Download bookmark sync.apk
Install it then got to accounts>google then you should know have a browser sync which should do it for you.

This is what I tried, and I still don't have Browser Sync in Google Accounts.
Download ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk
Push it to /system/app/
Change permissions to rw-r--r-- (not sure if necessary, but do it anyway)
Restart
Go into Settings -> Google Account
Select the account you want to sync
Check browser to turn bookmarks sync on

I pretty much gave up, so whenever you have time, I appreciate it.
This used to work for me on sense6 roms and before. I have not gotten it to work on sense 7 roms.
Is there a new sync. apk. I would like to be able to make this work to.
Thanks

Well I haven't tried the apk I been using on sense 7 yet. So if that's the case then no I don't know of a way I'll report back.

I want all the folders supported in Dolphin, not just 500 bookmarks that aren't in folders.
I am also trying to sync my chrome contacts.
I stumbled upon this and am also having trouble finding a way to do that easily. Or at all as a matter of fact.
you may want to look at "google bookmarks assister2" its a free app that will sync you google bookmarks. Now it doesn't sync them with a browser app it will show the bookmarks in that application and you can launch them from there and it does give folders so it isn't to bad. I had some trouble getting it to sync correctly but after I did it worked pretty nice. Hope this helped good luck.
anyone found anything to do this? if i had all my bookmarks i could seriously use my tablet as a laptop/desktop replacement.
google bookmarks != chrome bookmarks (which are still synced to the cloud... there must be a way of syncing)
It would be really nice to sync the bookmarks from Chrome with the Android browser. Will look in the market..

Have you tried Xmarks? It's not free (you have to pay a $1/m subscription fee to get the Android app to let you login. see: http://buy.xmarks.com/premium.php), but it will automatically sync your bookmarks to Android, as well as between computers and browsers, and it stores them all online.

thats isnt the same thing as what we are talking about. We are talking about syncing 50+ bookmarks at times. with chrome to phone you would have to send each one then bookmark each one. That could take a while
PhoneMarks, great app

I can vouch for this. It synced every app that was in the specified folder rather fast. I definitely needed this.
ChromeMarks (Lite/free - if you're satisfied with 1 way sync => PC to phone)
thank you for the help
I just tried PhoneMarks. I setup it up to sync with the default android browser, then went into dolphin HD\bookmarks to SD to sync from android browser to google bookmarks, then synced google bookmarks to dolphin. long story short, my chrome bookmarks are finally on my phone. thanks for the tip.
I'd love to try chromemarks, but I fear giving that many permissions to an app, that should be a stock feature. :/
I'm sure in time I'll just do it.
questions:
does it sync folders as well?
and does it just show up in the browser bookmarks, or do you have to click the app icon or whatever?
Phonemarks moves the bookmarks to recently visited on Samsung phones. Melt.
If you do however, go into most visited and untap the yellow favs star then click it again it'll add it to favourites.
Can't believe google didn't had that damn feature on last 2.x updates..! PhoneMarks, what would be the danger to use it exactly..?
Does anyone happen to have it? I want to run it on CM6 so i can get pictures from facebook for my contacts.

Use the official Facebook app, it works better than friend stream. You can do the same with the official Twitter app.
I don't get how to do it with the facebook application. I messed around with it for a bit, but no avail. Any help?

Go to settings and make sure you have sync contacts enabled. The names /emails have to be similar, but you can always go the contact app, edit a contact and then use the join option in the menu to manually connect contacts.
Edit: this works better than Sense because now all apps that use contact syncing will now have that popup menu when you click on a contacts photo.

Sorry man, but Friend Stream is for HTC Sense frameworks, and won't work in CM6. But, if you purchase Launcher Pro Plus, then that launcher has a widget similar to friend stream (puts facebook + twitter stuff in one widget for ya).
Good luck
Also as an fyi- you can go to any OTA rom, download and rip out any apk's you may want to try. All you need is winrar and you can extract the friendstream.apk file from system/app/ yourself

Use Launcherpro (http://www.launcherpro.com/. It has a widget that is the same as Friendstream.
Is it possible to get the file or files that store the bookmark data to be saved and then restored. I know there are apps for this but I like to keep my phone light and don't have to worry about setting permissions...
This is so far the only thing I dread doing every time I do a new install, go to every single website and set the bookmarks.
Thanks in advance.

I am using clean Rom 1.1 and there is no option to sync bookmarks in google accounts.
How can I add internet to accounts so I can sync bookmarks.
When you login to a Google account it should sync everything automatically. If not settings>accounts&sync and make sure auto sync is checked. You can also select what you want to sync by clicking on the account and selecting from the list.

That's what I did but internet isn't in the options. l used a different Rom and it had the internet option In accounts to check. This Rom doesn't.
Is there any way to add internet option to account sync.
Ok I see. When you login to Google Browser with same login from PC your Bookmarks will sync Automatically.

It won't sync bookmarks. Pretty sure that's why Scott didn't include it.
There is a bookmark sync apk I believe somewhere in the theme and apk section. There was a thread a long time ago pertaining to the HTC browser and getting it to sync with your google account.

Thanks hope that works haven't tried that yet.
I tried that in the link and didn't work. I know it can sync, because I have used it in ACR Rom.
It has internet option in google accounts sync and this is after I installed the stock browser zip. Is there any way to add internet option in google accounts sync.
Did you push the sync.apk to the system apps? I'm pretty sure it has to be there for it to show up in the accounts tab. Also make sure to reboot after pushing it. And change permissions to match the other apps. Other than that, i'm not sure what else to do.
No I just installed the apk I will read the thread again and try again. Thanks for everyone's replies and help. I don't post much but I read a lot,
and have learned at lot form everyone hear.
I used the chrome sync file found on this page. Just installed it last night and it works (for me anyway). I installed it just as you would any other app. Download it and press on the downloaded file in a file browser to install it.

Hi guys, just received my mate 7 32Gbps from.China with gmail and play store installed but it seems they forgot to add the contact sync option and it doesn't appear in the Google account option (I have only app, people contacts and email sync options).
Does anyone know how to retrieve my contacts and add this option on a chinese import mate 7 ???
Thanks for help
Im in the same space as you are maly348. Usually for Huawei i root the phone and rename that XML file in the china directory and that takes care of the contacts sync issue but none of my one click root programs work with the mate 7 yet.
I am willing to paypal $50 to anyone that can help me get this done!

You just need to install GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.APK, that will enable you to sync your google contact. it is available in XDA forum please search for it. No need to root the phone for this function. It works on my Huawei P7 and Mate 7.
Hi suksanto
Thanks for this Input... It works just fine on my Mate 7 now!
Well done!
Thanks, it appears now but for whatever reason, it keep syncing non stop without stopping ... Which version of gapps did you install ?

I have downloaded the GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk from cyanogenmod.org, they have a section for Google Apps. I have installed it using the built-in File Manager as a non-market app, no need to root device, which is great. However I have two google accounts that I am using for sync (one for private and one for business) and I can only enable sync for one of them. The other one, when I enable auto sync, it appears as if it is enabled but then the auto sync is switched off. Any ideas of what may be wrong? I installed the latest google apps package GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk from the cyanogenmod website, it is version 20140606 CM11.

Yes they are. I managed to now get both accounts to sync. After several attempts, the syncing switch finally stayed "on" for both.
