I have an HD 8 2018. Fire OS 6.3.0.0. Rooted with Magisk and TWRP. I've install all the pieces for Google Play. Play is working. Gmail is working. Calendar is working.
But Google Contacts refuses to sync. If I clear the data it will ask me to create an account. If I try to use my Google account it says "account is already on device." But I don't seem to be able to select the account I'm already logged into.
Did I perhaps disable some package I shouldn't have? I went back in and "pm enable" on every package with "contacts" in the name.
Any ideas?
I have not used it, but it appears there are several amazon apps that relate to contacts that might interfere with it.
Contacts Sync Adapter pm disable com.amazon.dp.contacts You can disable this if you want to use Google Contacts
Facebook Sync Adapter pm disable com.amazon.dp.fbcontacts You can disable this if you want to use Google Contacts
Contacts pm disable com.android.contacts
This one might need to be uninstalled and install google contacts from the play store.
This was from a thread to remove apps from fireOS 5.6.0.0, but i still find most of this to be useful. I haven't tested this at all..
Can you install the Google Contacts from Google Play Store

Yes. But it asks for you to login to an account. If I try to use the account that is already installed and working for Play, Calendar and Gmail it tells me that account already exists but doesn't let me select it.
The built-in Amazon contacts app *does* work and lets me select the account. So I've got that as a work-around. I want Google Contacts though.

I've rooted my Fire and installed the Android Market without a problem. When I
first opened the market I logged in with my Google account to make sure everything
worked. Since I got this device for my dad, I'd rather he log in with his own Google
account. I've cleared the app data, and even deleted and re-installed. I can't get
the option to log in with a different google account and it stays with mine. Is there
a solution to this? Has anyone else experienced this?
Without access to the Account and Sync menu, I believe you'll need to uninstall and do a fresh reinstall of the market
I've uninstalled the market and re-installed with the apk. Or is there a more precise uninstall I should be doing?
In the Android development subforum here the long how to install market thread has reference to getting gmail to sync and those posts reference another thread with a link to a Sync Settings app. That will allow you to add another gmail account or delete one in addition to setting up sync items and auto sync. If I knew the post I'd gladly supply it but all I remember is where I found reference to the app.
Then just add your dad's email then subtract yours. Then to market and your set.
Added: found reference in a thread in this subforum on syncing contacts: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19461785&postcount=2

Worked great. I installed "Quick Sync Settings" from the market. Thank you for providing that link.
I just hit "menu" and added an account from the Market. Or maybe GMail. It was pretty simple, really.
The menu from the market app wash giving me the option. Not until I added another gmail account through the sync settings it did.
Hi I have a similar question but just about the amazon app store. I have been using a separate email account to buy apps than the one to buy all my kindles and books. Is there any work around to have both amazon.com accounts logged in or to keep the apps and books installed while I am on my other account or the other?
I have rooted the tablet and have my google market running fine so I might just have to stick to that.
Thank you
Can't you install Anycut from the android market, open it, create new activity, select accounts and sync or whatever the activity is called, and then go from there?
Additionally can you open the Gmail app, menu, accounts, add account...from here, go to the android market and then you should have 2 different gmail accounts to choose between?

Thanks for that. I tried it and it crashes the system. I actually have two account from google on my market, but my main problem is accessing the apps that are registered to my gmail account. Mainly because my kindle account is a separate email and every time you deregister the Kindle it deletes your books or installs the apps.

Anyone figure out how to remove the main gmail account without having to do a factory reset? I made the mistake of putting in an email address I didn't want to have added. I've already tried adding a second GMail account and removing the primary and got the prompt to factory reset.

