I flashed the lollirock rom and ran with it for a bit (just for multiple accounts) but I got tired of having to do most things with a mouse and keyboard.
I know lollipop has the ability to have multiple google accounts. Would it be possible to add the system apk for adding accounts from stock? If so, has anybody tried it? Obviously you'd have to have root first, but that's no problem. Would anybody happen to know which apk is used for adding google accounts?
Please go star this issue while you're at it!

I haven't been able to figure this one out. I just purchased the S7 and so far I have been very pleased with it.
When I went to setup the default Google account I wasn't able to use my Google Apps account. I could only setup the tablet with a gmail account. When I try to create the Google Apps account, the Sign In button is grayed out.
Anyone have any ideas on how I can setup my Google Apps account as the default sync account?
It is very hard to search for something like this as all of the terms are used for different things. I did read somewhere about adding in another gapps apk file. However, I don't know where to find the file or how to do something like that.
I've figured this one out on my own. The reason that I couldn't sign up for the account was the password that I was using has a comma in it and the Huawei keyboard was adding a space after the comma in my password. The box was grayed out due to the space in the password. It took me a few hours of trying everything that I could think of.
I am facing same problem and found that it does not ahve google checkin service. Tried to install googlechin.apk but it failed to install. Want to know that what can be done to rectify this.
Hi,
is it possible to use the android calendar without a google account?
Can we mod it to use it without google? I mean mod source code and compile it new?
Could some one do it?
Can i install a google account on defy without internet?
Mod?
Tool?
Hack??
Big thanks for help!
Bye
I think you can, but I haven't tried having removed the stock Calendar app already. BTW, there are some alternative calendar programs that don't use the built-in database, such as Fliq.
You can always change the codes yourself, but from the way you raised the question I don't think you know how to do (and nor do I), and I doubt if anyone is interested in doing this. Of course, if you're willing to pay a reasonable bounty then it's another question...
Finally, an Internet connection is needed for setting up a Google account.
Maybe if you tell us what you actually want to do, then we can give some more useful suggestions.
Hi, thanks for answer.
I only know jorte, how has got his own database.
All other software usere the google account.
Id like to have a google free sync android, which i must not show every time, if it has synced with google server.
Please, can you tell me which devices have got a own calendar which not use the google calendar?
The google calendar looks realy nice.
Why no one want a google free and without sync calender?
Btw i cant mod the code.
Iam not a coder, only admin.
Can i activate the calendar without a google account?
so that i can use a second software how uses the calendera database?
Big thanks
You can activate a Google account without syncing your Calendar, Contacts and such with Google. They can be disabled in Settings.
If you want to go a bit further, just remove the respective *Sync.apk from /system/app (search for posts on how to remove system apps) provided that you've rooted your device.
This is all?
But is the system app *sync.apk only for google sync?
Or can i even sync with mypohone explorer any more?
Yes.
Yes.
Solution?
Hello,
I had the same problem and i found out that Jorte ( found on android market ) did do the thrick for me. It is pretty standalone. Notice that of you want notifications ( sounds etc ) in Jorte that you need to configure that in the original agenda of defy.
Hope this is your solution, regardings Rick
It IS possible
Hi,
I have CM7 installed, at first without GoogleApps. Then it is not possible to use the native calendar program. But, if flash gapps, bot NOT login or create a new account, the calendar app works fine, though.

