no reply at all
To delete all apps data must make your phone look like reset. Manually without resetting you can go to '/data/dalvik-cache/' and delete everything and reboot in case you have root and a root explorer

Option 1(easy but I do not recommend it): Settings ->account & sync ->Menage accounts -> click your google account-> delete it.
Option 2. Enter in CWM. Hard reset your phone. All data will be gone.
Only in ICS you can delete the primary account.
In others version of Android you have to restore the phone.
Settings-Privacy-Factory Data Reset.
You can use Root explorer to delete the file "account.db" in : /data/system. Then reboot.

Planning on rooting my Inspire 4g and adding a custom rom. Most of the rom install instructions ask for factory reset and wipe. I'm guessing this means, I will probably loose apps, contacts and app data. Is there a way to save the app states with data and recover these?
I think Google play and Google should help me out app reinstall and contacts. But not sure if I can recover these just in 1 go without having to push an app at a time from Google play. Not sure if there is a way to backup and restore app data

After you root your phone use a backup program like titanium backup to save your play store apps with data. Only save stuff downloaded from store though as backing up system stuff and restoring on other roms will cause issues.

Make sure you read the OP (original post) on any custom ROM you're looking into. Sometimes using a program like Titanium backup can cause a ROM to act buggy. And sometimes everything works perfectly with your restored data... just wanted to give you a heads up.
EDIT: I just re-read Gizmoe's post above... Sorry for being redundant.
I have found an app that says that leaves no traces when unistallong an application the name is : uninstall perfect uninstaller
Should i trust it? Is it worth it to install something like this? Or is it the same work as delete data and cache and then unistall?

What else can it delete??? What else is there other than cache, data and app??
Maybe it just deletes these You can better contact the app developer asking what it does.
Only that'll help

I don't care what the app says - don't trust it. You don't need an extra app just to "completely" uninstall apps; you just need root access and a root-enabled file explorer. Using those two resources, you can uninstall your app, delete the app's data folder from /data/data, as well as clear the cache and dalvik cache. Everything you need.

its unnecessary, just root the phone, uninstall normally as It wont leave a trace unless few apps like titatnium backup, greenify leave odex files behind.
so U can use any root explorer apps and delete them in data/app folder.
hit thanks if helped
I've Rooted Gionee M2 8GB (KitKat). I have uninstalled some system apps . They uninstalled successfully as these apps are no more in the applications. But after i do a reset these are installed again.
I know its not a problem as I never face one. But I wanna remove those apps so that they don't come again with a reset. Is there any way to do this??
Use system app remover.apk
Hi, to permanently remove the apps, you need a system app remover, I have linked good one below, however, it does require root access.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp&hl=en
You have to remove it from thia directory...
Root/system/app/
By removing from here it will not come back by reseting..
Use root explorer for this action...
Don't forget to click thanks.... [emoji10] [emoji9]

i would like to install google prey or similar apps as an system app, or default app so when you factory reset the device it is already installed with the user and configuration, are the tutorials "installing app as system app" the ones that will work?
any tips for where to go or what to do? thanks

If you're rooted you can use Titanium Backup to convert it to a system app or you can use ES File Explorer with root explorer enabled to manually push it to your /system/app folder then boot to recovery and wipe cache and Dalvik/Art cache then reboot to system.
You can also use adb to adb push it to /system/app folder.

It won't delete the app but it will delete the settings but you can also use Titanium Backup to backup and restore the app data for that app, you can also backup the app data to google and you can restore it from Google.

but will titanium backup survive factory reset?
do any one know if you can also move the settings to specific locations to avoid them being deleted? for airdroid, or google prey or any other app that can track?
for airdroid the apk and the lib files hat to be moved to system folders and it stays after a factory reset, but anything that looses the settings over a factory reset is pretty much useless for stolen devices, the first step a thief takes is factory reset and format the device. all aps on play store is as good as nothing when it comes to recovering a stolen device. :silly:

Titanium Backup will back up whatever apps, app data and settings that you want it to.
You can use Titanium Backup to make itself a system app, it won't get removed by the factory reset, then just use it to restore everything that you backed up.
There is plenty of information about all of this all over XDA and all over the internet if you'll just take the time to do some searching. Get off your butt and get to looking and you'll see.
As for the device being stolen, there are apps that you can install on the device that can be used to lock the device or wipe the device or even track the device to its location or last known location, whichever of those apps you use to secure your device can also be made into system apps using Titanium Backup. Then if its stolen and wiped the apps will still be there.
It isn't rocket science, why are you over thinking and complicating it?

hi, i'm not trying to over complicating it, the thing is that i tried moving aps like google prey and airdroid that can locate a device to the system folders but when i factory reset the device, the apps are there but the configuration of the aps is gone, i want the configuration to stay alive with the aps, because thieves just factory reset the device at the moment they steal it and then you kiss your device good bye, at least if i can get the configuration to stay alive then i have a 50% chance against thieves, at the moment the chance is next to none.
the reason i ask is to not waste time testing things that some one already know, i searched but don't find good tutorials on that, and i'm not sure if Titanium Backup will work for that, i was expecting some one knowing the software like Titanium Backup can tel me that if i do convert an app to a system app with Titanium, that the system app and its configuration will sirvive a reset and not just the app.
i will test Titanium Backup later today when i have some free time, thanks

Factory reset removes all data and settings when you factory reset even for system apps, there is no way to protect that data from a factory reset. You can back it up and restore it but you can't prevent it from being wiped.
There is an alternative though, you can remove the recovery, then turn USB debugging off then password/PIN protect your system settings app.
Removing recovery ensures that they can't use recovery to factory reset.
Turning off USB debugging ensures that they can't flash the device with PC or use adb/fastboot because PC won't recognise the device.
Password/PIN protecting your system settings app prevents them from getting into your system settings so they can't factory reset from settings.
The one issue with this setup is that if your device encounters an issue where it won't boot or bootloops then even YOU won't be able to fix it because you won't have recovery and you won't be able to connect to PC because you won't be able to get into settings to turn USB debugging back on to be able to flash it.
Research these things to verify its safe to do on your device because all devices are different and things are different depending on the device in question.

thank you
I'm interested in this topic, since nobody seems care that much to write up a friendly method to do that...
Not friendly
These guys claim to know these things but fail to even give a link to a tutorial on how to do it. Its infuriating. They tell us to research but asking here on XDA is part of research. Pls give a valid tutorial on how to secure prey data so it doesn't get deleted.
