I am in China since yesterday and none of the Google websites including the Google Play Store works. I was expecting them to be slow but not completely banned.
So now I can't even install other apps than Googles'.
Is there an alternative Play store with all android apps in it that I can install?
Or is there an android rom for my i9000 available that anyone knows of that includes a different app store. So a rom without Gapps but with different app store and none of the Google apps.
Really hope you guys can help! Don't want to abandon my trusted i9000 just yet.
You could use the amazon app store, I don't know if it works in China, but, you could always try
It should work according to google
I picked up a Fire 10 HD 2017 version, and followed guides here to add Google Play (and other 3 associated APK files), which works great. - I was able to installed several Google apps and other apps from the Google Play store.
However, I have hit a roadblock with YouTube TV (not regular YouTube) - Google's streaming TV service. They have a free trial if anyone wants to test this out, but I get an error screen on launch that says "We can't determine your device's location" - and I can't get it to load. All the settings for Location-Based Services are toggled on (overall and specific to the app, and all apps). I have tried with option for Google Play as a Device Administrator both checked and unchecked. Google Maps detects my location and works fine. I am not running any VPN or similar apps, so this is purely GPS based. Tried to use a fake GPS location app (and allow that in developer settings) but that didn't help.
From what I have read, others have had GPS problems - some sort of conflict between the Amazon GPS and the Google GPS expectations. Something about "AGPS" being limited in some ways on the Fire 10 HD.
Has anyone seen this issue and found a workaround or solution? Could be for a related app maybe. I was also unable to get streams to play in the Chrome browser, which would be a fine workaround, so I need something to work here. One of the main purposes of a tablet for me will be YouTube TV. Thanks - appreciate any help.
I'm having the same issue with the Hulu app and the Maps app that comes with the Fire HD 10. I installed Google Play Store and Google Maps (using the APKs like you). Google Maps didn't work at first, however after DISabling the tablet's location services and trying Google Maps again, I got a prompt for enabling current location for Google to which I clicked on yes. Now Google Maps is working!! Sadly, the generic Maps app and Hulu are still not working. Have you had any more luck?
P.S. after speaking with an Amazon tier 2 support rep, they said they are going to get in touch with a developer and get Hulu working. I'll believe it when I see it!
Is it possible to add a google store app? I would like to take away the samsung tx msg app and add signal the app i use on my cell. Was reading i needed to add GAssist to be able to load google apps but can't even find that app to load it. t/u
GAssist does NOT load any google apps on your watch. All that GAssist does is talk to your phone and send Google Assistant data from your phone to your watch. All Samsung watches are running TizenOS which is different from Google's Android OS. You can't install any apps from the play store on your watch. You can install companion apps for your phone from the Play Store, but you'll need the siblings on your watch from Galaxy Store.
No, google apps are Android; the watch os is Tizen...
I am based in the UK and officially own the Huawei Mate 40 Pro. I will say now it's a ridiculously good phone. I cannot fault it at all. Ask me anything you like in regards to it (design, Usage, etc) ... Happy to answer all questions
Great. I am thinking to upgrade P30 pro but very skeptical due to Google.
How u transfer full Whatsapp and how is realistic experience without Google (automatic photo upload, contact sync, G drive, Google duo etc)
Hello
Right, to transfer full WhatsApp you'll need to copy & paste your WhatsApp folder into the Huawei (internal storage) specifically you'll need the "Databases" folder but I would copy the whole WhatsApp folder over so you have your photos, voice notes, videos etc. It's a tiny bit annoying, however, it's the only way to successfully restore your whole WhatsApp history onto the Huawei ?
The experience without google, for me, is really good. Yeah I won't lie, it would be nice to have google services on the mate 40 pro but it's a compromise I'm willing to live in, just need to put in some work to have the dbejxe to my liking. Photo/video/music uploads you can use the MEGA app, simply download it using huaweis Petal search. Contact sync I simply sent all my contacts by bluetooth from my old device to the new hauwei. Or you can back them up on your p30 pro to your Huawei account and download them to your new Huawei. G drive isn't working at all because it's needs gms. I needed g drive for my WhatsApp backup but I had to use the above method I've mentioned google Duo just won't work for now but I use WhatsApp video calls as the best alternative. Gmail doesn't work. But instead of gmail I use Outlook which is a very good email platform. Youtube doesn't work but youtube vanced is the much better alternative (no adverts and had background play)
Thank you for your honest and solid reply.
I am extremely inclinded to this device but the region where I live (Middle East) the whatsapp calls are blocked and we have to rely on Google Duo (personal) & MS Teams for official calls (MS Teams not yet available on App Gallery).
How about launchers (I use Nova launcher)
Honestly speaking, i dont see any other phone which can challenge Mate40 Pro (nor Note 20, niether iPhone 12)
simillar to other apps , several local apps are also not available (Yes we can install via petal search or even other stores but i am not sure they might be dependednt on Google Services)

Why had the middle east blocked WhatsApp calls ? ? There are many alternatives, Skype, Viber, etc
Haven't tried nova launcher but will definitely get back to you on that
Currently the only apps which aren't working are Maps, gmail, g drive but I've found alternatives. Netflix works but not on full hd
Hello.
Did you manage to get chrome, poweramp music player, Uber, careem, Snapseed?
How about the games? I have invested in play store like extreme landings etc
Thank you for the answering

Chrome works flawless, PowerAmp also but the rest will probably don't work because it needs GMS. Games are a thing for itself some work without GMS and some don't
What bank apps not working? And what will i miss if i join huawei from iPhone?
You can record screen at 90fps ?
Can I check with you that the Silky water mode can be used with all 3 rear camera lenses with the Mate 40 Pro? Thanks

I have guidance in Maps, only on 10.49.3 version (of the latest versions).
Glad you have got 1! I'm deciding on whether too but no GMS is a pain, looking to get the deal from the Huawei Store but i few questions,
As your in the UK do you have any banking apps working?
If you use Spotify and YouTube Vanced can you cast to devices?
What keyboard do you use? I've been a long time gboard user but obviously this will be an issue.
Thanks!

to TS, do you find some games are able to use the GPU but some games just fall back to base resolution like 640x480?

Hi, I updated my mate 40 pro to emu 11 and now magazine unlock is not working anymore. Do you have the same problem?
Mate40 pro comes with EMUI 11 ... what update did you make ??
Does the new EMUI always on display show notification icons for third party apps e.g. Outlook, WhatsApp? Does the MicroG method for getting some third party apps notifications
still work?

@future3: I receive notifications from WhatsApp in AoD.
Hello,
I just bought this device. And the best solution I found to have the Google applications is to use Gspace and Youtube Vanced.
Especially to be able to restore purchases via Google Play. And use the applications dependent on Google Play for notifications etc.
If Youtube vanced doesn't work try with this way
Enjoy
