Can't log in to google account already added in system settings.

[ghost]

Apps such as chrome and calendar try to log me in, but if I put in my credentials it will say that the account is already on the device, and there is no option to select an account already on the device.

You need to grant contacts permission manually to Google apps (via system settings) so that they can see the account.

Already granted all permissions to AOSP calendar and Etar, no change

Ah. microG does not provide contact/calendar data to the relevant system services. If you want to use your Google calendar/contacts, read about it in #222, if you want to use offline or CalDAV calendars, there are separate apps for this in F-Droid.

Ok thanks. Where can I get the GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk?

@mirh: Probably you have missed something (it is easy to miss something by installing it manually) but you could try to use my installers (microG unofficial installer and Google Sync Add-on) that setup everything automatically.

[mirh]

Microg self-check gave me ok to everything but unifiednlp (fairly since I hadn't installed it)
Then, I guess like google sync add-on could help in this regard, but it definitively isn't going to work on ics.

[ale5000-git]

microG unofficial installer should already support ICS (I haven't tested it but it should work) and setup everything including UnifiedNlp.

About Google Sync Add-on: unfortunately now I can't try ICS (because I don't have any device with it) but if I find an emulator with it then I can discover the problem and fix it.

I had this exact problem and I had fixed it by pushing a contacts-calenderssync.xml file (you may find a similar file) and pushing it to system/etc/permissions