Yeah I was able to remove gmail accounts using anycut. I am just stuck with the amazon drm sadly
I needed to change the Google account in my NSTG but couldn't find an obvious way to do it from the existing apps or tools in my rooted device. Removing accounts.db from /data and rebooting seemed to do the trick - I was then able to add a new Google account by using the Market app. Mail, calendar, etc. sync, Google Talk works and installed apps can be updated via Market. I don't know what effect this has on the B&N account and on-line library as I don't use their services but at least the stock reader app and library continue to work OK.
You might have been able to do it through the Gmail app's settings.
Thanks. At least in the Gmail app that I have there's only an option to add an account. Maybe it would allow me to delete the old account after adding a new account but I'm not going to test that now that everything is working perfectly. If someone could confirm that - whether one Google account can be deleted if there are multiple accounts present - I'd appreciate it.
Anyone has any issue with Google Contact Sync? It says "sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly".
Several methods I've tried before:
1. Delete the Google account and add again
2. Clear data from "Contacts Storage"
3. Enable all google related services that I have disabled before (Google Newstand, Google Book and etc)
It seems that I can only download the contacts the first time I add the account, but any edit I make on the phone won't sync back to Google.
Can't find any other new method from Google result...

Go to contacts (not with phone but contact app) go to settings then account and see if Google is there
Yes it is there, along with other stuff like Whatsapp, Samsung, Facebook etc. I have tried removing Google, re-add again, and then tweak one contact on my phone, and then go back to the setting > account > google to check, and there it is, "sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly" on the Contact part..
I was wondering if you got anywhere on this when you had the issue? I am having a similar problem.
Calendar not show Google Account. No Calendar Sync on Settengs->Accounts (China ROM)
Hello. Anybody here also has problem with showing google account on Calendar?
Already installed the official Google Calendar app but it also only shows "local account" on the calendar account settings.
I already did almost all the clearing, uninstalling, and restarting stuff I found after searching but still the issue exists.
All other Google services (Contacts, Maps, Drive, Keep) are working/syncing okay except the Calendar.
Would appreciate any ideas.
My Google Calendar {option does not even appear}
This is the same issue for me with the JOYUI rom.
When I look into permission manager or battery management, I always allow "googleCalendarSync" and all other google services to be check. Especially for autostart features. However, I just can't seem to get the calendars to sync. When I look it over under accounts> google> calendar does not appear at all. I have contacts, play services etc but not for calendar? Does anyone know what is wrong with it ? or has a fix assuming its googleCalendarSync issue?

You have a Chinese version that does not support Google sync!
Anyone solved tbis issue?
Hmm.. Never had that problem with mine. I'm not sure if this would help, but try installing a Google Contact Sync app. I forgot if this was something I installed separately after having Google Play.

Did you manully install Google Apps or you use the Google Apps Installer from the Mi Store?
Finally, I got it working! I've uninstalled the Google Calendar Sync that has been installed by the Google Installer for Mi devices and voila, it now syncs! That Google Calendar Sync is the culprit! LOL. I wish I've done it months ago.

Hey guys! Eyes here!
1. Uninstall any existing installed Google Calendar Sync in the "Manage App".
2. Install Google Calendar. Allow all permissions.
3. Download and install the latest Google Calendar Sync by searching for the apk on Google. Mine was (as of writing).
Google Calendar Sync 6.0.44-267540251-release
4. Install the apk. In the app settings, enable "Autostart" and other permissions necessary in the "Manage App" in Settings.
5. In "Accounts & Sync" > "Google" > make sure that "Calendar" and "Google Calendar" are all checked.
6. Restart your phone for good practice and make sure everything is working.
7. Done.

Can you please explain to me exactly what have I to do with my phone? I don't understand what is "Google Calendar Sync" and how can I remove it. I looked for some information and I couldn't find anything. My phone (OnePlus Nord 2) doesn't allow me to uninstall Google Calendar. Only the updates.
Thanks a lot.
EDIT: I finally could uninstall Google Calendar using ADB but when I install it again I continue owning the "Local Account"
I cant find a way to make Google Play log out my account and login with a different acct... thx for the help!

Have you tried adding a second Google account? You can do this through the Google app. Actually you can logout of your Google account and log into another account via that all too. Click on the account icon in the upper right hand corner for these options.

I clicked the account icon but there is still no option to log out. Only switch or manage or use without accounts.
