chinese honor v9 : how can I add google services ? - Honor V9 Questions & Answers

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
add the h t t p thing first .

It will work but keep in mind if you do full update you need to install GMSinstaller again which it need to remove all current google app then facilitate google service after that you need to install software again!

Getting Google Play Store on international Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (China)

Hello. I just got the China version of Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N9100).
It doesn't come with a Google Play store. How do I go about installing the Google Play Store?
I downloaded the 5.0.32 version apk of Google Play store, and I installed it.
But when I run it, it closes or crashes. I found that apk by searching these forums.
So I was wondering if I needed to do something to make it work?
For HTC One I simply looked up Google gms in the HTC Marketplace and installed it, which ended up adding all of the Google stuff (including Google Play).
The Note 4 phone comes with a Galaxy Apps, but searching inside it does not have a Google Play installer (nor Google gms equivalent).
So my question is:
Do I need to root my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 in order to get Google Play to run? It currently closes or crashes when I try to run it.
Did I install an incompatible apk for my Samsung Galaxy Note 4?
Again I am referring to the China version of Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N9100 model)
Hi, I have the same problem also. SM-N9100 does not support google play store, youtube, etc. I guess all china andriod phones is banned from access these apps. The only way out is to install another rom. Please let me know if a suitable rom is available. Thanks.
Samsung N9100
hi all,
In have the same issue. I rooted my N9100 and installed Google play services, google services framework onto the system / app folder. Changed the file permission to a system app but still wasn't able to get it running. There's an error that says the Google services framework can't be run. Maybe I install a wrong version ? Anyone can shed some light and point me to the right apk ?
There are two ways to do it
Method 1) Typical GMS pack includes a lot of junk/google bloatware:
  1、GenieWidget.apk
  2、GoogleBackupTransport.apk
  3、Gmail.apk
  4、GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk
  5、GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
  6、GoogleFeedback.apk
  7、GooglePartnerSetup.apk
  8、GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
  9、GoogleServicesFramework.apk
  10、LatinIMETutorial.apk
  11、Maps.apk
  12、MarketUpdater.apk
  13、MediaUploader.apk
  14、NetworkLocation.apk
  15、SetupWizard.apk
  16、Street.apk
  17、Talk.apk
  18、Vending.apk
  19、VoiceSearch.apk
  20、YouTube.apk
so install only the apks that you need
These apks below are required in order for Play to work:
GoogleBackupTransport.apk
GoogleFeedback.apk
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
MarketUpdater.apk
Talk.apk
Vending.apk
Copy com.android.vending.apk from \data\app to \system\app\, then turn on “Owner, Group, Other" permissions for it
Method 2)
Go to http://dl.pconline.com.cn/download/86344.html and download a auto install pack
Note:
I have not tested both methods!!
You CANNOT uninstall google framework and other bloatware once gms is installed
If you live in China and don't have VPN, don't even bother with since its all blocked
No success with Method 2 on the Note 4 (9106w). It installed it but I kept getting a Google Frameworks Stopped working error. I was able to log into my Google Account and open the Play Store but could not get a network connection. In the end I disabled Google Frameworks.
Will try to flash TWRB with Odin tomorrow.

I downloaded a 44+ mb file. After unzipping it on my phone I saw a folder with many files. Did you move all the files into similar folders on your phone? I installed the apk packages and regretted it. No success so I imagine I should be using adb to push them to the proper folders.
Any hints would be helpful.
Hi,
Can I check with Samsung note 4 you tried on ? I am using N9100 rooted and just tried the link you provided i.e. V1.5. I installed it, followed the screen instructions and the phone rebooted. Upon reboot an update was run. Unfortunately, Google frame work services and stopped. No luck. I wonder was is the issue.

Hi,
Can I check with you which Samsung note 4 model do you have and worked ? I am using Samsung Note 4 model N9100 (rooted) and just tried the link you provided i.e. V1.5. I installed it, followed the screen instructions and the phone rebooted. Upon reboot an update was run. Unfortunately, I got the "Google frame work services and stopped". No luck. I wonder what is the issue ? I check the file permissions of the Google Services Framework and it was consistent with the rest of the apk files in system/app
I got the same problem. After rooting and install V1.5, I can install and open the google playstore. But there are nothing in the playstore..except retry icon.
I flashed banks core gapps and have no problem at all. Banks core gapps also help me save a bit of battery because it install non of bloats

Hi All, maybe the material in below site can helps.... if you uderstand Chinese.....

Few questions about future software updates (Lollipop) since I've been away from Samsung for a while:
1. Rooting will trip Knox, right?
2. If yes, OTA updates won't work - would I still be able to flash via Odin or CWM?
Not sure if I will definitely root yet due to warranty issues so soon after buying.
As noted above, Google stuff here is a pain at times even with a VPN (location options don't work so Google Now is less useful).
Plus, I've become used to getting apps from the Samsung and Amazon stores instead.

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?

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.

Ok Google not work, Voice Match greyed out.

I'm using G9750 ASJU release, rooted with Magisk.
I checked that Ok Google cannot accept my voice, and then check in google assistant... Voice Match is greyed out.
Already using English US as language
Already set text to speech to Google
and Assistant to Google.
Wiped cache and dalvick too.
Reinstalling Google Search app.
Still cannot make it enable, still grey out.
Anyone can help with some infos ?
Hope can fix it by not re flashing the phone.
Thank You.

search with google, so many people have this issues and some fixes with set all language to English US or UK, but not solved for me.
So, right now, i live with that... using Bixby, until next update.

I am not sure if this will work, but when i had a Huawei Mate 20 pro this method was the only thing that got it working correctly.
Disable assistant

Update from playstore
Reboot
Retrain and set up assistant.
Fingers crossed for you.

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.

Language only english and china?
Installed it, nice!
I did it the not official way, installed the zip via local update.
Some apps not working, most of them do though.
Should I install gapps mini as recommended?
And uninstall play store? The official play store works fine.
What is the official way to install it? Via recovery I guess?
I will try that.
Thanks for the ROM!

No, no play store, I went to recovery after my dirty upgrade, it was all in Chinese, I clicked on something, I guess it was wipe and clear cache, every thing was gone, continued and had a clean install.
Deleted all the Chinese apps.
Downloaded play store apk, and now busy installing my apps.

This is H2OS which is China's version of OOS. It does not have gapps because Google isn't allowed in China. You'll have to sideload google services or as the other user said opengapps mini works.

Can you share the link to open gapps mini package and the steps you flashed? I've tried using micro/nano open gapps but the first boot after flashing takes very long time and no google stuff shows in the phone. I can just install google play apk but also want to have the sync feature.

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?
