Gmscore: Gmail with GmsCore ?

[breversa]

Has anyone managed to make Gmail work with GmsCore ?

I can download and install the app ; upon launch, I'm asked about my email and password, but then get stuck on a waiting screen, before being sent back to the email input screen.

Similar problem. Here's logcat from when it gives up (it stalls at 'Your device is contacting Google to save information to your account' but the title of the card changes to 'Sorry'). There's some other noise in this log but I'm not entirely sure what's related and what isn't.

I've also tried rebooting the device in the theory that a previous signon (for Ingress) caused the issue.

After some binary searching, I've determined that the highest version of GMail that works (either because it doesn't use google play services or because microg works for it) is 5.4. You can get it here:
http://www.oldversion.com/android/com-google-android-gm-5-4-97372923-release-54000876

[georgedorn]

Note that in 5.4, I saw the odd behavior where my account showed up on the 'Add an email address' screen after a few seconds of waiting. I had logged in successfully with 5.0 and during the binary search installed working and non-working versions, but all of them took a while to find the successfully-logged-in from prior attempts.

[mar-v-in]

If you have problems with logging in on Android 6.0, it might be because of missing contacts permission. I was able to run GMail 6.6 fine.

1. Create a Google account from system settings -> accounts (if not already done).
2. Install GMail
3. On Android 6.0: Open App settings and grant contacts and Google Mail permission (under additional permissions) to GMail
4. Open GMail and skip the intro if necassary. Do not add any account
5. Open system settings -> accounts -> Google -> your google account and check if there is a GMail present. Disable (if enabled) and enable it. It should take a short time to sync mails and then display current time as "last synced".
6. If there are new mails in you GMail account there should already be
7. Open GMail app again. If it is still on the "add account" screen, touch the "continue to gmail" (or sth like that) button at the bottom.
8. You should see your GMail.

[georgedorn]

1. Open system settings -> accounts -> Google -> your google account and check if there is a GMail present. Disable (if enabled) and enable it. It should take a short time to sync mails and then display current time as "last synced".

I have a Google account and a Google Play Account showing up in the account settings (also a Signal account). There's no GMail account, nor a way to disable/enable anything either in the Accounts menu nor the Google account screen. It does show the current time as last synced when I forcefully sync.

Edit: Ah, I see. The UX doesn't do much to hint that in addition to the switch, you can also tap on the [email protected] account for more options. It is reporting 'Syncing now...' and then flashing to "Last synced xxxx" and then back to "Syncing now..." over and over.

1. Open GMail app again. If it is still on the "add account" screen, touch the "continue to gmail" (or sth like that) button at the bottom.

At this stage, with GMail 6.0 (really, 5.5 or above), the GMail account does not show up on the "add account" screen and it refuses to move past the screen without adding one. Re-re-re-adding the gmail account yields the error log above.

Edit: Despite successfully toggling my google account as requested and forcing it to sync, it still does not show up in the account selection screen. Amusingly, it is aware that I have email - I got a notification for new mail, but trying to access it is interrupted by the "add an account" screen.

[EleutheriusBliss]

Mine works ok. Did not login from the app, just installed it, set the right permissions, opened it, then rebooted. It picked up Microg-Google account on its own. International S5, android 6.0.1.

[Lanchon]

i followed the instructions, but didn't work. when i enabled sync on Gmail, sync failed and said "there is a problem with sync" or something of the sort.

to fix the issue you need to enable "Trust Google for app permissions" in google account's sign-in and security.

[lbdroid]

Isn't it contrary to the objective here to intentionally run google-branded software when you don't have to? You can configure your gmail account for IMAP+SMTP and use any IMAP client, like k9mail.

[georgedorn]

No, the objective is to avoid running Google Play Services, not all Google
software. The latter may be the objective of some users, but there are a
lot of Google apps. A year ago, would you have suggested that Ingress
users should avoid playing the game because Niantic was under the Google
umbrella?

What's the point? Either you trust Google, or you don't.
If you do, then you can run google services and gmail.
If you don't, then you can run neither.

[mar-v-in]

@lbdroid there are numerous reasons to use microG besides not trusting Google. Please keep this discussion of the issue, as it's not related.

[breversa]

@mar-v-in :
You 2016-07-14 solution did the trick for Lineage for MicroG 14.1/Android 7.1.2 as well.

Thanks a lot ! I can close this issue now. :-)

[breversa]

The above solution stopped working for a time, but as of microG Services Core 0.2.7.17455-65-mapbox, it works again. Thanks for the continuous support !! :+1:
