Is there a way to use this without it recording web browsing/search or location history? I don't care for it to be customized to me, just to answer general answers without my privacy being compromised.
Have tried the build.prop tweak to revert to Google On Tap but doesn't seem to be working.
Thanks

Hello.
Having some questions:
1) Can't manage .lnk files in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs - Access denied. How to fix this?
2) Is there any option to make the middle column in start menu on the same horizontal line with the first and last?
3) Is there any option to rearrange the items in the start menu by the finger?
4) Is there any option to show transferring Internet traffic while gprs/edge connection is active?
5) Is there any option to select which connection to use while the phone needs access to the Internet?
6) Is there any option to make thumb items (after the clock (manila)) to show as a list?
7) Is there any option to make pushing the right soft key (with home icon) to minimize the running program, not to close it?
8) Referring to (7), any task bar to manage minimized programs with minimum clicks?
9) None of mobile registry editors can edit values - Access denied. What should I do?
Thanks in advance for answers.
1) Have you tried using ReStart?
2) I could only find this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502051
3) You can click and hold to move to the top/bottom. Once again, try ReStart.
4) Not sure
5) Start > Settings > Connections > Connections all settings located there.
6) I'm not sure what you are talking about, but Max Manila and Cookies Home Tab give you plenty of customization.
7) Start > Settings > System > Task Manager > "Buttons" tab.
8) You can link the long hold of the endkey, send key, etc to open up task manager. Start > settings > personal > buttons.
9) What software have you tried? PHM reg edit is a popular one.
1) This one showthread.php?t=481379 ?
2) Yes, thanks!
3) ReStart haven't tried yet
4) -
5) Yes, I know about this menu, but I need something like in symbian phones - each time any app wants connect to the Internet, pops up new window with available connections - wi-fi spots, dial up profiles, etc...
6)
7) No "Task Manager" in System (P.S. Still don't know why two different links to settings have the same name.).
8) Start > settings > personal > buttons - no such option in personal present...
9) This program runs directly on PPC, any programs which works via activesync reports Access Denied..
Max Manila 2.5 - v3.0 (beta).cab - installed on phone. May be I've missed something?
1 & 3) Yes that one
4) http://spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/wirelessmonitor/
5) I haven't seen anything like this.
7) Start > System is not the same as Start > settings > System. Either way, you can get to your task manager by clicking the wrench button on the drop down task manager. then click the buttons tab on the bottom and define your settings.
8) I think advanced config 3.3 can do this as well (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418151). HERE is different style keyboard remapper to remap all keys (including home and back).
9) Never tried to run a Reg Edit through active sync connection. I just use PHM RegEdit or SKTools Registry Editor (SK Tools only shows 6 options unless you pay though). Both can edit and add values,keys, dwords, etc.
Still can't find any wrench button in taskmanager. Are you talking about original taskman, which ships with the WM 6.5?
---------------------------
Installed Touch X Taskmanager.cab -adds the missing taskmanager(top right corner) - now it is showing.
Back to connection monitoring...
I can't believe, that there is no such tool:
For example, I use Opera.
There are two Internet gates available for use - 3G and Wi-fi.
Opera starts....and I don't know which gate is being used...
How is on standard cell phones or symbian based smart phones:
when an application wants access Internet, a small window with available gates appears.. and you choose which one to use.
I've checked spb's tool, but it doesn't provide the feature described above...
P.S. Is there any program to prevent unlocking the phone if qwerty keyboard slides?
[Q] How to switch from "A" google account to "B" google account in market
hi guys
i want to switch google account for market, because a got chceckout in the second account and i want to buy some things,
is there any way without factory reset?
i dont know maybe some special app?
thanks
I had the exact same problem and couldn't find any way other than factor resetting the phone
Have you tried clearing all Google account data, and clearing the Market data? Might that help?
yes i tried, it erased all my installed apps list from market but no query about login ... always i was logged in with my "old" account
You could try this :
1.Go to "Settings" - > "Applications" - > "Manage applications" -> "Downloaded" - > try to find out "Market" app and open it - > press "Force stop" , "Clear data" , "Clear cache" , "Uninstall updates"
2.Go to "settings" - > "Accounts & Sync" - >press "Add Account" - > click on "Google" - > press "Next" - > press either "Create Account" or "Sign in" (If you have already made your new google account) - > Log with your new account
3.Open Market app , it would automatically install the latest update and I guess it would ask you to log with your google account , then you might be able to log in with your desired one .
If that doesn't work , you could try this :
1. Go to application list - > start an app called "setup" - > On the botton of your screen would appear 7 empty dots , by each pressing of the button "Next" one of the points would become green in color -> Go to the 6th section , which is called "Set up account" -> Press "Other mail accounts " - > Fill in your new google acount -> Then you might be able to log in with it in Android Market
*These directions are for 4.2.2 AOSP ROM's and folks who have Titanium Backup installed/configured and are using TWRP version 2.5.
-----------------------------------
My Android-newbie cousin has an AOSP ROM I flashed for him. Somehow, something got corrupted for his Play Store account and he couldn't download updates for his installed apps.
These are the directions I sent him on how to resolve it. It's basically what I did myself last month when I encountered a similar issue.
The directions are a bit of a "Shotgun" approach and not all steps are necessary. But it's how I did it and I'm just tossing it out there for anyone else who may need help with this.
----------------------------------------
1) Click the hard button at the bottom left of phone.
2) Select "System settings".
3) Scroll down the list till you get to "ACCOUNTS" subsection.
4) Click the Google option.
5) Click the Google account you use for Play Store purchases.
6) Click the hard button at the bottom left of phone.
7) Select the "Remove account" option.
8) Select the "Remove account" option again.
9) Open Titanium Backup.
10) Scroll allll the way down to the bottom.
11) Now scroll up a few pages till you see several "Google" items. This will be about 90% down the list.
12) Open each item one by one and wipe "cache" or "data", depending on which option is presented.
13) Reboot phone to Recovery mode.
14) Select the "Wipe" option.
15) Select "Advanced Wipe".
16) Put a checkmark on "Dalvik Cache" and "Cache".
17) Swipe to wipe.
18) Click "Back".
19) Go back again.
20) Go back again.
21) At the main menu, click "Advanced".
22) Now click "Fix Permissions".
23) Swipe to Confirm.
24) Click the "Reboot System" button.
25) Let phone sit idle for FIVE minutes after it fully boots up.
26) Ignore any license denied pop-ups from apps looking for your Google account.
27) Agree to the Google location consent (if prompted).
28) Ignore any "... has stopped" messages (these are common/expected in this situation).
29) Click the hard button at the bottom left of phone.
30) Select "System settings".
31) Scroll down the list till you get to "ACCOUNTS" subsection.
32) Select "Add account"
33) Select "Google".
34) Select "Existing".
35) Sign into your Google Account.
36) Uncheck the option for "Keep me up to date with news & offers" (unless you want them) and click "OK".
37) I recommend letting Google keep your phone backed up with your Google Account. Leave this option checked, and click the right-arrow to proceed to the next step.
38) Let phone sit idle for FIVE minutes while it syncs in the background.
39) Reboot phone, then open Play Store and test.
PS. I just did this on my phone again so I could give you the walkthrough steps. And I noticed that my Play Store apk updated itself to the newest version.
You'll also need to re-set up your Play Store settings.

