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

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 bought the TB pro app, and would like some help.
Perhaps I’m missing something obvious here, but I did the following:
- Batch -> Backup all user apps & system data
- Wiped my device (Nexus 7), flashed a new rom (both based on stock)
- Installed TB, then TB Pro.
- Batch -> Restore missing apps with data.
However, a lot of the apps I restored have restored to their ‘just installed’ state. Ie. Passwords and any ‘user’ data is missing.
Examples:
- Facebook app (doesn’t know my username and password)
- Twitter (same)
- Lastpass (same)
- Moxier Mail (forgot my account settings)
However a few apps did remember my settings / data:
- FPSe
- Sixaxis controller
- Gmail (and other Google Apps)
Any advice greatly appreciated.. Many thanks.
Ignore me. Read your post wrong
Sent from my GT-I9300T using xda app-developers app
Whenever u backup apps using TB always tick the option to backup all installed apps with data.
This is the reason why ur apps didn't have any data
That's what I did.. ! Any other ideas?
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

I have Google backup turned off permanently, however my contacts are still backed-up somewhere to Google cloud. I discovered that yesterday from another device that offered me to recover my contacts from a current backup.
I'm perplexed because when I open Google Drive app, it says that my device is not backed-up.
Questions:
Where are the contacts backed up? On G-Drive, or elsewhere in my G-Account?
What more can I do to prevent Google from downloading my data to its cloud?
Details: I have LG G6 (LG-H870, Android 8.0.0). In the Settings I have set:
Backup > Google Backup > Backup to Google Drive: Off
Users & Accounts > Auto-sync account: On, otherwise my (non-Google) e-mail is not synchronized, but:
Users & Accounts > my-google-account > Sync: all four sync switches are Off
In the Drive application:
Left menu > Backups: "Your device is not backed up"
My other phone is Xiaomi Redmi 4. Here:
Settings > Google > Restore contacts> Device backup list: It offers me to restore my contacts from LG-H870 created today. When I proceed, all my contacts are really restored.
The Google documentation for contacts backup, https://support.google.com/contacts/answer/7199294?hl=en instructs how to turn-off contacts backup.
The description of Settings > Backup > Google Backup > Backup to Google Drive says that:
"Backup includes: Apps and app data, call history, contacts, device settings"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Edit: I've verified that my contacts are not in Google Contacts for my account.
As said already, backup of contacts by Google does not respect the general Settings>General>Backup>Google_backup>Backup_to_Google_Drive = off. This problem may occur only on LG G6, or in Android Oreo in general.
However, I succeeded to prevent the contact backup by disabling Google synchronization services in Settings>Apps>Show_System>choose_app>disable:
Google Contacts Sync
Google Calendar Sync
Google Backup Transport
Now I hope that they won't get enabled again upon a firmware update.
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.
