I cannot find Accounts and Sync in the settings menu. Is this disabled in touchwiz? am I blind? Is there another way? It seems Gmail is not syncing even with battery pull. Where the heck is the sync setting?
/ EDIT ...ok it seems I must've removed it through Titanium Backup, of course the back-up is there, but wont restore. Can someone explain to me how to find the file in the odexed stock rom?
The apk should be in the system/app folder. If you removed it with Titanium Backup, you might not find it there anymore.

i own a rooted epic 4g and my primary gmail account password got changed. now ive lost access to the android marketplace.
i looked around online and the only solution ive seen is to 'factory data reset'. i dont want to reset my phone, though. ive also tried going to my sync list and deleting my primary gmail but it wont let me.
does anyone know of an easier solution? if not, i suppose ill just do a nand backup, reset my phone, and then nand restore everything. or will that not even work?
please help!

Add a second account through Accounts & Sync, then delete the first account.
Or, when you restore (I'm assuming through Titanium Backup), don't restore system apps/data, just user apps.
Couldn't you just reset your Gmail password? Then, open the Gmail app - it should ask you for your password - and input your new password.

i did add the second account but when i go to delete my original email account, it says i cant delete it.
no, ive always used just the basic nand backup and restore. and i cant access the app store to download titanium because i need an functioning email account to do it.
yes, i tried to restore my password but apparently i didnt provide enough accurate information. i could only answer a select few questions i actually knew.
Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
Find junk with Google in its name, click on it, choose clear data. Wash, rinse, repeat until done.
Here's a link to Titanium Backup from my Dropbox: http://db.tt/K2lwLwm
Download & install it. Then, backup all user apps and data. If you've already done a nandroid backup, just do a factory reset or go into recovery and wipe & flash a new rom.
When the rom boots, put in your other Gmail account that you know the password for and that'll be your new primary Gmail account. You can then restore your apps with Titanium Backup.

just curious, will this delete all my numbers? i should write them all down just in case, though.

if your numbers are backed up and visible in your gmail contacts, you should be fine.
I removed all the Facebook crap from my phone when I first got it, but now I'm putting it up on eBay and I'd like to put it back on for the sale.
I backed it up then uninstalled it using Titanium Backup, so I just went into TB and tried to restore Facebook for HTC Sense but it isn't working. It just says it's restoring and sits there forever, nothing actually happens. Installing from unknown sources is turned on in my settings and I've tried rebooting.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem, in fact titanium was unable to restore any of the system apps. I had a nandroid backup and i used nandroid browser (available on market) and extracted the right apk's and put them in their respective folder and rebooted. Eureka! Everything was just like before. It Works! Try it out if you can.
Yeah TB seems to hate all my system apps
I think I'll just load a ROM onto it or something, might sell for a little more like that anyway
Have you tried the "restore missing apps + data" option?
And I think because it was a system app and you uninstalled it, the only fix I could think of is put the apk in the /system/app folder & change permissions (if you have a backup of the actual apk files taken from the /system/app folder). Or I would just go ahead with a clean flash of the stock rom. Atleast it would technically be factory set and ready to sell.

In the end I just reinstalled the stock ROM
Hi to everyone.
I am Tommaso, from Tokyo and I need help BIG time.
I backed up all my contacts on my SD card and deleted them from my phone.
When I restored them some "fields" were missing, amongst them "organization" which is vital for sorting: Now I get a long list of numbers (*) and then the remaining contacts sorted by name (correctly). (*) In these contacts the "organization", "Job Position" and others are missing while others as "notes" and numbers are still there.
When I try to send an email, and I try to look up an email address, instead of giving me a list of names, it opens File Expert, with a file address: fe://home and nothing else.
To back up I used Go Contacts (the stock app is disinstalled): export to SD card.
In theory, besides this original backup, I should also have a second back up with Titanium because it is set to backup & syncs with dropbox everything, every night. However, this happened last night and I forgot to freeze the image so I am afraid that tonight's back up might have replaced the correct version.
hTC Desire HD.
GB 2.3.5
Sense 3.5
CoreDroid 9.2 GB 2.3.5
I would really appreciate someone's help. You can imagine how dramatic it is, so TIA for any help.
Tommaso
Idea
Why not first use the back up to restore your phone first then
Go ahead and check the things inside the back up
Sorry if i am wrong it sounds like you are actually checking the contacts on the back up itself rather than letting the phone restore the back up and then viewing the contents
if i am wrong sorry for the speculation
I would like to ask also try using other Apps to restore Back up and restore
I would ask also what is the file output that you have ?
for your back up ?
Thank you for your post!
I did as you suggest: I physically restored the contacts to the phone.
Ok, I will try to install another app but it is unlikely anything will change: I backed up using Go Contacts so restoring with Go Contacts should have worked.
Go Contacts backup file is "vcf"
Titanium backup file I don't know what it's called or where to find it.

