Google contact sync is already baked in the rom. You probably need to do it all over again since the framework and sync adaptor probably got messed up.
If you have the china version,
factory reset the phone,
go into app gallery,
change country to China,
Search for Google Play Store
Google Play store will have an Update status, click it
After updated, click open and the usual setup will start
After that, you should have contact already synced.
Worked thanks this phone rocks now!!!
Glad that it worked!
So is it the Cina version? if yes, are you facing any problems because of that?

No need to factory reset. All I did was install the Google Contact Sync v 9 from apkmirror then reisntalled the Contacts app... and voila!... it had the option to choose an account from the hamburger menu.

I did this and it worked perfectly without resetting anything!
Found an easy solution at 4pda to enable contact sync on Chinese Mate20x, without resetting your phone:
1) uninstall Play Store
2) download Play Store from apkmirror
3) install
4) sync will work right away
Hope this helps someone

Seeing you mention the bloatware
Is there an updated guide for bloatware removal. Most of the guides that I have found have either a safe to remove, unknown, or not safe. Also, alot of the files are either no longer there, not listed at all, or the names have changed drastically or status has changed( unsafe to safe mostly)

Is the option there? Sometimes it takes a few hours to sync the contact pix.

The sns*.apks may have been removed from your ROM.
If that is the case, you won't be able to add a Facebook account in the accounts and sync settings.

Ah, thanks Nube. OP, let me know if you need any of those files.
Title says it all! Some 'friends' installed some inappropriate apps on my phone and while I uninstalled them, they still remain under My Apps - All.
Any ideas? I'm worried that since this is stored on google's side this will be marring my account forever and I would prefer it not to. Searches have led me nowhere.

Deleting apps from My Apps/My Orders
At this time, there is no way to delete records of old apps either on the Google Play website (play.google.com) or from the My Apps section of the Google Play Store app.
We know that some users are looking for a way to delete old apps from Google Play, and we'll certainly take this into account as we work to improve the Google Play experience in the future.

In Short, you're stuck with it, short of making a new google account and re-buying everything there.
PS: That was item #2 in a google search for : google play remove app from my apps
Haha okay thanks. It's all about how you word your searches, I guess. My searches were closer to the thread title.

Note that I've seen.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2
SOLUTION: remove old uninstalled apps from your Play list
Even though on Google support page the answer is that it still cannot be done I have just done it on my phone.
The Play version that I have is 3.9.16, for Jelly Bean and I'm running CM10 on SGS3.
You need to go to the Play-> all apps and the uninstalled ones have a mark on the right. now you hold the app for a while and it becomes 'marked'.
Marking additional apps is done by short press. when you've all the ones you want to remove from the list in top right corner there's 'remove' button. Press out and voila, your Play list is cleaned up.
Here's a link to download

Hey guys, I assumed that with the Lollipop update, I would be able to add my exchange account to GMail as I did on my Nexus 5.
Is it normal that this option is not available?
Thanks

I assumed that was the problem because I can't find "Google Exchange Services" in my apps section but I can't find it in the playstore either. Should I bee looking somewhere else?

Try updating the app to the most recent version.
Hit the three bars in the top right.
Hit the down arrow on your account.
Hit Add account.
Try selecting personal.
The personal option allowed me to add yahoo to gmail without any additional setup. I'm assuming it'll work the same with an exchange account because it does all the server adjustments and whatnot.
If you already tried this, I'm sorry I couldn't help any more!
hi guys
I got my phone yesterday from giztop.com
apparently its the Chinese version
when I download the GMS core app from various links on google , during the initial run it tells me some google services need to be uninstalled specifically GOOGLE PLAY SERVICE UPDATER but it cannot be uninstalled no matter how many times the pop up tries to uninstall it
even from apps manager from setting I can stop it from running but am unable to uninstall it
can any one who has faced this issue help me out ?
thanks
Google play store was not visible on my AL00 at first. I went to app gallery and it had an option to update it.(not recommended ) it said. After I updated it showed up on the phone.
Just update it on the app gallery all Google stuff are built in you only have to download google calendar sync

I had faced the same problem
I had the same problem in my Huawei Mate 20 Chinese Phone. Solved it by changing the language to Chinese through App Gallery and thereafter searching for and installing Google Play. It really worked fine.

How were you able to do the search in the App Gallery if the language was Chinese?
mate 20x 8gb, 256gb evr-l00
I have the evr-l00...
followed this instruction, changed the app gallery to china (region), even if the whole thing is in chinese, type in "Google Play" in the search box on the top of the page, hit enter, and there came Google Play Store.
Installed it... removed most of the chinese apps, installed all useful google apps, and that's it, viola!
still working perfectly up to now.
my only gripe with the chinese version (when used elsewhere, except china)... is that u will not be able to fully configure the mobile data limits as the 'region' and 'network providers' are all in chinese, for China-based networks.

My Redmi Note8T doesn't synchronize my contacts to the Google cloud.
As contra measures to excessive advertising I deleteded all system updates and didn't create a Miui account.
The latter I read could be the cause for my contacts not to sync into the Google cloud. I have tried to work around that by installing the Google contact synchronisation app from the Google Play Store but it didn't download at all. So I tried APKMirror where the app was available in several 6+ and 10 versions with nothing in between to match P9 (according to Droid info my system software at hand).
I chose the latest 6+ version but cannot locate the executed app nor do the contacts sync with Google now …
Thanks so much for Your help.

Regards the ads, you have in settings on every app (or almost) the ads/personalize ads to choose from showing or not.
Regards the contacts issue, enter to /Settings/Google/Settings for Google app/Google Contacts sync and check that all is correct there.

Unfortunately I have neither succeeded in even finding possibilities to personalize apps like contacts, calendar, file-management, playstore that all showed advertisements before deleting their updates nor could I find anything wrong with the settings for Google sync …

When you face the first setup, you have to see from the 5 items (all checked) at least 3 items related with ads, you have to uncheck. After that, take for example the Miui Music app, from the settings you can find an option to disable ads, the same happens with the Miui Files and so on. When I spend the time waiting to unlock bootloader always I do that, and I don't have annoying ads disturbing me all the time, we have to get apart from that, browser behavior, it's a different thing, some ads don't rely on Xiaomi itself, TBH.
Actually I'm running a custom ROM based on AOSP, but in the path that I gave you can see, the number of contacts that's synchronized, I have to guess that you're doing something wrong, can you share some screenshot from this path? To see what's saying.
