Database Info

change Android market account

Sorry, as you can see, its my first post and i dont exactly know where to put, but i want to share,because i spend hours of searching the net and my device.
I had the problem, that i forgot the password for the googlemail-account linked to the market and found no solution to change it. So i searched a little bit and found a fast solution which was working for me.
So i just took the /data/system/accounts.db file, opened it by using SQLite Database Browser and changed the address to the new one and deleted the stored password. After reboot and accessing the market, i was asked for the password, entered the new one and voila, all was fine.
Sorry, if its the wrong forum.
btw, my device is a rooted desire, with "Official_FroYo_Market_fixed" ROM

Interesting!
Is it also possible to change a google account without resetting whole device?

Yes it is possible.
It was my aim to change it without resetting the device and this is the solution. No need to reset anything.

download the free Super Manager from the market, give it root , keep moving up folders to root, go to /data/system/ and just delete accounts.db it is quicker to just reenter the account info , by the time you go through all the steps to edit that file and the know what to change your finished entering the account info, I just had to do this I put my wifes account on my phone, tried everyway to remove her which a search landed me here, I downloaded Sq but just to much to do so I found super manager while searching the market for help

Thanks for the hint! Deleting the accounts.db worked very well for me.

Great share, thank you!
Another aspect is the mail associated with a purchase. Currently I can change the email for my vendor account, but it isn't possible to shift the purchase profile to another email account as far as I know.
If anybody got an idea/solution to that, it would be more than appreciated.

guys,
I need help, I read above method of reset market logon, so I deleted account.db with rootexplorer. Then I start market again, it ask me signon. This is working, remove my wife logon information.
Then I put in detail id and password, but I am getting network error, my phone on 3G network, my browser able to visit any web page. But the market apps just not connecting. What did I do want ?
thanks
James

this worked for market, but unfortunately not for google talk.

[Q] amazon appstore registered email address

sorry if this is posted elswhere but i have look for the past hour for this answer.
i have the amazon appstore installed on my desire hd, but im in the uk.
i made a fake email and set it up to look like im in the US.
now i want to install custom mods on my phone but i cant remember the email i used to register with amazon.
no where can i find it mentioned in the app and no where can i find any data on my unrooted DHD.
i no what password i used but just need the email i used.
is there anyway i can find out which email ive used.
i ask because i dont want to lose all the free apps of the day that i have.
thanks in advance

Same problem here... I dont think its possible to recover login email. the appstore saves an encrypted file with your device data, so if you backup and then restore in the same device, should be no problem

move bookmarks from stock android browser to chrome beta

Hello everyone. I have an un-rooted Xoom and did not see this question posted anywhere, so I thought I'd ask it here:
Is there a way to move the bookmarks from the stock android browser to chrome beta (both on the Xoom) without the use of a desktop to sync?
Thanks for your help!

No one's had this issue?

Seriously?!!

I don't think you can. However, you can extract the bookmarks from the stock browser by following the steps in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475892
and import them into chrome. I haven't done this, so I do not know which format the extracted bookmarks would be in.

Found this thread thru Google, because exact same problem also bothered me.
Nobody came up with a simple solution for Tetragrammaton?
Well if anybdoy else is wondering:
No, there is no direct approach, only thru the Google's cloud (no desktop PC needed).
Go into stock Android ICS Browser and then menu->Bookmarks->long click on a bookmark you want it synced and then choose "Edit" and there you'll see "Account:" change from "Local" to your Google's account.
You'll will have to go thru this process for all of your bookmarked links. :/
If you don't want to wait in order for the bookmarks to sync go into Settings->Accounts & Sync->your Google account->uncheck+check Browser and let it sync; and then uncheck+check Chrome and let it sync.
All done!

I know this is a motorola tablet thread, but the answer should be the same. This is very simple on my galaxy S3. Open chrome, hit menu button, go to settings, then hit the menu button again, another sub-menu will pop up with a direct import bookmarks option, click that and from there its pretty self explanatory. Hope that works on your tablet.