Did you say that your Titanium Backup for the contacts was already overwritten?
If you have set up Titanium to backup your apps/data automatically on a schedule, you should preferably set the backup history to more than 1. This is in case there is an error in one of your apps, and the automatic backup saves the erroneous version, you can restore an older backup from the history. Otherwise, your last backup will also be corrupted.
If your think your Titanium Backup for Contacts is fine, you don't need to look for the contacts file separately. Just go into titanium backup -> clcik on the back/up restore tab on the top -> look for Contacts -> Click once -> Click on Restore.
Repeat the above for Contacts Storage.
Not sure if I addressed your problem.
Thanks for your help!
I tried to restore from titanium back but I could only find GoContatcs. I cannot find "contacts storage". As I said, I have no idea if AND where GoContacts stores the contacts separately so i don't know which file to look for to restore.
I restored GoContacts (app+Data) but 0 contacts were restored.
Thanks for the tip. I am now setting Titanium BU to 2 backups. But I still need help!
Restore ROM Manager Backup
If I restore a previously backed up ROM, will this include contacts?
To restore a previously backed up ROM, do I need to FIRST factory reset the device? Or does the restore simply overwrite my present ROM? Do I need any other precaution/procedure to restore a previous ROM?

Hey guys,
I've recently changed my rom to slimkat and I had some important notes that i stashed in my google keep. Luckily i have a backup of the app and data on my titanium from when i used to run that version of google keep on beanstalk.
I've tried restoring the app on my current slimkat rom, but it wont let me. Whats the easiest way for me to retrieve those notes?
Cheers
Mubs
google keep notes are backed up with your google account, you dont need to backup the data using titanium backup.
log in to https://drive.google.com/keep/ and sign in with your google account. does the notes appear? if not then you will need to set auto sync on your phone and make sure keep is synced.

Google keep should be synced across your devices.. ? Check https://keep.google.com/
If your notes are there then they've been synced and syncing to your new rom should be fine. If they're not there then either you didn't sync it and now would need to restore the app's data rather than the whole app.
Thanks for the replys.
I've tried that and my old notes don't appear. Maybe I didn't sync them using Google before.
Whats my next option? Ive also gone and installed keep off play store. Now that I try to uninstall it using titanium it says failed to uninstall apk file. Come to think of it, its doing the same thing for all the system apps.
If you really need those notes, you may have to reinstall your old ROM, restore the data and sync properly. And restoring system data between different ROMs is often a bad idea.
I managed to sort it.
I installed a fresh copy of keep but had the data transfered over from titanium backup.
I still have the problem where I can't delete system apps though. Can anybody advise on this?
Cheers
Hi, someone noticed that titanium backup integration into system is not working with android lollipop?? (if I remember the same for kit kat ).
I have the lastest pro version 7.0.0.2.
I can´t contact titanium track because the e-mail they provide don´t work (always failed delivery status notification).
How can I contact them?

Yes. It's not working on Lollipop, because apps are not directly in /system/app anymore, but they are in directories one by one. If you want to integrate updates, just use root explorer and move from /data/app to /system/app (permissions are allready ok), clean dalvik cache with TB and reboot. That's it.
EDIT: Forgot to mention. Directories of Velvet.apk, Phonesky.apk and PrebuiltGsmCore.apk are in /system/priv-app. Don't forget to move libs also.

Thanks, but what I want is to do it automatically with titanium backup. I have paid for that, but as I say i can´t contact titanium track, it says the email doesn´t exist.

You can't do it automatically anymore, because off Lollipops different system handling. But you will notice, that for integrating updates things are better now. You don't need to be careful on lib files anymore. For example: some apps, like Maps, Google+, Hangouts and most important GooglePlayServices crashed on KitKat when you integrate them with TB. You have than to extract them and put the matching libs in /system/lib.
Also, as you maybe noticed yet, TB can't restote system apps anymore. From the same reason.
