[Q] How to change Google primary account username

When I set up my Xoom, I connected it to my Google account, which does NOT have a "gmail.com" domain, or gmail.
I have since found that Voice Search will only search contacts associated with the gmail account.
If I try and add gmail to my Google account, it tells me I will need to change my primary account name on the account to something new, in "gmail.com".
If I do this, how would I point the Xoom to this new Google account name, to still have stay connected with my backups, market purchases, etc?
Thanks!

Maybe because it's a shared calendar. So events are not created with your "customized gmail account", but with your college's and those events are shared with you. To sync every calendar, follow these steps. It works for me well.
another gmail Q

Google has removed calendar sync via ActuveSync.
Check out this post on the Outlook blog about using Outlook.com to check/send your Gmail account. This will let you use your existing email on your Windows Phone by adding only your Microsoft account to your phone, and you don't have to change your email address or anything. Also, I use my gmail address as my Microsoft account login, and it is fine. Your MS Account login can be any email you want.

Next, this post on wpcentral explains how to import those gmail calendars into your Microsoft account via Outlook.com. Hopefully it will help you.

Disable Gmail account in Gmail app?

My Google account has a spare Gmail account associated with it that I don't want to appear in the Gmail app. I use the Gmail app with other, non-Gmail email accounts that I have.
Is there any way to disable the Gmail account from appearing at all in the Gmail app (and Calendar app, for that matter)? Simply telling Android not to sync the Gmail portion of my Google account isn't enough to do anything.

need a efficient and secure email app

can any one suggest me a email app where i can add gmail accounts and get notifications, reply to mails etc without adding the account to my phone/syncing my phone. every mail app i tried asks me to add the account to the android system which is leading to syncing of my personal information to that gmail account.

Google Account Syncs Contacts, Despite Being Disabled

I can't have my own email servers, because Google considers anything not from gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc to be spam. So I use a gmail account and need to have a google account in my phone. I use Nextcloud and DAVx5 to sync some files and contacts, so I disabled the google account's contact sync.
Since I imported my contacts into Nextcloud/DAVx5, I deleted the google versions of said contacts. However, despite google contacts sync being disabled, this deleted all my contacts over at gmail and contacts.google.com.
Is there a way to positively DISABLE contacts sync with my google account?
ps. Notice how I didn't bother to post this at Google support?
