[Q] Custom rom and Google oauth

Hi all,
I'm using a custom rom in my i7500 and I have issues with google oauth. I'm not able to being identifed by Google and so applications that need access to Google api never manage to connect.
I have the problem with my application HappyContacts when trying to retrieve the Google contacts, and also with Seesmic for android when trying to add my Google Buzz account.
I'm in relation with another user which has exactly the same problem (in HappyContacts and Seesmic), so it's not only on my phone.
Does somebody manage to add a Google buzz account in Seesmic with a custom rom ?
Does somebody heard about authentification problem with Google Oauth and custom roms ?
Thanks in advance

GMail App on CM7 - Autosync?

Hey guys, for some days im also in the CM7 club now. Since I prefer the GMail-App which comes with the stock Sensation over the AOSP mail client I recovered it with Titanium Backup. Now I don't get any Mails pushed to my phone anymore, I have to sync manually from the Gmail App all the time.
Anybody got an advice how to fix this? Is the GMail-App also available in the market, so I could try getting it from there and reinstall it?
Thanks a lot guys!

Newbie to custom roms.. question about email and accounts

Hi everyone!
I just successfully rooted my HTC Sensation 4G and installed cynogenmod (HyperSensation-CM7.1-v1.2).
Everything seems fine so far, but I'm confused about the default included 'email' app. Is this the google-made gmail program or something different? I expected once I set up my 'account' upon initial startup, clicking on this e-mail app would 'just work' and pull up my emails, but instead it started asking me for email account details.
Should I download 'gmail' from the market? Is that what I really want?
Also, I'd like the swype-like functionality back on this keyboard, but don't know the best way to get that back. Any help would be appreciated, as I can't post to the cynogenmod thread yet.
Thanks!
Most roms have 2 Email Apps, one is Gmail, the other is Email.
If you use Gmail for your email address (i.e. xxxx.gmail.com), then you should use the Gmail app which some Roms include and can easily be downloaded from Android Market.
If you use a pop email account, like yahoo or hotmail, then for those you don't use the Gmail app, but can use the other Email app. You can also download other Email apps from the Market, like K9 or Enhanced Email, for this purpose too.
Excellent, actually once I started 'restoring' from my google account, it downloaded gmail for me automatically and that's working like I expected. Thanks for the help.
Any idea on the swype keypad functionality?

[Q] Google play services reading contacts BLOCKED (?)

Hi to all,
I do not know if this has been answered before.
I have enabled the privacy guard (custom ROM) on the Google services app, and I see that it tries to read my contacts every time I open hangouts or gmail.
If I block it, will I loose any kind of functionality?
Thank you in advance

[Q] - Stock htc apps in apk

Hi everybody,
I have a slight issue with my HTC one S. I tried to get rid of some of the built-in apps (like Facebook and such) by rooting my phone and using titanium backup. Well, I made a backup before I rooted my phone and in this backup I also included my email settings (which also includes the exchange server of my work). Now, I was trying to recover the mail settings, and all of a sudden the stock HTC mail programme was deleted from my phone. Titanium actually says it has been deleted but I cannot seem to find the original apk back anywhere.
I tried installing the original Google Email apk including the exchange server framework, but it seems to be stuck somewhere (no idea why). So...my question to you guys is; is there anyone who could help me with the APK for the mail client on the HTC One S (Android 4.1.1)?
You guys are the best!
