YMMV

Does this let you sign out of google play?

looks just like my Galaxy S III Settings
Many items don't work. But at least it doesn't Force close. It just toasts a message that "Feature not Supported". Testing on ggow's CM12.1.

[Q] multiple accounts on a Transformer/Honeycomb 3.0

I Am about to receive my transformer, and inevitably my wife will want to use it too
Is there an effective way to have two gmail accounts set up on a Honeycomb tablet so you can switch users easily? I understand that both email accounts can be set up in the Gmail app, but I am more interested in all of the other GIntegration on the tablet (apps from market, calendaring, logins to other apps/accounts we both have eg twitter).
You can use both google accounts in just about everything (incl. the Market), but it doesn't have any way to handle separate users in other apps.
I have bought a Transformer that I am going to give to my wife when I have goten the sleeve.
I have tryed to optimise it and during that prosess I have purchased some applications, when I was going to buy the apps I added my own Google account (due to the fact that I thought card information got stoored along with the Google account on Android Market)
But now when I see under "My Apps" some are stored under my acount and some are stored under her account.
When I give the TF to her I will remove my account form the unit, what will then happen to the apps that are listed under my account in "My Apps"?
Thinking, will they be uninstalled, will they be transfered to her account so that she get notifications regarding updates and so on?
To keep it abit more clean I like to separate questions into different posts (Mod can merge posts if this is not accepted)
I got both my wife's and mie google account added to the TF (for the time being (see post #3)
Google Maps is a standard app that comes with the TF, on her account (in My Apps on the TF) it shows as "Installed", in my account (My Apps on the TF) it shows as "Not installed"
When trying to install it it jumps to the top of the list under "Downloading..." for a brief second before it jumpes down again under "Not installed"
Thumb Keyboard is allso listed under "Not installed" in on my account (My Apps on the TF), this one is not showing up in her "My Apps" and the same thing happens if I try to install this one as happens with the app above.
Another thing that is wierd is that some of the apps have disapared from the "My Apps" on the Transformer, but they do show on our accounts when logged inn on Android Market on the web.
On the Transformer this is showing under our "My Apps":

Flash Player 10.3

Google Maps
My account on the TF

While if I log on to Android Market the following apps is shown when I go to My Android Market-account

I've done this on my xoom at work (So I could get my spectral souls and thumb keyboard on it). When you remove the account, the apps are NOT uninstalled its only you can't upgrade them anymore. They do not show up in the "My Apps" section, so to update you either have to re-add an account that has it purchased or purchase it with the account on the device.
Thanks for Your answer.
I will just have to check if an update is needed every now and then.
If I understand You correctly then if an app is not in the "My Apps" section (assuming we are talking about the section on Transformer itselfe) then we will not get an notification that there are new updates for that app.
Why have several of the apps I have installed disapared from the "My Apps" section? As one can see from the listing in my post above when I go tot he website version of Android Market more apps are showing there
Allso I have NVIDIA Tegra Zone installed but that dont show in "My Apps" or in the web version of the market. But I find it if I go to "Apps" in the top right and then go to [My apps] (Not to be mistaken for the "My Apps" that is located in the top right screen of Android Market when accessing it via the TF)

[Q] Rooted Kindle w/ Go Launcher vs. Cyanogen

Ok, I've rooted my Fire and installed the Android Market. I've installed Go Launcher, so I have the ability to use the Fire as the "Android Experience" I'm used to with other devices I have.
So what's the benefit of continuing on with installing CM7?
It seems that by installing CM7, I lose out on the Amazon services that I would still like to use. True?
One problem I had with stock roms, is Google apps. For example, I could easy enough install Android Market, Gmail, etc... But gmail would not give me notifications of new email. Maybe because I could not enable it to "sync" because the settings area is different then normal android. (Account & Sync missing)
on the stock rom we can use "any cut" from the market - in any cut select "new shortcut" -> "activity" -> "account & sync"
then you have a shortcut to account & sync on the desktop
you can try even more activities - they are nearly all there but not displayed in settings !
Another way on the stock rom is to install ICS launcher and add power widget. There you have wifi control screen brightness and sync.

You have the sync adapter correctly setup?

