Here is another package enabling root access on the tablet.

Features:

• Sudo gainroot works without having RD-Mode enabled.
• There is the root command which is quicker to type and sources the root .profile among others.
• An rootsh command allows you to quickly run an command as root without having to wait for an root shell. It works like sudo (rootsh <command>.

This package provides the exact same functionality of easyroot (and a slight bit more) and becomeroot (a lot more).

The main reason for this package was to have a package in extras that would give you root without having to leave the application manager.

To install, you can find this in the chinook & diablo extras, which if they are enabled, you should see a package called rootsh showing up in your application manager.

Alternatively, you can just click the the install file from here:
