Hello
I updated the rom from 1.73 to 2.73 (i think) - I backed up my apps and settings, i restored them and all is working fine. But the apps i restored are no longer showing in "My downloads" on the android market.
So i don't know when an app update is available. How do i re-add them to this list without reinstall all my apps?
Thanks.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
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....

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!

I have used Titanium Backup Pro to Fix market link for few apps which I manually installed on my SGS2. Now Android Market shows that updates are available for these apps.
But when I try to update it with an error message.
Is it possible to update such apps?
If not, can I remove these apps from android market's installed app list?
Thanks

After fixing market links, the update should work.
Have you tried to clear app cache (in Settings menu => Applications => Manage applications => ... (find your apps) => Clear cache) and/or app data (in Settings menu => Applications => Manage applications => ... (find your apps) => Clear data)?
Maybe it helps.
If not, then try to wipe cache partition in recovery mode (Volume UP + Home + Power, and hold the keys pressed until recovery menu appears => Choose to wipe cache partition, then reboot the phone).
If that does not help either, Titanium Backup has the feature to detach/un-link the app from the Market.
Just start Titanium Backup and click on the tab for backup&restore, then long click on your app and choose the detach/un-link from Market action.
(It may have another name in your language, as I am using German.)
Good luck !
Backup data for affected apps, uninstall them, reinstall from Market, restore data.
note if you have NOT BOUGHT some of these PAID apps from the market you will NOT be able to update them through the market in the normal way ....remember bought apps are linked to your Gmail acct ETC
I've installed helium on my phone and successfully enabled it using the desktop application, but not all apps appear on helium's selectable apps list. In fact i was hoping i could backup google maps data to save my downloaded offline maps and safely check new google maps versions.
any help or recommendation is greatly appreciated

Hello,
I am looking for an app with the following functions:
- backup selected folders to Google Drive
or
- backup complete phone to Google Drive
Possibility to schedule backup
Possibility to select to backup only over wifi
I have searched in Google play, but most apps:
- only backup sms, contacts and stuff like that, but now specific, self selected folders
or
- do not have a backup to Google Drive function
or
- can not schedule the backup
Is there any app which can do that?
I have found a few programs which can do these things:
- Google Drive Sync (which I am using now; works great)
- NS Sync
