Hi there.
In the Lollipop 5.1.1 version as well as CM 12.1 I'm not able to allow Google to sync only Google Chrome. This really annoys me, as I sync all my accounts and other stuff with another software locally.
In the accounts setting of android I see the Google account and can only enable or disable it. I tried the "Accounts Sync Profiler" app that allows to specify what exactly should be synced over my Google account, but it never met the conditions I've set in the software to finally sync my data.
I might want to mention I prefer syncing only when connected to a power source (not battery) and a certain WLAN hotspot I decide. Preferable, I'd like to get only Chrome synced without third party applications. With "Auto Sync" I could enable it only when my mobile fulfill all my requirements, finally.
Is there any Xposed module I can use or at least any app that stops syncing all except my Chrome data when enabling Google Sync?
Thank you.
Really, nobody can help me with that issue?
EDIT: I updated to the new Cyanogen Mod (CM13, Android 6). Android 6 allows me to set what to sync, exactly.

Hey,
I have two issues and two questions regarding them......
1) I would like to sync the Tasks app. with Google however I do not see Google in the Sync Task profile only my Samsung account.
2) I'd like to sync the Memo app. with Google. It says that I'm not logged in to Google Docs however when I put both my email and password in the login tab does not light up, if I use a different email address it does.
As an added note I also declined a popup from Google about permissions to see what would happen. The window disappeared and nothing did happen!..... At least thats what I thought till now! Not sure how to undo that and suspect that's the problem!
I have also tried to remove my Google account, this only seems possible if you hard reset-which would have to be a last resort for me. I've also been on to my Gmail and Google docs setting via P.C. and am unable to find any setting there that would be affecting these issues.
Any Ideas on how to fix this?
I also have this problem and can not solve it.
I have google docs installed on my phone, but the e-mail address which is registered does not end with gmail.com but a different domain. I can use google docs without a problem but I can not login inside Memo to sync it with my google account.
Any ideas?
I prefer this app. Works great for me http://www.appbrain.com/app/gtasks/org.dayup.gtask

Is very good (I use it a lot)... But doesn't solve the sync of Memo... Any recommendations?
i use document to go for google doc... they work fantastic!
Since there's still no way to sync memo with google, i just use Simple Notepad. Color note sounds good too, it supports online back up and sync but haven't try it yet ...
Im using Mobisle Notes. Is very good, not perfect... But... the best u could find.
Any solution on this problem? I also would like to sync my task and memo with my google account. But when I hit the "Sync task" only Samsung Account is available for sync. When I hit the "Add Account", I can only add Exchange ActiveSync account".
I read in this forum and elsewhere, many have successfully sync their task with google task. I wonder is it really possible to sync stock task app with google task? Maybe it is the bug of my ROM. I am using stock ROM Gingerbread 2.3.3.
Use Google docs ore dropbox

Thanks for the information. But since the Tasks is already available for TouchWiz, I would rather use the built in Tasks app. I think the only way is to configure the Gmail Account as an Exchange ActiveSync account. There is a sample configuration for that in the Internet.
Sorry, you mean Task or Notes is on TouchWiz?
Also, can you post the "There is a sample configuration" you mention?
I would like to see it.
Thanks!
Hi,
I'm having trouble using Google Keep.
It doesn't want to sync at all.
It says "Sync is Unavailable" under my account in settings, I checked and it it flag for syncing in the system preferences.
It doesn't seem to be link to my android because I changed ROM 3-4 times in the last days and it's always the same issue.
It seems to be link to the Google Keep server itself though. Here is a screenshot from my browser.
Got my new Pixel XL and everything is great, except none of my Google App Data is syncing (most notably my saved WiFi networks because that's easiest to check). Additionally, my Google Keyboard personal dictionary will not show up on my phone. I have no sync errors, all sync settings/accounts have been checked, forcefully synced, removed/re-added, etc. Standard troubleshooting stuff.
The issue is not just the Pixel. Two weekends I wiped my Nexus 5X and gave it to my buddy so he could take Android for a test drive (considering the jump from iOS). I use my Nexus 6 for my G Suite work phone, so while waiting for my Pixel to ship I just created a second profile on the Nexus 6 for my personal account. I experienced the same sync issue there as well. I chocked it up to running multiple profiles (I've heard Google Keyboard struggles with multiple profile dictionaries, especially business profiles) and just sucked it up until the Pixel arrived.
Well now here it is and I'm still not syncing, so does anyone know how I can fix this? I've never had an issue in the past, I'd log in on a new phone and all of my stuff would be waiting for me.
Side note: I spent an hour chatting with Pixel support this morning about this issue, even though it's not a Pixel issue, I thought I'd see what the support is all about. What a joke.
I'm wondering if this has anything to do with Nougat. Android Backup Service has never failed me until Nougat. Starting to lose hope that my data is recoverable.
I have similar problem with Google keyboard sync, primary I use personal Gmail account and as secondary Gmail work account. When I remove work account and reinstall Google keyboard sync start to work until I add Gmail work account... I don't understand where's the problem with it...

Interesting data point.
I don't think the issue is Nougat. I added a few words/shortcuts to my dictionary on my Pixel XL, and then ran the sync on my car's Android 5.1 head unit and the words did not sync. (Neither do my saved networks). I don't know how to get support on this. No one knows what I'm talking about most of the time, there's no official support;I can't just call up Google. Pixel support is really only good for helping me figure out how to power on my phone. I was hoping they might have some connections but it's just typical lackluster support.

It's because Google Keyboard doesn't support sync with GSuite accounts But I don't know how use two accounts, one GSuite and second free and connect the app to the free account. Any idea?
BTW f*ck Google when it takes more usability to free users that to paying...
I would like to switch to Chrome OS for "industrial" use by installing android apks on Chrome instead of Android and benefiting from a better remote management and OS version control/updates.
However one apk to be installed requires, for licensing, that a specific account be registered on the system.
On Android, you go to "accounts" and then add it - it is a simple mail account, though that could be a Gmail/Google account - but the same account will have to be deployed on the fleet of devices, so many devices on one account.
Do we have the same possibility on Chrome OS?
Thanks,
Nicolas
Ask Dev. For volume licensing?

Are you asking if you can set up accounts on ChromeOS' Android subsystem? If so, the answer is yes- via the Android Settings. Works exactly the same as within Android itself.
If you're trying to set up an email account specifically-- you can use Gmail accounts with the Gmail Android app (which would use Account Settings as described above). You can use the web app via mail.google.com. Or if you want to go outside google, you can use something like K-9 mail (which you can get via the Play Store or via F-Droid or even build and deply yourself) and set that up just like any other Android app.
Hope this answers the question.
Hi folks,
Imagine the current situation:
With the help of Shelter (https://github.com/PeterCxy/Shelter) I created a work profile. I want to use this work profile as a container with less personal data than my main profile.
For this reason I deactivated the "com.google.android.syncadapters.contact" app.
With this setup I was able to add my Google account inside the work profile without having my contacts get downloaded on the device in this profile.
On Android 10 however this doesn't work anymore. The syncadapter is still deactivated (frozen) but the contacts sync nevertheless.
I'm aware of the fact that I can manually disable the sync in the settings of the work profile.
However I need a solution that a) can prevent the sync before adding the account (since the first sync already happened when I add the account and then go to settings) and b) can be done programatically since I'm writing my own app based on this.
So my question is if any of you pros know where the contact sync mechanism (of a google account) is defined since Android 10 and if you see another possibility to disable this again.
Regards,
David
