I was wondering if there was a way to restore a backup from cmw to a different tablet and then clear all the setting that have personal information attached to it. I am using CM7 alpha 12 and my friend likes the way my tablet is setup, so I made a backup then restored to his table with no problem. I tried clearing setting through cwm like I was preparing to boot to a new rom, but all my info is still there. I know I am just missing something simple, but I just can't figure it out. Thanks in advance for any help and forgive me if this has been asked before, I tried to search, but couldn't find anything regarding doing it with the Nook.

Thanks, I knew it had to be something simple. I assume that this file will regenerate when the new account is setup. The only other thing that I was wondering about would be the mac address since I know this was a issue with the first cm7 release, but I didn't think since it would be just one person that it would cause any issues. Would this be a true statement.
I Don't know what's causing this but I Keep having this happen to me Screenshot (Below)!!
Some people said its from Flashing a New Rom... I Haven't!
I've Tried Breaking the Market Links, I've Uninstalled Every App on my Dumbass phone, I've Restored Nandroid Backups that "Were" working Fine!
I've Tried to go to the Android Market from my Web Browser, Logged in but Can't figure out how to Uninstall apps that it says are Installed under my Email, but they Aren't...
It's Remembering apps from Two of my Previous phones and Also from my Current phone when I Switched my Build.prop information! WTF?
Every once in a while it just Mysteriously Fixes itself and I can all of a sudden see My Apps again in the Market app...
But I Don't know What's Causing it to Hide My Apps and I Don't know What's Fixing it?
Can Someone PLEASE Try to Explain This Bull**** to me! I'm So Frustrated I feel like Smashing the **** out of this piece of ****!
Hopefully Someone will be able to Help me Fix and Stop this, Thanxx in Advance!

Is there Anyway I can Fix it myself?
I I was wondering if there are any programs where I could do GREAT backups.
Mainly 1 for phonebook, so that I can safely copy all my contacts and modify them from the computer. I have like 300 numbers but want to erase 200 of them while still having them on computer if I need them. I can't find a reliable app to do this so am wondering if anyone has any experiences in it.
The 2nd backup I'm looking for is an APP one. It doesn't hve to necessarily backup the apps, but at least be able to queue all of them I want RE-installed and download them all from the google play store or something. I want to get into flashing ROMS, but I have like 7 pages of apps already that I don't want to lose, as I'm still sorting through trying to find the ones that work best for me so I can remove all the extras.
First off, I think these could've been answered by searching, so please do that in the future.
If your contacts are stored as Google contacts (as they should be), you can edit them from GMail. On the top left corner of the page, there is a menu that says "GMail." Click it and select "Contacts." I've found this to be the easiest way. It'll also always backup your contacts, and you can restore old versions of your contact list if you need to do so. (Since you talk about wanting to delete them from the phone, but keep a record of them, if you delete them from GMail and remember the date when you had them all in there, you can always restore it back to that date and they'll all be back.)
Also, from the People app, you can go to Menu -> Manage Contacts, and export the data.
Regarding backing up apps, this is the main reason I don't think you've done any research at all. There's a very-well-talked-about app called Titanium Backup that will backup and restore every app on your phone. You have to buy the key for it to restore all of them without your involvement--the free version requires you to give permissions to install each app.
First off, I did search prior to asking the question and could not find what I was looking for. There is no need to be rude, as searching was obviously the first step anyone would or at least SHOULD take before asking such a question.
As for your replies, I have chosen sync in my contacts, but they will not show up in Google for some reason. I've tried tons of ways, and it shows like it is syncing, but when I check... nothing there. I don't know if something is wrong in my settings or what, but I've tried many times... it just won't work for me for some reason. Maybe it's because I have 6 google accounts attached to phone, and even though I'm only syncing 1, it is mixing them up or something.
And I already have Titanium Backup, it keeps crashing on my phone for some reason, which is why I was looking for an alternative. I have over 300 apps on my phone right now. I know that's horrid, but I downloaded a ton of them for the same things so I can test them and find the ones I liked best, in which I plan to mark them all, re-flash the phone with whatever ROM (later once full rooting with S-off and everything has been tested more thoroughly), and only install those apps I liked, which should bring it down to maybe 100 apps or so.
I do understand I might SEEM like I didn't search, but trust me... I did.
Anyways, I thank you for your response (both the neg and the pos), and your time was greatly appreciated. I am about to toy with my settings and see if something is blocking the sync or something. I didn't know you could export from the people app though, so thanks for that especially.
UPDATE:
Man, thanks! That export feature is NICE! going to see how easy it is to modify it shortly, hopefully it's readable in Excel.
Regarding Titanium Backup, you are rooted and have granted Titanium Backup superuser permissions, correct?
Yes, I used that 1 click .bat file (from the first method that was shown). I think my superuser app was corrupt, so I re-downloaded it and it's working fine now. Thank you.