I deleted the linkify stuff with root explorer and now youtube runs as an app and phone number links bring up the dialer. If you don't want to pay for RE, try Estrong File Manager, but it's root access is a bit tricky to figure out...you need to go into the settings to enable each time, I found.

thanks i was able to edit and delete the htc linkify file using the app u sugested... but im still not able to get the PHONE NUMBER ACTION screen when i click a number in a app... this is very frustrating and i dont understand y only nexus one is able to popup that screen...

I can't help you fix the issue. But as for your last question... HTC was forced to remove it due to Apple patent litigation.

I am wondering the same thing. There are obviously more threads related to HTClinkifydispatcher, and the build.prop changes that are supposed to return functionality that HTC removed to comply with Apple patent requirements. However, this is what I have found. I am able to click links, Youtube links, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses in emails, texts, etc. from my bone stock Evo LTE. However, these links will only launch in the default application selected in the HTC App Association Settings menu. After rooting and making changes to build.prop (using Build Prop Editor eliminates issues with multiple entries of the same property), I am able to get selection option menus for certain linkable items. For example, Youtube links give options for browsers, or Youtube app. Email addresses, let me choose to send email using any of the email accounts I have set-up. HTML links let me choose between stock browser or Chrome. And addreses let me select to open in browsers or Google Maps. However, clicking on a phone number simply launches the phone dialer (just like stock), and does not give me the option to send a text message. Also, email addresses and phone numbers do not give an option to add a contact.
I have discovered that options are only provided if there are options that can be selected in the app associations menu. For example, the options I have in the app associations menu match exactly with the options I am presented when clicking linkable data as per above. However, if the app associations menu does not have options (in my menu the only association I can make to phone numbers is to the phone dialer) then the default (only) option will be launched when that data is selected. Does anyone else have send SMS or MMS text message as an option for phone numbers in the app association menu, or when clicking phone numbers in text after making the build.prop changes?
I think these workarounds are close, but IMHO we still do not have the true functionality that was removed due to the apple patent.

[Q] How should I prevent someone spying on my phone, through a hidden app?

Hallo people friends,
A business partner of my friend has installed a spy software called ispyoo , on my friends unrooted android phone. How should we remove it?
the app is invisible. and it can only be uninstalled by loginng in to the ispyoo . com website with usersname and password.
We want to remove it manually.
Thank you , see you.

i dont know the app you mentioned, but im guessing if you go into the system app folder, you probably would be able to see it there, and delete it.
EDIT: i looked into ispyoo a bit, try dialling
#4779*
and see what that gives you.

Thank you very much for reply. ))
But the app isnt showing in system folder too. That number is not working either. you can see how they trickfully said on that website "(Once iSpyoo is installed you will find a new icon on your phone. Or to make dial #4779* to open iSpyoo.)"
They dont want users to remove it easily.
But we know its there, because he got email confirmation of ispyoo is activated. And whatsapp conversation word files are being created automatically..

well its an app, so it definitely has to be somewhere. you can try /device>data>app, thats where user apps are, it might be there. failing that, i would download es file explorer and go the topmost folder, that contains all other folders, and search for all apk files, it probably will find it. if it dosent, search again with ispyoo as the saerch keyword, if tthat still hasnt found it use recovery to totally wipe the entire device.
or just ask the person who put it on to remove it.

Hallo
They have option to login to the website with usersname and password, and then go to uninstall option. It gets uninstalled from there to your phone.
We cornered the guy!!, and then he(scared) removed it using the users name and password he signed up for it. (A legendary old method for app solution!)
It even had option to disallow certain apps, or stop apps in the target phone. Do you believe? Now all good.
Thank you for your concern and help )
see you

Hello bro, were you able to remove it from iphone? I had no idea... may be you reset the iphone? I hope something worked for you.

so, question still remains, how do you check the program is installed or not if it is hidden?

To check if the app is installed or not (while its hidden) you should have root access in your phone. Open the root directory and system folder and search for the installed apps. In this folder you will see all the installed apps on your phone wether they are hidden or visible.
Btw these days not only the syping apps are spying on users but even the utility or gaming apps spy on users via microphone or taking screenshots of device display to collect data and show revelent ads to them.