-Auto Update apps over Wifi only
I removed checkmarks from the following items:

I just got one of these from a friend of mine who did a factory reset on it before he gave it to me, and now it asks me to login to a previously used account. Unfortunately, he's terrible at remembering his login information, and he doesn't remember his password for the account he had on this anymore. He doesn't need it because he bought an IPad and doesn't use his google account anymore. So now it's stuck on the login screen. I've looked around and I couldn't find a way to bypass the FRP that I felt I could trust, or that seemed to apply to my device. I was wondering if anyone knew how I could do this?
Well, I didn't figure out how to get rid of the reset protection. But, I did get into the settings and was able to set up and use a guest account.
First get a SD card with an apk on it. I downloaded one from apkpure. Then when the device asks you to connect to a wireless network, check the Show advanced options box. Then in the Proxy settings drop down box, select Manual. And click on the Proxy hostname box to bring up the keyboard, and press the settings button on the keyboard that looks like a gear. From the keyboard settings menu you can click the mulit-window button on the bottom taskbar and can open two windows. Open the file manager in one of the windows. In the file manager click on your SD card and try to install the apk you put on it. When it prompts you that you need to allow Unknown sources in the settings, click on the settings button to open the settings window. (Do not check the allow Unknown sources box, if you check it, and the device resets or runs out of battery you'll have to go through this again, but when you click on the apk it won't prompt you to go to settings to allow unknown sources because they're already allowed.) Now just click on Users and switch to guest. There are some limitations to this mode, like not being able modify the wifi network (you'll have to switch back to the Owner account to change this).
I don't know if there's any way from the guest account to reset the account lock, but at least it's something.
I tried this and got as far as to the part where you said to "click the mulit-window button on the bottom taskbar."
That multi-window button is greyed out for me so I cannot click on it. LG must of patched it up or I am doing something incorrect.
Any other advise will be greatly appreciated!
It's possible it was patched out. They've been fixing little exploits with patches. This is the only way I was able to get any access to the device. All I can really recommend is to try everything. Check every menu, every option, and see if there is opening you can find to get access to the device.

I found a FRP bypass workaround if you are running 5.1.1 on a LG G Pad X 10.1 V930 AT&T model, not sure if all models are the same. It was FRP locked and all of the other bypass methods must have been patched. I was at the setup screen after a factory reset. I hope this helps.
1. Connect to wifi, then go back to start screen
2. Go to Accessibility > Vision > Enable Talkback
3. Go through the talkback training then draw an L to bring up the quick settings select Text to speech Settings (bottom right corner), afterwards you can disable Talkback by holding the power button and holding 2 fingers on the screen until it disables.
4. You will be in the settings app. Go to Users > Add user > User > Add user > Set up
5. You will be brought to a User setup screen select Next > It will pop up the wifi connection screen select next > You will be asked to sign into a Google account, sign into your Google account and proceed with the Google setup.
6. You will be brought to the homescreen. Go to settings > Users > And sign in as Owner.
7. Go to Settings > Factory data reset > Reset tablet. You can now factory reset and you will not be prompted to sign into a Google account.
