Modifying My GMail Account to My Android Account

I signed up with Google Docs and I am trying to get everything under one roof. However, I cannot figure out how to change the email account that is associated with my Dell Streak 7.
I added the email account but I cannot figure out how to associate this account to my tablet.
Can this be done and if so how?

I have found a lot of threads
How do I change the google account associated with the android market account on my Droid?
Change default Google account [SOLVED] - this one did not work for me
Remove/change main google account
Is it possible to change your linked gmail account or do you have to do a phone reset - I don't have "Google Apps" in the settings.
I really don't want to do a factory reset. I also found RemoveAccGoogle Desire.rar - but I don't know if this will really work.
Thanks!

This is basically what I did and it seemed to work:
This is what I did - before doing a factory reset and it has worked out well for me.
I went into the Android Market and looked at all my downloads. I then chose View source to get the page information and pasted it into Expression Web. This of course created a basic replica of the pages. Fortunately, it was only three pages.
Once this was done, I removed the SD card, just in case. I then did the factory reset and added my new account. I can now easily click on the links from the pages to install the programs.
Maybe removing the SD card did not allow the programs that were installed on there to be "re-installed", but it should not matter.
Maybe there was a different way but I could not get them to work.

Just in case here is the final pages with the Google Account change. I have not installed the new apps just yet, but maybe this will help some people:
Page 1
Page 2
Page 3

I thought google allowed linking the two accounts.

[Q] Can't add Facebook to the list of accounts

No problem with linkedin and others. But when I try to add Facebook, I'm kicked back to the list of accounts.
Tried to reinstall facebooks, tried to clear the FB data ad cache. Even was not possible to add FB account after installing a stock 4.0.4 ROM from google (after full phone erase).
Google and FB are not friends anymore?

Facebook's Fault
Facebook never made or modified an ICS version for there app. Consequently you cannot add account and phone will not sync. There are numerous fix solutions with root. My Gnex is not rooted so I simply use an app called SyncMyPix in Play Store. This app will at least sync you photos for contact purposes. Facebook just need to optimize for ICS and things will work better!

The issue is actually Facebook not using the correct API for contact sync and hasn't moved on the issue for over a year: http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/22/google-disables-contact-sync-in-facebook-for-android-only-nexus/
If you want a deeper integration on stock android like status updates in you "people" app you can get something like HaxSync (don't know if there is a better or free solution).

Do local contacts exist on ICS on Desire?

Last some days I made an experiments with different ICS ROMs on my Desire.
I tried Sandvold's ROM v0.13 and latest COS-Bravo.
And I found a problem with contacts. ICS on Desire do not let me save a contact as a local phone contact. Remember, on 2.2 there was an option: store to phone, or store into gmail, also it was a possibility to link contacts.
Now the only way - to save save contact as gmail contact.
Does anybody able to save local contacts?

Not sure about local contacts option, but the linking contacts option is a feature in HTC Sense so unless you use that then it will probably not give you the option you are used to. Some ROM's do have alternative features which do the same thing though.

On BCM the same. Only able to store contacts as Google contacts. But hey, who wants local contacts anyway nowadays?

on COS-Bravo it is a possibility of linking. But what the reason for linking gmail with gmail?

Pity...
I hate g-contacts because it spoils photos.
And the main idea - I don't want all my contacts in Gmail (what for?) and all gmail contacts in Phone (lot's of trash, useless to search).
So I think this function is nessesary

here's my fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1808037

Cyanogenmod Accounts

http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/cyanogenmod-account
i think its a step in the right direction. Would love to see them replace google accounts though.. And a system that transfers all your google account stuff (contacts, calander, etc etc) to your cyanogen mod account

Contacts sync to Google

Stefan / Germany.
Thanks everyone for Your service!
My Redmi Note8T doesn't synchronize my contacts to the Google cloud.
As contra measures to excessive advertising I deleteded all system updates and didn't create a Miui account.
The latter I read could be the cause for my contacts not to sync into the Google cloud. I have tried to work around that by installing the Google contact synchronisation app from the Google Play Store but it didn't download at all. So I tried APKMirror where the app was available in several 6+ and 10 versions with nothing in between to match P9 (according to Droid info my system software at hand).
I chose the latest 6+ version but cannot locate the executed app nor do the contacts sync with Google now …
Thanks so much for Your help.

Regards the ads, you have in settings on every app (or almost) the ads/personalize ads to choose from showing or not.
Regards the contacts issue, enter to /Settings/Google/Settings for Google app/Google Contacts sync and check that all is correct there.

Unfortunately I have neither succeeded in even finding possibilities to personalize apps like contacts, calendar, file-management, playstore that all showed advertisements before deleting their updates nor could I find anything wrong with the settings for Google sync …

When you face the first setup, you have to see from the 5 items (all checked) at least 3 items related with ads, you have to uncheck. After that, take for example the Miui Music app, from the settings you can find an option to disable ads, the same happens with the Miui Files and so on. When I spend the time waiting to unlock bootloader always I do that, and I don't have annoying ads disturbing me all the time, we have to get apart from that, browser behavior, it's a different thing, some ads don't rely on Xiaomi itself, TBH.
Actually I'm running a custom ROM based on AOSP, but in the path that I gave you can see, the number of contacts that's synchronized, I have to guess that you're doing something wrong, can you share some screenshot from this path? To see what's saying.
