I want to set the NC up for wife and use her Gmail address instead of mine. I can add her email address but I cannot delete my account(primary). Titanium backup won't fine my apps so I can't try clearing cache or anything. Do I need to Clear all Data and start over? Would it be best to do through Clockwork or using the B&N (Erase and Deregister device). Is there another way?

I am using Vaniljeclair Release 11 on a Sprint HTC Touch, on the SD Card via Haret. My system isn't very stable, so I must occasionally reinstall the system. I recently reinstalled and reloaded my data partition from a backup. As a result, my GMail cache is now out of sync. There are plenty of pages which detail how to clear the cache, but they appear to be inappropriate for my system, as the expected entries do not exist in "Manage Applications."
How does one clear the cache and re-sync without those entries? Do I need to delete something with Astro?
Thanks,

my experiences in situations like this, you need to get rid of your backup and do a full clean boot. you can use astro to backup your apps, but as far as data, i have never been able to use a data restore- best suggestion- store as much on mmc as you can that way there is not that much to restore- just use astro to fine the file and open it again---
hope it helps
How I can backup aps with astro?
Sent from my HTC Kaiser Ion using XDA App
from astro, hit power button (to bring up sub menu) tap tools and that will give you the app manager/backup option.
Hi all,
I am currently using Webstar's Ultimate ROM v7.2 but have decided to switch to Darky's latest.
I plan to do a full wipe during the installation.
I have downloaded titanium backup from the Market, and paid for the full version. But I don’t know how to use it!
I’ve just told it to do a batch backup of all user apps and data.
When I install the wipe ROM I will of course be wanting to restore EVERYTHING.
Will titanium be able to do this? Will it restore all my apps/ games/ games scores [angry birds/ grave defence Etc]?
Will it restore all my SMS/ Emails?
Will it restore my desktop wallpaper/ widgets/ launcher pro settings?
Finally when I come to do the restore, do I select the RUN – restore missing apps + all system data?
Thank you all in advance
Matt
Sometimes i have noticed that if you backup system data and restore it on another rom it can cause some issues (FC's Unresponsiveness, Apps not working) so its always best to do a wipe version... you can backup Apps + App data but i never backup system data if im moving ROM. but thats upto you...
and as for your sms/ wallpapers/ homescreen arrangement it will not save them.. but some launchers have the option to backup the homescreen so check that first... anything on your internal sd card. back up to your PC.

I agree with azzledazzle.
Use titanium backup to restore your apps and save data but i would use it for much else than that.
When you wipe your phone it will ask you to input your email account anyway on the first boot up So all your email will be back,
You will lose your sms though...
If you use gmail sync all your contact to your gmail account so they will all be put back on your phone autimatically on the first boot.
Hope that helps a bit.

+1 this is the best method. your emails will stay intact, as for a few sms there not worth keeping (unless they are dirty sms from a dirty woman) lol
I have CM7.2 and clockworkmod recovery. I've noticed recently that I'll snyc my facebook contacts, set my keyboard under settings, etc. If I reboot, all of that is gone. I have to uninstall facebook app and re-install to resync everything, I have to go into settings and re select my keyboards.
When I first flashed CM7 I did a full data wipe and rest, cleared cache, etc. I use Titanium Backup for scheduled backups if that matters. I don't actually know if other things are getting reset as well wen I reboot, but those are the obvious things I notice.
I would really like to avoid having to wipe this all and start from scratch.
Thanks in advance
Are you using something like s2e / apps2se? If so you may need to have Facebook data saving in internal memory rather than on the SD card.
That's about all I can think of, but hopefully it helps.

Yes, I do use apps2sd and have facebook saved to SD. I'll change that and see if it helps.
This actually doesn't make a lot of sense to me. And unfortunately, FB takes up around 12 MG on my phone, so I was trying to keep it on my SD. After I reboot, if I go into FB, it's set to don't sync contacts, even though I had previously set it to sync all contacts. I figured once the SD card is remounted, the synced info would come back.
Also, still not sure why my keyboards are all unchecked after reboot. Am I required to have Android Keyboard installed?

Unfortunately, that is the way it is if you move Facebook or Twitter app to SD and after reboot you will have to enter username and password again. My understanding is because of security concern.
You have your keyboard installed to the sdcard as well which is why you have to select it again on reboot.

Got the ICS OTA update. Liking it, but read hear and on other forums a Factory default result is recommended to clear/clean up remnants
from Gingerbread. I dont know who it works, but since I've downloaded and tried hundreds of other apps, I bet they have remnants laying around also.
I've rooted my phone (razs_edge)
I've installed the free version of Titanium Backup and ran a backup with system data + all apps +data
I've about to due the FDR. Should I also wipe the internal SD card? or just the FDR?
Once FDR is done, should I actually restore EVERYTHING. or will that restore to much?
I just want plain system data back, and they the apps that I really want to keep.
which restore method do you suggest?
The best way to restore after an FDR is to let your apps restore from the Market. Most will restore automatically, the rest you can restore manually. The only things I would restore from a TiBu would be data from user apps like games, or things like bookmarks. Restoring System apps and most system data is a good way to mess up your clean FDR. Your sd-ext is not wiped by an FDR, but I think the internal sdcard is. Just back it up to the computer before the FDR so you can restore any of it if necessary. All your gmail and gcontacts will be back on sync if you've set 'Back up my data' and 'Automatic restore' under settings > Backup and reset.

Great reply! Thanks.
I know contacts and calendar and stuff will be restored from Google servers. Not sure how important to me they are,
but are SMS messages restored from Google. or do I restore those manually via TiBu? I glaced at the 270ish entries and nothing jumped
out at being the one for SMS messages.
Thanks.
Sorry, forgot about sms because I use Google Voice and they stay in the cloud (and remain available) unless I delete them. I think there is an app in Play Market that will backup/restore your messages. I think TiBu can do that also, but I'm not sure which setting does that.
Edit: In TiBu, if you touch the 'folder' thing at the top right, and choose to backup all user apps + data, you can select 'Messages(SMS & MMS)' to back them up.

Great thanks. I didnt know what the sms/mms was called. If I had scrolled through the list slower I would have seen the green font
(must be for system apps and/or data) names messages (sms/mms). so it does appear to save those.
still very new to TiBu. I'll learn. Thanks for the help.

My BLU R1 HD froze, and at reboot it jumps to the colorful BLU banner page before or shortly after entering my unlock code. BLU Tech Support says I need to perform a Factory Reset, but could not provide additional assistance. I see that one of the options on my phone's Android Recovery Menu is to backup user data to SD Card. My questions are: 1) Will this backup save all of my user account settings, to make it easier to recover my apps and items such my corporate exchange email? And if so, then 2) what are the steps to use this SD Card backup to recover everything after the Factory Reset? (please note that I do not know if I had the phone set up to auto backup to Google)

FYI this issue occurred when I clicked on a Google Maps link for a customer site I was visiting -my Google Maps app started up and then Android crashed as I described previously.
I have since performed the factory reset, then tried to use the user data backup I stored onto an SD Card but that failed. However I did find that I had everything automatically backed up to Google, but when I restored all of my apps then the original issue with Android crashing returned. If I don't restore the apps from the Google backup then the phone works fine. I'd like to try restoring all of the apps except for Google Maps but it's not a standalone app -it's part of something else. If anyone has heard of a similar issue or has a suggestion so I don't have to manually reload all of my apps it will be appreciated.
