Hi,
Is there a custom ROM available where I can setup a personal Google account and my Google apps account?
Regards,
Richard
ALL ROMs will be able to sync with your google accounts.
And when you say "Google Apps Account",.... Do you mean for Market yeah?
Yeah you will be fine with any ROM?

I can use them both together on a rom?
Just clarify what you mean by "Google apps account"?
Do you have more than one google account?

In this case I have 2 google accounts.
1 personal account
2. http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en-GB/business/index.html this one i use for my own domain
Richard
Aha,.... I see. Its not something that I would need,... But check this out brother,.... Syncing multiple Google accounts
That is an old article so there may be other workarounds now,.... That was simply the 1st thing that came up when searching. Try this http://tinyurl.com/3xf3dpt

Guys
I should be picking up a G2 on monday .
As a googlew phone I would expect it to sync with my gmail account but just to make sure.
Will it sync properly with google hosted domains?
Jay
Syns just fine with google hosted domains. Mine worked right out of the box.

Technically, the G2 isn't a "Google Phone" in the same way the G1 is. Whilst both run Android, the G1 uses a Google build of the OS and is branded on the back with Google, whereas the G2 uses an HTC build of the OS, with several differences to Google builds.
However, both work fine with Google Apps for Domains accounts. You just need to log in with your full email address ([email protected]).
The only thing that doesn't work with these accounts is the checkout on the market, which tells you that Apps for Domains accounts are not support, but then allows you to link your payment to a regular Gmail account for purchasing purposes.

Hi
Are there any ROMs available that do not login to Google servers?
I bet the ones used in Samsung phones don't require a Gmail account, I want the same for my Dream!
Thanks
At the screen to login, I've found that most ROMs give you an option to sign in now or skip.
I think it's available on all ADP ROMS (JF 1.5 ADP, Cyanogen ect) and Hero. Btw, I've never had to re-sign in using data (I have no data plan) and I switch ROMs quite frequently..

I don't get why you would want to skip the Google activation. You will not be able to do anything on your phone(access market, email, etc etc). If you truely want to bypass the screen and assuming you have root, the HTC hero roms can easily bypass the activation screen.

You'd be wrong about the Samsung Android phones, AKAIK. While they may not have Gmail, Google Maps or Gtalk, you still need a google login to access the market and download apps.
My dream is coming true - cyanogen is removing all the Google stuff from his ROM! http://bit.ly/loVvi

tryed donut and loged in with my google account..

can you point me please
i searched but i cant find any information about this...
i was using your:
system-htc-donut.sqsh
and then your:
system-donut-102509.sqsh
strange thing... i tryed market enabler to fake a new provider but with no sucess.. weird.. some new google protection ?
maybe when you log with donut the make a reg with your mail that you have a 1.6 version... and you can only acess 1.6 market with that mail...
and the lack of apps is because the most of them arent 1.6 ready ?
maybe that.. but.. for example handcent sms are already 1.6 ready.. but doenst show ..
hum weeeeiirrrdd :s

i'll take a look at it. i thought craig0rs market fix resolved that issue. maybe it's something with the system-donut-102509.sqsh if the system-htc-donut.sqsh works. i don't know what google is doing maybe they make checks against build types or log different things in the build.prop and keep a black list. i haven't used the market recently but i test each one that i put out with a new account and didn't notice a difference in the amount of apps when i put the newest build up four days ago. i have a build i've been testing that's using cyanogens build.prop and that seems to work so maybe i'll put that up.
anyway you can always start clean and open market and create a new account let everything sync then go home and clear your google apps cache in settings/applications/manage applications/google apps and open gmail and log in with your old account. the market setting should still be intact. other than that i don't know what to tell you as we're not even supposed to be using the market because we're not running genuine android phones.
well i pulled the latest 2 donut builds.
i tryed the craig0r http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=568580 solution but with no sucess.. ill try latter again maybe i missed something... and then ill post
well i have to use a new account for market and the older account for syncro :\
hope raises a solution for this
thanks zen.. if i can help with something with this just ask
damn google
I'm having the same problem as well after using Donut than using xRom.

I noticed this as well. I tried using a fresh account that I made on google.com and it still did not give me all the apps. However I cleared all of my cache from google apps (market, gmail, etc.) and then set up a new account using the new account creator when you click on market. WHEN I USED THE ACCOUNT CREATED WITH ANDROID then I had the full list of free apps, Facebook, chompSMS, all of it. Not sure why it is doing that but now I can do everything. I was using the newest donut build on the android google-code. not sure if that helps but if definitely worked for me

when you log again with your old account apps doesnt there no more lol
but the most strange is that some apps are there and new apps shows every day...
i think they are migrating to this "new system" little by little .. day by day ?
because that screenshots thing and other new stufs
could be ?
dont know the problem is that your account gets flagged some way that you cant use old market no more

I don't know. My main account has been messed up for a while. I just use a totally different account for ion/cupcake builds now. But it's also been confirmed that things go back to normal when using a real non rooted android phone..

