Remove / change Google account without factory reset - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hope it hasn't already discussed and also it would help you.
In some cases we have to remove google account or me, I just set phones for my friends, clients and need an account.
So for no matter what reasons ( saving mods, themes, settings, contacts etc).
You can remove google account from setting if you have other account for example chaton, facebook. So in Honeycomb, Ics, JB roms disable sync, in options remove google account. Then disable chaton ot facebook from setting /application manager.
Now you have a clear phone you can add new google account, you can re-enable the other application reseted to defaults.
In this case you just changed the owner and every account saving the personalizations.
Have luck boys and girls.

Changing Original GMAIL Setting

When I bought my HTC Thunderbolt I logged into an existing gmail account that I thought I could change down the line. So, I have found that changing my original gmail account is not as easy as I thought. The problem is that when I go to put in a new event into my calender it does not sync correctly because it is syncing with the first gmail account I put on the phone.
So, before I go erasing this or that file, I want to check with some people who have good wisdom. My phone is rooted, I am on a different ROM and Radio, but everything I read says that you need to do a factory reset. So, here are a few questions I have...
Will a factory reset effect the rooting of my phone?
If it does not, should I just back on my apps up and do a factory reset?
Is there anything else I should know before I attempt a factory reset?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

gmail is directly linked to the primary account on your phone. the one you went through the initial setup with(setup market with). and unfortunately you cannot remove that email from gmail.
you can ofcourse add accounts via "accounts & sync", but that's a different story.
christ eh?... tell him/her I said salam.
I don't have any issues with erasing or not erasing the email. In fact, I don't really care if it stays on there or not. When I put a new event into my calendar it is using the email I signed up with. So yes, I could sync multiple accounts, but my laptop, tablet, home computure, work computer are all on one account. I like it this way.
When I look in my "accounts and sync" it says that it is using the proper account, but when I select a event in the calendar it wants to sync with google email I sign up with on my phone. I don't want it to use this account. I want to use the same one my google mail.
I am thinking that if I back up all my apps and data using Titanium Backup, do a factory reset, then add my google email so that my calendar syncs with the proper email I should be set. I can always bring my apps back using Titanium Backup and if all fails the worst that could happen is that I go back to my original setting using Titanium Backup.
Am I wrong in thinking this way?

So, the gmail account you started your phone with... 1. Did you purchase apps on the market with it? And 2. Do you still want to use it at all on your phone? If you answered "no" to both these questions, do this:
On your computer, log in to the gmail acct you don't want. Export a back up of all your contacts. Now, log out and log into the gmail acct you 'do' want and import your contacts into it. It will not wipe any existing contacts.
Now. On your phone, delete the Google acct you don't want. Sync the one you do want (calendar, contacts, etc). You will have sync'ed all your contacts, email, and calendar. Make sure its all there.
If you answered "yes" to either question above, also do this... Once you're sure your phone has integrated your new main acct, add the old one back. Uncheck the boxes for synching contacts and calendar plus anything else you don't want to sync.

Oops... It is important to know, 4g phones are not linked to your Verizon service the same way 3g/non-sim card phones are. In fact, if you were to reset your phone and not sign into a Google acct at all, you would still have service after set up is complete. This is because your service is now linked to the sim card on your phone. Granted, you won't have contacts, but you could make a call or browse the internet...

Delete agenda from google account

Hi,
Recently a friend of mine bought a new android phone and I wanted to quick install some apps on his phone. I signed in to google account with my own account and the surprise was to see that my all phone number from agenda were sycnronized in his phone, but I never choose that google to backup or save my agenda phone numbers.
Where can I see what other informations google saved from my phone, and how can I delete my agenda phone numbers from my google account ?
Thanks.
You should disable the auto-synchronization with google into "account settings" on the phone and of course never manually sync it! Then if you delete all the names from the google account (in your pc) the changes will not pass to your phone.
I manage to disable auto syncronization. By default I've instaled a MIUI custom rom and was set on auto.
But how I access my name on pc google account, where to login and where I find them to delete ?
Thanks

[Q] Multiple Google accounts and Market issue!

I've always used a regular Google account (with Gmail) to setup my Android phone. Recently I've switched my private domain over to Google Apps, and since you cannot import a personal Google Account into Google Apps I had to create a new one and transfer all the stuff I needed to (calendar, mail, photo's, etc).
The only thing you cannot transfer are the apps you purchased (way to go Google!). So now I'm stuck with my new personal account with everything on it, and my old Google Account just for the apps I've purchased on the Android Market (Google Play). This causes really annoying issues!
I add both accounts to my phone and turn off sync for the old account. Then I open the Google Play app, hit the menu button and select acounts from which I'll select my old account with which I purchased all the apps. These apps wont show up under 'My Apps' and when I try to search and download it wants me to pay again.
I've tried all kinds of stuff like deleting the Google Play data, adding just one account at first and then the other but nothing seems to be working and it's really starting to piss me off. Any ideas?

[Q] Procedure for changing google account associated with phone

I've got a new phone, and both it and my old one show up on Google Play, with the tabs showing the respective apps installed.
The old one is rooted, and I want to let my son use it on his own GMail ID. I've no problem resetting it or loading a completely new ROM.
Is there a proper procedure for dissociating it from my GMail ID and adding it to his. I have a suspicion that if I just change the associated email address in the Google Play settings on the phone, it will still appear on my list of devices.
If his gmail account isn't connected to yours then a factory reset and then add his account and then it should disappear. This means all paid apps would have to be bought again. Idk if google saves the device in your list but you wont have access to it.

Thanks for that - I was wondering how to make sure its tab disappears from my google account - it sounds like it's not possible...
