Hey so I have a basic knowledge of this stuff and was goofing around. I tried rooted my S5 and put CM12 on it but after a couple days decided I wasn't feeling it. I got the stock ROM from SamMobile and flashed it back.
Problem is now I do not have the ability to sync Facebook with my contacts. I have checked under Acounts and selected the Contacts sync but nothing happened. I checked the Facebook app and it no longer has the sync setting.
Is there an OEM apk I'm missing?
Thanks
A custom rom is a modified version of android (linux). Once installed, all apps downloaded from Playstore or other official store were no longer recognised by the said store. So no more auto sync, no more auto apps update etc.
Even after I put my phone back to stock ROM?
I have checked with the playstore and all other apps are updating fine. The only change is the fact that Facebook Galaxy integration is missing.
You can't "sync" with facebook now. To sync with any app, both users need to install and give permission to that app. Only then you can sync.

I have checked and currently XPosed is not supported

Please dont tell me to look at the downloads tab, because i know that.
Basically when i install a new rom, the market has now lost the free apps because thats what it does. the market must have some sort of file it maintains locally with the list of apps, and whether or not they are set to auto-update. where is this list so i can just paste it into my new rom, and market will automatically get all the apps and maintain the auto update settings.
(also i know and use titanium backup so dont reply with 'use titanium', i just want to do what im looking for so the market always gets the latest version on a rom redo and also keeps holding the auto-update status.)
thanks.
Did you try dialing the market update code?
*#*#2432546#*#*
That's suspose to resync with the market I think.

In the sync settings for google, there is a backup option. It will download all previously installed apps when you setup the new rom, including free apps. If you don't want all if the apps to install, skip setup initially and open the market. Use that to log into your google account, then jump to the downloads window and cancel the ones you don't want. It will also insure you have the newest version.
This will not back up app data, however. Just re-install the app.
*I am currently looking for where this setting is inside settings.

only see a contacts, gmail and calender in google sync settings.
I have looked around inside the os for the setting. The only way I can find it is to remove my google account and re-add it. At the end, it gives you the option to back up all data. That us the opinion that enables this I believe.

Hi,
My DHD came with some apps pre-installed (facebook, twitter, adobe ,etc...). I can not remove them and neither manually update them. Do these application automatically check for updates ? Or do I need to download and re-install these applications manually from the App store ?
Cheers.

I made a thread on this exact issue a few days ago.

I rooted and installed CM7[.0.3]. I attempted to install gapps at the same time, but they didn't appear after I booted my NC with CM7. So I was wondering, how do I go about installing gapps at this point?
i'd like to know as well
Did you set up your wifi before installing gapps?
You will need to be connected to Wifi for them to show up. After you flashed them in CWM and are connected to wifi, usually a "set-up" type thing appears which allows you to log into your Google account and choose what specific applications you want installed.
If that doesn't happen, when connected to wifi, go to Settings > Accounts & Sync > Add account > Add Google Account. After this, hopefully the set up should run.
I tried adding an account, but for some reason I'm getting an error message.
CM7 v7.0.3 No Google Market
I have installed CM7 v 7.0.3 successfully, and tried first GAPPs v.20110307 then v.20110613. Neither produced the Google Market. I also cannot set up my gmail account nor my yahoo account. Wifi on and great signal. Tried install, and when no market, restored to factory nook. Reinstalled CM7 and Gapps, and still no market or prompt to set up the Google account. I've searched till my eyes are bleeding and I have yet to find a suitable answer that works. Not sure whether to give up or continue to troubleshoot. If you have a solution, please share it. Please provide detailed instructions since I am a noob and you know how we are.
Thanks...Liz
Yesterday I suddenly can't link apps to Facebook with my nexus 7
here's the problem:
1. in app, I pressed the button "sign in with my facebook account"
2. it popped up a dialog asked me to login and authorized the permissions
3. when I confirmed, it back to 2. again and again, falls in a loop..
I've wiped the whole data and reset to factory, but the problem still there..
however, I can do facebook authorized with another android device,
someone can help me solve this :'( ?
Did you restore facebook app from a backup? Try a clean install, also uninstall fb messenger, if you have it, before trying to login to the fb app.

