nub here,
just installed first non HTC based ROM (CM10). It doesn't ask to sign in with gmail and then doesn't sync contacts and apps. I tried putting in my gmail account where it asked for my email and yet no contacts or apps.
where, and why can i sync all my stuff up at?
thanks
Did you flash the Gapps package for JellyBean after flashing the ROM?

gapps are not pre-packaged in all ROMS

I've had trouble finding the answer to this question as I'm not really sure what to search for.
For Android Google apps (such as Gmail and Contacts especially) Is it a one-way sync, or two-way sync, or something inbetween?
If I add a contact to my phone that I associate with a Google ID, it syncs to Google such that I see it in my Gmail Contacts list once it's done.
But when I delete a contact either on my phone or in Gmail, will it delete the contact off the other devices as well?
How does it all work?
Thanks in advance, xda community

yup
From my understanding it's a completely two way sync based on time stamps (date updated)

It uses Microsoft active sync, so when you update on one source, it updates on all.

Several people have had issues getting Hotmail to sync correctly when set up as an alexchange account. Personally I have tried it using the Activesync option and setting everything manually as well as choosing the option specifically for Hotmail which has default settings built in with no luck on either.
This seems to be happening with some of the newer custom ROMs for others as well. I can get it to work on stock and Fresh 5.1.1 with no problems. I've tested it with MeanROM and ClassicJewel and can't get it to work.
Is it possible that a memory tweak or removed apk is preventing it from working correctly?
Edit: Hotmail is also apparently working okay on Charmeleon and Flex360 without issue.

I'm on Viper and I ended up dumping the built in email client for Hotmail and installed the Hotmail app in the Play Store. Haven't had any issues with receiving email with the Hotmail app.
I am stock and hotmail is being flaky, with both the hotmail option and the active sync option

I thought I was the only one with this issue. I don't have a custom ROM but I am rooted. My hotmail has only synced twice in the past 5 days.

I would say maybe it is a Hotmail server issue but it works okay on some ROMs and with a 3rd party email app (Enhanced Email)

Hi,
I just finished installed AOKP by romanbb milestone 6. By doing factory reset, flash image, flash gapps.
However, I can't find Gmail nor mail options in my account sync.
I attach my screenshot of whats available to sync when I add my Gmail account

I did a reflash on gapps, but still no Gmail.
Looking forward for any solutions

Download from play store as its not in gapps anymore
You're right!
I was just about to reply myself.
Searched Google play and it's there.
Thanks!
Solved

This is the message I get every time I try to sync my phones calendar with my Google account calendar. No appointments are showing up on my phone. Everything else such as e-mail and contacts sync just fine. What am I missing here?

Try SystemSettings->Apps->Calendar->clear data
If doesn't help - flash to rooted stock and do factory reset.
And you failed to say if u r running Stock ROM or AOKP or CM9/10.
Sorry. Running a stock deodexed rooted Rom on VZW GSIII. I recall I got the same message before I rooted too.

Factory reset on rooted stock ROM did not fix the problem. Any other ideas?
I had a similar issue on my Xoom (and found this thread when I was posting a solution on the Xoom forum).
I wound up deleting my gmail account and setting it up as an enterprise account (called "Corporate" in settings). It now works flawlessly, so I hope it will work on your GSIII.

Doesn't look llike that's an option on my gsiii.
Hard reset didn't work. I even flashed stock unrooted ROM via Odin. Now pretty much back to the phones original condition.
Still not syncing and getting the same message. So it's either the hardware (didnt think this could be a hardware problem) or a problem with my Google account (then why would email and contacts sync no problem?)
I'm stumped. Should I take the phone to the store?

Hello children. Uhhhmmm I recently flashed epinters 10.1. Actually this is the first time flash a custom rom. I just wanna ask about my facebook contacts. I added my acct Facebook but it didn't snyc like blur does. I used sync me but wasn't satisfied. I want all my contacts in Facebook sync in my phone even though they dont have phone/contact numbers. How'd i do that?! Thank you.

Thats because this isn't a blur rom.
I recall seeing contact sync on android apps section.
EDIT: I cant fimd it, but you could also try in the playstore, there seems to be several apps that do what you need
