Is there a way to use google sync to get my contacts back, without having to reinstall apps as well?
It seems like it reinstalls automatically and I would rather not have them install. Thanks!
Go into accounts and sync, tap your email account, un-check all the things other than contacts, turn off sync, then turn it back on, then check anything else previously checked.
If you're on CM7, remove pacman.apk to avoid Google prompting to install your apps. I used to remove pacman.apk before signing into Google when I ran CM7, and it kept it from prompting. I'm assuming that it still works the same way, the last build of CM that I flashed was before the stable release - like nightly 21 or something.

I just flashed SkyRaider 4.0 recently and now only my main gmail account syncs automatically. I have to manually sync my other accounts for them to update.
I'd tried to clear cache and data and have gotten the same results.
Anyone else with this issue?
Stupid question: You checking in Accounts and Sync for those accounts to make sure they are set to sync email?
yep - def have it checked off - i just re-flashed sr4 again without loading any new apps and it still will only sync the main account and not another
well it's fixed - with a lot of tinkering and re-flashing i don't know what it was
Actually, I had that problem when I had SR4 installed. I'd get the messages when I would manually refresh, but push didn't work. I'd get messages about once per day, if I didn't refresh manually. Needless to say, that wasn't something I was prepared to live with. At the time, I didn't have much time to tinker with it, and CM had just released 7.0.3, so...
Anyway, I thought maybe it had to do with the fact that I installed with ROM Manager, but who knows?
Hi All
The main account on my Desire Z is the account I use for my business, which was setup as a google apps account, it works fine for email etc but was never able to be used for Picasa or other google applications.
However, they have just recently transitioned google apps accounts and now they can access all the google applications, however to get them working on your phone, the google website says I'd need to backup my phone, remove the account, factory reset and then readd the account...
I'm not sure I like the sound of this as potentiall I could lose things if I've not backed everything up etc...
Is there anyway I can do this without having to do a full reset? So I can use the newly accessible apps likes picasa etc
Thanks
I am having the same issue - my calendar no longer sync's correctly as it's still attached to the me%[email protected] address, even though it displays the 'merged' account [email protected] Very frustrating!

If you're worried about losing things because you haven't backed everything up then back everything up, it's pretty simple.
Download Titanium Backup or My Backup Pro and back up your apps and data; after you reset your phone, restore your apps and data

I realise that but was just wondering if a reset was actually necessary or not?

I’m running a gingerbread build and I can just go to Accounts & Sync and add a new gmail account and remove the old one.
I don’t know if that’s what you mean though.
Title says it, its really annoying to flash a new rom and to have my apps follow me.
Any ways to prevent them from showing up
When you set up the account uncheck the sync my phone to this account box. Your contacts, calendar, etc will still sync but your apps won't. In CM7 pacman.apk used to be the app that handled that function (early nightlies). Don't know if it still does, but I always removed it to avoid that annoyance.
I'm running the Vicious CM10 4.1.1 V5 rom which I flashed 3 days ago and I'm not able to get my calendar to sync with my google ones. I would post in that specific thread asking for help but I don't have enough posts. I started with a full wipe before flashing the rom and everything works but the calendar. I was running the AOSP Vicious with zero bugs but I like the CM10 one better minus the calendar issue. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can get the calendar working? I've tried removing my accounts and re-adding them which didn't help. I'm wondering if I can flash the latest Gapps to maybe get it working but I don't really know where to start with that process. I'd like to try other options to maybe get this ROM working before doing a factory reset and starting fresh since I don't wanna redo everything.
Do you get any error messages? Did you make sure the calendar app is set to show you the calendars?

When I go to add an event, I get a message that says to add an account but when I go to see if I have any calendars, it doesn't show the option to show any.
Do you have the calendar set to sync in your accounts?
I don't have the option for my accounts to sync to calendars. It was working before on the AOSP Vicious rom but now it doesn't.
That's really odd. When you added the account did you make sure to add it as a Google account or an "other" account?

I added all my google accounts as google ones. They show up as google accounts with a G next to them in the settings menu.
Just to update this for anyone who has this issue in the future, I just flashed the latest Gapps and it fixed my problem. No need to even readd my accounts. After a booting back up, the option for calendar showed up in the settings menu and I just checked them for the accounts I wanted to sync.
Under Accounts & Sync, I only have one main toggle for syncing all accounts.
Previously on Samsung in 4.4 I had toggles for each account.
I would like to sync some accounts but I do not wish to sync google contacts, data etc. If I disable sync then nothing syncs (email, etc). I would like to use the play store.
I am currently deleting the google account and turning sync ON . Then when I wish to install something, I turn sync OFF, login to google, install apps, then logout etc...
I'd like to somehow install apps without having to sync other google data if that's possible. This was possible on a samsung with 4.4.
I don't know if this is an Android version issue, a ROM issue or something else. I am currently using Fulmics 6.7
I've never used the stock ROM.

Anyone have any ideas?
