[Q] Changing Primary Google account without deleting apps.! - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I've a galaxy S2 . I initially entered a google account and installed many apps from market with that account .
But times have changed and now i've a new primary gmail account and do not use my previous account anymore .
So is there a way to delete my old account from my S2 and enter the new gmail account while all apps still installed on my phone .?
I know that once i delete the old primary account from my phone , it'll deinstall all apps from my phone as well as remove all entries from android market associated with that account .
So , can i do this :
1. Take backup of all apps+data in titanium backup .
2. Delete my primary account from S2 and make a new account primary .
3. Restore apps+data from titanium backup , and then restore market links .
4. Hit install for all apps installed on my phone in the android market linked to my new primary account . That way market would see that apps are already installed on my phone so won't install them again and thus creating entries in android market for all installed apps .
Can i do that .??
Plz reply ....

[Q] Any way to delete Samsung account without Factory reset?

Hi all,
I've just recently had to do a factory reset and restore with Titanium Backup, now everything is working exactly like I want except Samsung Dive hasn't registered my phone.
It says to remove and re-add the Samsung account, but when I try it says you can only do it with a factory reset. Any way around this? Just don't want to go through setting up and restoring my phone again!
Cheers.
Check if Samsung Account is in Titanium if so factory reset and restore without Samsung Account .

I found a way to do it with Titanium Backup.
1. Freeze Samsung Account
2. Reboot
3. Delete data from Samsung Account through Titanium Backup, then reboot again
4. Now go into Settings -> Accounts and sync and the old Samsung account should be gone and you can now add a new account.
Oh, thanks you so much !!!
I forgot my password and had given a false birthday, so I wasn't able to refind my password ^^'
But thanks to you, I was able to reset a new account ^^
I'm gonna be able to use Dive ! Cool ^^
Many thanks flagger!
But two remarks:
- you can only freeze/defrost an app in the Donate Version of Titanium Backup so it'll cost you 5 euros (which I was glad to pay).
- at step 4 I could not add a new Samsung account. Solution: first defrost samsung account in titanium backup, reboot and then you can add a samsung account.
Hello,
I'd like to do just the same but I can't find "Samsung Account" in Titanium Backup. I have:
- Samsung Apps
- Samsung Push Service
- Samsung TTS
- SamsungAppsUNA2
I tried the above steps with these 4 apps at once but it does nothing. Is it hidden somewhere?...

I got an app called samsung-account, you using a custom rom? maybe the rom deleted it?
Aaaaah, I just found it! I use the stock XWKJ2 ROM but localized in French!
So it appears under "Connexion avec un compte samsung".
I just did in Titanium Backup:
- Freeze the application (the Samsung account then disappears from Accounts and Sync")
- Delete application data
- Defrost the application
Then I could add the Samsung account again.
No reboot and I'm not even sure Freezing/defrosting was really necessary.
Thanks for the ideas guys
Such an old thread, but it helps me so much. I have Samsung Galaxy Note II 4.1.2.
I use free Link2SD instead of TB.
- Freeze the Samsung account so it disappears from Accounts and Sync
- Delete application data
- Unfreeze the Samsung account
- Without reboot I could add the Samsung account again
Thank you guys!

Warning about link2sd. Freezing is ok. Do not use it for its intended purpose of saving space on internal of phone. Several people have have had soft bricks and disappearing apps because of it. Check the link2sd thread. Just be smart and read. You will figure out the charade.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T217A using XDA Free mobile app

changing gmail faults...or not?

