Could you upload an apk? Is it just the apk or are there any other tweaks you did?

Here is an arm 64 bit version for our Honor 8's. Let us all know how it goes.
Update: Too large to upload. So here is the link from apkmirror. Of course, one uses at their own risk.
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...p-6-13-5-16-alpha-arm64-android-apk-download/

How in the world did you get that working? Installing this apk just updates the version of the Google app I had.. I don't have any personalization in the settings window.

Nothing changed for me. Maybe it's because I have UK English or something else, but I'm running Nougat on my Honor 8, so not sure what else it could be.
Changed to US English and cleared the local data cache. Made no difference...
Any ideas?

Yes, very interesting.
I tried installing that too, but didn't work for me.
I think people are trying to figure out what triggers it. Could be location, language, some combination of settings, or some lucky number in the IMEI.
But hey, that's cool, enjoy it.
Hopefully it will roll out to everyone soon.

Still nothing on mine. Have tried all sorts.
Has anyone else gotten this to work by installing the Google Alpha that was linked? If so, what did you do to get it working?

Nothing for me
Which model did you have ? pixel launcher?

Common sense that, this kind of apk need to be install in system app folder to make it work.

FRD-L09C432B360 (UK phone), and I'm running Action Launcher 3. However, I did install the latest release of Pixel Launcher, in case it's tied into that, but didn't make any difference.

Letv Max 2 Stock Apps

It seems most resellers are removing all stock Letv apps and are gimping the device capabilities in the process.
I don't want to have to wipe the device and flash a new firmware just to get a couple apps that are missing.
Without the Letv Music app the USB c headphones are useless
Is there any way I can install just the apps I need on this without flashing a new firmware ?
Let me know your ideas , I could really use the help.

I did try, extracted apps from both from chinese 5.9.23s and indian 5.8.21s but they didn't work. Currently searching for a way to make them work on lineage. I'm not proficient with tweaking with this stuff so I would appreciate if someone could figure out how to do this.

The remote control app is integrated in some roms. Slim and my rom (based on slim) have it. But for the others there isn't any mod or something (at least from what I know)

chinese honor v9 : how can I add google services ?

hello,
I bought the honor v9 in Macau last week. It is beautiful, but useless as google services are not available, so currently all I can do is use it as a paperweight
Is there a way I can add google account info, play store and services, or is there maybe a standard android rom I could use ?
I've tried adding the corresponding apks to no avail.
regards,
nicolas

Just type Google to hiapp and download the playstore.
Also you must download contacts and calendar sync and give all the permissions.
Google Play Store doesn't work
Thanks for your reply, I've tried that after a factory reset but it doesn't work. The play store doesn't start, it opens but stays blank, can only see it when i press the open applications button.
Previously i had tried to duplicate my honor 8 using huawei's clonephone app, everything (all apps) was transferred but no Google app works. I think it is because Google Play services is missing, and I can't find it on hiapp (and google doesn't show the honor v9 in my list of phones so i can't do it online).
Previously i had also used apks to install the whole suite in the right order, same problem every time. Some apps open but entering my Google id is always impossible.
I guess I should root the phone to install gapps, but given that it is very recent i haven't found and instructions to root this model.
I'm running out of ideas
Looks like that you shouldn't buy phone in China, if you want to use google services. Maybe you can download google play apk from apkmirror.com, for example and then install it from sd card?
Go to the Hiapp download GMSinstaller (will uninstall all google service instances and reboot). After that download playstore for the hiapp market and you are good to go.

Maybe you can install Google with Google installer for the Xiaomi device I think that might work
Very hard...haha, you open hiapp, install gms, open it, auto reoot, after you open hiapp again and install google play store, open it, done.
you can try GMSInstaller it works for me just fine
I guess Huawei started the confusion through removing the gmsinstaller app from the store. Here is a link from the Mate 9 Forum! Works perfectly on the V9
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B64ADSfC5LHbMHdlZ2ZONVhXVWM/view
I've had this phone for a few days, loving it, but even with the help above to get Google services, Im having real issues with syncing, Google play store having problems authenticating me etc etc...I've removed and added my Gmail account 20 times already but still a struggle. Any help on that would be awesome? And as a bonus if anyone knows how to stop Hivoice hijacking Google assistant as the 'assist' app that'd be awesome too
Thanks in advance of any help
Here one , it works great for me

Just done the October security patch update on mine and Google Assistant and long home press to launch is still working fine.
Try going in and switching off google assistant and then turning it back on may help.

How do you do that? Sorry to ask such a basic question, but the only way I know how to do that is through Google Now settings, and the menu item that I'm thinking should be there ('Google Assistant') isn't.

What's your root method? This happened to me once before also. I was rooted with Magisk so I installed the add GA module. Quick and easy and it was back. If you are rooted with SuperSU then I would recommend uninstalling it with the uninstaller zip found in the SU thread. Alternatively you can install Magisk over the top of it but all the features like Magisk hide may not work. Another option would be to flash a different Rom. Nitrogen and Cortex are both good options and GA should work by default.

Rom Toolbox may be running into a conflict with the Pixel Launcher you flashed. I have a similar root and pixel launcher setup minus fonts and other customizations and my shortcut to RT widgets is broken as it will not create the shortcut on the home screen. I haven't had the time to investigate, but it isn't a high priority for me.
Have you tried a clean flash of the October rom?
- Wipe data/dalvik/cache
- flash your various stock rom images (bootloader, radio, boot, system, vendor)
- flash your root method
- flash pixel launcher and reboot into system.
- Setup phone, G Assist, etc.
- Install Rom Toolbox and desired mods
Lengthy process, but it may be worthwhile to contact JRummy, the author of the Pixel launcher, and sending various logs for analysis and help...

I use Chainfire's systemless root method. I've had GA with this root method before... I'll research Magisk (I've read a little about it, but not enough to be comfortable to jump into it yet) if I'm not able to find another solution. Thank you for your suggestion.

I got this same problem, any solution?
Edit: nevermind, I found the solution
When I encountered the problem, I crawled over many forums and after some time, I founded the Reason
Google app should be a System app so Access with Voice match can work
If you are facing the problem you must be on a custom ROM with Pico Gapps installed. If yes, the Pico GApps package doesn’t include Google app so it will not be installed as a System app.
If your smartphone is old and came with the Older Android versions then the chances are that Google app didn’t came as System app by default.

Yes for sure. You have just to search it on xda. There is a version that works on almost all the devices

I'm using the Google Phone app downloaded from the play store. If you are rooted you can install Google Dialer Framework using Magisk and it should let you download the app. I had to clear data for Google Play Services and reboot a couple of times first but no problems after that.
I am not rooted, noted.
Thanks.
The Nord device has the stock dialer, anyone know if that will or can be installed on the 8 pro?
