first of all you have to go in contants ,secondly press the menu botton and select import/export and select export to sim card.To remove the account gmail ;
Let's start off by saying that the address book being connected directly to the email account main before proceeding must be exported in full on sd,
Here's how:
1) go to the Contacts tab
2) press the menu key
3) Plug on 'import/export'
4) plug on 'export on SD card'
At this point, the address book and save,Now at this point, if your device is already rooted and you have almost finished otherwise you root your terminal ..
Open root explorer and when super user will ask you to grant root privileges yes
Please go to the 'Data' folder and from there to 'System'
There you will find the next various files including 'accounts.db ' now you can choose to delete it directly or if make a backup copy, i recommend you delete it directly.
At this point delete the data in the market in this way:
1) click on menu
2)click on settings
3)plug on applications
4) plug on 'manage applications'
5) plug on market and erase all data (except updates)
Restart the terminal and enter the market that will ask you to add a mail as if it were the first time you access!
Now you'll notice that all the contacts in your address book if they are gone because they were connected to the old email account, don't worry ...
1) Go to the Contacts tab
2) press the menu key
3) Plug on 'import/ export'
4) plug on 'Import from SD card 5) Choose the backup file if you have the asking at this point you have finished ameno that do not please be fastidious, and save any applications you buy with the old account that in the case of reset would be lost forever ...
Dear All,
I have accidently deleted the Home launcher app of my Android 2.2 mobile (Chinese H3000 model); as a result it is not going beyond the screen saver at all, the screen just turns blank with no widgets/shortcuts/buttons appearing at all!
Although it rings & receives calls when called.
I have already tried factory reset option.
Can anyone help me resolve this problem

Dear Mr Akshay,
Thanks for responding but none of the two options work - Couldn't see play store in the launch on pressing & holding Home key; was able to access play store via gmail login on my PC & tried downloading - the message did appear that it will be loaded shortly on the device but thereafter nothing on the Phone. The main problem is that I'm not getting any menu buttons at all, it's only a blank screen as soon as I unlock the screen saver i.e I have no settings button or any other button. While connected to PC only the sd card gets read in the windows explorer on PC, but there's way to open sd card on phone!

Missing launcher fixed!
Hello to all!
I note a lot of inquires on this site many of users using programs's like Titanium backup and other "advance" users just deleted Launcher as soon is they get there hands on the root!
Then they find out that they can see only black screen. Many of you try to replace it with dozen of software's but find out that Debugging mode is off. And is no way that can be enabled.
Well not all that bad as it shows. Firs at all if you are still log in to your Google app go to your account on Google go to apps and download, it will stated online that item is available on your phone now it over, top bar you can see it and install it come to the phone via Ethernet - WiFi or 4G.
If you already reset your phone or hard reset and you still see the black screen watch my video on how to get launcher in to your phone very simple, using dongle, other Bluetooth enabled laptop or smart phone!

I has face the same problem as you and i has done it right way
Since you has root your android phone,I know that you are very excited to remove those unusefull apps same as me.I got the same problem as you that I also used China Mobile phone and can't done any of the suggestion here(suggested such as flash those .zip in recovery) that won't work on china mobile type.When I has delete my home launcher,one thing for sure,the screen is black after turned on and I did reset factory data in recovery mode(worst move ever cause my wifi connected password has totally gone).So,my first effort was I take my moms tablet and start downloading any launcher (.apk) .Okay,since before I get into black screen,If I press lock key,the ring menu will appear right?.I used those ring menu as a door to get into my bluetooth connection.At the ring menu,I drag it towards 'camera',and then click on the pictures that you have captured(gallery in camera).Just pick any random photo and click share (via bluetooth) after that,I send a photo to my moms tablet(actually just to make pairing cause can't go to bluetooth settings).After paired,I try to send the home launcher.apk from my moms tablet using bluetooth connection that has been paired this before.Eventually,after receive the apk file,I can't open it.It says "no application can perform this action"(but,maybe you should try it first.Maybe it'll work on you.If not, try another one of my step).So,I was frustrated having an unsolved solutions through internet source information and I almost dump my phone in the dustbin.But then,I try another way.This time,I use the same door/way(through camera in ring menu).But this time I try to send through gmail(I don't think that I have any wifi or data connection after reset factory data eh?!).But boom !! The idea comes to me that I try to send the photo through gmail account just to make a wifi connection(again,because I can't go to settings).So,after I try to send it through gmail,the Sign-In screen will appear(but remember,I don't have any wifi/data connected.What I'm going to do?!!).I just filled in my email and password and click Sign-In.Of course the connection can't be made because there is no connection at all.But the trick is,when you wait for a few seconds,you will be asked to make a wifi connection(automatically the wifi around you appear in the list).So,make a connection through any wifi and sign-in(yeay!!connection established !).After that,I try to send home launcher.apk through gmail using my mom's tablet to my phone and a few moments later you will get a gmail notification through notification bar.Click on it,and click install.There you go.You are safe again.

