I thought you were at the beginning of a new project. If you are still in development, and don't have data in your database that you care about yet, adding AUTH_USER_MODEL is simple: drop your database, delete all your migrations, re-create all your initial migrations, and run them on a brand new database. > I will still try to get it to work somehow.

That would be an ambitious claim to make :-) Since migrations are new in 1.7, anything from an earlier version relating to database creation or modification (syncdb, migrate, etc) is no longer accurate.
