Unable to sync bookmarks from Google backup - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

Use ROM:

I want to sync app data and chrome bookmarks from google backup.
After I clean flash OxygenOS, I logged in to my google account in the setup wizard.
Then, the application and contacts are successfully synchronized, but the application data and chrome bookmarks are not.
I re-opened the "Auto Sync" in the settings and clicked "Sync Now", the result remains the same.
Did I miss any steps? Or is it because OxygenOS is missing something?
By the way, I did not encounter this problem when using Pixel Experience, and I can sync normally.

Xoom syncs my Picasa albums even when unchecked in account settings?!

Anyone experience this? Logged into the Xoom for the first time with my gmail, and it synced everything, than I went to accounts > google account and unchecked the pictures, refreshed and the Xoom still synced the pictures.
Anyone now of a way to get rid of them? Don't want the new girlfriend checking out old pictures

Had the same issue, unfort I don't have a solution. I just deleted the pictures I didn't want coming through. Thankfully Picasa is not my primary photo app.
The trick is to unceck the boxes before the first sync. At this point your only option it to uncheck the picasa sync first and then delete folders accordingly.
If you've already synced, after you uncheck Picasa, clear that gallery application data.
Clearing the gallery application data worked fine, thanks!

Android ICS: Adding bookmark to Gmail account

Hello
I'm trying to figure out how to use the built-in web browser on my Android 4.0.3 tablet (Ainol Novo 7 Advanced II). As per the internet my Chrome bookmarks should be available on it. And I should be able to add bookmarks to my Chrome using Gmail account.
The adding bookmark feature in my tablet is only showing me Local account. And there is no way to make it show my Gmail account even though my device is synced up with my Gmail account, also in market and etc. places.
How do I make it available there?
Regards
Faraz Azhar

I'm attaching another screenshot. The only few thins I see inside my gmail's sync settings are calendar, contacts, gmail, and the two software I recently installed Google Current and Google Chrome Beta. I checked these settings even prior to installing these two software, I couldn't see anything that would show that the default browser's bookmarks are being synced.
The only way for me to get my gmail sync folder in the bookmarks was to completely reset all the browser settings and data. (settings->application->internet-> delete cache and data). Then resync the bookmarks by going to sync+accounts in settings.
Finally the folder of my gmail account was visible in my bookmarks.
Does anyone know how to change my default bookmark storing-folder? Whenever I try to add a bookmark I have to change the folder manually to my gmail folder - quite annoying.

CM10 4.1.2 | Calendar Not Syncing?

I switched over to CM from stock and installed the gapps, but my Calendar widget has been completely blank, the Google account sync page doesn't have a "Sync Calendar" checkbox anymore, and I can't even add events in the Calendar app.
I tried putting GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk in /system/app to no avail — Still says sync error.*
gmail, youtube, music, and Drive all work, so it doesn't seem to be the google account itself...
Now doesn't connect either. Is this an issue relating to today's service outage?
Had the same problem, just uninstalled the calendar. rebooted the phone and then reinstalled it via play store. went in to settings and selected which calendar it must sync with and boom, everything back to normal.
Is it the widget only that's not working?
You can try to clear cache and data from Settings | Apps | Calendar, Calendar Storage & Google Calendar Sync.

Sync Facebook data into Gmail contacts

Something that has been bugging me is the way Facebook and Google don't play nicely when it comes to contact syncing.
In the past it wasn't really a big issue as I only used one device and everything just sync'd in the background, now as I prefer to manage all of my contacts via the gmail contacts page, rather than via my phone I set about trying to figure out how I could get both Gmail and Facebook contacts to sync to my Google account.
I tried a few of the tools available, such as ubersync, contacts+ and haxsync, these all do a great job of mixing your Facebook contacts in with your gmail contacts on your device, but they are still treated as seperate when syncing back up to gmail.
I found a way to get around this by using Google's sync along with haxsync and a bit of dirty ol manipulation, and I thought I'd share it if others are wanting to do the same. I take no responsibility if you mess things up, so if you are not confident then make sure you make backups before you start.
Also before you start just realise you will loose any group sorting you may have done but this can be edited again via the gmail contacts pagee quite easily)
First of all, sync all the gmail contacts into your android device from google.
Install Haxsync from the Google Play store (contacts+ and ubersync may give the same results)
Goto advanced settings for haxsync and set things up the way you want (I selected to have the htcdata backup entry put into the notes field, but this is optional)
now sync with haxsync to get all the facebook details and wait for the haxsync to finish.
Now you have all the data into your device if you look at an entry you might see some of the users data is listed under the google account, and other parts are listed under the haxsync account. From here on only the google data will sync back up to google.
Now to perform some manipulation
Go to settings on your android device(s) and disable syncing for both Google and haxsync. (note I said device(s) this means disable sync on all other device you might have that also sync to Google)
Go into People on your main Android device and export your contacts to storage, this will make a vcf file on the Android device containing all of the data for each person (minus the account it's associated with)
On the android device(s) go to settings - applications - contacts storage and clear data- (remember to do this for all android device syncing to google)
load gmail in your web browser on your PC, go to contacts, select them all and delete them.
Now go back into People on the Android device and import the data you saved to your storage.
You will now see you have merged the data that was previously seperated by the gmail and haxsync accounts
Go back into settings on the Android device and re-enable sync for gmail.
Wait for this to finish.
once your device has synced with Google again go into gmail and select contacts
On the left of the page look under 'other contacts' select all of them and choose add to My Contacts.
Now go up to My Contacts and you can start sorting everyone into different groups again if you wish.
Now you have synced both gmail and Facebook information into your gmail account which will flow down to any other Android devices you have.
If you add more people on Facebook and want their data in gmail, you'd have to repeat this process again.
If you decide to re-enable Haxsync again you may need to manually join some of your contacts in your phone again, such as where friends also have Google+ and Facebook accounts under different names.
It's not perfect but if you have 100's of contacts / friends it saves a lot of manual data entry saving everything into gmail.
Good luck and have fun.

[Q] Calendar Sync Error, not the usual one.

When I sync my google account it says sync error with the red symbol,BUT it does in fact sync everything and I have all my contacts and apps and stuff.
All of the sync arrow cycles seems to go through, next to the check boxes, they're all fine EXCEPT, there is no option for "Sync Google Calendar" ... This is where my issue differs from ones I've seen.
YES I've tried removing and re-adding account, Re-installing Google Calendar AND making a new account and syncing that, new accounts made ALSO don't show "Sync Google Calendar".
With the chrome webapp for Google Calendar it does infact sync everything and that works through Chrome in that tiny interface. I also have all my desktop chrome bookmarks via the 2 step verification in chrome.
So my only issues are, the red error for Sync Google account and nothing showing for Google Calendar app.
When I click "Calendars to Sync" it just stays blank and loads forever, and I KNOW I have Calendars to sync since they DO show up on the webapp.
Error says:
"Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly"
Please Help.
