I used a nandroid backup to update my friends phone, thinking I could just add his gmail account and remove mine. I added his but can not remove mine without a factory reset..
I don't want to do that because that will undo a lot of the reason I updated his phone they way I did.
Is there any other way to remove my account completely from his phone?

If it is a rooted phone, use a root-aware file manager to remove
/data/system/accounts.db
see this post for more details.
Note that this seems to only delete account credentials; you probably want to use
Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications
to also delete the data associated with apps that have your private data stored in them, as mentioned in that (above) post

PS. You can do all of this in an offline fashion using ADB and Amon_RA. Explanation is left as an exercise for the reader.
hello,
i just flashed android to my HTC HD2 into the NAND.
How can i get my Data from the data.img that was used before with android from SD card ?
i m sure that u can help me ;D
greets
let me know!!! if you find out
which data all contacts are in google acount so in your fresh installed android just login to gmail and all will be back ,if you used dhd build than you`l get and apps instaled too with htc hub also
If you are looking to get your applications, use titanium and/or dropbox they are your friends.
For text messages you can use an app called "sms Backup and restore". Text messages are exported in XML format and can easily be imported after flashing the ROM.
As darkony said, contacts are automatically restored through the Google account. Standard marketplace apps should be reinstalled automatically as well upon opening the marketplace for the first time. Otherwise, use titanium backup as mentioned.
I don't know if call logs are automatically restored by android, but there's also an app called something like "call log backup and restore ".
Have fun flashing
Alternatively, you could use a nand rom that supports a data.img on sd card that resembles your former build. You might get it running without bugs, but that can't be guaranteed.

I have a rooted Evo running Cyanogen Mod 7. When I look in my contacts list, it says I have no contacts and gives me all the customary options to add contacts.
My gmail is configured correctly, it is set up to sync contacts. All my contacts are still in my gmail account.
When I send a text to someone (I have GoSMS installed) it prompts me with a contact name if I start type, so I know the data is in there somewhere.
I have a backup on Rom Manager from a few days ago, but everytime I try and restore it, it keeps freezing and won't restore.
2 separate problems perhaps?
Any suggestions?
You need a PC to restore it when i get on my PC i will tell you how to fix it

Don't use Rom Manager, go into recovery and try to restore the backup manually. From now on do everything manually through recovery instead of using Rom Manager - you'll have a lot less problems. I suggest using Amon Ra instead of ClockworkMod, but that's your choice.
If you can't get the backup to restore, then wipe everything in recovery (data, cache, and dalvik cache at the least) and then flash CM7. Be sure to flash the correct gapps as well, flashing the wrong one could cause issues. Don't restore system data with Titanium Backup - this could also cause issues.
If you can get the backup to restore, do the same as mentioned above if you still want to flash CM7 (or update it).

Hey XDA,
I installed a ROM in my GS2, restored using Titanium, got this error, looked for a solution, cleared contacts data, lost all my contacts (can't fix it) - installed another ROM, restored using Titanium, got same error.
It has become QUITE annoying since I can only use the phone until this message pops up and I have to clear data again.
I want a permanent solution to this.
Thanks!
Don't restore data on system apps when you do a restore.
In fact, unless the new rom doesn't have a system app that you really, absolutely must have from your previous rom, don't restore system apps at all.
When I first started using Miui I had this problem the first few days & I discovered by trial & error (and later read) that is good practice and gets rid of most of those problems.
Thanks for the quick reply!
Would I only restore apps and games? Not contacts? How would I get my contacts back? Would I just have to ask everyone again for their number!? D:
Restore contacts from your backup . Restore only apps from Titanium if no problem then you can start to restore apps and data one by one to find the culprit .
Easier if you had a recent nandroid backup .
jje
Yeah restore your apps, games & so on, you can usually restore the app/game data as well, but occasionally you'll get FC's if you do. If so, fix is the same, restore app only/not data.
You should normally be right to restore your contacts. If you find that's also causing you FC's, you can get an app like App Extractor from the Market which enables you to restore your contacts/SMS's from a Nandroid/CW backup. There are also lots of other apps on the Market which enable you to backup/restore your contacts/SMS's/call logs/etc.

