Changing GMAIL account to android? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to change my email?
I just created my new gmail, i thought my old one was a bit too... childish name... so anyways How would I remove the other one and add this new one
Obviously you can odin and then reflash to CM7 and add a new account, but Is there a way to just do it without odin?

Go to Settings/Account and sync; there is an option to add a new account.

but can i completely remove the other one after adding the new one?
edit: added my new accoyunt but cannot remove the original
tells me i have to reset phone to factory default.
ANY other way?

sorry dude, as far as i know you have to reflash.

why not just use both?
I have 3.
Set your old one to only sync gmail (assuming people are still emailing it).
I imagine all your paid apps are tied to it also.

Only way: reset phone to factory default.
Remember backup first.

I'm an organized guy, i really don't like having things i'll never use.
Thanks guys, I odin'd haven't used odin in over 3 months thanks to CM7 haha.
time to root, and then install clockwork recovery and flash cm7 *sigh*

^ if you use my guide, you probably don't need to since you've been here, I'd be curious how it flows for you.
also, having multiple gmail accounts does not hinder organization, at all. I know because I am crazy A-type.

Why would you Odin? In cwm, wipe data/factory reset will get you to where you need to be.

[Q] How do I bypass Activation screen permenently

Is there a way to permanently disable the activation screen?
I have a Facinate that I just want to use WiFi ... no phone, no 3g... no activation.
I know I can dial *#83786633... but I do not want to do this every time I reboot the phone.
I guess this is a dead question really for me ... if you install a custom ROM it fixes what I need.
It would be nice to know how to do this with a stock ROM if anyone has an answer that might help someone else.
it would involve removing/freezing SetupWizard.apk, which requires root.
Just create another gmail account and never check it.
good day.

Titanium Backup is idiot

I´ve made titanium backup of all my apps (stock froyo rom) then installed Bi-Winning rom and now I can´t restore my phone to how it was with Titanium, it doesn´t lists any of the apps I had installed neither the "interface" settings (volume, profiles, icon settings), the stupid titanium backup lost all my data and apps, where are them??? I have backup them!!!
do you have a filter on? Did you go menu, batch, restore missing?
you never restore system apps.

Also, Before flashing anything new .... ALWAYS.... just copy everything on to your computer in a folder. Then, if the flashing cause any data loss you also have a secure back up to restore from. BUT 1st follow s15274 advice, it is the obvious do that first

Yes I have all the filters set to ALL. Man this program is so idiot. I hate it. It doesn´t work. You install a new ROM and all your apps are missing, there´s no backup. I´m gonna destroy this thing. Could it be a problem because I did a "restore factory/clear data" on CWR before flashing the new ROM? or this idiot backup program is just a **** plain and simple? WHERE IS MY STUFF??

I don´t know why people post when they don´t know exactly what they are saying. I have just uninstalled Titanium PRO and re-installed Titanium non-pro and all my apps appear again. Very strange. Could it be something related to a "root" version of the non-pro? Well the PRO should also be root.

I was referring to someone saying that cwm factory reset would delete the titanium backup files.
I still don´t understand how it´s possible that the PRO doesn´t show my backup files and the non-pro does.

ok so I´m idiot and you are all smart guys. So tell me, why the PRO doesn´t show my saved apps and the non-pro does? I have made the backup using the exact same PRO installation file.

There aren't separate pro and non-pro apps. All the pro app does is unlock features in the base app. So idk what you screwed up but you did somewhere. Did you legitimately buy the pro app or sideload it?

So I guess trying to avoid a flame war the op sent me a pm that he did indeed sideload the app. Hence this thread was opened because he was mad that his stolen app did not function properly. Therefore I conclude that the op = idiot

This thread is what's wrong with xda.
soon as i read the thread title... i knew something was wrong.
just to make this thread a little worth, I´ve found a way of restoring all the apps without the annoying titanium messages for each app. Here is how:
Make a backup with both MyBackup root and titanium backup free, for both app + data.
After installing a new rom, perform the restore of app+data first in MyBackup. It will not popup any button durring the restore, but it will fail to restore apps settings (data). After that, run the batch restore operation in Titanium but in the last screen select just "data", not app+data. It will restore all apps settings (data) correctly. All free.
Congratulations...you found a way to profit from other people's work without having to give anything in return.
If you're going to be a pirate, no one can stop you. Just keep it to yourself and don't come whining for help when it bites you in the butt.
Yep:

