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

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!

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....

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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!

Hi .. I recently upgraded my phone xperia mini pro SK17i 's software from GB to ICS 4.0.4 and rooted my phone.
After rooting i installed Titanium backup and remove a few what i thought were unnecessary apps from my phone .
I think i also deleted the google.download.manager.apk i'm not sure but i cannot see this service in my "ALL APPS" (APP Manager) Its not at the bottom or disabled its just not there.
Since then i keep getting gapps stopped working and Google play stopped working .
i have tried
1. Rebooting (multiple times)
2. Clearing cache/clearing data for Play
3. un-installing /Re Install play
4. Download goomanager and downloading latest gapps packed and flashed the zip
5. Delete gmail account and restart and add account again.
Also i don't think there is prob in Google sync...
and checked out all the sites and forums for solution ... i still haven't gotten any solution to this.
i saw in a few places about QtADB and new ROM..but i have abs no clue about what it is or how to go about it
I jst want the Google download manager back and Google Play to work...
I have downloaded a new download manager for now. But was wondering if i can get back Google download manager without have to to do a factory reset.
First: You can ask these questions (for more response) in your phone section which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2054
Second: Wipe /system and flash ROM and GAPPS reboot phone and set it up then reboot again.. Should work now.
First, I am running SlimBean 7.1 for a while without any problem. In the past, I had a few times of unable to log on google appstore, but a few times of clearing data or resetting apps preference would fix it.
Today, it happens again and no matter how I tried to reset apps preference, clear google playstore data and reboot the phone; it does not let me log on.
Then, I tried to delete all the google accounts and resign in again . Now, it does not let me sign in the accounts ( these accounts work fine with different phones ) under any apps such as thru main system account add-on , youtube, gmail.
The message is " cant establish reliable connection .... your android device may not be provisioned for data services.... "
I also tried to disable wifi, using 3G, or even reflash gapps .. no luck so far . Any thought ? TIA
Hey guys,
So after exhausting all my ideas, can anyone offer help for my current problem?
I own an Xperia S tablet, rooted but cant unlock bootloader, which was running fine up until yesterday. Now I am getting crashes when trying to sync google accounts and play store is saying no connection. The specific pop ups are com.process.google (or along those lines) google drive and gmail have stopped working.
This is on every sync however gmail still works fine as does drive.
I have tried various solutions myself which are:
1) factory reset
2) reinstalled playstore through lucky patcher (all unmodified originals from various versions)
3)checked date/time to be correct
4) disabled/enabled download manager
5) went into system root and reinstalled apks for related apps
6) tried more than one account, same issue
7) reset app preferences
8) force stopped store and services and cleared all data
can anyone else please suggest a way to fix the problem? I have run out of ideas since the tablet is locked bootloader i cant easily reflash gapps.
EDIT: just forcibly deleted my old google services system apk and replaced with my phones version and reset, had no effect after cleaning all caches and dalvik.
Hello Everyone. I have a Samsung Captivate Glide i927 (AT&T). It was running Omni ROM 4.4 but since the latest Google Play Services update keeps 'crashing' the phone (multiple pop-ups stating that Google Play Services has stopped), I have decided to go back to stock ICS 4.0.4
The problem now is that my Google account isn't syncing properly. My contacts, calendar, Keep notes are unable to sync. I keep getting an error that states that 'Sync is having problems.' I also can't connect to the Google account from certain apps like WhatsApp & SwiftKey keyboard and as a result, I can neither back my chats to Google Drive nor download my customs words for the SwiftKey keyboard app. I can however use the Google Drive app normally. The Play Store also works properly.
I have done everything that I can think of (& read online). They are:
1. Deleting the Google Play Services cache.
2. Emptied the phone's cache. I also formatted it & the Dalvik cache in CWM.
3. Removed my Google account from the phone. Restarted & added the Google account.
4. Reset the phone to factory settings.
5. Re-flashed the official/stock 4.0.4 ROM by using Odin.
6. Changed my Google account password to 'force' everything to 'reset' and resync.
7. I have added a hash prefix to the localhost IP address in the hosts file in the 'etc' folder. I have also deleted it.
Syncing still doesn't work for those services. I am at my wit's end. Please can anyone suggest a solution?
Thanks.
NB: I posted this question in the Samsung i927 section but there was no answer or comment.
