You should sign in to your google account to make it appear on your app drawer.. Signing in on gmail will also do the trick.. You can also go to Settings > Accounts and Sync > Add account > Click on Google and sign in..

No.. I am on V10H stock ROM, rooted
OK.. This is what I have done. Since it did not work, I continued and after the setup completed I could see picasa albums in my gallery. In order to remove this I went to settings, Accounts and sync and unchecked the sync settings for picasa. But still I am able to see images in gallery. Next step, I went to settings-> Apps -> All -> Gallery -> clear cache and clear data
Problem resolved

thx bro,
i just download google + and gmail app form the store.
i don't know how, but that solve the problem
contacts just synced after installing g+, that's all g+ is autosyncing it after installation.
Also if you have yours contacts on sim go to
settings > import/export > import from sim card.
In case this is useful to anyone, you may have to click and unclick the box to the right of "Contacts Last synced x/xx/2014" to get all of your contacts imported to your phone. I had most of mine, but were missing a handful of (the more important ones), and couldn't figure out why they weren't showing up.
plz help me sir
Sir I want to know that cyanogenmod ROM is supported for my Micromax canvas juice a77 phone or not. Sir pls I want it for my phone. From where I can get it

[q] cant find the ui settings in google apps and more

Hello, I just flashed pacman 4.3 and gapps, when I logged in to my apps I can't find the "My Apps" icon, when I open my google calendar I can not see the settings tab, when i log in to my amazon app i can find the 3 dot settings tab as well.
Am I missing something here, do i need to reflash or is there a setting somewhere on the rom that i need to enable.
Thanks in advance

Can't log out of google account

I setup a fire tablet for a friend by rooting it, and adding google play. Tested the system, and various apps by logging into my personal google account via play. Everything works great, except that I can't figure out a way to log out of my google account on the device before giving it back to my friend.
The issue seems to be that the amazon system doesn't have an "accounts" or "accounts & sync" settings menu like most android devices, where you can remove/delete accounts.
I was able to change my google password, and then wipe the data from the various apps to prevent the device from syncing any further but the issue is that my account is still listed in play/gmail/etc, and there is a 'sign in' notification that won't go away.
Anyone have any thoughts on a work around to fully remove my google account from the device?
Would clearing data for the Google Play services apps do it?
Do you have a google settings app, looks like a cog?
If so, sign in and security, devices and notifications, loads a web page, on recently used devices click review devices, select the Fire, Press remove?
Come to think of it I think you can load the web page on pc if don't have the app, try logging in at
https://myaccount.google.com/u/1/security#activity
On the left select - Device activity & notifications, scroll down and select review devices, select the Fire and press Remove.
Looks like it should do the trick.

I did this as well. It effectively does the same thing as changing your google password. It does not remove the account from the device. It still shows up in all the google programs, and prompts a permanent notification that the account requires attention. I think this process is intended to prompt a device to re-sign in to google without changing the password itself.

I think your original post prior to edit, stating that a factory reset is the easiest method, might be the way to go.
Appreciate the help guys! :good:
I setup one for my Mother-In-Law this weekend and I was able to add an new account and then remove the old one. I think gapps require an account to function so there has to be an account but once a second is added the first can be removed.

Do you remember how you removed the 2nd account? I have 2 accounts on the device, yet still can't find an option to remove one other than a link to "manage accounts" which then takes me to the main amazon settings menu which has no account management for google.

Doesn't this also remove your gmail, apps, calendar, etc?

Yes it did. All of the apps that I looks at only showed the current account. It didn't remove any apps but the user was no longer associated with them.

I mean, does the deleted account even exist anymore? Can you access it from other devices/PC? I remember a big warning when I was thinking of doing this that everything would be deleted: Gmail, contacts, app history, google drive files, etc. Thanks.

If you are on the stock rom like the OP you can't access the menu pjs mentions, the one you can get to via "google settings", "account preferences", "delete your account or services" would do what you fear above.

Ah, CM12.1 is how you are able to do it. I'm still on the stock Amazon rom with Nova launcher.

OK, it sounds like my original post was correct for rooted stock so I'll try to reconstruct it, if not for you, then for others who might need it.
There's no simple way to remove a google account. Basically, you have to delete gapps, either manually or by factory reset, and reinstall.
(EDIT: Reinstalling over current Gapps - Didn't think to mention this as an option because when I installed new Gapps over old I had major problems with google apps crashing and had to factory reset anyway. That was over a year ago with earlier Gapps version, though. Maybe it could magically work now?)
Factory Reset: I think this is easiest. Do the reset and then install Gapps again. Your apps and data will be deleted, but root survives. If you flashed the SuperSU zip, the app installed to /system so you won't have to reinstall it. Same with your launcher if you moved that to /system. (If you didn't flash SuperSU zip, you'll need to reinstall the app after resetting.)
Disable your launcher and enable the Fire launcher before resetting. The state of system apps disabled/enabled with the "adb shell pm" command doesn't change with the reset. (I've confirmed this several times with gatesjunior's Debloater tool. Still, I always keep wifi off during a reset and disable OTA again afterwards.)
Manually: You must uninstall (at least) play store, play services, gmail, google accounts and google setup. Use Titanium Backup to search for all things "google" and see if there's anything else that sounds account-related. Make a list of what you're getting rid of, back them up and uninstall. Then get new apks from some place like apkMirror.
This worked perfect:

I then re-ran the Amazon-Fire-5th-Gen-SuperTool and option 2 and the account is now gone.

How do I re-install gapps? I don't want to factory reset as this is my mother's tablet, and manually uninstalling requires root.

Not sure. I wrote this for rooted stock. Guess it depends on how you installed it and whether or not you can get to any core components. Maybe someone else will have an idea.
