I faced the same problem. I'm doing the research now. If you have found how to do it, please provide this info. I'd be very greatfull.
I also wanted to know, what exactly way do you create custom account? As i understood account creation currently *requires* a developer to implement a service that extends AbstractThreadedSyncAdapter and publishes the correct intent in its manifest. When this is not the case, the "Accounts & Sync" settings does not handle the case where this is not defined and causes the NPE in the core process that causes the reboot. It is recommended that this defect be patch and/or the documentation updated to include the proper procedures and requirements for creation of an account in Android. Also account creation requires of the authenticator to be implemented for the account type. In order to be an authenticator developer must extend AbstractAccountAuthenticator class, provider implementations for the abstract methods and write a service that returns implemented AccountAuthenticator. Or there is more simple way to create a custom account for Contacts?
