirmed: TB and Root Explorer work. SetCPU FC. Wireless tether needs system modification

Thanks for your contribution. Just one thing: I haven't looked, so can you confirm that the script you mention really is equivalent to the approach outlined in this thread, ie: that it does not modify anything in /system ?
If your script is something different, then it would be pretty much off-topic here. But if it's the same thing, then I'll add a link to it in the OP, to make Windows users' lives easier
Cool, root actually sticks now. I'll try some things out now that it's reliable.
Hmm no, as far as I see, it is *not* the same thing. It modifies /system, so it will cease to work after a while.
Yes, in my view 100% reliability (at the cost of some root apps not working right now) is better than losing root randomly + having to reboot each time.
But choice is good: other users may have completely different needs, of course.
Thanks so much Joel, I really felt lost without my Titanium Backup Pro! It's the first time I've had an unrooted phone since just before Jesus Freak gve us root on our G1s, and it's amazing how many things I always took for granted about root.
Ah yeah, I didn't think about AdFree needing system. I think reliable root is best for now. That way at least SOME things work reliably. I am sure that teamwin will get it working though. Nice to have the community sharing files on this, gets the work done a lot faster.Thanks for your feedback. I hadn't tested AdFree, but I'm not surprised here. This solution is a willful compromise: we refrain from modifying /system, and thus we gain 100% reliability - but at the same time we lose compatibility with some root apps, because they often rely on BusyBox being in /system (or at least in $PATH).
I have contacted @agrabren on Twitter with a link to this thread. I haven't looked into it, but if #teamwin can come up with a way to execute adb commands locally on the phone, it could all be done automatically at boot. Hopefully they'll add a configuration choice such as:
Method 1: Full compatibility with root apps, system BusyBox, "ephemeral" root
Method 2: Compatibility with *some* root apps, no system BusyBox, 100% reliable root
Let's see how it goes... but I know which method I'd personally use
How do you make it autostart?autostarts works 100%
thanks

I believe that he is referring to this app that requires root access:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts&feature=search_result
It allows you to control which apps boot when you start up the phone.
I think he means the app autostart works with this. Not making the root autostart
So has anyone tried this on the evo3d?

EDIT: Does not seem to work for AdFree or checking SU in terminal emulator.

Paul O'Brien, Modaco's founder, wrote a temp root app last year called Visionary. It could temp root each time you rebooted the device. Contact him, together you might be able to do it.

agrabren is also working on getting Fre3vo in an apk to start on a reboot and get root apps working.
