How to change primary gmail?

[cbux5000]

I want to change the primary gmail account attached to the app market to a a different gmail than the one that the people at the Verizon store set up. I've been searching around -- most people have said to just do a factory reset. However, I found this discussion about changing it on a G1 How to change the primary gmail account on android g1 tmobile phone - 611Connect Blog | Cell Phone Reviews, New Cell Phones, Cell Phone How Toand was wondering if the same solution that "Dac@ Android Developer" provides would work on the Droid with 2.0. His solution was:

1. Setting > Application > Manage Application > Clear Data from Google Storage
2. Re-create GMail shortcut

Apparently this worked great for people with G1s. Am I missing something...or will these instructions just not work with 2.0...?

I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone had any insight into this subject.
Thanks.

Hard reset is the only way that I have heard to do that....

I changed my address via factory reset. Had to re-purchase any apps that I bought. I did this cause I was unable to switch GTalk usernames. Wish there was a way.

Alright, think I'm gonna take the plunge and just do the factory reset. Any way I can save backup my text messages?

I think I've found a solution.

I used a fix that another guy found out about (deleting the data for google apps)

You have to go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Google Apps

Then click on the "Clear Data" button.

After that, go back to the settings page and select "Data Synchronization"

It'll take you to the google account setup screen.