i have found the solution.
the problem is when you restore some of the apps AND data, which have a "sync" contact function will screw up the "sync" function.
All you have to do is to restore ONLY App for those apps (which "sync" contacts, for example, Hotmail or Whatsapp), then restore apps and data for the rest of the apps thru Tibu.
mine is perfectly fine now after a few trial and errors.
more info about it
I've used ROM Toolbox to backup and then restore contacts and start having these problem.
The problem, effectively seems to be a sync problem, but in my case not with fb but with gmail itself, so what I did:
1. turn off auto sync
2. remove all accounts (gmail, fb, skype). For skype you have to remove the app all thogheter.
3. Go Applications > and clear data and cache for contacts, contacts storage (any of them). Your contacts will not go away, b/c you already have them in gmail.
4. Restore contacts with Titanium backup (application only, no data).
5. reboot
6. you may still have the problem once yet.
7. create the gmail account again and allow to sync. once finish, create the other accounts (fb, skype, whatever).
Issue went away.
Hope this helps
unfortunately the process android process acore has stopped

You need to install contact.apk and contact provider.apk in root, location is system/app
to root download superuser and root browser

I think ROM Toolbox needs to fix up there Bugs!!!
Last Night
I used ROM Toolbox but only for changing settings and I ended up with the same error on my Desire HD, Testing Your theory now!
Cheers! Thanks Champ!
just some hints from developer point view, if any of the 3rd party application used the system id as application id, once the application fc for any reason, you will see the error, so, I would suggest you install apps that you totally trust that are stable, then try other apps later

I'm experiencing this problem too. It starts after a while and affects everything and anything e.g. messaging, whatsapp, talk, drive you name it.
This problem started ever since I update to resurrection 2.6 could it possibly be because the update was in my phone and not on the sdcard?

Hey, the problem is from the sdcard and not from your phone, I've experienced it and even flashing back to stock didn't solve it the only thing that did is clearing out the cache from contacts and contacts storage from application manager in the settings of the phone .
Hey.
I'm on Cyanogen, the newest nightly build, and my contacts had a lot of duplicates and I wanted to get rid of them all, just import the ones I want, so since I can't seem to find a delete all contact thing in the contacts menu I went into Titanium backup and I delete the Contact Storage and now my Contacts menu keeps crashing.
I though it would only get rid of the Contacts in the menu but I seem to of broken it ha ha.
Any way of fixing this?
Cheers
Delete or Wipe?
did you delete contacts storage or just do a wipe data? You'll get FC's if you delete the app since it needs it to store contact data
You'll have to restore the apk from titanium or extract it from your rom and place it in /system/app again if this is the case...
If you did a wipe and it's now freezing, I would try wiping contacts app data as well and reimporting your contacts from a backup and trying again!
Hope this helps..

Hey man thanks for replying. Just uninstalled the contacts storage and now when I click on Contacts it opens and immediately closes like straight away. I have deleted my backup in Titanium backup, how could I just get the Contacts back i don't really want to have to delete all my data again and do another backup. Is there anything I can do? I think in Rom manager I have a backup from earlier just after I came to the newest ROM? Anyway I can extract just the contact thing from that
If I'm reading this correctly, you've got a backup of your current rom?
If that's the case, you could restore contacts and contacts storage app/data with AppExtractor(free app?). AppExtractor is a very handy app which you can use to restore just individual apps or app data(or both) from a NANDROID backup.
I used it to restore my sms and other settings when going from LP7 to LP9
Thanks again, I extracted it and it's on my sd card but what do I do with that now that it's there? Do I just use Astro and click on it to install it or something or do I have to drag it somewhere
EDIT
I just saw you can install them from that folder but now everytime I open contacts I get a android.process.acore has stopped all the time!
Before it would just quit straight away but now it's giving me this error
Usually clearing the cash fixes it but it isn't fixing it this time
I'm not sure what you extracted, can you explain exactly what you did? When using AppExtractor it won't extract to SD, it restores/extracts apps and their data to their place in either /system or /data - So i'm not sure what you mean...
Clear your cache and dalvik cache using CWM recovery, then reboot. See if that helps.
I clicked on Extract APKS and they extracted to some folder on my memory and I could see them all there. I will try erasing the cache now 1 second.
EDIT
Yeah wiped cache and the dalvik cache and still same problem :S
Any suggestions mate?
If nothing important in phone, factory wipe or flash again.
Your contracts are on your gmail aswell, use your PC and fix your contacts there, after that when you sign in on your phone you will get synced with corrected contacts

When you say flash again does that just mean download and install the ROM again?
Can I do that without having to back everything up again and start from scratch? Or do I have to do that?
When I say backup, that means pictures and videos. Not apps.
Yes flash again and wipe.
Wipe means you have to do all again.
