Process just to get root? Can 10.1 be flashed and install apps to internal storage?

[rushless]

I have discovered an apparent reason for sporadic lag issues is the random library syncing. I want to freeze the app with Titanium.

What is the process just to get permanent root so I can use Titanium? I have the image card I used to install the Extras.zip to allow unknown sources. Can I use that for the process?


Update: After reading more, it is maybe too easy when rooted with 2.1 stock to alter the system and cause a stock reset. I wonder if something as simple as using Titanium to freeze the Library and other apps is enough to cause this? Perhaps just installing Titanium alone could as well....

Perhaps another option would be to start from scratch and install 10.1. Is there a way to install 10.1 and still let apps install to the internal storage?

The answer to the rooting question I think you figured out. It is possible to root, then make some changes while rooted, then disable root when finished. Then there is not a danger of inadvertently resetting later.

But I think that TB needs root to be able to freeze apps. Actually some system apps can be disabled in settings/applications without being rooted. It is the same as freezing in TB. And just freezing an app does not cause a reset.

If you want to install CM10.1 so that you use internal storage to store installed apps, use the Hybrid SD. You do not say whether you have an HD or HD+. There are different threads for each.

HD+. I would like to use 10.1 as my installed internal OS, but keep app storage internal. Prefer using the sd for media only. Easy to use different cards then.

Then follow this procedure I just wrote for another user. It will install CM10.1 on internal memory and you can use an ordinary SD to store your media files.

Excellent! I was looking for a sure fire way to have a custom recovery & flash roms ala my phones or other tablets. Thanks!

Ok, so I didn't realize this was just an HD+ only method. I tried flashing the native EMMC & it failed on the assertion that it was Ovation (I guess code name for the HD+? New to the nooks).

Is there a pure overwrite stock with CM10 for HD? I've made a stock back up, familiar with CWM/TWRP, but now I want to flash CM for HD!

Nope. HD+ only for both CM10.1 and CWM on emmc.
