Can I load my game after rooting?

Well I think it can by copying the game file or something else... but I didn't manage to find the folder where the apps installed. (The game use internal memory and can't be moved to external)
If anyone wants to check the game,its caligo chaser, which is a paid game, so use the cracked one...
Sory for this kinda dumb question... I have search it by myself and no hint

you can re-install any app after you have completed the root process. rooting your phone really just means to gain root access thus allowing you to do things not normally possible. it wouldn't interfere with installing a app or anything like that.
i would suggest appmonster or appmonster pro because it will make a backup of every apk (app file) you install. also i wouldn't suggest you tell people on this site to use the hacked version because XDA has a very strict policy against warez.

Oh ok thx for the suggest and the advice
I think it's wise to make the reader understood 'bout the problem i'm facing by providing the step2step way until the condition same like i am now :\
By the way ok then. I'll be sure tp thx you and delete this post as soon as I open my computer

I have tested and confirmed that these are safe to remove. I also did multiple factory reses with zero issues. Now go out and remove all that bloatware.
I am not responsible for anything that you choose to do to your device. This is just a guide nothing more. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

I am just dumb founded by the amount of bull sh*t in the stock Rom. The amount of bloatware in this should be against the law. I will tell you this much. Once i removed this junk my phone is much snappier. Have fun with it guys. Always do a nandroid before removing anything.

I'd like to add SWM-C to the list. I have no idea what it does, but I didn't need it running, so I trashed it.
You can also add "Tmobile Name ID" to the list if you don't use or want T-Mobile's for-pay Caller ID service.

ECID.apk is T-Mobile name id.

How do I remove these app
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA App

Root explorer, ES File Mgr, or System app remover. All apps in the Android market.

While we're at it, you can look Here to see some others that have been found to be safe to remove.
I personally keep some of the ones on both of these threads, but that doesn't mean they can't be removed.
Also, i've removed the genius app and had no troubles with the system running fine.
Can someone teach me how to remove latitude and car home, while keeping maps?

Car home is dockpanel.apk.

Latitude is Maps.apk.

This list I made does not affect the full functionality of the stock ROM. You can remove other stuff BUT you WILL get FCs to vital system files. Stick with this list. I'm much more conservative then that guy you linked me to. But I will add dockpanel.apk. thanx

Much appreciated. Wasn't sure what dockpanel was, and hadn't gotten to axing that one yet in testing.
I guess that means i'm stuck with latitude, since I need Google Maps, but since carhome isn't "supposed" to work with our device according to Google, once it's gone it's toast.
I mentioned earlier that I un-installed the Genius app, tossing carhome gets rid of the rest of that silly talk stuff I can't stand. It's a danged touch device for a reason...lol.
I realize different things work for different people - my buddy loves the talking to it to make it do stuff, just not my thing.
But I need Maps because the feature of emailing places to people has become invaluable in a business sense for me.
We all use Maps, and as people need to be places we just email locations back and forth - someone simply clicks the link in their email and it plots it on the map, and then Navigation automatically computes driving directions.
Auto-sync with email notifies of the new location ready to be input, and you can share the location right from starting in the Maps app itself. When a person gets a new location to go to, they send that and their current to payroll - and their mileage is logged and compensation is computed before they even get to where they are going.
Score a point for Google making my work life much, much easier, and streamlining taxes and payroll.
Edit - i'm the guy I linked you to - another lol.
That thread was a group effort we undertook here to find out what all you could get rid of and still have the system run right. On my working install I use in my day-to-day on the phone, I have a lot of the apps I mentioned were safe to remove in the thread I linked to.
When we first got root on these phones, the day revolutionary was released, it was an all-out delete-fest to figure out what could be safely removed. Some people went ahead and froze things, others went ahead and just uninstalled them. By comparing notes and tinkering with it, we figured out most of what we could toss safely.
Like I said, I use some of the things mentioned to be deleted - but the focus of the thread was what could be removed, and not what personal preferences were.
When i'm doing all my GPS / A-GPS testing, for instance, I restore to my original CWM backup I made right after root and do all my testing with all the stock apps installed. I don't want to contaminate any of the tests by running a custom tweaked install, the only thing i'm trying to tweak in that instance is the GPS stuff i'm working with at the moment. I'm also trying to replicate the environment someone will be in out-of-the-box (or as close as can be since the phone is rooted with CWM installed).
Don't think that I run my phone on the daily with nothing on it - that would be silly and kinda pointless to have a smart phone that didn't do anything. But in the interest of discovery, you kinda have to go beyond what you're happy with to figure it all out. (or at least that makes the most sense to me)
Having tested software for a living for a while...just the habits I got into. Another reason why I go so overboard on backups. You should see all the CWM backups I have stored of this phone in different states.
Just wanted to clear up any confusion, in case you thought I was crazy about trying to rip everything out of the phone indiscriminately - there is a method to the madness (...or is it a madness to the method? Can never tell... )
The things listed that you can delete in the other thread are a pick-and-choose option, you don't have to remove them all.

Using ES File Explorer...
Can't seem to delete anything .... says that it can't be deleted.
Do we need to be S-Off first?
If so, how do we S-Off for Mac users?
There isn't too much clear detailed info for Mac users...frustrating..

