Simple Root

No clue, sorry. Most of the guys on XDA just tell you to do full root before doing any of their stuff so I don't know if anyone has tried it.

Could you name one? I'm constantly being asked if rooting the phone through toast method breaks anything. I always tell people "No" because I have yet to see or hear of anyone having an issue if they do all the steps correctly.

If there is an issue, I'd like to add that info to the tutorial so that people are aware of it.
Thanks.

MLB atBat 2010. After I rooted my phone I could no longer find it in the marketplace. AppBrain had it listed, but as it transfered me to the marketplace to purchase, I get an error message that it's not available.

Thanks for the reply.

FYI - Don't know if something changed, but I searched "MLB at bat" and it came right up. I didn't try to install because it's $15, but it seems to be working now.

the ones that it breaks app wise ( example ) are Grooveshark , Geo wallet , and etc. you may not notice them because they dont even show up once your root your phone the long way. i found this out the hard way when i compared my rooted phone to my brothers phone where he could get certain apps of the market but i couldnt

In this episode of Myth Busters, we'll test apps that reportedly break after a full root on the Evo.

Myth #1 - MLB at Bat, doesn't show in the Market.
Myth #2 - Grooveshark, doesn't work or show
Myth #3 - Geowallet, doesn't work or show

Here's my results after testing on a Full Rooted rom. (OMJ's 1.5)

MLB at Bat - Searched "MLB at Bat" and found the app. Didn't install it because it's $15, but it does show up in the Market.
MLB at Bat Myth =

Grooveshark - Searched "Grooveshark" and found it. Installed, signed in, selected a playlist that I've made on my pc in the past, rocked out to some Pearl Jam.
Grooveshark Myth =

Geowallet - Searched "Geo wallet" found only one app called "Geowallet" so I'm assuming that's it. Never tried it before. Installed, created a sign-in. Added a credit card, changed some settings. Closed it, re-opened it, entered my password, and all my settings/stuff were there.
Geo Wallet Myth =

Thanks for watching and stayed tuned for the next episode

I used it, and watched the videos as I was doing it. I was nervous, but it worked, and then I flashed Damage Control 3.2.3. Everything went well. I had a lot of help from a fellow user in this thread.
