Some members may know this, but I hope to let others know about it.
For those who needs to know, you can now install two whatsapp, line, FB or what ever apps (most) you have on the S2, just download my knox from play store, the app takes time to install, so expect a good few minutes.
It will still be only one of each app that's installed. Though it will run twice with different settings or accounts. It's e.g. not possible to run two different versions of the same app.
I should really be more specific, some people like me have 2whatsapp account, or 2line, or 2 facebook, this programs allows you to do just that, any app thats will only allow to have one account on the Sam device, can use this app, it will duplicate it and run independently from each other.
I have tested it with whatsapp, and can confirm it works.
Ok, so I bought a P9 ( EVA-AL00 ) since I've always been a fan of Leica products, and I'm a hobbyist photographer. First off, I currently use an iPhone 5s for the last 2 months, and before that was using a OnePlus One, and before that an iPhone 5c and Blackberry Passport, so I've had a variety ogf phones over the last 2 years. I'm not into hacking, or unlocking or locking bootloaders and that type of thing, which is why I generally like Apple products, as they just seem to work out of the box. I'm leaving my 5s because the screen is too small, and I like what the P9 offers for the money, at a cheaper price point than an iPhone 6s. And the Leica optics.
So, having said that, what do I need to know once I get the phone tomorrow? Any critical or important tips or tricks? Again, I'm not into anything complicated when it comes to phones like rooting, etc... I'm in Canada and my Carrier is Bell. My ANdroid experience has been with the OnePlus One I used for a while, and I was generally pleased with it.
Thanks
Ok, so phone arrived. I made a mistake. It's a EVA-DL00.
It's running EVA-DL00C17B163, and I'm currently updating to 168. This is a CHinese version of the phone, from my understanding. I'm using it in English, but some things are still in Chinese. Is there any way to to flash with other software to make it all English?

Welcome to the club
I recently bought the EVA-L10 (Chinese Dual-Sim, "premium" version, 4G/64G) while in Shanghai, and I have the same "problem" as you.
Basically since Google is not available in China, the phones sold in China don't come with Google Android framework, they use a "non-google Android", based of the official Android.
So, to your question, will it be possible to flash another firmware over your phones firmware? I say Yes, however at the same time I'm lying, because I'm also looking for this firmware for my phone, but if someone posts a EVA-L29 Firmware somewhere on the Interweb, I'm most certain this firmware will work on my phone and should also work on yours (might require bootloader unlock and root, but so what..).
But the phone is, chinese apps or not, awesome
/S
You can install Google stuff. Just download the Google Play store from the Huawei store, and then have at 'er installing all the normal Google Play apps that you want. That's what I'm currently doing. I just want to get rid of all the Chinese stuff on the phone. ALso, switch the keyboard to the regular Android one in the settings.

Hi!
Of course, but there are still some applications that are "System Applications" that you cant get rid of, like HiCare, HiApp, .. etc. and if you are in a country using special characters like ü or åäö, these are not rendered correct in the Mail app (shows up as chinese chars).

Have you checked out the contacts yet, .. did you manage to sync contacts from your Google account? Because my contacts from google dont show up in the Huawei built in "Contacts" App (which is also used by the dialer). Only contacts from Skype, LinkedIn, WeChat etc. are shown.

No, I haven't. I'm also trying to figure out how to do that also! Let me know if you find out.

Hi,
I also bought a P9 ( EVA-AL00 ) last June, and currently i'm having an issue.
Usually i don't have games on my phone, or almost none, but some days ago, i wanted to install Heartstone on my P9. When downloading , at about 85%, sometimes 9x% (once it reached 100%) suddently it pops out from Google Play, and don't install the game. I tried also with other games and it happens the same. It doesn't happens with every game, i tested sucessfully with Stack and Sokoban
I have plenty of free space on phone and several applications installed (no Google Play issue, i think).
After i received the phone, i download the Google services/play store APK without issues. I deactivated the chinese bloatware, with no issues. Once Google Play installed, i downloaded all other Google Apps i use and others without issues...well there is an issue i had with RT app. It installed ok, but sometimes when i want to open it, i have to try several times to open it... I click on icon but closes.
Have someone here with EVA-AL00 having this issue also?
Thanks!