There is no Mac version of the Revolutionary S-OFF method. You either have to (A) install Linux, configure it properly and run the Linux version of Revolutionary or (B) install Windows, configure it properly and run the Windows version of Revolutionary.
Your only other option is to wait patiently for HTC to provide a bootloader unlocker for this device which may or may not ever happen. They've released it for the T-Mobile Sensation, but that's a pure HTC phone and not a T-Mobile-branded myTouch model.
I've used Revolutionary on Windows and Linux and both methods are fairly straightforward. You just need to know what you're doing -- if you don't, you probably shouldn't be trying to attain S-OFF in the first place. Just use the permanent temp-root.

maps keeps automatically running in the background of my gf's phone. Is there anyway to stop it from autostarting? I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it as noted in another post elsewhere in this forum.
Thanks.

dockpanel.apk is htcs version of Google's car home. And yes Google's car home works fine on our device. I'm running it with no major issues. I updated op accordingly.

Yes go into settings......applications......running services........find maps.apk.......press it.........then press force stop.......then press clear data. You will need to do this each time with Google maps. It is a battery leech if it runs in the background. Hope this helps

In another thread here, someone also found out that by un-installing the stock Google maps version, then re-downloading it from the market, you solve the problem of it running in the background all the time. Check the battery threads to find the specific posting, I forget which one it was in.
Glad to see we are coming up with all the little details here, everyone has a different approach to solving the problems we come across on this phone. Everyone sharing what they know here is starting to paint a pretty good picture of the whole situation - good job everyone!
(Yep, I know car home works on the device, but once you remove it you won't be able to re-download it from the market because Google has it listed as not working for this phone, so it will block the download - thanks for confirming from another phone that it is indeed working though.)

Exactly.
I'm still trying to break this phone wide open.

I tried that, but I'll try it again, can't hurt. Will report back.

Does anyone know what is DoubleshotZipgroup or DoubleshotAndroidZipgroup? Is it safe to remove?

Apps not allowed on root?

Recently tried installing 9 innings baseball and upon startup of the app it prompted me that "Device is Rooted, Please try again when Unrooted". First, is this legal? Second, is there a way to get around this? Third, How does this app even detect my root?
I'd love to play this game as I heard good things about it!
Thanks in Advance!

been looking for a good baseball app - but I guess I cannot use it now. found this forum though - might have better luck there:
http://global.com2us.com/forum/showthread.php?p=424792

Why would it not be legal? Note, this is the not the same question as whether or not it's the right thing to do. They can stop anyone they want from playing, it's their right. Apps typically block root when they used some type of shared scoring or leaderboard system that is susceptible to client-side hacking. It's a cheap workaround to prevent rooted players from playing rather than having to actually make their app secure.
As for how, a quick Google search turned up this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1101380/determine-if-running-on-a-rooted-device
That's a very simplistic way to check, and even it would be difficult to hide from. I've no doubt companies that are doing this as an anti-hacking measure are doing things more complex than this.

Yea I did a google search too and nothing seemed to help. I tried the temp unroot but that doesn't work. Was wondering if the XDA community knew some better way as I didn't find anything on the forums.
Legality side of it, Yea I suppose your right. But it's like saying I can't install WinAMP on Windows because I changed some registry files. Companies should defiantly not use rooting as an "anti-hacking" tool against their app. Either way they got a bad review because of it, hopefully they will take it into consideration and fix it.
It's the first time I've ever heard of an app not allowed because of root, is that a common thing?

Not really common, per se, but I've heard of it on a couple of other games. It's almost universally games that are susceptible to some type of client side hacking. There are some other apps that will do more specific things, like block you if you try to run an ad blocker, but very few will outright stop you for only rooting.

Hey it WORKED!
What I had to do:
1) Installed SuperSU
2) Went to Settings>Apps>Manage Apps>All and Force Stopped Superuser
3) Opened SuperSU, Settings, and unchecked Enable Superuser.
This app must use the 3rd method listed on shrike1978's link where it checks for su binary. Thankfully because the other two checking methods would be impossible to get around without unrooting. (I'm sure it's not impossible, but more work than I care to do)
Thanks for the help AgentFour20

No problem . Just hit the thanks button , that would be greatly
appreciated .

This could be for a number of reasons but the main one for me is to avoid using special characters in the game title, description, etc. Doing so will cause this error when it comes to compiling (after the 20mins it takes for it to convert the game).

Thanks - I have looked at these threads but still cannot work out what the problem is, ive tried everything!

Hi, i think i know the problem, i had the same issue a couple of months ago, the download you used doesnt let you launch the appliction because its missing fies, i don't understand why.
i don't know where i found it, but i will look and the files you just put in the psxperia folder and it worked.
'.psxperia.247' folder is missing
i will upload it now the full psxperia 2.0 and it should work.
http://www.mediafire.com/?w6cqau7bhgicx8o

The PsxPeria is built in 3 sites. At fitst go to the second one and open the needed psxperia folder(if i remember right its something with crash bandicoot...), and only after that do the rest on the last third site.

thanks all, seems to be working now, its doing something anyway! not sure why my download had some files missing, odd!

Same i never understood that either, glad its working.

20mins to convert a game? How come it takes so long? Mine takes about 30 seconds at most! Converted a small game the other day (might have been motoracer or something) and it took about 10 seconds!

Using root explorer to manually hack games files for in game currency.

This is my first post in the forums and im not sure whether this is in the right place or not so bare with me. I tried searching this topic all over and cant find it anywhere. Can this be done? Is there certain files where the in game currency is located where you can manually hack it? I know it can be done on the iphone because iv done it before. Just not sure if it is possible with the android. Any input would be much appreciated. Thank you

Generally you need to go on the shared preferences of the application you are trying to hack and just go through the files till you find the currency
