I just spent a long time tweaking my current system,
TPR 2.21
CC_V2
Apps installed etc...
I'm about to do the whole process for my wifes phone, & I was curious if I could restore MY nandroid backup on her phone, and then just change the account info stuff...
Or is it so much hastle that way that it's better just to install fresh?

I just tried, and it looked great, but the only way I could unlink my google account was to [privacy->clear all data] but that messed it up... is there a was just to unlink and relink to another account?

Remove main Google account from Android without doing a factory reset.
This worked on my ally running 2.2 Froyo with Cricket flash---Its good for those of you needing to change your primary Google account and dont want to lose any flashing or apps---I only lost the emails and contacts from the primary account so I suggest you back them up if you want to keep them.
You can do this if your phone is rooted:
All you have to do is use Root Explorer and go to /data/system/ find accounts.db and rename it to accounts.db.bak so I could just name it back if I had a problem instead of doing a restore. I also did a Nandroid backup.. Reboot your phone and goto settings>accounts and sync>add account and your good to go!!!!
*You can use AntTek Explorer instead of Root Explorer--its free
**I would do a NANDROID backup before, just in case you delete the wrong file accidentally.

How to fix google talk authentication failed
I just thought id post this information so everyone wouldn't have to search for it. Go to settings-applications-manage applications and scroll down to market and clear data then scroll down to google services framework and clear data then reboot you're phone and that's it enjoy. Remember it will take about 10 minutes to be able to use the market again.

I had to use titanium backup to to the wipe data, but it did the trick
{i only did this on the *NEW PHONE*}
to validate, i did a google talk -> google talk chat session between the phones.
Previously undoable
Now i'm going to make a nandorid of my wifes phone so i don't have to do this again!!

I think you have to add the second account then delete the first in syncs. Could be wrong though.

So I have Google Wallet and I'm bout to flash my phone... I need to know what the best way to back up and restore Google Wallet data is...
I could definitely be wrong, but i was under the impression that if you restore Wallet data after changing ROMs that it will most likely cause the 'secure element' error and you wont be able to use wallet anymore ever.
I believe the correct thing to do is to open the Wallet app, clear all data from within app. Then after installing your new ROM do a fresh install of Wallet (if it wasnt already included in the GApps you most likely had to flash).
Hopefully others will chime in and correct me if i misspoke
I use Google servers restoring all my apps, when switching to different rom . I've been using google wallet with stock, axiom 2.4, and milestone 2.
I never use Titanium or other method to backup apps.

if I clear my wallet data will it restore my $100 balance after re-installing it in a new ROM?
You won't lose your money. Google Wallet reactivates itself when you reinstall the app and log back in to your Google account. I've done it multiple times already on mine going between different roms and haven't had any problems with my google wallet.

Ahh the beauty of Google services and Android
As stated above, before wiping data and flashing new roms, reset the app from within the Google Wallet settings menu. You should be good to go after that. All your money and card info will transfer over.
make sure you document your user ID so if it doesn't successfully restore your account, google can locate your funds. some people here have lost their balance and sol since they didn't write this number down.

This is probably the safest thing to do. However, I don't even reset the app before i flash a new ROM (which I do twice a week), and i have never had a problem with my $$ transferring when i re-install Wallet
Does anyone know how to flash factory image to the phone via fastboot? I need help with this and my other thread about that is dead :<
Anyone wanna be generous with their knowledge?
http://www.wugfresh.com/dev/gnex-root-toolkit/ If you download the factory rom and use this tool it will flash the factory image for you, I have used it to unroot my Nexus and it works great.
This video encouraged me to activate google wallet on my phone. I got $10 for doing so.

After factory resetting my GS3, the phone does not automatically downloads all my apps from google play but I have to go in and click one by ONE......
I have hundreds of Apps and it will take very long. How come the phone does not do it anymore. It use to do it every time i reset.
what am I missing?
Thanks,

When you first setup your phone after a clean ROM flash it usually ask you if you want to sync up your Google applications. If you unchecked one of the options it will not automatically sync Google Apps from the Play Store. For me i prefer not to autosync and use Titanium Backup to restore my apps. This is much faster. There are some apps which when restore with TBU will not activate properly and for those i am not restoring from backup.
You could also access the Play Store from a web browser and directly send the installation to you phone. This way you don't have to waste time going through each App on your phone.
Yeah it doesn't work for me either. It worked great on my Galaxy Note but has never worked on the S3 anyone have a clue on how to fix this??? THanks
I'm having the same problem.... That sucks.

