Google Drive gone? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I'm not sure if anyone else has notices this or if it's just me. I have the deodexed OTA for 4.2. Just last night I noticed I can't find the Google drive app icon anywhere. It's not in the app drawer and it is ladle labeled as installed and I can access it by the way of the widget but that's it. I tried reinstalling it but no go. Anyone else having this issue?

Strange. Is the apk in/data/apps or in /system/apps?
OTA = over the air. I was unaware that Google OTA'd a deodexed update. Kewl.

Quite obvious it's the custom ROM based on the OTA, but I do enjoy the many ways sarcasm can be misused and from time to time I forget them. It is people like you who do a great service to the people of the internet.
But back to the topic, yes it shows up in the settings as a downloaded app but it does not show up in the system/app directory. But Google Play shows it's installed, I have the widget, and the app loads.

Clear cache and data. Who knows it might help.

Well I gave it a shot. I cleared cache and data, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it refuses to make an icon.

This might not have anything to do with this but Google might be diddling around with Drive itself. Just tonight I tried accessing (on my stock 4.2 GN) a shared company Drive spreadsheet that I just updated on Sunday and Drive was making it difficult for me (I.e., not recognizing the Google account and some other things). When I finally cleared it up (by logging off/signing in a few times), I was able to access and view the spreadsheet but not edit it (which what I need to do).
If it's any consolation, I wasn't able to edit it on the company iPad that's there for that purpose.
Again, it may be unrelated (and I'm still learning here) but in case that helps...

I added Google Drive under Web Storage in X-plore and it shows up and all my stuff is there.
I am running MMuzzy's 4.2 Verizon build.
Where did you get the widget?
Steve

The widget was just Google's widget that is added when you install the app. I remembered I had "add widgets to desktop" unchecked through Google Play so I selected it and reinstalled the app and it put an icon on my home screen, so that fixes my problem temporarily, as the icon is still missing from the app drawer and does not show the app in my system menu.

Don't you guys think that Drive should be a built-in app? It should be a natural part of the Android ecosystem. I don't think there are many people who don't use Drive, so it'd be more convenient to just make it a built-in app. This could bring in more support for it, too.

Twitter contacts sync still broken

Twitter updated to 3.1.1 on the Market yesterday.
Contacts sync is still not working. Just thought I would pass this along if not posted already.

Then activating in the ics accounts and sync settings?

Last update broken notifications. This latest update supposedly fixed them.
My settings work. Sync doesn't though.
Yeah latest update, notification works, not Contact Sync.
You should let them know @mobilesupport as they may not be aware.

Does twitter not offer a sync api to third parties? I went back to plume when they did their big update not too long ago. I've noticed friendcaster for Facebook offers some sort of sync but I find it odd that no 3rd party twitter app has sync yet.

The contact sync issue is almost certainly related to their security problem in February. I think they purposely still have it off.

We're talking about contacting syncing in this thread and yours is broken too.
If you want twitter sync to work go to 4shared and download an older version of Twitter, resync and there you have it.

2. Latest Vending_Google Play Store (Android Market) v3.5.15 Themed Black
What's in this version:
You now have the Installed and All tabs you can swipe between. The former one is what we used to have before - it lists all apps installed on your device. The latter lists all apps you've ever installed in case you want to download them again or travel down the memory lane. This is quite handy, and I've seen this list before in the Play Store on the web, so it's great to get it here in the mobile app.
The All tab contains a handy dropdown with all your accounts (if you added more than one) and lets you switch between them very easily (as opposed to clicking Menu, etc).
A few of the stock apps that apparently never got linked to the Play Store before got identified and picked up this time, and updates to them were waiting for me when I fired the Store up. I've complained about this very bug in my last rant, and it looks like someone listened.
Mod version features:
>Themed Black
>Unlimited access to apps in Google Play Store
>Removed countries restriction in Google Play Store
working flawlessly

Nice, I did notice this yesterday on the update list.
One thing that still drives me bonkers is when I ask it to set a timer..
Like "set a timer for 10 minutes" it ALWAYS creates a NEW stupid alarm. Why cant Google just build in a countdown timer and have it run off that?
Its really annoying the fact it creates a new alarm for everything and doesn't delete when its done.
Launching apps only works with certain apps. Won't even launch Chrome.