I just bought the non-carrier specific 3G / 32G Chinese version (EVA AL00) P9 when I was in Guangzhou last week and had to do the following after coming back home to get it to work with google and sync with two google accounts.
1. Install Google Play Store from HiApp and sign in with first google account.
2. Make sure to give Google Play Store permission to access storage, otherwise large apps won't install.
3. Download apk of Google Contacts Sync from APKMirror
4. Download apk of Google Calendar Sync from APKMirror
5. Use the browser on the phone to download these two apk files and follow the instruction on the phone to install them.
Sorry I'm not allowed to post outside links yet, however google search keywords like Google Contacts Sync APK will turn up the download links.
6. Since the phone still did not allow me to add a second google account in Settings -> Accounts -> Add Account, I had to install Youtube and use the Add Account in Youtube to add a second google account.
After these steps, I was able to sync contacts and calendar events with both google accounts and install apps from Play Store.
Hi, I too recently purchased a Huawei P9 EVA- AL00 , my issue is that I cannot source the Drivers for this model and I have searched the web on several occasions and several web sites? I am trying to unblock the bootloader so I can change over to English version. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Bootload unlock

Hello fellow XDAers
Yesterday I received my MI9T Pro and I gotta say I'm pretty happy with it (the most annoying thing is the fingerprint scanner not working most of the times but I will try to add better my fingerprint maybe it will work out)
So I started to de-bloat apps via Fastboot and ADB (for some reason the Xiaomi java tool does not work for me, stays in looking for devices and then just freezes), so I searched a few forums and picked a few services that I thought they were unnecessary (like mi cloud, google apps like duo and facebook and some other mi apps), and now I cannot open the Recorder, Notes and also Gallery...
Message is ''Notes keeps stopping''
Again, I read on the packages list and picked on from there, I am pretty sure I didn't deleted things named like that, so I need to install those apps again but I do not know how to do it ONLY via fastboot.
Please help :crying:

Hey, make sure that before using the (Java) tool you have enabled 'Developer Options', you can do that by going to About Phone and then tapping the build number (Miui Version) a few times, then head to additional settings, developer settings and make sure that you have 'USB Debugging' enabled.

thanks, I have to say I forgot about this thread, but I reset the phone at the end..and now I will be more focused on what package to not remove
Mi 11 Ultra is my first Xiaomi mobile. Before that I used the Huawei Mate 20 Pro with the Huawei Watch GT2e. The watch worked perfectly with Huawei mobile phone, but the watch does not work so well with Xiaomi mobile.
I called customer service at Huawei and they advised me to reinstall the watch.
1. Huawei Mobile Services (HMS Core) .apk
2. Huawei App Gallery .apk
3. Huawei Health from App Gallery.
I have also installed HMS core, App Gallery and Health App on Second Space.
The features that I miss are now that I can no longer turn off the mobile alarm and no longer receive alerts from Second Space at all.
Have any of you experienced similar problems?
Okay, it looks like no one understood my question. I can put it another way.
Do any of you use the Huawei Watch GT series, Xiaomi Watch series or Xiaomi Mi Band?
Do you receive alerts from the programs installed on Second Space?
I know it's not any help but I do use a GT2, LTN-B19 version but don't use second space with my 11 Ultra, so there are some of us using Huawei watches with Xiaomi phones.

Same as you
I use Second Space for job sim. I only receive notifications from the profile I was last logged in to. For example, if I used Second Space and put the phone in my pocket after use, I only receive notifications from Second Space on the phone and not from First Space. That was not the case with Huawei's mobiles. There I used to get notifications from both profiles without any problem and at the same time.

You possibly won't receive notifications from an app installed in the second (work) profile if the same app isn't installed also in the personal profile.
So install the app in the personal profile too and enable its notifications in the settings, even if your're not actually using that app in the personal profile.
This is a known workaround for the limitation in some android versions.

I have Outlook and WhatsApp in both places that I need notifications for...
I can do well without Workplace, Work Chat and other job related products.
The problem is that if I do not get notifications from Outlook and WhatsApp anymore. Then the whole meaning of dual sim and Second Space is gone and I have to use extra work mobile which is tiring to carry around.
I have two Amazon apps installed, one for personal buying and one in the work profile for business buying (2 different Amazon accounts).
I have no problem with notifications.
I run official EEA Rom v.13.0.7 on official MI 11U european phone, BTW you didn't say which is yours.

Just to joke with the acronyms... EEA is not completely corresponding to EU...
Countries in the EU and EEA
The European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) - which countries are in the EU and EEA, the single market and free movement of goods, capital, services and people
www.gov.uk
The SKAEUXM Rom is called EEA Rom.
Moreover also a Xiaomi.EU (chinese modded) Rom exists that sometimes is confusing...
BTW, I have only the Amazon app in the work profile, so unfortunately can't help with Huawei smartwatch and apps.