Ever since I've started flashing ROMs, I've become accustomed to jumping on the market and re-installing all the apps that were deleted during the wipe process. No problem really, I like the idea of a fresh install. However, oddly enough, since flashing Ev1lArt's Wicked v7 and now his JB v3 Roms, the apps from the store persist. Third party apks are still in my downloads and I can re-install them, but the ones from the market instantly start downloading and updating once the phone is done booting up.
On one hand, I think it's fantastic! No more searching the store for all the apps I want.
On the other hand I'm concerned this is an indication of something gone wrong.
If anybody has any insight, I'd be very grateful. Thanks!
Edit: Another question/afterthought. When I went from Wicked v7 (ICS) to v3 (JB) I used Odin and the root66 tar for a clean JB install. I was under the impression partitions would be re-allocated during this process, but there was no PIT file and the instructions are very clear about which boxes to check (ie, don't check re-partition). Am I missing something? Are PIT files not necessary going from ICS to JB? Also interesting to note, when I booted up after ODIN, my apps, wallpapers, Nova Launcher setup etc were all still there. I thought the point of doing a fresh ODIN install was to get the phone to an "out of the box" condition.
Am I just a worry wort? Should I just be happy that some Android magic has saved me some hassle? Thanks again.
Google is supposed to back up what was on your phone and then red download it (restore) from the play store. Downloads always stay, unless you wipe it.
When you say "wipe it", do you mean wipe data/factory reset in recovery? Cuz I always do that.

That doesn't wipe storage/sdcard. The folders you see when you plug into a computer. Uninstalling apps also doesn't delete those folders
On some roms when you flash on the locations setup screen it will ask if you want to restore your apps from google play...if you leave it checked it well immediately start downloading your apps based off your google account...
Googles backs your data up always when flashing a new rom fireup the play store and go throught the log in thingy there will be an option that you can tick it says "keep my phone backed up whit google" simply untick and voila... its no issue at all trust me

If you are a little paranoid and want a true clean install, wipe system in recovery before you install your preferred rom. The Google restore had been hit and miss for me over the years so I stopped checking the box and relied on titanium backup. Sounds like it is working better now.
Hi All,
I'm not sure if this can be done, but my girlfriend is in need of a new phone and I've just upgraded to the One. My One X is hers for the taking, so I want to remove all the data and accounts, but not factory reset to remove the root.
What are my options for deleting content without a factory reset - I've not needed to do it before, so I have no idea - other than removing each thing individually, then mass deleting apps etc.. Seems a long-winded way of doing it.
Anyone any ideas?
Use Titanium Backup to clear your data of all the apps... Use app uninstaller from the GO team that removes all apps quickly... Delete the accounts in the settings menu...

It's the same thing as uninstalling from "settings>apps"... :silly:
@ OP
Factory reset, flash supersu... done!
That's the easiest and fastest way! :good:
He has explicitly said NO FACTORY RESET... and the reason why I suggested the application is because you don't have to select the uninstall option each time if you're rooted...

Your response was what I thought might be the case. It's more that, because she's going to be transferring her stuff over from her current phone, I didn't want to leave anything on that would get mixed up or confuse any of the settings if I forgot to remove any. I'd hoped there may be a way to just clear all content (with one lazy-button!), without factory reset.
Don't want to factory reset and flash, as I have a new laptop without all the root stuff - can't be bothered to go through it all for the sake of taking off bloat etc (all my gf will be interested in)
Thanks for the responses - much obliged.
If you have surfed unscrupulous sites i.e porn etc. You don't have to be so extreme, you can clear cache and history.:laugh: If your ultra paranoid do a factory reset from either boot loader or in your settings then apply root.

Has anyone else noticed that when flashing from a stock ROM to aosp, the wallapaper previously used with a different aosp ROM is remembered and used? I always wipe data cache delvik and system. Somehow my phone always remembers what wallpaper I had previously. Maybe this is just minor but is it possible that it isn't wiping everything? Idk, maybe there's a simple reason but I was just wondering. Thanks
Is this before or after restoring apps that you notice this. My wifes phone doesnt do this.

Its before installing anything other than gapps. Maybe gapps is doing it somehow
Maybe you check the settings when you're logging in to your gmail account where it ask you restore all data and apps from previous phone. Don't remember the phrase but something like that if you do check it then it will restore the wallpaper
