Hey,
After updating to "TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.3.3[2.3.4][A2SD][tytung r10]" MAGDLR
My "whatsapp", "Facebook", "Skype" and "twitter" synchronisation account setup dissapear everytime I reboot. Everytime I reboot my phone i have to renter my accounts at "synchronisation and accounts"
The only account that is saved is my google account. Am I the only one experiencing this issue, as I have not seen this up in the forum elsewhere .
Can somebody help me out ?
I am running ICS nightlies off a sd card and cannot get google calendar to sync. I noticed there are two versions of the google calendar app. Looks like one is installed with the nightly and the other came in with Samiams303's google apps.
The option to sync the calendar is there under accounts & sync but it gives an error and no calendars show up in the app.
Any suggestions.
I had the same problem
I had the same problem,

So I can't tell if is the the new nightly...

To answer my own question. I had to flash the rom and the gaaps at the same time without a boot into recovery between as I was doing before. I still have two calendar apps.
The Google Contacts don't show on the Contact App.
Could somebody help?
Thanks.
1. Download and install google installer http://xiaomitips.com/download/google-installer-app/
2. Download and install Google Contacts from apk mirror http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-contacts/
Done.

I tried to remove the Google account but I get an error every time I try to press it, any advice? This is very frustrating.

If you have root, install twrp and flash the latest miui v8 rom from here https://xiaomi-miui.gr/community/ws...Rom-για-το-RedmiPro-Omega-MiUi8-6-9-22/#files
I'm on miui 8 and I couldn't get contacts to sync, I just exported all contacts to vCard and loaded them that way

My redmi pro can't show google contact too. I installed all gapps from mi app and google contact sync included. Please anyone can show the way ?
I had this issue too with google installers. wouldn't sync contacts.
found this installer and all was good. no issues with sync and contacts.
it is in Chinese but works like the rest so you should be able to get it working.

Hi - I know this was a long time ago you posted this, but can you remember where you got that from?
I try and install Google Contacts Sync and it immediately FCs and fails to install.
Thanks, R.

I believe i just googled the problem and browsed some sites and found it. Sorry no exact page, don't remember.
Good luck.
? Thanks for responding so quickly.
Cheers!
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.
Hi,
I got LineageOS 18.1 (nightly build 2022-02-01) + Gapps nano working on my Redmi Note 7 the other night.
However, I've been running into trouble when trying to restore my Whatsapp backup.
I've installed Google Drive (not included in nano) and when I start the app, it will detect my Drive no problem.
However, when trying to restore my Whatsapp backup, my active google account is not detected. When I try to reenter the credentials in the dialogue, I get an error message along the lines of "that account is already registered on this device" and I can't proceed.
I've noticed that Google Drive (as well as Google Play Services and Whatsapp) only has the permission "Access to media only" (so not to files) enabled and I can't upgrade the permission, maybe that's part of the problem?
As a workaround, I've been trying to copy the old /Whatsapp folder into /storage/emulated/0/. Unfortunately, WA won't detect those old databases. I am not able to edit WAs permissions before the first startup, as was suggested in a post I found about a similar issue online.
Is there a solution that I am not seeing? Preferably one that does not involve me reinstalling the OS, since I've (foolishly) already transfered my banking apps to the device and it's a bit of a pain to set them up again.
Thanks in advance!
Hi, I have the same problem with samsung galaxy s5 and lineage 18. does anyone else have the same problem and managed to solve it?
