why is it that some games in the market cant play on rooted phones?
Not only games but apps too. Not sure but may have something to do with security...whatever it is

security? Its not like we can cheat on the game you cant....i think its stupid and then they want you to give a good review.
If your device is rooted you have access to the folder that the app apk file is stored thus you can easily copy it. This can then lead to piracy and so some app devs parent it being installed to stop piracy.

Yes and I think its the wrong way about doing it, I make sure all my apps work on rooted phones (and infact most require it!) there are plenty of other far more clever ways of preventing piracy without impacting on the end user. But this is the choice of the developers

Would be good buy but I got it free with the Samsung promo and all Lets Golf 2 does is tell me I do not have a legal copy despite downloading from a link provided direct by Gameloft.

I guess we have the demo ( Vrz SGT) and if you like it we have to "purchase" directly from gameloft...
I dont have the date plan on SGT from Vrz, so I'm not able to download it from the tag..
I dont know if this is the right place to post this question but here goes
I have a lot of paid apps that I never ever use like beautiful Widgets and launchers and stuff, is there a WY to transfer them to another Google account say my gf so she can have them?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium
Possible, but she will not receive any updates. From the time you transfer them, i would imagine that they would be deemed as warez?
Regards
I was hoping to have them linked to her account so she could get updates and it removed from mine, they should have a gift system put on
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium
Not possible as far as I'm aware. But i agree, the gift system is a good idea.

Good idea, but just to remind you, updates will be impossible. But the App shouldn't change a drastic amount anyway.
Then again you could use your backup periodically to update her apps?

Actually, it depends how trusting and honest your relationship is... You can add your account to her phone, since the market allows for account selection now. This would (of course) give her access to your contacts, gmail, etc. But that is the only way I know to do this.

Why are you so obsessed with pirating stuff? You know it's against the rules, already got in trouble, so you bring up another app that is probably either A, full of malware and crap to steal and your phones info, or B, just links to all kinds of hacked and pirated apps, which may be full of malware.
i was wondering if ----(mod edit) was considered piracy nothing else because i want more apps
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
as well as no ----(mod edit) is free of such things because my phone is protected and will tell me if my info is being taken or if there is a virus

Then install free apps and deal with the ad's, do that thing called get a job and pay money to dev's who spend their hard time making apps. Or, learn C, learn Java, learn android and make all your own apps you want for free.
Cheap,cheap,cheap
That's just a silly question, ---- (mod edit). What do you think that means? When ever I hear that in my head, I think of stolen goods.
Now, these stolen goods are modified to work for free without the Google Play/Market verification. Hmm Modified, lets think that through. When it is modified the person who is modifying the APK file can freely add what he desires, now what can a person add that would affect you and your phone? First of it can steal information such as phone numbers, email address', your IMEI which is very important, maybe your Google account, and maybe throw in some files that's important such as photos. Second of all once he is done robbing you blindly he can simply execute a factory reset. Now heed OUR warning.
thank u for answering my question. i will "heed your warning"
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
ANY FORM of theft is not allowed here. I already warned you. You will be watched closely now, and your ip address will be blocked if you continue to break our rules. If you want more apps, pay for them, or use some of the thousands of free apps. Wanting more apps is not an excuse to steal, of someone steals something, it's because they wanted it.... duh

1) There's a rule you're breaking by mentioning this on xda.
2) There's no benefit for the xda community that you want to circumvent DRM protection.

1) No problem, my response is a lot nicer than how the mods will respond to this inquiry.
2) There are a few games (really game developers) that have started instituting mandatory Internet connection in order to actually play their games. EA Sports, Gameloft, and I'm sure a few others do this to cut down on piracy. It verifies the license online then let's you play.

1.Thanx for being so nice
2.Well i read on this forum that this game works fine on other phones and tablets and noone mentioned this license check issue so that is why i asked
Yeah the forum mods are very very strict on this sort of thing. I got a warning once for simply mentioning "alternative" ways to download something. So I don't think you'll get much help here.
And the other guy is right, a lot of game makers, and developers in general, are requiring their apps to check and make sure the app is genuine or whatever, they want to make sure you paid for it.

i had a quick look for you and its as expected, youll have to go on their individual websites and follow their instructions...
for exmaple...
http://mobilebetting.ladbrokes.com/en/android
sharing apk's are something frowned upon by google and recent updates are doing their best to protect developers and their hard work.