This was the closest, but still didn't work for me. Unfortunately, any launcher I try to install gets the "X Application not installed" error.
Guys, I do realise Lenovo S750 is a new device, but since it's running on MTK6589 maybe there are any firmwares that can be installed on this device?
I got it with original chineese firmare, and since I managed to install google play store, I'm having some problems with GPS fix, and cannot cope with that. I think it's the firmware problem.
Do you have any info, concerning this model, or a modded firmware that can be used? I assume, the MTK6589 are not all the same, and the firmwares cannot be used as a replacement?
I've tried many times, but fortunatelly I've managed to run GPS also.
As a solution I paste for future how to run google play store and GPS firs for chineese MTK6589 chipset. Maybe someone will need it in the future.
Just one thing - make sure your phone is rotted - I got mine chineese already rooted.
You need a rotted file explored - I use ESfileExplorer - link below.
Download and copy the content of zip archive below. Copy this to either to you SD card, ord phone storage - just to locate it no problem.
Then run ES explorer (or any other), find that archive you copied above, and select all the files within. Copy them into system/app (make sure your root options in setting are all "checked"). Then find theese files in system/app dir (helpfull sorting the files by modification time), and change their atrributes to READ (all three USER/GROUP/OTHER) / WRITE (only to USER), leave everything else blank.
After that restart your phone. Then you should have the google play store available - enjoy
As for GPS fix, after doing the above, turn gps off, run explorer, and go to data/misc dir, find mtkgps file, and delete it, restart the phone. Ensure you wifi or net connection is on. Download Better GPS application, and GPS TEST from play store. Run bettergps - choose your continent and country. Then go to settings/ location access, run GPS there and tap it. Next enable EPO (download latest) and AGPS. Run GPS TEST place the phone either outside under sky, or near the window. It should connect within few seconds. If it does, you can disable AGPS and EPO, also uninstall BetterGPS app. For me, it catches fix in few secs now :laugh:
if any questions feel free to ask - ENJOY!!!

I don't know, what you're talking about, both GMAIL and preinstalled business calendar work no problem..... can you pls explain it?
Gmail works OK (Using GMAIL app) but the native email doesnt work, so other non-gmail accounts don't work - I have Exchange server & Hotmail accounts
The business calendar works but can only do a local (phone only) calendar so the exchange calendar doesnt work.
I use my phone for work and not having a calendar synced with exchange is critical.
Also I need to use other email accounts.

Ok since I don't use anything else except google - I can't veryfy what you're saying.
Maybe you should wait for other firmwares, which surerly will coume out soon
Yes, trying to find alternative. In the meantime, I tried to install GAPPS but didn't manage. I believe my first step is to install a cCWM recovery, but I haven't been able to find anything for this phone.
(Note - coming from Moto Defy; this process was easy - I'd download GAPPS then go into CWM; install ZIP from sdcard and bingo....
The recovery installed only allows updates and clean cache; no way to install a zip.
Any help on this appreciated as otherwise the phone works fine. However until I get mail & calendar working have to remain with my old Defy...

Here's another firmware from etotalk http://ge.tt/62Cz6Jl/v/0 it seems it's working well, calendards and sync are working. Comes rootted already, and with xperia lancher.
You just need to pun in the rom folder another file (which I don't know why is missing) secro.img look below - just paste the file in the unpacked rom folder before you run a flash tool.
Method of instalation, excatly as described in the 4th post from the begining- you just need flashtool and drivers - all explained up
In case of questions, feel free.

Indeed I have phone storage or SD card to choose.
But whatever choice I make, the phone reboot & the SD card seems to be absent when I ask to change location from one or other app installed before.. It changes location from phone storage to internal storage but no sd card..
Quick system info show me that :
SD storage : 2go
Second SD storage : 25go (my external sd card)
Internal storage : 1go
System storage : 640 mo
Cache storage : 250mo
Memory : 1 go
How could I choose the second SD card tho ?

Hello every one.At first I have to be sorry of my english,i'm in intermediate level.
Well I have a big problem with my phone,Xperia P. I Cant acces to my google account on it.In each problem that google has developed there's no access for me(gmail,google play,....it asks for google account on each one of them and there is no access for me on google account).When i get to settings to add my google account from the accounts part, i will have these problems:after choosing the exicting ,it asks me to enter a gmail id and after i enter my information,it says that your connection is not ok and you must change it.I have changed my wifi connection a lot,even with 4-5 different isp,and that's like this with the data too.
And when I choose the new button,it asks me to enter a name and after that an id.at the next,it says that your id is not exists and you must chang it.i have entered many different ids but i have this problem with all of them.
I dont prefer to factory reset,so if there is some another way please tell me.
my stock rom(4.1.2)is already rooted and my kernel is 3.0.8 and my phone is xperia p.
thanks for your help and excuse me again for my english.
The only way better is to Reset, before that open apps-All apps- select credential manager - - clear data like vice do for some other system apps , related to google, have reboot and try , if not factory reset
Flash a custom romkeep looking for something new:good:
If you already root your phone then check your host file in /system/etc/host. Delete every line in it if exist.

Hi. I want to create an app and give some offer. But I wish that the user can avail only once. I.e. the offer is available only once. So that even if he does app data reset or even factory reset, my app should detect that this device has already been used.
What device permissions does my app would need??

That cannot be done by any normal application. Even if your application has root permission and you store a file anywhere, when the user installed a new ROM and wipes the internal storage, all your data will be lost.
That said i think you are approaching this problem wrongly, an easier solution would be to just store the IMEI for that device on your server and not give that offer to the same IMEI again.