Disable N7 from offering to log me into every Google webpage

Is there a way to disable the N7 from logging me in and offering to log me in to every Google re-seed webpage and service? I like to share my N7, but I don't like that if you open Chrome to Gmail.com, it will log into the Gmail service automatically or offer to do so. I can use a security app like App Protector to lock down the Gmail APP, but I don't want to disable Chrome entirely. I just don't want people to be able to use Chrome on the N7 to be able to log into Gmail, G+, etc.
How can I do this?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
UPDATE: Better, but still no solution.
I found that Chrome has a settings (tap menu, then Settings, then tap your email address listed at the top of the menu immediately below "Basics"). There you will find an option called "Auto sign-in (sign into to Google sites automatically)." By un-ticking this box, it no longer offer to log me into Gmail, merely because I visit gmail.com (or mail.google.com).
This is only partially helpful. Anyone who knows this can simply open the settings and tick the box and then get into my Gmail. The solution is to password-protect the Settings menu in Chrome. Devs, I'd pay for that.

Delete option missing on Tab 4 in Settings > General > Accounts

I purchased a Galaxy Tab 4 (w/10 in screen) quite awhile back from Barnes and Noble for my wife. I recently created a 2nd user account for myself to use the tablet as well. I have found that I'm unable to delete any accounts that get saved under "My accounts". This includes Yahoo & Yandex email apps, google account (I want to keep this account but verified the delete option is not available), Firefox account, etc.
I've unsuccessfully tried 3 things to remove these accounts:
1) I can't find an option looking in the individual apps to delete the accounts.
2) A google search found several sources which indicate that Settings > General > Accounts should have an option at the bottom of the screen to delete these accounts when you select each account individually. That option is NOT available on for my user ID or my wife's user ID (which I checked to see if it may be different).
3) I also tried going to Settings > General > Application Manager, selecting individual apps and clicking the "Clear Cache" and "Clear Data" buttons. This does NOT remove the account either- just the app data which is then reloaded when the app is opened.
If possible, I don't want to delete my user account and have to start over installing apps, restoring files, etc. I've reached the extent of my abilities in troubleshooting this. Any suggestions would be appreciated on successfully deleting these accounts for my userID. Below are the technical details for our tablet. Please let me know if any additional data or screen prints would be helpful. Regards.

Can't edit or delete subscribed calendars because there's no "accounts" in settings

Can't edit or delete subscribed calendars because there's no "accounts" in settings
I have the Fire HD8 8th gen Kindle. Running stock Fire OS 6.3.0.1
I do have the Google Play Store and Services added, and running the Launcher Hijack to use the Nova Launcher. But my question is about something else.
I am running the BlackBerry Hub+ Suite for Android, or some of them - the email Inbox, Calendar, Contacts and Notes. Running those includes running the Hub+ Services app which handles all the account syncing with the apps. I'm running all these same apps on my Galaxy S9, which leads to my question about the Fire tablet.
I have several subscribed online calendars that I added on the tablet, and on the S9. They are game schedules for LSU football and baseball games that I have syncing to the calendar apps on both devices. I can add them using the subscribed calendar options within the BB Calendar app. They are then in the system and I can even include those calendar accounts in my Simple Calendar Widget app to show on the Nova Launcher home screen. The problem is that while the account can be added from the calendar app, it does not manage them afterward. Not in the way that the Inbox app manages email accounts, including EAS accounts with their own calendars.
Under normal android, there is an "Accounts" section in settings. I have this on my S9. Also on my old Kindle Fire 1st gen that I rooted and installed the SlimLP (Lollipop) Rom on. But the Fire OS has no such section in Settings. There is a "My Account" section, but that only leads you to the Amazon account settings page. There is no overall list of accounts that can be accessed in the Fire OS. So, I can't change or delete the subscribed calendar. LSU only adds each new season with a new year in the address, so you have to change the address for each new season, or in the case of the HD8, I have to add a new calendar account and just disable the view of the previous season since I can change or delete it like I can on the S9.
All this leads to question, is there an app that I can install that will give me that same access to all syncing accounts that the "Accounts" section in Settings would normally give me? I've searched Google Play store, but can't seem to find the right thing. iCalSync is close. It can create and add the same kind of subscribed calendar account, and edit or delete it later, but it can't see existing accounts created outside of that app.
Is there anything out there that can do what I'm asking?
I really don't want to root the HD8 - just yet. Maybe when I replace it, but not now.
I had the same issue. You can use ADB or download an "activity launcher" app to launch the "com.android.settings.Settings$UserAndAccountDashboardActivity" from the Settings app. When using ADB, make sure to escape the dollar sign:
Code:
adb shell am start -n 'com.android.settings/.Settings\$UserAndAccountDashboardActivity'

Well, the adb command didn't work, but the "activity launcher" suggestion did. I found the sub section of Settings that had the User Accounts, and it all showed up. I was able to delete the problem accounts.
Thanks.
Can you install the Google Contacts Sync and Calendar Sync, version is 7.1.2 in Android Version
