I had done some research on getting larger (14 MB and bigger) apps to install from the Market
on ZTE Racer. Although the procedure was tested I cannot be responsible if something goes
wrong. There are removal instructions too, just look at section C). Any feedback appreciated!


A) Root your device (ie. enable administrator privileges) - only needs to be done once

• On your device, open the Browser app and type in http://tinyurl.com/androot162 and press Go
• When you get Download complete, press on UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5.apk
• Press Install, then Open, then Go Root and wait until the process completes

B) Move the Cache partition to Internal Storage

• From the Market, install Android Terminal Emulator by Jack Palevich
• Open the app and type in the following two letters: su and press Enter
• If you are then asked whether to Allow or Deny, choose Allow
• Carefully and exactly type the following commands and press Enter after each line:
  (If the keyboard disappears, get it back by pressing Menu -> Toggle soft keyboard)
  
  mount -o remount,rw rootfs /
  umount /cache
  rmdir /cache
  mkdir /data/cache
  ln -s /data/cache /cache
  
• You should now be able to install much larger apps from the Market until you reboot
  your device - then section B) has to be repeated starting with step 2.
  This would be the time to try installing Talking Tom, Angry Birds...

C) (Optional) Complete removal instructions

• Turn the device completely off and on again by holding the power button
• Find the Android Terminal Emulator app in the app drawer and run it
• Type su, then Enter, then rm -r /data/cache followed by Enter
• Go to Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, Android Terminal Emulator, Uninstall
• Find the Universal Androot app in the app drawer and open it, then press Undo Root
• Go to Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, Universal Root and press Uninstall