Funny situation is going on there mate. If sync is enabled (background sync+gmail sync) and when u have a 'working' connection, it should trigger and sync on every task u do.
Possible multiple things u can try :
-Wipe gmail app
-Reinstall gmail or update or anything that changes ur current gmail version
- last case scenario, wipe whole phone and reinstall rom or diff firmware?
Thats all i can say since its a rare issue indeed

This happened to me on my tablet before we got CWM and I was pushing my mods. It's just something corrupt. Reinstall the Google Apps and clear your dilvak cache. If that dosent do it. Its wipe time.

Everytime when I install a new rom, no matter I install GAAPS, not intall my backup and have to install my apps manually. I revise in Google Play and not find any option to desactivate the option.

Mine aren't coming down either! I use app2zip now. It makes a flashable zip file you flash after you flash the Rom.and it's free in the play store
I have always used titanium backup it is well worth the money and does everything you can possibly need (including making a flash able zip of apps)

for some reason i just can't make that app work for me. Always got fc on apps after installed.

I recently installed this app, but I have no chance to use.As I create a zip file, will install all the compress file directly????? I have no good experience with TB, because, you have to paid a full version to handling the backup (sorry if I am wrong).In addition, some Developers not recomend to use TB for some Roms. I usually make a backup with App backup & retsore and reinstall manually. Bad shape.....
I will take your recomendation. Thanks to all
Titanium backup is easy
Doesn't require paid to perform backups or restores.
Never restore system apps or data. Quite simple if you read the instructions on how to use it.

I didn't restore system or data. I do know how to read. Anyway..app2zip is what i use. Simple one click. Flash inside cwm at same time as Rom. Was just letting dude know Google isn't restoring to me either and gave a suggestion.

You pick the apps you want, tap go..it makes the zip and places in storage. When youre in recovery after flashing Rom just go to that file and install. When you reboot they are all there.

Batch restore MISSING APPS AND DATA
I have never had any issues with TB in over 2 years across at least a dozen + devices. I use it daily.
If you get FC's using TB, you're obviously doing something wrong.

no following the herd, dude. i have been using Titanium Backup since before you could even buy it in the Google market...
i donated straight to the dev for my copy....
and therefore that makes you better than me? I purchase and use apps I like. I don't like that one and am entitled to my opinion and use what I want. I personally find app2zip more to my liking and will share my findings with anyone who asks and/or is having same issues I am, hence it's called a forum.

here, i will be the bigger man and end this right now.
i apologize for telling truths about an app that i believe does a great job. i am sorry that you had a bad experience with it, and think its the devil. please feel free to use and promote whatever it is you use.
oh wait, i have a ****ing opinion too....and that opinion is that titanium backup works fine.
i dont give 2 ****s what you use honestly, but to say it doesnt work as intended is wrong, misinformation.
i am happy you have something you like, now you can get off my nuts.

No problem. Thanks for the advice anyways preferably not to reset because he has a lot of data and games saved on it.
Im pretty sure that if you factory reset it the data on the sd will remain, some games wont keep the saves tho

That actually doesn't work. As soon as you try to do a factory reset, it will ask you for a the pattern/password. It's like this so that people can't just steal your device and flash a new rom to unlock it.

No it won't... the password is all in userspace-land, has nothing to do with the lower levels of the device like the recovery.
Didn't the FBI have to subpoena Google, recently, to get a guys Gmail login and password because they couldn't crack the pattern passcode lock? To answer my own question. Yes, yes they did. Lol. Ha! But that's bad news for OP.

If you're rooted you can make nandroid backup
Than wipe data
After you do that reboot. Setup your device with your Google account
Than go to the Google play and download an app called "Nandroid Manager" it's free but you can buy a pro version which adds a few more things you can do
(this app let's you restore your apps individualy without having to restore the the lockscreen password, as oppose to restoring through clockwork recovery)
I hope this will help you