I ran into an issue with TB when I tried restoring from my OG EVO. I am rooted in the EVOLTE but not running a custom ROM. the ROM I was running was deodexed. Stock EVOLTE is not so I was unsuccessful in my restore. I bought mybackup pro and WA able to restore SMS and .MMS this way. Not sure I'd you are having the same issues or not though
Sent from my EVO using XDA
I agree, all contacts should be on google...then theres no worry about backups (ive had 3 android phones and a tablet and they all auto sync the contacts instantly).
Editing them on the computer is a breeze, the duplicate find/merge feature is simple and works very well.
What exactly are you all doing to make them sync though?
I went to Accounts & Sync
> selected the one GMAIL that I want the numbers synced to and hit sync now, but it doesn't do anything.
So I've done an extensive search on Google (and this forum) without any reliable answers. My issue is that after flashing a new rom (after wiping data/factory reset) Spotify will automatically delete my offline playlist. Using Titanium or any other backup solution WILL not work with spotify. After restoring it will restore default settings of the app and log you out.
I have tried copying the Spotify folder from my phone to my computer, than pasting after flashing the rom, but this does not work.
Has anyone figured out a way to NOT have to re-download spotify playlist after flashing roms?
EDIT: See my 2nd post for info on solution.

I FIGURED IT OUT! Atleast by accident, I think.
I decided to buy Titanium Pro after getting tired of having to click through the accept for every app. So after flashing a new rom (after backing up Spotify) and opening up Titanium, it asked me to enable dev options and debug mode. So I did that. When I went back into titanium to restore my apps it notified me that my device id had changed and that it may cause problems with backing up or something along those lines. Titanium offered to change it back, and I did. I restored my apps, opened Spotify and was greeted by the playlist screen with the same offline playlist that I had before.
Long story short, use titanium to backup. After flashing, make sure to enable debug/dev options and restore your device id back to what it was on the previous rom and it SHOULD work. I take no responsibility of any issues caused by this.
Thank you! This has been annoying me for literally years!
To restore the Android ID manually with Titanium Backup (sometimes it won't warn you that the the ID has changed as you described) go to the menu button on the overview screen and select "Manage Android ID ..." then select "Restore Android ID from a backup", also "Settings Storage" should be backed up to allow this. I do not restore "Settings Storage" because this can cause issues if moving to a ROM with a different base e.g. moving from AOSP to AOKP/CM.
I wish I knew this was possible before downloading 5,000 songss

Does this work when you reboot as well? I only just got a spotify premium account and had assumed that my tracks would stay downloaded when I rebooted my device. Was disapointed to discover that it wasnt.

Nope, rebooting is a different issue. Probably with the app itself. Try downloading a small playlist with like 1 song and rebooting and see if it happens again. If it does then there's probably an issue with the app/storage or something.
Will it really work?

Spotify said that the Music is DRM secured. Therefore this post is a few(!) years old. I only want to make sure that this is working well yet with the newest version of Spotify Installed. Mine is 1.0.0.82

Did not work for me and i tried this method yesterday.
Bit of an old thread, but I did a nandroid of my new LG G3 and tried out a ROM that didnt work right, so I restored my back up and Spotify lost all of its cache even with the proper ID in place already. So no luck here in restoring my cache which was easy by just restoring the proper ID of the phone before, but obviously that isnt the case and I usually have a bunch of playlists actually downloaded for offline play and nothing after restoring my nandroid
I wonder, isn't there a way that works the opposite way?
Let me explain:
Instead of backing up and restoring the Android ID with TB, can't we edit some file in the Spotify offline folder on the phone to make it match a new Android ID?
Any experts out there?

