I officially took the dive! Thanks @
OMJ Rooted and modded! That was one of the easiest roots i've done yet!
Did the tweaked "init.qcom.post_boot.sh", and the moded OMJ Systemui adding wifi tether now!
Edit: could be just me but it seems like its still reloading the pages. It returns to my spot but not after hesitating and loading it all back up. It's much faster but still not just picking up where I left like past evos. What all exactly should that init...file change?
Either way its better than before. May be a fair trade off for the supposed increase in performance and battery life.
