I have successfully installed SFOS 3.2.0.12 on my Nexus 5. There is only one major thing that is keeping me from using it as a daily driver. I can't get Google to sync with the phone at all. In fact, I can't add Google to the phone. I can add an email address, and I can download my contacts.vcf, but when I get to the login page when adding a Google account I get a screen that says to input the code (A really really long one) into the application. I haven't seen where to input that code, and it certainly doesn't look like everyone else's where you move on after logging in and setup what you want to sync.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I have not tried to sync calendars or contacts, maybe that is possible. Or maybe it was just google changed something on their side and it isn't so straight forward anymore. As on Nexus 5 we do not have android support I have a feeling that syncing with google is not as easy as on Android. But maybe I am wrong.

If this is stopping you to use the Nexus 5 with Sailfish OS as daily driver, you can purchase an officially supported device with Android support or just live without the constant syncing on your Nexus.
I personally don't have problem with only syncing the emails in every hour or so and if I need, add a new contact or calendar entry manually. This is a fair price for getting a little privacy and not having a phone that is constantly beeping and flashing because of a 'very important' notification.

Hello,
The new release 3.2.1.20 may will fix this issue.
This is what I found in the release notes:
"2019-12-16: 3.2.1.20 was released to Early Access subscribers. Signing in to Google accounts fixed."

Once this release is available for Nexus too, you can try and confirm.