I just found that's a little bug with Parandroid rom(pie3.1) on nexus 7 3G modal
after I flashed back the old version of this rom, I can link my apps with facebook account
already email to the rom-builder report this, thanks for helping
Hopefully this can help some people who don't want to use custom recovery or need root.
My MIX came with a vendor rom from gearbest "Global" 8.0.8.0.0 Stable. I was able to figure out that the bootloader was unlocked through the fastboot method. The vendor ROM didn't have the MIUnlock status within the developer options. I requested for unlock before I knew about the fastboot method. The updater app wouldn't work, no matter which app ROM from xiaomi I downloaded. It would always give me the cannot verify error. But I finally was able to flash to the Dev Rom (no eu) weekly build and then add gapps to it. None of this required twrp or rooting. So here are my steps that I went through. Yes there is Chinese bloatware, but many you can uninstall.
1. Make sure it's unlocked. I used the fastboot option via command prompt. I used this.
2. download XiaomiFlash (old version) here. The newest version kept giving me a Specified cast is invalid problem. you can read about it here
3. Download latest fastboot update Developer ROM.
4. Follow steps 4 through 6 on this webpage here. Make sure you decompress the .tgz file.
My vendor ROM had the Playstore access. But after the update, it was giving me a server error. So I installed the following apps in this order to get it working again. If at some point the install fails, then uninstall the app first and reinstall.
1. Install Google Services Framework 6.0.1
2. Install Google Play Services
3. Install Google Account Manager
4. Install Google Play Store
Reboot and you should have access to the google apps and start downloading other google apps. I then also started uninstalling all of the chinese apps that I couldn't read/understand.
If this is not new, then let this thread die. If this works for you. awesome.
Things that I still can't get to work
1. Android Pay
2. Google Play Movies still says this device is not supported.
3. Can't sync with google contacts
Update I haven't tested this, but you can try it on the Dev or the Stable

@Thorin78
A well put together resource is always welcome.
I think I have an answer/solution for some of your ongoing issues:
1) Android Pay not working:
The unlocked bootloader is probably the reason it's not working.I wouldn't recommend relocking it unless you're on an official Xiaomi ROM.
2) Cannot add new contacts:
I've run into that as well.For now, I'm just adding them on my PC via G-Mail (new contacts).Next time you sync on your phone & you should see the new contacts.
3) Google Play Movies issues may be a location issue.If the phone/Google settings isn't allowing for the exact area/country location where you are/Google Play Movies is official,then that may be the problem.
Loading one of the other ROMs may solve this.
These issues may possibly be solved utilizing root apps/Xposed/etc..... IDK,but,if one is savvy enough to unlock the bootloader/Root/ROM/install Xposed framework & modules,then they can likely find those solutions w/o any assistance.

Thanks @KOLIOSIS, I'm not as concerned w/ #1 and #3 so much. But now I can't get contacts to even sync or show up. It's quite weird. It's not part of the sync procedure.
I do agree, if people are already savvy enough to go through the entire process w/ twrp, they probably are better off w/ that procedure.
Anyways, if this isn't working for others either, hope it's made them more comfortable going the next step of twrp.

For whatever reason,(Google) contacts isn't automatically updating/syncing on the MIX.
Until there's a fix,you'll have to go to SETTINGS > ACCOUNTS > OTHER ACCOUNTS > GOOGLE
Tap on the affected Google account & tap CONTACTS.
Here's where part of the bug lies,as when doing so,the sync is turned off instead of syncing. Simply turn it back on & your contacts should update/match whatever you have on your desktop PC.

OK,now we're getting somewhere:
I've been running the EU ROM 6.12.xx & as of a couple days ago,the GlobeROM 6.12.22 (which looks identical to me) & have/had (Google) contacts on both.
Kinda odd,never seen contacts sync missing with any mfg/phone ROM I've run in the past & that list includes Huawei/OPPO/OnePlus & the typical better known mfgs most are familiar with.
Perhaps loading the Google Contacts app from the Google Play Store will kick it into gear...........................................

Ya, I've been searching on xiaomi forums too. Newp. I've uninstalled Google contacts, reinstalled google contacts (tho play store says it's incompatible).
Removed my google account, installed google contacts, google contacts sync and readded my google account through google contacts and still newp.
Everytime I start a google app, there's a new line added for Sync, but not for contacts.

Sounds like you've done your homework,IDK what else to suggest regarding contacts/syncing.
The only thing I can recommend is using the Nuclear Option & switching to either the EU ROM 6.12.xx (weekly) or the GlobeROM 6.12.xx
Oh this is the Xiaomi Dev GlobeROm.
But ya, EU ROM soon if I can't get this working. It's also interesting that I got root via the Permissions options in the settings.
I think someone fixed it from Xiaomi. Check here. You can download the apk, I haven't yet.

To get the google contacts working, you need to assigned all permission to it first then remove and add your google account again.

I had the same problem on my MIX. The 1st time I saved my contacts on another device as a .vcf file, and imported it from the MIX's contacts menu. Suddenly contacts appeared under Google account along with everything else.
The second time I just downloaded and installed this version of google contants sync http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-contacts-sync/google-contacts-sync-4-0-4-488656-release/google-contacts-sync-4-0-4-488656-android-apk-download/, and again contacts appeared and synced.
Try and let us know.
