I'm on stock 2.3.6 ROM and have a question regarding Google Account.
The one I have and regularly use doesnt have Gmail. So my email adress from Hotmail is my Google login and all other services exept Gmail work fine.
I had no problems adding such account to the phone on CM, but on stock it just repeatedly asks me to register Gmail cause my existing account doesnt have one.
As I understood AccountAndSyncSettings.apk is responsible for sync and accounts, so I assume on CM and on stock there are different versions of this app and 2.3.6 or Samsung one doesnt work in my situation.
Can anyone help me to solve this problem, maybe installing .apk from CM10.1 would help?

That's not the case. Why would Gmail work with Hotmail account.
I just want to add Google Account without Gmail to stock 2.3.6 Android.
As I said, it worked on CM7.2 and CM10.1
Btw, I've deleted gmail.apk, made wipe, tried to add my Google Account again and that didnt help. Accounts settings still ask me to get myself a Gmail under my already existing Google Account

Google account sync all google products (youtube,gmail,maps,playstore... and all of them works with a google account) I don't still understand your situation...if you don't like gmail you can delete gmail.apk but maybe your hotmail account has linked your google account and it's the problem :s
Viper The Ripper, I've discribed my situation and you still want to answer with something unrelated instead of trying to understand what I wrote.
Anyway, trying to change AccountAndSyncSettings.apk from other firmwares now.

I have to gmail accounts. Most of my gtalk activity is done through one, which is not my primary sync account on my cappy. I do not want to switch primary sync accounts because it will mess my contact list and calendar. I could not find the answer to this questions in the google forum:
1) Is there a way to switch gmail accounts/sign in in google talk, when one have more than one gmail account?
2) Why the manual sign in is not "manual" it automatically signs me in to the primary gmail account on my phone without even asking me for ID or pass?
Thank you in advance for your thoughts and experiences.
Solved / Solution to Gtalk switch accounts (without factory reset)
All fixed ( Without Factory Reset ).
Root access to /data/system/
and renamed accounts.db to accounts.db.bk
Reboot sgs and market, gtalk and gmail asks for login.
A very man!
[ thanks 2 Jrhoop ]

I was looking exactly for this! Thanks to all contributors works like a charm!
So does this method let you have one login for the Market app while having a separate login for the Google Talk app? Or do you have to switch back and forth with both apps using the same login at the same time?
Thanks for any replies.

so ???? will that save all my saved apps , whats the process to change my primary gmail to another gmail account ? ,
awnser was verry vauge .
you will have to root and back up all your apps with titanium backup, any app that requires an email address check(meaning it wont work without the email that purchased it) wont work but i dont think there are that many that do that..
then you will have to do a factory reset, set up your new email reroot and then restore apps....
What if you added a second Google account onto your phone with your new address and then just stopped synching the email, calendar, etc from the old one?

Any purchased apps are tied to your gmail account.
I don't know how to move that to a new account, or if it is even possible.
This is probably a question that needs to go to a broader audience than just captivate users, if not straight to Google's support forum.
ok thanks for the help all , i will try posting in a general section ! , apreciate it.
I'd like to change the e-mail address I use to log into the market/play store. I created the account a long time ago, and have since began using a different gmail account as my primary email, so I'd like to be able to change it if possible. The thing is, I want to keep the contacts and purchased apps currently synced with my old account under the new address. Does anyone know if I can do this?
hmmmmmmmmmmmm
You can have more than one account and set up what you want to sync with each account so I'd just use both. I have several accounts. I sync mail on all and only sync contacts, calendar etc with one.
Not sure you will be able to do it any other way. But maybe someone else can help.

I think isn't possible to port market link from one account to another; maybe to only solution is to make a titanium backup of your data and try to restore after changing the account.
If you have TB pro you can try also to restore missing links of the paid apps you have.
If it don't work you don't lost anything 'cause you are working on an new "empty" account.
So :
- Make a TB backup of all your data and apps
- Remove your Google account
- Add your new account
- Restore data and apps
It should work.
Yeah there are ways around the fact, TB and syncing different accounts. Just wondering if there was an easier solution than I know
I'll just sync a couple accounts and make do.

Not a hundred percent positive but dont think you can... I looked into it a while back
you have to reset your phone
I'm running CM9 Nightly (8/8/12). I obviously need to sign into my gmail account in order to use the play store. However, I don't want to sync anything from that account. The reason is that the tablet is shared by the family and I don't want anyone to accidently send e-mail from my account. I also don't want everyone reading my e-mails. After I signed it I went to accounts & sync and turned off syncing with google. However, my e-mail is still in the gmail app. I tried clearing cache and data on the gmail app, but that didn't work either. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Is there any way to avoid this?
Should I create a new gmail account like 'ryanDONTSYNC' in order to have something to log into that doesn't have e-mail / contacts / calendar items?
Thanks,
Ryan

Read this thread. I think it answers your question.

Hi all,
tried a search but had no results for my particular question.
The thing is: I would want to use the GMail app for a specific account. But I'm afraid the Google account I use in GMail will pop up in other apps such as Market and such. So: when I add an account to GMail is that account used in _only_ GMail or will it be stored as a Google account on the device?
Thanks in advance,
Marc