Hi, how have you installed CM7 on Defy?
I found out another trick on my SE LWW. After installing CM9.1 with GApps i replaced the Calendar.apk with native SemcCalendar.apf from official Firmware, but FC. After replacing google's Calendar.apk back i was able to use in normally.
Please ask all questions in the Q&A section. Thread moved there.
I have a rooted stock ROM LG G2 on VZ. I rooted only so that I could de-bloat the unit.
I must have gotten carried away although I'm not entirely sure how. I do not have a custom recovery on this unit (dumb, I know) yet.
In short, I have done every single thing I can find to get my Google Calendar to display. It works fine on my Galaxy Nexus. I've done complete resets of the G2 handset I think 3 times now based on solutions I've been able to find. Others have reported this problem and "fixed" it but with no details as to the fix. I did get rid of the stock LG Calendar App and that may have precipitated this issue but I cannot be sure.
If I go into settings--accounts--tap on Google at the top is says "Sync error" and at the bottom of the screen it says "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly" If I tap on the account it brings up the list of Data & Synchronization items for my Google account. Calendar is not listed. From what I can tell all other aspects of my Google account are syncing without issue.
I'd appreciate any ideas or suggestions.
Not unique to your situation
I have a Galaxy SII, also flashed, and Google Calendar worked fine for over a year. Now I get nothing sync'd to my Calendar and I get exactly the same error messages you are getting.

I have had this same issue, and I think the cause of it is from Joining accounts in the address book. I got rid of the issue by removing and re adding my Google Account, but once I started joining accounts together so that there would only be on entry the same thing happened. I do not have any other way to get my google contacts to re sync without an error.
I have a google apps domain (2300s.com) but get the following error when trying to configure my account :
Sorry, Google doesn't recognize that email
is there some kind of DNS record that should be updated?
thanks

I have similar problem. When I try to add google apps account it forwards me to web page of the service. As a consequence I cannot add this account although it was working without problems on older androids
Hi,
i have the same problem with my n5 and n10. I opened a ticket at goolge apps team, they confirmed the bug.
I found a temporary solution:
Install 4.4.4, add setup you accounts then do a sideload update to lollipop. The google apps accounts work fine.
bye,

Hi, guys
I've updated my 910F to 5.1.1, and coincidentally - although probably not - I started having problems with Exchage/ActiveSync accounts in Gmail.
I always sideload the Exchange Services APK and configure my work e-mail as an extra account in the Gmail app. However, ever since upgrading to 5.1.1, my work account routinely and randomly vanishes: all e-mails disappear from the app, calendar won't show, and going into the "Accounts" setting does not show the usual entry. It is completely erased, and I have to reenter all of the account info to get it up and running again. However, it's always been just a matter of time (sometimes hours, sometimes day) until the problem strikes again.
Now I know there are a great many variables that could be at play here, but my questions are:
a) Has anyone been through the same situation?
b) How do I go about trying to figure out what is deleting the account from my device? Developers, how can I objectively debug/troubleshoot this?
Thank you for your help!

Ok so you stated that you got the 910f version and running 5.1.1 but is it stock rom or custom?
Since galaxy s2 I have never used stock roms as they are always buggy in one way or another. My advise is to use custom rom. If you don't want to use custom roms then you should get another stock rom. If you are running example COH4 then try ether a previous build or next build or even try and re flash the current rom.
I am on stock 5.0.1. 910f and I am having troubles with the gmail app syncing
With my hotmail account.All emails vanish (inbox-sent etc).
I have deleted and reconfigured my hotmail account through the gmail
App and also deleted it's data but the problem persisted.
I just can't get it to sync with other accounts other than gmail.
I think it is aproblem of the gmail app itself.
I have since switched to the stock samsung email client and everything
works fine!
@Zionator
It's my experience that custom ROMs allways end up having some quirks of their own; also, I'm on COI3 which is rock solid so far, in every other department.
@snatch_bill
On stock 5.0.2, I never had any problems. Also, while it works fine, the Samsung e-mail app is absolutely horrible, especially when compared with the Gmail client.
So please: does anyone have the least bit of an idea as to how to debug the problem? I'm not even really concerned with solving the problem right now, just understanding it.
Cheers,
Got the same problem. The exchanges account disappears after some days completely. It disappears in gmail and also in the account settings. I'm also using android 5.1.1 on my Note 4.
After reconfiguration the account works again for a few days until it disappear again.
Same problem here with the s6:

Seems to be a problem with the samsung rom. Guess we need to wait until samsung fix it.