I had a Vogue that was running ION and loaded DONUT on it and experienced the Market Apps problem. Verizon warrantied my Vogue out because it had a dead pixel and was under manufacturer's warranty and I loaded ION onto the new one and the full market was back. Throughout the whole affair I used the same Gmail Account, so I'm convinced it's not our Gmail Accounts being tagged but the phone ESN's... this explains why when you move to a Genuine Android Phone the full market comes back as well.

Doesn't explain why market works with a new account on the same phone unless they are tagging your esn to that account.

hum .. if i create a new account in donut the market appears ok ? ..
never tested with a new account in donut...
so if is that.. probably you account get flagged with cupcake and when you log to donut with your account they probably now that you where on a cupcake before and make another flag to your account .. after that your account gets useless in both donut and cupcake..
so .. no way to fake your phone.. because the problem is in the account.. solutions ?
trying to fake our releases to google think that are a real android phone ...
is possiblem ?
I'm another victim of this bug.
What I noticed also is that the 1.6 Market seems to remember your installs and mine auto-installede apps right after a new data.img was created.
I've posted on Google's forum. Maybe they'll reset my accnt?

Hello,
It took me a while to understand that the Contact app in the Chinese Stock ROM is somehow customized.
Since Google Play Store and Gmail apps are not installed here then I managed to get them and pushed them to system/app. Fine, can access GMail and the app store using my gmail account.
However, although I've set in <Acoount> my Google account to sync People details, there is no freakin way to sync them in the Contacts app. No "Merge with Google" item to select, only Samsung. So frustrating!!
Does anybody know how to sync the contacts? I'm not talking about importing.
Otherwise do you think I should try to get from a fellow SGS4 owner the official (and not restricted) Contacts apk (btw is this SecContacts.apk?)
thanks a lot for your help

I have the same issue. Just bought a samsung in China and I'm unable to sync google contacts.
I've downloaded the GoogleContactsSuncAdapter.apk and will install onto my phone tonight. Hopefully this will work. Will let you know how it goes.
Well, how did that go lavive? Cause I'm having the same problem

Maybe we'd better look for a contact apk from a Samsung's international Stock ROM, and replace the one from the Chinese Stock ROM.
Hi all,
I have a slight issue with the new google maps. Basically I have a gmail account which is linked to my domain (google apps). Now when I go into the "people" app, I can see my contacts have their address in their details. But when I open up the new google maps and search my contacts, it does not show my contacts address in the search bar.
Secondly (i think this is related to the same issue), if i try to use Google now "Navigate Home" command, it does not recognise my home address. It asked me to put in my home address and when I do that and click save I get an error that the address could not be saved.
Any idea what is going on with my phone? I have tried resetting the phone but it didnt help.
Thanks
2 things may be going on here. For it to work your contacts have to be associated with the same account as you're signed into maps with.
Second, I remember reading somewhere that it currently does not work with contacts associated with a business account.

While I don't have a business account, I have seen a number of complaints about this or that not working right with Google app accounts, and it seems that some of these have been going on for years... so I wouldn't hold your breath.

I can concur that if you have a google apps for business account it's not pulling in your contact details.
Why would they remove this???? it was working before the update.
I've been using Google Maps/Navigation to get to and from clients and now because I have a google apps for business account where all my contact details are saved.
Crazy!!

Growing pains. Google releases a lot that is unfinished. This is just another brick in the wall.
I don't think this was removed in the strictest sense of the word. I believe the old behavior looked in the local contacts data as i was previously syncing over iCloud, and it worked. After the update i had to change my syncing to Google Contacts online to get contacts from a maps based search.
Guessing this new behavior is more efficient as now both the places and contacts search are online.

Google maps seems to be working (i can look up my contacts addresses) in android 4.3 even though on the link you gave me it still says that google apps business accounts wont have this functionality. One thing which is annoying me now is that since I updated my phone to android 4.3, if i say "Navigate home" to google now, it doesnt work at all (before it used to ask me to tell where is home). it just shows me random results relating home (not mine) on google.
I remember reading that in another thread, or was that you?

Yup just did a hard reset and re install of all apps and still no go.
If I do a search for one of my contacts they don't come up at all, just businesses or locations with a similar name (now just got to go into all my apps now and put in all the logins and passwords ......doh!!!)

I wasn't able to search for my contacts either. I had my web history turned off. When I turned web history on, they showed up on both the web based version of Google Maps, and the Android version of Google Maps. (I don't understand why this should be required.)
I have not tried this using a google apps account.
Hope that helps.
