Deleting accounts

[Guest Wacky.ddw]

My friends are still on bluemonte a october release and i want to update them both to Atomic4

They both want the same keyboard, apps and skins. But i dont want to do it all again so i just want to restore a nandroid to there phone, but then my google account wil still be under "Settings > Accounts & sync settings" but when i press "Remove account" i get:

This account is required by

some applications. You can

only remove it by resetting the

phone to factory defaults

(wich deletes all your

personal data). You do that in

the settings application, under

Privacy.

Ok

Is there anyway arround it? I know you could allso use titanium backup but its still not the same then a pre-configuered nandroid.

Thanks in advance :)

Its to prevent piracy so I don't think you'll be able to do so.

It will still be able to detect the market links from the account so that won't work.

Add their account. install Titanium backup, use the marketplace tools to destroy all marketplace links?

No it did not work, the only way is to flash a new ROM or do factory reset :(

I found this worked for me (can't remember where I found the info).

1. Download Root Explorer from Android Market

2. Explore to /data/system/ and find this file : accounts.db

3. Delete that file (accounts.db)

4. Reboot your Android device.

5. Walla…you can register another account
