Just a little thing I figured out that can give you the ability to save the progress of ANY game.
This can be helpful if you are playing games like where you are about to do this level that is very hard and you want the ability to restart the battle if you die and it's game over.
STEPS:
1. Make sure you have Titanium Backup installed.
2. Where ever you want to restart at, go to that spot or stage or whatever in the game, and then save the game and exit.
3. Go to Titanium Backup, go to the backup/restore tab at the top, go to your game, and click it and press "backup".
4. Then go to your game, and either beat the boss or stage or win the poker game or whatever or lose everything and die.
5. If you died, you can go back to Titanium Backup, go to the same tab and click on the game, and press "restore" data only. Congrats, you get another chance at doing the stage again!
6. If you did beat the stage, you can make another back up!
+1 Thx if this saved you time on your games!
What's the point in saving your game, making a titanium backup, and then restoring the data?
Why can't you just load from your save point again? That's pretty much the idea behind save points....
As one example, this is a great option for Gun Bros, as far as shopping for which Guns you want.
In the game's Store, you get to see the weapons' stats, but the only way to see it in actual action is to buy the thing outright and then start using it.
Right now, there's no option to sell anything you've already bought, which is a pretty big frustration especially later in the game when the decent weapons take a pretty long time to get to because you have to build up the money...So if you buy a weapon and end up wishing you got the other one, then you're SOL.
This Saving and restoring fixes that.
Tonnes of games don't design savepoints.
For example, in "World Series of Poker Holdem", I am playing in the final table of the WOSP tournament. I have pocket Aces, and this guy goes all in. If I call and lose the hand, I will be knocked out, and the $250k I put in will be gone.
Therefore, I save the game, call his all-in, and if I lose, I can restore the game and NOT call his all in.
kind of pointless
I thought that was the point of games.......... To play them

Well yeah, but some people cheat before the beat it and some people cheat after the beat it. All in all, it doesn't matter. He is just telling us how there is a loophole with games on Android. That's all.

Probably the same kind of folks that buy a game, the walkthrough, and find all of the cheat codes before even starting.
I've given myself more gold in games before to decrease the PAIN of moving through a game, and a few I've bumped up Experience to reduce the tedious "go outside town, fight until you're nearly dead, come back and rest, repeat until you're level X" but otherwise, it's no fun if you cheat every step of the way.

hehe don't think I'm the master... I can't reach dificult level but... it's still funny!
My new favorite game!
Thanks
Great game, thanks
Really like the game. Good work!i! I agree, it's certainly challenging =D
Fun game, really makes you think fast. Only problem I noticed is after I lose, if I hit the second button from the left, I immediately get a force close. Phone is a Moto Droid running UD8.

Hello thanks for the words, it's always nice to see how our works is funny and interesting for people.
About the problem we will study it, but at the moment i can't reproduce it. My htc desire works great with global save feature and i have notice that others devices do too.
Between if you don't care I will pm you in order to ask you about some additional information.
On my droid incredible Froyo i've got an issue where it says I lose before the timer runs out. I'll play the first level with time to spare, but the second one stops ans says I lose when it shows even up to 7 seconds left sometimes.

Just a possibility (may not necessarily be the case), but the game will end if you enter in the wrong number of boxes.

Yes, if you enter a number over the solution, you will loose. But if you enter a
lower one, you will be able to erase and enter again your solution. but you can not
be exceed the good number.
Between i will decrease the dificulty of the game, at least i will give more times
each level.
I want see you all enjoing the game, not crying becouse of the game is extremally hard even for us
Would it be possible to add a difficulty option? Maybe label the current difficulty as 'Hard' and create an 'Easy' difficulty that gives the player more time. Just throwing ideas out there.
really enjoying the game!
i'm having the same problem as Ross LH. when i try to submit my score, it hangs and then force closes. i'm using a stock captivate.
why is this app asking permission for phone state and personal information. It's just a game.

They are required for ads purpose. I would prefer remove them...but
Kenzilab's projects need some support.
We have released a new version of CrazyBoxes that fixes the problem that appears
when you try to save your score.
Soon, maybe tomorrow, we will add more CrazyBoxes (images with cubes) to the game
We want to keep the game updated.

