Everytime I flash a new ROM and setup my google account it automatically restores 19 apps and something that disables my google navigation. I have tried going into privacy setting and uncheck backup assistant before I log in but it still for some reason backed up that data and screwed up my nav. Any one know how to get rid of backup adsistant?

flash new rom, boot phone, before signing in to google, if your phone has file manager on it, go into system/apps and rename backup assistant to .bak....then you can sign into google and not have anything go through BA
Thanks I will try that
I _think_ that's handled in the google account settings not backup assistant. I don't know exactly the setting to change, but I get around it by setting up google account, not checking "backup my device data with google" and then if i go into the market and see it downloading apps i simply reboot phone before it finishes. It only does it the first time on the device for me. Since making a conscientious effort to remove the backup checkmark mine hasn't been doing it.

This.
also yo can go into settings>privacy and unchecked backup which should clear your existing Google backup.
I did all those unchecking steps but for some reason it would continue to load some apps. Changing the name of the backup assistant app in root explorer did the trick. Thanks

The proper way is before you flash the zip, go in, system -> app -> delete GoogleBackupTransport.apk and recompile.
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!
AD
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 backed up everything to the free version of 'My Backup' and transferred the files to my desktop PC. I've done a factory reset of the phone and want to restore my files. Google Play won't let me me reinstall 'My Backup', says it's installed, but since the factory reset, it's obviously not and isn't in 'manage applications'. How on earth do I reinstall 'My Backup' in order to restore the backups?
wat r u using for backup,and did u sign in while u installd new rom

I backed up my phone with this https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImNvbS5yZXJ3YXJlLmFuZHJvaWQuTXlCYWNrdXAiXQ..
Then factory reset the phone. ICS was installed few days ago and is still on ICS after the factory reset, which is fine by me. After the phone had rebooted, I signed into gmail and it's restored my contacts and calendar events to my phone, so that bit is fine. At the moment, I can buy and install the paid version of 'My Backup' and that would work, but I just installed the free version last night on a 30 day free trial. I've cleared data in my 'market' app, in the hop it would clear google play and let me reinstall, but it still says installed.
Well, it seems to be sorting itself out now, but I'm a little confused what happened here. I rebooted the phone just now, and then google play changed from 'installed' to 'install'. But, underneath that it says
'you don't have any devices', even when I'm connected by USB. If I click on install, a message says “You haven’t accessed the Google Play Store app on your device with this email account." and these possible reasons:
https://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1141080
I'm signed in with my gmail account though. I don't have a google play store app on my phone, just the market app and a google app.
So anyway, the phone was asking me if I wanted to use tw launcher or launcher pro, so I selected launcher pro, my wallpaper returns and my desired dock settings. So I suppose google must have backed up more than I realised prior to the reset. And now, all my apps are there including 'My Backup', lol. But the phone isn't completely restored the way it should be. So I'm currently using 'My Backup' backup files to hopefully restore it completely and get it looking exactly the way it was.
Go into the market app on your phone and it will update to the play store on its own. Also install your app from the phone not the website since you have to use the phone before the website for the website to know about the phone.
[GUIDE] How to fix and upgrade Google Play Services
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This Guide is designed for people, who are having problems with the GoogleApps_GearCM_CM9_20140711 package.
Only for CyanogenMod 9.1 - BroadcomCM Beta 5, but might help other people too.
Error Messages
If you get one of the following errors, you have installed a Google Apps Package which was signed with old certificates.
Incompatible with other application(s) using the same shared user ID.
This app won't run without Google Play services, which are missing from your phone.
The Problem
You cannot fix this error by installing/updating Google Play Services, because there is a conflict with the "shared user id".
The Solution
The "shared user ids" are stored in this file "/data/system/packages.xml".
Therefore it is very important that you don't delete the google apps manually with a Root Explorer.
Because in this case, the "shared user ids" are not getting deleted in the "packages.xml".
You should uninstall the Google Apps with the App Manager of the ES File Explorer.
Download it from the Play Store
Start the app and open the left toolbar
Go to "Tools" -> "App Manager"
Select "System Apps" from the top menu
Select the following apps (one by one) and hit uninstall and then click OK
/system/app/GooglePlayStore.apk (com.android.vending) (Google Play Store)
/system/app/GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk (com.google.android.syncadapter.contacts) (Google Contacts Sync)
/system/app/GoogleLoginService.apk (com.google.android.gsf.login) (Google Account Manager)
/system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk (com.google.android.gsf) (Google Services Framework)
/system/app/NetworkLocation.apk (com.google.android.location) (Network Location)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will uninstall the apps correctly and the "packages.xml" gets also updated correctly.
Next Step
Afterwards reboot into recovery and wipe the cache.
Then install my updated Google Apps Package, which you can find here.
Final Step
After installing my updated Google Apps Package, reboot your device and go to the System Settings, and add your Google Account.
After clicking the "Add Account" button, there might be a bug, where the Google Icon is black and the text is not visible.
Just click the line which is completely dark, and configure your Google Account. Afterwards the Icon should re-appear.

Google Apps are updated automatically after you have installed a Google Apps Package.
Worked for me, thanks. Needed to enable Root Explorer in ES File Explorer (it's a toggle in the left-sidebar) and had to download ES Task Manager. Network Location system app didn't exist on mine (Android 4.4.4) but the fix still worked. Since I'm using CM11, I just re-installed their GApps zip package from Recovery.
Easy fix without reboot

What I did is went to settings apps, then I went to running apps, Google play services said it had 2 running service's, I opened it up and to find 7 were running and causing conflicts between the authentication and the service itself. I stopped all the services which is just like reciting because they restart. Phone works again no reboot, try this for a quick fix next time to save your day. Sincerely Jacob.

Don`t work, Google logged in but playstore Servererror
I just bought a Galaxy S21 5G (unlocked US version) and before starting my new phone, I created several app data backups from Helium on my old Galaxy S8, as well as one or two full app backups. I installed Helium on my new phone, the Galaxy S21, and whenever I try to restore from Google Drive (where I put the backup data, I see an alert that says "Unable to login. You have not setup any Google Accounts", I hit 'OK', and then it takes me to a screen that says "An error occurred while retriving your app list." When I click "login to sync with your other devices," I also get "Unable to login. You have not setup any Google Accounts".
What gives? How can I get my app backups on this?
Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same issue