Hi! I tried to change the gmail account without making factory reset:
* Go into / data / system / root accounts.db through explorer
* Remove existing accounts.db
* After being removed please reboot your phones
* After that, when going into or open market then re-insert the account you want.
* Have a nice try, good luck
http://getfreeapplication.blogspot.com/2011/07/android-tips-how-to-change-gmail.html?showComment=1312975176182#c2616215550924612905
Everything worked fine since I entered my new account details:
1. tried to connect to google servers - didn't work - but I was signed in the market.
2. I reset the phone: com.google.process.gapps error appears (maybe google talk)
3. I am not able to enter the market and phone with new account.
My question is: Can I backup everything from my phone - but not the account informations of google?
I'd just wipe and reset the phone, but I'd like to backup the apps before...
or is there an easy working way to change the gmail account?
thank you!
AD
to backup your apps you can use "titanium backup" there is a free version on the market, if you want to backup the data from the apps you need to have root acces
ok! Thanks - I have root access. I will give it a try.
Can it be, that it takes some time - when changing gmail account - for the new account beeing able to connect with the phone?
edit: I have downloaded and installed Titanium Backup - when I want to backup everything (apps, Contacts, etc.) except google Account infos, which option should I take?
I'd like to easily change my current Gmail Account with a different one and have to wipe everything for it....

i don't use gmail, but maybe the gmail account is listed under settings > Accounts and sync?
If it is you can normaly delete it from that list
hope this helps
Hi Hitmax -
I'd like too not use gmail neither - how do you handle it? For emails I just use my private emailaddress - but I thought for using the market, etc. I have to use a gmailaccount?
thx!
AD
Yes you need a gmail to use the market.
According to hitmax117 you can ad or delete a count in account and sync menu. You can also delete gmail or market data thru application menu.
Bonsoir -
you can delete the files - but than you have to hard reset...
After a few hours of testing:
It works! Very strange behavior, I tried a lot but finally it works. I wrote down, what I did, so maybe it can help people with this problem:
After changing gmail account on device (without hard/factory reset), you get error messages after rebooting - and you can't see your device listed on the android market account (you can't download apps).
I made the following for changing the gmail account - without factory reset! ;-) and the phone is listed on the market :
(before I did anything I made a backup with clockwork Mod!)
* Go into phone: / data / system / root accounts.db through explorer
* Remove existing accounts.db (backup before!)
* now reset the phone - you'll be prompted to enter your new gmail account detais
*you'll get some error messages - you can ignore it
*even there are errors: you'll enter the market after a while
*you'll get the error message -"com.google.process.gapps", etc.
*you can fix it by putting all files from apps.rar - thanks to "The Andropirate"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=873884
*use droidexplorer or anything else with you ROOTED phone to put files to
system/apps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=464956&d=1292420131
*reboot the phone
*no error message should appear any longer
*now you should be able to just enter the market and download apps on your phone
BUT: market.android.com will make some strange stuff: maybe it will not show your device. What now?
I tried a lot. Finally it worked this way:
'*enter google account - after:
follow this link: https://www.google.com/accounts/SmsAuthConfig
*enter any number - save - everything, that it's set up completely
after:
*set up "Apps and website authorization (translated from german) "
https://www.google.com/accounts/IssuedAuthSubTokens
*Enter some APP: e.g. Android
get the code! copy it.
reboot your phone!
After you should be prompted to sign in to your gmail account.
*enter the code you got from your account.
*Now you'll enter the market on you phone
on log off your google account (desktop) and log in again.
now go to https://www.google.com/accounts/IssuedAuthSubTokens again.
*you should now see a list, where your app is listed.
"delete" it.
On you phone you should now be prompted (maybe after reboot), to reenter your password (now with your normal account password).
NOW: you should see your device listed on the market!
I'm not sure if it works everytime, but you can give it a try, maybe it helps someone.
No guarantee.
Good Luck!

How to Remove Recommendations for Previously Installed Apps

HI Everyone.
I installed some applications on my MI 8 LITE, and then I removed them.
All the time I go into the Google Play store,
He offered me to install again the APPS i uninstall from my phone.
HERE THE LOCATION:
1. MY APPS AND GAMES -> TAB LIBRARY -> Recommended
As you can see in the attached picture.
How do I completely remove them from the Recommendation List that I don't see them never again?
I did a clean-up data cleanup and a complete cache clean for the application and still it did not help make them disappear.
What is the solution?
Thank you very much.
You can't, that apps are stored in your Google account. And can't be removed by the device, try acces your Google account and search maybe for an option to do that.
Also you can use another Google account and delete the current account where the apps are stored and problem is solved.
