What Rom are you using?
This is what I did after I faced a prob.First check with some app like rom tool box ->root browser etc that your /system/app/ folder got HtcFacebook.apk if its there do as follows.If not ask your rom developer for that file.If its there do as follows and see..

This is because HTC decided to remove the Facebook for HTC Sense app in all Sense 3.5 ROM. Now you have to install the official Facebook app to sync your contacts. If you have a task manager, you can see there's still a Facebook for HTC Sense process but I guess it can no longer work on it's own and must depends on the Facebook app.
This implementation has also other implications. For example, many people reported that Whatsapp cannot show contact pictures from Facebook anymore even though they're linked.
I have tried more than 30+ ROM's so far. However I always wonder if it is possible to have a ROM without any google apps in it? Just to try, I installed CM7.2 from Cyanogenmod website and didnot flash the google apps patch. Instead I used EMail exchange app and configure new outlook address which fetch all my hotmail/outlook emails, calendar and contacts to the phone. I configure the F-Droid Repository the repo is very very small and has very limited apps. However with this option I was able to run a CM7.2 without any google apps. However I have always faced poor battery with CM7.2 as compared to the stock based ROM's. Has anyone tried something like this with Yahoo? I managed to install Whatsapp apk from their website but lot's of apps are not available on F-Droid repo.
Last option to the market is to install only google play and by going into settings accounts and sync disable google contacts,picasa,calendar sync. You can install Skydrive and Lync for corporate chat. However bing search app was not possible to install on ACE in india.
However I would really love to see a ROM that actually runs with either microsoft or yahoo apps (search, calendar, contacts, email) and without any google apps.
You can delete google apps yourself.
Download ROM.zip
Go to /system/app
Delete any undesired app.
You can also add your own apps so you don't have to add them everytime you flash it. Although im not sure about last part.
Or simply install ROM and with root explorer delete them.

What is the location of apps that gets installed on SDCard?
Also there are tones of ROM's getting released with same Cyanogenmod with different themes, kernels and added scripts. I 'd rather prefer to see a ROM which goes out of the way and removes google and keeps yahoo or microsoft! Also a there could be a ROM that is not CM based but has been build up from android sources!

Also, why would you want Microsoft apps. Android is owned by Google, and without Google Apps, it defeats the object of having an Android device. Android is designed around the Google ecosystem.
We could have AOSP, but it has lots of bugs, so it's easier to use CM.

Hi guys,
I have a quick query. This week, I downloaded and flashed the Android Revolution HD Rom for my HTC One and also flashed the aroma mod to have the htc logo be used as an option button. After flashing the rom, I noticed that I could no longer add new gmail accounts to my mail app through the "accounts and sync" option in my settings. The option to add new accounts is just gone, and I am wondering if it has something to do with the fact that I've flashed a new rom. Does anyone know if Android Revolution HD has any drawbacks like it locks you in to using only the apps native to HTC or something like that? I really don't know what the problem is or if this has been an issue that was there since before I flashed the rom and only noticed today. If anyone else has had this issue and resolved it, could you reply and write what you did to solve it? I am also open to suggestions, so please suggest as much as possible. Thanks every one.

Did you do a full wipe when you installed? Also, what recovery are you using?
To answer your question, No there is no sort of "limitation" on any apps at all. You can use whatever apps you please

The issue you have is not due to ARHD and there are no limitations at all (other than Android base compatability as with all roms) on the apps you can install. I suggest you reflash selecting wipe in the installer and see if this fixes your prob but don't use the HTC logo mod just in cas this is the cause.
Good idea but the issue was much simpler

So the solution was very similar to this one. First I kept messing around in the settings window and after tapping on the + in the upper right and then tapping everywhere, I was finally able to find out that to add a new account to my gmail I just had to tap on the google logo after tapping on the + in the upper right. Another thing that helped a lot was clearing the data for the gmail app. Thank you for your response @rider5512 :good:
Hey y'all
I found a link this morning for the new Android 5.0 leaked Google apps: http://http://phandroid.com/2014/10/20/check-out-the-new-messenger-google-play-music-and-more-leaked-android-5-0-lollipop/
I've simply installed the Messaging apk and it is working really well on my Rooted AT&T Note 3.
I attempted to install the new Gmail app, but I could not get it to work. I was getting FCs and had to jump back to the current Gmail.
Has anyone been able to get the Gmail apk to work?
UPDATE,
I've posted this in the "Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Q&A forum", and there are a handful of people that have the New Gmail apk running just fine on their devices (other carriers/ non-stock ROMs).
I'm thinking that maybe it has something to do with Stock Rooted Touchwiz...

I may be wrong on this but normally you would need to install the new market apk's in system first so that the market framework is correct.
make sure you backup first!

Only way is to install your factory rom again!
Regrd,
Apper!
Is returning to stock rom the only option or we can go to Omnirom 5.0?
Did anyone tried this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/fix-google-play-services-stopped-kk-4-4-t3150908 ?
Does anyone know a good tutorial on how to return to stock ROM from Omnirom 4.4.4?
Same here.

I dont believe a second you have to stock, and unroot to get rid of this. I ran same 444 u did got same prob.
Did system erase and AOSP 5.1 install but prob only slightly fixed (the play services alert doesnt flash every 4 seconds)
Hope ppl give solid answer soon