Adds usually need rough location and maybe internet access. Why would then need personal information?
So I play alot of games on my xoom and wasn't really worried about losing the data for them. Games such as Bakery story Restaurant Story and Paradise island I didnt want to lose data. I looked it up and it said bakery story and restaurant story save the data on the phone even with a restart it would still be on there. When I got my xoom running though it was GONE! I just spent $7 for coins or whatever they are on paradise island and now its gone! wth suggestions?
Edit: Might have to do with my problem but on the online market it now says VERIZON Xoom and I have the wifi version.
not sure what you can do now..... but get titanium backup so this wont happen again. It will let u back all data in the event this happens you can just restore
Paradise Island help
I haven't played the other games mentioned, but I do have Paradise Island. I know it doesn't help now, but in the future if you have root, you can copy your saves out of /data/data/com.seventeenbullets.android.island/files. Another thing that you can do now to get back to where you were is to set up the things that you want on your island, then go to settings and change the date to one day ahead and submit and then go back to the game. It will cause a force close if you are suppose to get a reward for coming back multiple days in a row on that day. Just reopen the game, collect your income, make your tweaks and repeat. Once you think you have enough money or island pia (whatever they are called, you can start getting these when you buy a business center or the bank) you can change your date back to the current date (make sure all buildings are repaired before you do this). You will then notice that the time until collect on things are superlong. Just send each building to the storage and then replace it back down where you want it. The timer will start over. The only thing is that you will not get the multi day rewards again until you make it back to the date you stopped at originally.
Another hint is that moving plants that are already on your land around counts as moving buildings for the achievement, so you can get a loarge some of money from doing that with no money involved until you get all levels of the acheivement. Hope some of this info/cheats help.
Paradise Island is the one game I had invested time in and I lost all of it after 3.1 . Thats with a Titanium Backup. I can restore my backup but it FCs every time I run the game.
Fresh market install works, but my save is gone.
I can't for the life of me find the directory on the Xoom where PI is installed....

Just use the backup option in settings, This will back up eveything including memory cards to your SD Card. And ofcourse the memory cards work
hi guys, wanna ask, is there any cheating tool for wp7? e.g. there is Sorcerer Game Cheating Tool for symbian that can change any values it is like cheat engine for pc. i have full unlock, so maybe in registry or somewhere else it's possible to do? just interesting ty
You could do it manually by modifying game files, but no, there's no "tool" for it that I'm aware of. I personally have absolutely no interest in developing one, either, especially because that kind of thing gets your box Live account banned (if you use it to gain achievements).
Generally speaking, games (being third-party Marketplace apps) have no access to the registry.
It is possable with SOME games. They use XML files to to do backups. It's in the protected storage for the games. If you phone is fully unlocked browse around your phone then look in each game to see if you can find the save files and open them to see if you can edit them.
I have done this on a few games that I got screwed on. One was a blackscreen issue and I could not get my final achivement and the other was a app bug that they updated, so I did the minor cheat to get me back to where I was. For example, I set the games scrore right before the achivement, so when I Started the game, I didn't have to do much to get the score.
You need to be carefull on what you do, if you get an achivement that you should not of gotten before another one, it could flag you and get banned or even lose all your gamer score.

I'm not going to help you with exactly how to "attempt it" This will get you started...
Go on windowsphone.com browse to your app..
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/d9ff60f1-cece-45ab-80af-7397dd2072c2
d9ff60f1-cece-45ab-80af-7397dd2072c2 is the game ID
Browse on your phone where the apps are find the Game ID, then see if you can find save file (some say "save" in the name), check to see if you can edit it.
That will get you started but, I'm not going to do it for you. There is a newer file explorer that has a edit feature built in, that is what I used to do it...
Dont forget to hit thanks if this helped !
Good luck
So I tried using multiwindow to run 2 games (one of the has an AI function so i would like to run that while I play other games or do other stuff), but I noticed that only 1 game was running at a time (the other one is frozen, but resumes after switching/tapping that screen). Same thing happens when you press home - it doesnt continue to run in the background.

Sounds like you are trying to cheat by having a game farm for you, developers have thought about that, that's why most games won't let you run in a pop-up window either. Not to mention you're not going to get much help on XDA to try to cheat at a game.

The game feature literally lets you farm by pushing an "AI" button. I'm not cheating. I just want to be able to farm while reading manga or something. In the end I just want to avoid using two devices if I can multitask on my phone.

I understand that, I'm not saying using the AI function in itself is cheating, the fact you are trying to game the system and give yourself an unfair advantage by trying to farm without actually being in the game and "playing" is what I am referring to.
