Xda team, does anyone know if there is an app or a way to back up my email acct settings so that when I change from one ROM to another or when i wipe, I can easily restore my email accts? I have 5 accts and I update to new Roms constantly doing a full wipe each time. Setting up my email is a pain everytime. Even if it is a paid app, this would be great and i would be willing to donate to a developer whom wants to tackle his.
Any ideas?

Have you tried TitaniumBackup? It may not work going from some roms to others if you're talking about the stock Email app because versions may be different between roms. If after restoring data using TiBu you have problems, you can probably fix that by uninstalling the stock Email app that's in the rom and restoring the app&data of your backup. If on the other hand, you are just talking about Google accounts, TiBu will save those as well.

OK, i have two Gmail accounts on my phone. My apps have all always been under my primary account. For some reason i keep getting update notifications for two apps on my other account and the rest of my updates on my primary.
Any idea how to fix this?
P.s. the two apps are superuser and from manager. Neither will let me uninstall.

I'm having the same problem too, haven't found a solution, I'll post if i come up with anything and will subscribe to this thread.
Thanks,
this is very annoying...
Does anyone else get a force close when trying to open contacts and editing them? I have tried to take the contact data and sync from 2.0.2 since I didn't have the problem on that build. That didn't fix the problem any suggestions I would appreciate it.

On Version 2.02 and 2.03 I am able to edit contacts with no problems. I assign ringtones for my wife. There was a issue with a older version I had with FC's on contact but not on 2.02 or on 2.03
dont delete yahoo mail authenticator. for some reason blur contacts will fc if u delete that. sadly i was not able to restore it using titanium. u may want to push the apk back, or reload ur rom and not delete it.

Including corporate sync
Can't think of them all right now
Been a while since I encountered this problem
Thank you for the suggestion, that did the trick. I had it froze with tb so I just defrosted it.

Sorry to bother everyone, but I've been searching the forums for a while now, and I've used some of the really good ROM's that have been designed, however I recently decided to go back to a Stock ROM.
Yet again, like many people I'm sure, I have become bored of the stock ROM and fancy a change.
I've decided to go for the ICS ROM but reached a dilemma.
I don't want to lose everything such as contacts, messages, etc.
I use titanium backup pro, but even that doesn't save them.
I was wondering if there was a way to do this?
Thanks in advance and sorry for babbling on!

Rom as ICS has not yet been released
KIES backups contacts etc .
jje
Okay that confirms I am confused between ROM and Kernal..I think.
& Oh yeah! I didn't even think of using Kies to backup my contacts!
Thanks!

Rom - custom software build for your phone.
Kernel - base software backbone for your phone.
And in terms of flashing a ROM with data still intact, its possible, but it depends on wether or not the ROM wipes your data. Most likely, it will. Now a kernel is easier. As long as it works with the corresponding ROM, you shouldn't have any trouble.

You can do anything with Titanium Backing up to root. Previously with Odin rooting firmware flash
Move contacts to sim card and also remove it when wiping

Also, try these two from the market:
- SMS Backup & Restore
- Call Logs Backup & Restore
Worked great for me.

I store all my contacts on my google account, so everytime I switch roms/handsets, they just sync down.
With sms, you can either backup using an sms backup app, or mybackup pro does it. Neither require root.
Or...what I do is have backup to gmail installed, which auto backs up all my sms and mms to relevant sms and mms folders on my gmail account. That way I have them always, I do also use mybackup pro just so they are also in my messages app.
1. Sync contacts to Skype/Googlemail(google-backup)
2. Sync Messages to Titanium backup/pro
3. Anything Else won't get lost as you can sync things back. like Email and Calendars.
If you keep Notes, copy and paste things to Google Docs, to get them backed up.
Your Apps will get wiped but will install back with your Gmail.
Rest is the application Data, that will be Wiped.. After all you want a new start...
Just backup your apps with Titanium backup and restore after the flash
My contacts are synchronized with gmail and on simcard
Calender is synched with gmail
Thanks a lot guys. This has really helped. I think I'll back my contacts up to G-mail as that's my main concern. Messages being backed up would be helpful, but not necessary.

Guys,
this may sound like a stupid question, but bear with me.
I just did a nandroid backup because I am thinking about a liquid smooth ROM, want to try a senseless rom to compare to my SoaB. And the question I have is this:
with my Nandroid backup, does that also save contacts and calender information, or is that lost once I wipe? Is it returned if I return to the prior nandroid?
Thanks!
If contacts and calendar are tied to the Gmail account, then they will come back on any ROM flash, after Google sign in.

Yea, except my wifes life is tied to outlook, so to prevent any scheduling mishaps, its "don't link google to outlook". Either that or get a new wife.
Happy wife, happy life.
Thanks!
Unless Outlook server is storing them on the device rather than the server, they will be visible on reconnection to the outlook server.

Restoring a nandroid will put it just the way it was at backup time. Regardless of how your contacts are stored, they will all be there after a restore. Same with all text messages at the time if backup.

Thanks guys! Will see about throwing a senseless rom on this weekend maybe!
Outlook and the server, if set up to store email and calendar artifacts locally, may or may not recreate them after a flash. Why? If ONLY stored locally and not backed up locally, what/how would they reappear? How could server give them something that doesn't exist.
I'd find out for certain exactly how and where the Outlook server stores stuff, to be safe.

I'm not sure what the issue is, but I'm running the Rejuvenated ROM. Fresh install. Restored all apps from Titanium Backup (all backups were from previous Rejuvenated setup - same version and everything). Whenever I open up Talk, it shows all accounts signed out. And when I click on an account, it takes me to the buddy list, but only shows my email address and doesn't sign in. No errors. All other apps work that are tied to my gmail account - the market, email, etc.
I even tried doing a restore from Titanium to a clean install, while skipping everything that has to do with accounts. Still nothing.
Any ideas on how to get this working properly?

I apparently can't post in the development forum, but you mentioned that you were having issues with google talk and gmail. I have had the same issue when flashing roms and then using titanium backup to restore my stuff. What fixed it for me is deleting the google account off the phone and deleting the data out of the google services framework app. Let me know if that works for you.

Had this issue in the past. I stay away from backing up the google apps since during install they ask for permissions.
Agreed, never backup gapps because that will come with issues if its own.
Try going in to recovery and fixing permissions, see if that helps.
