I have a At&t captivate. I rooted it on the 2.1 firmware and side loaded backbreaker game on the device with success. When fooling around with different roms, I totally crashed my phone when I tried to do a recovery with rom manager.
As a fix I did froyo update/flash with Odin and did super one click root for froyo on it. The phone works great and I can move all my old games/apps back except the backbreaker game. it either says i don't have enough memory on the device, which is not true or the phone reboots totally during installation.

Anybody has I clue what is causing this? I have the feeling it’s maybe got the do because there is still some old data left from other firmware’s/roms. But it could also be that I got no clue what I am talking about :confused:

Thanks in advance,

Some games require a device id, which is wiped when you flash any of the leaked 2.2 roms. I haven't experienced this but others have noted it. If you go back to 2.1 it well repopulate your id. There is an app to pull up your device id and you can enter it manually if you go back to 2.2, but I can't remember the name of the app. Search it in the dev forum.
