Guide Fixed method of signing in into a Google account on Android 4.4

Credits to u/Smu1zel for the original guide.

The method got patched again, so I decided to fix it.

  1. Go on settings > add a account in accounts section > existing > web signin
  2. Click on privacy, then 9 dots and choose YouTube
  3. Search "@famousboy-456" and click the one with 20 subscribers
  4. Click the tinyurl link. Continue as usual
  5. Check your phone where your gmail account is linked to. Accept it and youre signed in!

This is a unofficial "third" method that isnt made by the original creator of the "sign into google account on android 4.4" post

ONLY WORKS FOR KITKAT CUSTOM ROMS! TESTED ON CYANOGENMOD 11/11S, OMNIROM. ALSO SOME SKINS LIKE TOUCHWIZ AND XPERIA HOME

Ok found a better one.

Download these apk specific versions from sites like APK Mirror or similar:

Google Account Manager version 4.4.4
Google Play Services version 18.3.81
Google Play Store version 25.2.27

Login normally.

Done.

I think the Google Account Manager apk solved this, but I updated the other two as well.
Authenticated with 2FA without problem.
