Google swrvices and purevpn - Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers

Dear all,
I just bought a Huawei Nova in Shanghai (chinese version). It has 5.1 emui. But no google services. Ive tried to download and install them and gave all permissions but still not able to start. Also i did install purevpn apk but it is frozen again at the beginning. It is about android 7? How can i solve this problem? Best,

Probably it's the same story as with Xiaomi phones with Chinese ROMs. Google is banned in China that's what you cannot use it. Try to find official international ROM for your device and flash it.

Hiapp has a modified google play and google play services. It worked on my device in China on EMUI 4. Not sure why the apk is force closing. Do they have options to set up the vpn manually?

hank you but i do not want to flash a rom. i found out that purevpn app is freezing when i was trying to start hiapp's google play. after removing it, it works but slow (nothing to do here). but still sad about google play and other google services part.

I now run LineageOS on my phone, so I have flashed GApps. Before that I was on EMUI 4 and it seemed fine with HIapps google. There is a free VPN called zerovpn and I got that to work in most places (again I am also in China).

Search an APK : Google Exchange

Hi,
I'm looking for that : "com.google.android.exchange-6.3-1218562.apk".
This is for my GS5 and i can't install it with the Google Play so if some one has it.
Thanks !
You didn't tell us why you can't install the app through the Google play store. If your Play store app is broken, you should remedy that first. If you are trying to install it onto an unsupported device, then you could download the Nexus firmware and extract the app from the firmware archive.
A simple Google search would also find copies, although it's a challenge to discern the integrity of an app from an unknown source.
.
Well...
My Google Play is fine, i don't know why i can't install this app, i'm on a TW GS5 in France and have the stock samsung email instead of it.
I searched on Google already but only found the com.google.android.email-6.3-1218562.apk, not the com.google.android.exchange-6.3-1218562.apk so i asked here.
Hope you can help me with this informations.
Thanks !

[Huawei p8] Google products not working

I got my Huawei p8 from china having base version GRA-UL10C00B230. I have noticed that Google play store and other google products will not work all of a sudden. On click of google play store, just it will flash and go off. I came across few posts on internet and followed the same which involves clearing cache, uninstalling google play services updates etc.. but still problem is not solved.
Is there any better solution for this problem or should i remove the base ROM and install global customization version? please suggest.
Once i tried to remove the current ROM but there was some rooting issues.
Kindly suggest.

{GIUDE} HYDROGEN OS 3.0 [Oneplus 3/3T] Installation/ Quick guide

An update to the H2OS out after a long time. The alternative ROM for the OnePlus devices is now updated to the version 3.0. The Hydrogen OS is mostly designed for the Chinese variants of the Oneplus devices. However, the H2OS 3.0 can also be installed on a regular or international variant of the OnePlus 3 and the OnePlus 3T. The ROM brings many new features.
As the Hydrogen OS is a firmware for the Chinese variant, it doesn’t come with the Google Apps pre-installed. You will need to install it separately. Fortunately, we already have a Google play store installed APK which can easily install the Google Play Services onto your Android device.

Will all the US bands be enabled with Hydrogen OS?
Hi, can anyone using a US OnePlus 3T confirm whether the US version of OnePlus 3T with Hydrogen OS will have the exact same bands enabled as the US version using Oxygen OS? I want to be as Google-free as possible and starting with a manufacturer-supported Google-free ROM like H2OS sounds like a good way to go.
I'm open to other ways to accomplish this but simpler is better for me. Finally moving away from Windows Phone, and yes I know, why would you want Android if you don't want Google? Answer, pathetically trying to cling to ownership of my personal data and can't afford the next best OEM privacy option, the iPhone (which isn't a great privacy option either). Thx!

I've been down this path too many times. It's doable but not easy. First, scrap H2OS since Playstore is preinstalled. I'd go with either a lineage based Rom or Freedom OS (OOS with the option to leave all google and OP Apps out on Installation). Just don't flash Gapps after the Rom.
But thats really the easy part. The hard part is the setup. First, you'd need to sideload at least a browser. Get the browser apk of your choice from a reputable source (xda labs is great. It even manages Updates for you). Depending on the apps you need, you'll need some playstore alternative. Some things can be had through xda-labs. If Open Source is your thing, f-droid is great too. Just don't download apk's from somewhere on the web. Your privacy might be more at risk than with google on it.
Also, get a vcard backup of your contacts (or run your own carddav server). Finally, some apps simply won't run without google framework (that's why it's back on my phone). For example "Bring", a shopping list, won't run without google framework. Don't ask me why. But i need that app. Just be prepared for some major inconveniences, and having to find workarounds... :good:
Thanks for the great input domsch1988. You've given me exactly the tips I need to get started. One question though. You mentioned Playstore is preinstalled on H2OS. I was under the impression the main difference between H2OS and OOS was H2OS's removal of all Google specific stuff to meet China's Google restrictions. I assumed that included Playstore. Are you sure it's in there? I only ask because I'd rather start with a OnePlus supported ROM if I can but if that's not the case I'll take the leap and go with one of the ROMs you suggest. Can you recommend a lineage-based ROM I can start with? And, do you have an opinion on microG as a Play framework replacement? It seems like a good idea in theory but the way it's implemented gives me some security concerns.

OP stated that PlayStore APK is preinstalled. I have not tried h2os, so can't say for sure. You could give it a try. And with root you can always uninstall system apps.
I never tried microg myself. For me it was always no g at all or the pico Gapps package.
As a lineage based ROM, on my note 4 resurrection remix was great. On the 3t I'm on stock oos, so not sure.
Play store or anything Google is not installed on H2OS
i am using it currently tried to go without play store and other apps for one day but couldn't deal with all the Chinese apps so, installed OOS although everything could have been installed on H2OS also.
Ok

Google Camera problem

Hi,
I was using a Google Camera app without any problems since I remembered on my Moto X Style.
Event after Nougat update it wasn't any problem.
Yesterday I made a full factory reset and I was suprised by the play store. There is no anymore possibility to install Google Camera from store!
It's not compatible with our device any more. It looks like before it was compatible. I was looked a app on apkmirror but all of them required android 7.1+ (since 4.2 version).
Version 4.1 doesn't looks like that I was using before (there is no hdr option there).
Is there anyone who still have a Google Camera app from play store on Moto X Style and can extract apk from device?
It's been very long since Google has made Google Camera exclusive to their nexus and pixel phones only. It would show phone not supported for any other phone trying to access Google Camera via play store.

Not so long... In a middle of 2017 I made a full factory reset and that app was still available in store for me.
Yesterday I checked friend Note 4 and it wasn't available too bu my friend had already installed that.
Unfortunately there is no possibility to export apk from adroid 6.0 to 7.0...
So maybe there is someone on xda who still have a last version from store with android 7.0?
You can download stock/aroma, 7.0 64bit gapps.zip from opengapps.org and extract googlecamera.apk.

App not compatible after installing Xiaomi.EU

So, I was on Global Stable 10.3.11 for one week while I was waiting for my Bootloader Unlock.
Today I unlocked the bootloader and installed 10.3.15 Xiaomi.EU.
The only game that I play on my phone is Torque Drift which now says it's not compatible with my phone. I tried everything and didn't fix my problem.
Anyone has solution to this?
Tried:
-Editing Build.Prop.
-Uninstalling updates to Play Store/Play Services.
-Clearing Data and Cache to Play Store.

Update to Developer 9.10.17 and you can download it through Play Store, otherwise go with manual installation.
