Buying Launcher Pro Plus?

So here is what I'm wondering about. I decide to buy Launcher Pro Plus, but I reinstall my ROM often and I was thinking: "Am I gonna be able to upgrade to Launcher Pro Plus if I reinstall my rom, or I must play another 3€?". And what if I change my android accout, if I forgot password? Can I still use my Launcher Pro Plus if I have key? or I must pay 3€ for each gmail accout?
Can someone tell me does LauncherProPlus gives you a key which you can use aftere new rom and is it locked to your google acount?
Thanks!

Yeah when you buy it you receive an email with a code (I did at least), and everytime you flash a rom and have to re-download LPP or whatever, you can just go to unlock and then type in your paypal email and the key that was emailed you you. So once bought, you'll always be able to unlock it.

But I mean if I change my google accout. I must use my paypal accout to activate my Launcher Pro Plus. Or I must use adnroid accout?

If you buy the new Launcher Pro Plus from Market, then it is locked to your Google account. If you want to use a new Google account, then you will have to buy LPP again.

When you activate the key though it only asks you for your email which you bought it with. You sure it wouldn't let you go through with activating it if you still had all the original purchase information in it?

To clarify:
Okay let me just clarify this for everybody.
LauncherPro is NOT locked to your account. Once you have bought it, they send a code to your email account. When you are unlocking LauncherPro you type in the email you bought it with (doesn't matter if it's different to your google account), and type in the code they gave you.
Another awesome thing is once you have the code you can use it on as many devices as you possibly want. I unlocked it for sever friends (I know I'm so nice).

That isn't entirely true. LPP previously had to be bought through paypal. In this case you are correct. However, since the release of 0.8.5 there is now a Market Unlocker that you can purchase through the market which would tie it to your google account. AFAIK, you can still choose to buy it through paypal and get an unlock code that way (allowing you to then use it on a different phone/google account in the future).
Btw, unlocking for your friends isn't being necessarily being nice. I believe the intention of using multiple devices is in case you change your device or possibly your google account, it is meant for convenience, not so you can share with your buddies and essentially steal from the dev. It isn't for me to judge, but just pointing it out...

Not cool. Fede makes something great that you and your friends use everyday. Support the devs that make your phone better, don't steal from them.

I've never had to re-purchase LPP, you shouldn't have any problems. The LPP widgets are great, especially once you get a nice skin for them.

why do not just simply backup and restore in LauncherPro settings??
thats what i do all the time and with no problem at all!!
in seconds, not minutes!
i always have my LauncherPro backup folder in my SDCard and when i flash a new rom, choose "Restore Backup" voilá!

My Google Nexus S doesn't find the Launcher Pro Plus Unlocker app in market so i cannot buy the program . Any Solutions ?

Uninstall, go to website and do. 84 and just PayPal? I don't really know how it works now (since I've had plus for ages) but it should work

[Q] Apps from different regions

Hi,
is it possible to get such apps (region restricted) as it is in iOS and Android?

You would have to change your Microsoft Account to one of that region. That will most likely lead to problems with payment from your Credit Card as it won't be accepted in other regions. Also it would mean hard resetting your phone to change the account and therefore you would have only access to the other regions Apps but not to those exclusive to your home market.

Payment is not a problem as I wanted to download free apps anyway - but if I do what you suggest I will loose other apps I got on right now that are not available elsewhere.
Not to mention e-mails, calendars, contacts, etc...
This really SUCKS!

Depends...
I wanted to download HERE Drive Beta while it wasn't available to my region, and I have changed my region in phone to USA, downloaded the app, and then reverted back to Serbia. No hard reset, no new account, no nothing.
U might try this, if it is some app that is tied to another market.

It did worked - thanks!
Looks like with free apps it is not a big issue

Thanks
I couldnt find good free NFC application in my region (Turkey). Maybe I will try to change region and search it. Thanks for this idea.:good:

Try to change Country and speek settings in the phone. So I have downloaded the DevCenter App from US Marketplace what was not available in Germany!

I have a EVA-AL00 arriving tomorrow...what do I need to know?

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.

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.

Associate unlocked Mi5 with new Mi account and remove old Mi account?

I'm going to buy an used Mi5 from my friend but the phone is unlocked with his Mi account and twrp installed.
How can we completely dissociate this phone with his account and associate it with my own Mi account for future works with it (relock/unlock, etc...)?
If anything related to his account I can ask him to do it.
Is deleting the device in i.mi.com works?
Thanks for your attention and sorry for my bad English

Indeed remove the link from the mi.com account via the site.
Also (before that probably) remove the link from the phone itself, so go to developers options and logout on the phone itself.
After these 2 things, you should try to request an account permission for your account, BUT WAIT AT LEAST 24 HOURS BEFORE DOING SO!
Some people have even to wait longer before a phone is getting recognized as removed from other account.

Thanks

P 30 Pro Firmware VOG-AL10

Hello,
I'm currently in China but from Canada, and picked up the P 30 Pro (love it!) while here.
I've been reading I can update the firmware to get Google on swipe left instead of HiBoard.
The model says it's a VOG-AL10 on the settings page. Is it possible to use the VOG-L29 or or other firmware? I don't want to brick my device.
Everything on the phone otherwise works, I just don't like the HiBoard being in Chinese so I would like to get google on that screen instead. Is this possible yet? I do have developer options but i cannot select unlock bootloader.
This is my first Huawai phone so I'm not too clear on how to go about doing this.
I was going to grab the firmware from this site;
https://support.halabtech.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=folder&id=44877

I thought Huawei locked the bootloader, no?

sorry you're right, i will edit my post, i do have developer options access but no bootloader option in here

Hi ! Does anyone have any news on if we are able to flash international firmware on vog-al10 ? I'm in the same situation as OP. Bought the phone in China but wanted to use it in Europe and current firmware is not well translated. Also, are we able to do so without unlocking the bootloader ?

Nope. I can add credit cards to google pay (I removed all the default apps, and switched to Google services is maybe why?) but i cannot use NFC, I can only pay with play store.

Probably I didn't describe the issue well. I can also add a card but not to be used with NFC at store. So same as you..

I also have P30 Pro VOG-AL10 (512GB, 8GB) and I'd like to crossflash it to L29.
Can I flash it using "normal" procedure (firmware->sd card, run update.app) ?

VOG-AL10 with Google account
Here is the solution: You need a mid range non activated in China Huawei phone logged with your Google personal account turned on. Open the ' PHONE CLONE' in your VOG-AL10 and select 'THIS IS THE NEW PHONE' to transfer all your data and apps stored in the mid range phone to the VOG-AL10. When the process has finished your VOG-AL10 will be a Chinese Huawei cloned phone with all the Google account functions.

Moral of the story - do your research first.
The P30 Pro Chinese versions do not usually have Google Play certification. I don't believe that there is currently a way to change the model ID to VOG-L29 either.