Possibly, though i'm running off the last RC of Liquid JB, and its using the CM10 clock in it :/
Wonder if I have to install a different clock in order for it work properly?
Does it set a timer within that 4.2 clock? or still set a new alarm?

Yes, I use the stock AOSP email for a unified inbox with my gmail and exchange, and it worked great. I do have the gmail app installed, but don't use it, you might need it on the phone for it to work properly, but it will do it without you even checking your gmail app.

Facebook app update fixes contact syncing... Well sort of

First updated the app on my nexus 7 in which I don't have haxsync installed and was surprised to see my people app being full of Facebook contacts with pictures. Thought I could finally be rid of haxsync and then I updated my phone and well nope, no contact syncing. After further inspection I found something odd. On my nexus 7 I have a category in Facebook settings called "other settings" and underneath I have sync contact options. The "other settings" menu doesn't even appear on my nexus 4. Check it out

I dont have it either. Can you get your facebook.apk from data folder and share it? Maybe its different app for Nexus 7.
Sure but where are user apps stored? I can locate the system apps but not use apps with es file explorer.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
Have you root on that Nexus?
If yes go to system files (if you cant access using ES use root explorer).Go to data folder then app and there are all user apps.
Facebook sucks. Lags all the time opposed to the iOS version.
Maybe you have big mess in your phone or just need to clean facebook cache? My facebook is working perfectlly.
I just uninstalled and reinstalled, same issue, my wife's phone, same thing. I tried about every idea I could possibly think of
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
but did you cleared cache before uninstalling? Before you uninstall press clear data button in app info. Also after you uninstall if you have root go to /data/data and look for com.facebook.katana and delete it also if you were using FB messanger look for com.facebook.orca and also delete it.
Hope this will help you.
I just went through, wiped cache, wiped data, uninstalled, and reinstalled and same damn problem... Ugh

Lol nothing is wrong with it, contact sync just doesn't exist on my phone. The option to sync contacts is present on my tablet but not on my phone as seen in the first post which doesn't make sense since they are the same app
Edit : I just realized what happened. Someone came in and complained about the app lagging and somehow you and me got talking. Lol
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Same thing for me with Galaxy S+ not option for syncing contacts. The app is also otherwise really a piece of crap, very slow and consume really a lot of battery.
Just pulled the app from my Nexus 7, installed it, and still no sync option. I give up, this is something on their end. Just wish there was a way to talk to facebook support. They always ignore my emails
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
did you try to activate facebook contact sync in settings-accounts first?
Yep, I've tried everything I can think of. Oh well, haxsync works good enough for now I guess. Just would be nice to not have 2 apps for Facebook purposes.
I keep thinking does the htc first have sync problems? I wonder what the GP who grabbed that phone thinks when they don't have any contact pictures in the dialer app.

I'm also having this issue.
It happened when I change to MIUI ROM, then restore my Nandroid backup of CM10. then I can't restore app from play store, and got this error.
I can't open 'my apps' tab on play store either.
Tried change to latest CM10.1 & now I'm on latest PA. The issue isn't resolved.
Tried to remove data from google framework services & google play store. reboot. But still have the issue...
bad luck, may be?
Excuse my English, I had this problem a week ago after installing miui and then be returned to AOSP.
Basically I lost my paid apps, fortunately were only three. I sent email to Goole support and after several emails they told me that they know the problem but still can not solve it.
In the end my account from the web even worked and out of desperation I changed it, moving the contacts.
Well idk why but I signed into a different Wi-Fi network and all of a sudden my error went away. I had all my apps still installed and titanium backups of everything. Only lost a few apps that I paid for that weren't installed/backed up.
Edit: after closing and restarting play store all my purchases are there now. It's as if the error never happened.

Works for me too again! Seems Google was able to fix it - maybe an issue on their server.
