I would like to know is it possible to backup an apk that requires an account to be able to used with data for example: Pandora,Netflix,Facebook ect... I know all this can be done with titanium. But my question is there some kinda way that I could get the password for whatever apk with data I back up? Let's say I backup "netflix & data" so when I restore it, it will still have the account that I had it with. so I can still watch anything. Is there away that I could get that password from what titanium back up?

I had forgotten how annoying this feature was with a rooted INC, but now the VZW guy set this up on my new phone...We have google to back up our contacts, we don't need VZW doing it too, let alone daily....Can I turn this off?
Check in Menu > Settings > Account & sync
You can always wipe the phone... then skip through the VZ backup at setup... If you're going to root you'll end up wiping anyways... I always skip through that because like you said... Google already backs up what I need so why do I need VZW doing it as well?
yeah, just skip thru the VZW backup assistant screen during initial setup. if you want to prevent it from running in the background, freeze it with titanium backup or bloat freezer
you can also freeze it with titanium backup
As I read this, I also want to know if I can remove this backup assistant? Seems like a waste since Google already backs up your contacts to your gmail account.
On a related note, is this service from Verizon free?

Yeah it's free. And if you're rooted you can remove it. It's not even in Das BAMF which is nice. There is no use for it unless you're coming from a non-android phone and your contacts are saved with Verizon and you want to restore them. But after that you'd have no reason to use it.
you can proly remove it without adverse effects, but i froze it just in case i needed it later. it's a good idea to freeze apps before uninstalling completely. that way you still have access to them if necessary, which is much quicker & easier than reflashing a rom
as far as i know, it is a free service. however, verizon is notorious for adding bogus charges to your monthly bill. so if you choose to use the service, keep an eye on your bill
It is free if you have an account on the VZW website, otherwise I think it's $2.99 a month.

If your rooted, delete it. Remove both apk's from the /system/app folder. First thing I do. Absolutely no need for it.

Only perk I see to it is Google never backs all my contacts up. Don't know why, so I still use backup assistant.

Make sure the drop arrow on the top when you add a contact is set to Google. It is set to phone by default. After you set it the contacts that are added with sync with Google.

I have the Nexus S and recently, I came under the suspicion that my Gmail was hacked. So I went on my computer and changed my Gmail password. But now, my phone has become a wreck. It cannot sync with my gmail, I can't even access the Market. I cannot seem to find a way to change the password on the phone to my current password for Gmail. Is there any way to do this without deleting the main account on the phone? I really do not want to reset my phone for simply needing to change my password...
Not to be a fun sponge but since its your primary device account you may be out of luck.

I would recommend using mybackup root to backup your call log, mms, sms (texts) and titanium backup root to backup your apps. Makes the reset hurt way less

I guess that's my only option. Can't believe Google has made it this much of a hassle for a simple password change. Thanks man.
No no dont hard reset for such an easy stuff!
Just pop in another sim card and for privacy the password will be removed, then insert the right one
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
If your phone is cdma and you cannot switch the sim card, you can just delete the gmail account settings from the application manager (i dont remember the english name), anyway, wiping for something like that, is like throwing an atomic bomb to kill mosquitoes

It won't let you delete the primary device account even if you have another gmail account attached. :-(

I am not sure in gingerbread, but in previous version was possible to let the system forget the account by just removing user data for something like "gmail archive" (not sure about english name)
And if you change the sim card, you have to reinsert the password, happened many times to me, annoying

so i want to switch to aosp rom from my stock rom so i was wondering should i only restore data and apps?
is there a problem with restoring system?
also my texts and contacts and stuff they would also be restored right?
Yes. Apps+data is ex: angry birds and your progress.
Say if you were to back up system data and restore it, like maps, carrier IQ, and others. There is no point because they might be outdated or they might have been taken out for a reason, and you just reinstalled them. Carrier IQ is the perfect example.
So a simple batch operation that is "back up all user apps+data" is all you need.
The only sys data that is worth it is "wifi access points" that's your recent wifi networks and passwords

Just reread it.
Yes just restore user apps + data.
Don't want you bloating up a ROM now.
No your texts won't be restored.
Your contacts will restore automatically, but only if they're synced with your Gmail.
So I would go on Gmail and see if all my contacts are there.

[Q] My wife and I have both our google accounts on her XOOM. Now that I have my own Fire, if I remove my account off her XOOM will she lose all the apps that were downloaded under my account?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA
Most likely, yes. The apps bought/downloaded into your account are linked to it.
That's what I was thinking. What about backing up the apps and data with Titanium Backup, remove my account, then restore apps and data?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA
You should beable to just remove the account. If that doesn't work, tb should do the trick (although it may be considered Warez at that point).

I'm not certain, but the apps could stay there, but not be updatable via market.
I have apps not purchased via market, and all that I get when I try to manually update (need to find first, doesn't show up under 'my apps') is "not purchased".
I tested this out on my Fire by adding her account and then downloading a game. When I removed her account, the app and progress I made stayed but it did not show under my apps in the market. Guess we'll just have to manually search for the app if we want to see if there are any updates.

I am getting a replacement phone today and I was just wondering if there was a good app that will back up all of my sms messages to my SD card? That way when the new phone comes I can just pop the card in and be on my way.
Doesn't TiBu do this?

Im not sure. I should also note that I am not by any means rooted at all
I've used mybackup pro for years when switching between roms and devices. Between that, titanium backup pro and backing up settings in apex it makes it pretty painless to switch.

Use SMS backup and restore
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
I use TiBu and I know when I first started using it a couple years ago it didn't back up SMS. It indeed might now, but it's not part of my routine. I only use it for user installed apps and nothing system related as I've screwed up a install with bringing over system data from Eclair to Froyo one time...
Anyway, in the past I used the backup provided in Go Sms, but now they want you to backup and restore to their cloud servers, so I switched to SMS Backup and Restore from the Play store. One button backup...one button restore. Worked like a charm....