Lol sorry to be such a gravedigger but this still appears to be an issue and I don't want to pay for Titanium Pro. Anyone found a solution yet? It's 2016. XD

I appreciate your "mistake" very very much, cheers to you!. :highfive:
This absolutely works
Did it last night for a firend who unfortunately uses spotify, 1,700 offline tracks successfulyl restoreed after i had to wipe his device and flash it back to stock after he corrupted his external sdcard, running in adopted storage mode....damn, ive never used that and no i know why...what a mess when that goes wrong...i hope the days of low memory devices like the Moto G 4 Play are truly behind us, utter crap out of the box for usable app storage, no choice but to use adopted storage....
And why not throw in a rant....
Let me start by saying i dont do streaming media, for several reasons:
* Bandwidth - in some countries its a nightmare to do streaming without drama, even in 1st world Australia, we have issues with our (Liberal Party hobbled) NBN...
* Proprietary formats and encryption - youre locked to that provider. I dont get why you would let any company lead you down that garden path and pay for your media to be restricted, and especially in spotifies case, locked to the Android ID iof the device - meaning if you want to move it to another device, and dont want ot have to download it all again (11Gb in my friends case), you have to void your warranty on your new phone for one goddamn app, to root it to set the Android ID back the previous devices... Fricking American companies need ot realise that we dont all have fiber fricking network access...
* Utter wastefulness of resources in streaming overall, i do not get how people think its normal to watch something once, and if they want to watch it again, have to stream it all over again. Think of the absolute utter wastefulness of bandwidth globally, the electricity and other resources used in doing this. Humanity is doomed if this doenst register with you. Those for whom is doesnt register as indulgent wasteage should be the first ones made into Soylent Green....
We should be stamping this sh%t out, not embracing it
So while it does work, it raised more questions for me than it answered, and very decidedly cemented my hatred of streaming media.
I like to buy things once, download it once, and use it again as many times as i want. Every track i own came from a legitimate source, either ripped from a physical medium, or purchased in open format, and resides on my PC or an external drive that i can use across any device i own.
I will never give a damn cent to Netflix, Spotify or their kind
Death to streaming media....
So for no reason i cant play video files on my android note 8. All it says is "you may not have the proper app to view". In gallery and in every other app all the videos open up apart from the app i use the most, whatsapp. I disabled dual messenger, deleted whatsapp, reinstalled whatsapp, cleared cache, clear cache from recovery but whatever i do it says it cant play the video as i dont have the approriate app even tho i have most of the latest video players installed.
Dammit my iphone was expensive, not as nice looking, and not as much memory but that phone rarely gave me any probs and did everything out of the box with ease!! If it wasnt for the dual sim i probably wouldnt eva touch one again.
Iv tried assigning defualt player to videos but the problem is only in whatsapp and havnt found a way of assigining individual files from whatsapp to open up in a specific player. iv had too many problems with android, not the fone itself but these problems are all self arising out of the blue, anyone know how to sort this as i use the whatsapp for wrk. Thanks.

This a suspect post unless you tinkered with it... It shouldn't be doing that especially since you didn't even try rooting it and it's on stock untouched firmware have you tried a factory restore

Hi, i did root it with magisk but that was ages ago and everything was functional, it really did arise out of nowhere. Theres no tinkering involved aside from rooting and the root wasnt very helpful as nowadays alot of apps are rootless. I stll am trying to figure out what to do to get whatsapp to aknowlegddge the videos. yea its on stock no custom rom aside from root everything else is stock. All i need is somehow to edit a configuration file which i think tells whatsapp to direct it to one of the installed apps.

tried uninstalling and reinstalling, also if ur refering to media storage from recovery i have a huge amount of info on the fone.
Apparently switching the dual messenger feature on brings about this problem, the stock dual messenger app. Ive deleted it but prob remains.
