hi all,
I have a very strange problem with my S4, and I'm out of ideas after hours of google, xda and troubleshooting. First of all, I'm travelling, therefore a factory reset is not an option at the moment.
I'm on the latest nightly of CM12.1 with gapps installed.
Everything was working fine until yesterday. Here's what happened:
I always used the CM12.1 stock email app. So my girlfriend wanted to check her gmail, therefore (to keep my mail app clean) I installed the official gmail app. After installation I signed in with her gmail address and password. After that the gmail app crashed. I then noticed that my contact list on the phone all of a sudden included her google contacts as well (she had an android device with a google account some time ago, so her former contacts are still synced with her account).
I removed the gmail app again, and now it seems my google account on the phone is broken. I can't use any google services anymore:
- PlayStore just opens a white screen for half a second, then closes without error
- Maps, Fit, Youtube, etc. all say I have to install google playstore to function, but playstore is installed already
- When I go to Settings>Accounts there is no google account and no option to add a google account
What I tried:
- I cleared app data/cache for googleservicesframework and playstore
- I did dalvic/cache wipe
- I re-installed the gmail app which caused all the trouble, but can't sign in with google account anymore in the app (neither with mine nor hers)
- I updated to a newer nightly
- I flashed gapps again
- I used a gapps removal script from xda
I'm completely lost. nothing seems to work.
Thank you in advance for your help
Sorry, guess I should post this to the general android help Forum. Please close.

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.
User Case Story:
When attempting to create an event/reminder/appointment in the calendar app, the user receives a message stating, "No calendar events."
The user doesn't receive an error and the app doesn't force close. Overall, the ROM is stable.
Solution:
Go to Settings.
Go to Accounts and Sync.
Click your Gmail account (don't click the sync icon).
Click Sync Calendar.
Close Settings.
Launch the Calendar app.
Create a new appointment.
Success.

I've ran into this issue a lot in the past across several ROMs. I've done a search on here and Google with no luck. After coming with this resolution, I realized that I caused this headache myself. I don't like to download my Gmail on my phone and prefer using the browser to check messages. I only linked my Google account to my phone in order to install apps from the market. I have auto-sync disabled because I want to extend my battery life (data transfer running in the background) and there wasn't a need for me to sync with other Google related services. Looking back, the times that I didn't run into this was when I rushed and didn't disable auto-sync during the initial account setup wizard (after flashing a ROM). I decided to post this in order to contribute to the community, but you (moderators) can lock or delete this post if it's a duplicate. My apologies, but I hope other people find this useful. Thank you.

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.
Hello,
I've tried several ROMS and 2 version of Gapps.
My problem is there is no Calendar sync at all.
When entering the Google account under Sync There is no Calendar at all. Just Gmail, Drive , Browser and Contacts.
When entering the Calender app , I'm greeted with "Existing" "New" and "Later" screen , as it doesn't detect any Google account associated with the phone.
When trying to use "Existing" and add my Google account , it states this account is already in use.
I've looked in the web calender for any clues as to why my calendar sync disappeared , and did not find any.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you.

Look in /system/app & see if you have (Google)CalenadrSyncAdapter.apk. You need the sync adapter to use an AOSP built calendar apk. The other option would be to get rid of the calendar.apk in your rom & download form the Play Store.
Hi,
I have done my research before posting this thread, and I've seen many other similar posts but none of them helped.
The Gmail app is not syncing automatically so it is not receiving new emails unless I enter the app and swipe down to refresh, or if I turn off and on "Auto-sync data". Things I tried:
I checked that "Auto-sync data" is turned on in my settings and that Gmail sync is checked in my Google account sync settings.
I cleared all the google apps cache (google play services, framework, email, gmail).
I disabled the stock Gmail app then enabled it and updated it.
I force uninstalled Gmail (since my phone is rooted) and reinstalled again from the Play Store.
I rebooted into recovery and cleared cache and dalvik cache.
I removed my Google account and re added it.
I included the Gmail app in "Ignore battery optimizations" in the battery settings, the google play services are included by default and my phone is not in power saving mode.
I checked Gmail app settings, my email address settings, "Notifications" is checked, "Data usage" ->"Sync Gmail" is ticked, "Manage labels" -> Primary sync is on on the last 30 days, "Inbox sound & vibrate" -> "Notify for every message" is unchecked by default but I checked it.
Using LG G3 on Marshmallow 6.0 stock rooted.
I just re did what I mentioned in my initial post but all at the same time, I turned of Auto-sync, removed my Google account, cleared Gmail, Google Play services, Play store, Google services framework and Email cache, rebooted into recovery, wiped cache and dalvik cache, added back my google account, turned on auto sync and it worked. So nothing new, I tried them all before but not successively, but I am sure it's not my phone's problem and it's a bug in Google's apps or Gmail since a lot of other users have faced the same problem which is unfortunate.
THANK YOU!

THANK YOU! I have been on and off trying to figure out this issue for 2 months until I could not take it anymore. I tried all of the guides from google, articles on android websites, forum posts etc. but nothing was working. I even tried installing the inbox app and still, that was not working. I was about to give up hope and just factory reset my phone until I tried your instructions and it worked! And oddly enough, my battery life has drastically improved. Thank you so much for following up on your original post
