Unable to add google account

I am unable to add my google account under settings -> Accounts. The app just freezes.

Nexus 5 - Copperhead Os version MMB29V.2016.03.07.22.19.43

Going to need logs from adb logcat. I assume you have gapps sideloaded? Since that doesn't seem to show up as an option without it. I suspect that it's just a regular gapps issue rather than a CopperheadOS issue but need logs to determine that.

And could you be more specific about when it crashes?

@thestinger Yes it was due to gapps, and unfortunately I won't be able to provide a log because they made OS unusable so I had to re-install. These gapps were not sideload, most of them can be installed directly from an their APK (Sideloaded Gapps (from OpenGapps) don't seem to be compatible with copperhead). I installed Google Play Services and Google Play Store, Google Play Services seemed to work but the Play Store kept crashing. I thought that signing into my google account from the preferences would help, but as mentionnned in the original post, the settings' app just froze. I wish I could provide more details, let me know if you guys have any question. Copperhead is really cool and better support of Gapps would make it a top notch custom ROM so anything I can do to help, let me know.

OpenGapps is no less compatible with CopperheadOS than it is with other AOSP-based ROMs like CyanogenMod without hard-wired hacks to work around the issues with it. At least, I'm not aware of any compatibility issues with CopperheadOS that would not happen with AOSP and I don't think this is one. It's not officially supported so it's up to you to cope with the pain of using it: you need to manually toggle on a bunch of dynamic permissions and you can't use over-the-air updates. You need to sideload each update and then sideload gapps again.

It can never be supported well. It must be bundled for it to be compatible with verified boot and updates. It also has to be built-in to the OS to avoid these permission issues. None of that can happen due to the licensing.

Installing the individual apps won't work since they depend on Play Services and many need to have platform privileges.
