Hi!
During last days I tried to figure out how to run OK Google on my P40 Pro. I have to mention that my phone runs under EMUI10 (10.1.0.121 C432) + push notification fix (by Ilham and I ).
This is the result: it runs in background but the screen must be on. Also it works after restart.
1. Uninstall Google app (if it is already installed).
2. Set Play store to not auto-update the apps.
3. Unzip & Install (only) this version of Google app. It is untouched and original. Do not start after the install.
The newer version will not run in background.
4. In Settings\Apps\Apps find Google app and set:
a. Permissions = all allowed
b. Write system settings = Yes
5. In Settings\Apps\App launch find google app and set Manage manually ( Auto-launch+Secondary launch+Run in background = Active)
6. In Settings\Apps\Apps\ 3 dots\Special access\Battery optimization find Google app and set Not Allowed
7. In Settings\ search for assistant . Access Assistance & voice input\Assist app\Default assist app: select Google.
8. Restart the phone
9. In Settings\Google\ set you Assistant voice etc.
Do not update the Google app.
LE:. Android Auto will need the last version of Google app. Using the old one, AA will not work.
Great!! It works like a charm in my P40 ANA-LX4
Thanks!!
This instruction works! Thanks!
io emui 12 with google servos, this guide works

Hi everybody
I have seen a lot of posts from people using Android Auto in a non-supported country who get the message "This Item Isn't Available in Your Country".
Since I haven't seen a real solution for this problem and I encountered this today, I thought it might be useful to post a small guide on how to avoid this problem. (At least it worked for me today)
Basically, you get this message because Android Auto needs to download (or update) some Google applications for Android Auto to work on your phone. While doing this, the application performs a country check and thus refuses to run. By installing these applications through the play store and make sure they are up to date, you won't run into this message.
1. Install or update the following applications: Google Calendar, Google Play Music, Google Maps, Google Voice, Google, GMail, Google text-to-speech (Basically all apps Google uses in Android Auto )
2. Reboot your phone
3. Use a wifi-network to connect to the internet. So do not connect using mobile data.
4. In the security settings, enable "Unknown sources"
4. Download the latest Android Auto APK from a trustworthy website like apkmirror.
5. Install Android Auto by opening the downloaded APK-file
6. Run Android Auto and follow the steps in the setup process
7. Enjoy Android Auto
Not working
Unfortunately it doesn't work for me
Hey all,
After days of testing and comparing older APKs, I found the ideal version of Google Maps for the Huawei P40 Pro without GMS:
-no Google Play missing error on startup and/or when starting navigation
-allows saving searches locally on the device instead of having to sign in
Ideally, I wanted to find a version that doesn't come with the annoying "Nearby Places" bloat. Unfortunately this requires using a version 9.xx of Maps which crashes on startup on the P40 Pro.
Get it from here:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/maps/maps-10-29-2-release/
Check my screenshots to see the UI and save search setting!
Also, because we can't create location pins without signing into an account, if the "recent search history" does not suffice, you can create navigation widget shortcuts to your favorite places.
Hope this helps.
I would rather just install microG (quick & simple) ... then install the current version of google maps.
While MicroG is a cool alternative, my idea remains to use this phone without logging into a Google account or bringing back some GMS libraries onto the phone. No app really compares to Google Maps and this version specifically behaves perfectly.
I like the concept .. and I would join you .. if the notifications were reliable with HMS-naked .. but unfortunately pretty much all notifications are unreliable (either nothing or late or random) .. hence I am on the next best thing HMS+microG .. but if Huawei can ever fix the notifications, then I will uninstall microG and join you.

Can you please give details about the Micro G process?

Summary of Options:
HMS-naked (broken/delayed notifications on heaps of apps, even Huawei App Gallery apps)
HMS+microG (simple open-source app for notifications with google firebase cloud messaging)
HMS+GMS (notifications broken)
HMS+GMS+icebox (freeze google play store as required for notifications and unfreeze intermittently for updating apps)
microG
https://microg.org/
1. Perform a factory reset of the phone (as you need to install apps after microG install).
2. Install F-Droid app (search for the apk .. F-Droid is a store with access to search for apps)
3. Add this repo into F-Droid .... https://microg.org/fdroid/repo
4. In F-Droid, then install MicroG Services Core.
5. In F-Droid, then Install MicroG Services Framework Proxy.
6. In F-Droid, then Install the MicroG FakeStore.
6. Open the Microg Settings app. Grant it all permissions and disable battery optimizations.
7. Add your Google account.
8. Turn on Device Registration, Cloud Messaging and SafetyNet.
9. Restart your phone.
10. Open Microg Settings app, check the status under Cloud Messaging. If it says not connected enter the following in the phone app: *#*#2432546#*#* and restart your phone. Check the status again - it should say Connected. (I had to enter the phone string and restart my phone twice until it said connected).
11. Install apps
12. Check connection in microG app for Google Cloud Messaging
All this will give you is push notifications with Google Cloud Messaging (including the Google Firebase messaging).
I also had notification issues caused by either Huawei PowerGenie and Android Doze .. if the notifications work and then suddenly stop after an hour or so, then try these ..

Hello,
When I changed my phone to the mate 40, it transfers the app from my old phone to itself. But I don't receive the notification from the app.
For example I can't receive notification for twitter, Discord, Revolut, or some other apps.
I've eared that you can install microg to have that, but I have micro G vanced, and it doesn't work at all. Only YT Vanced have notification.
Do you have an idea ?
Cheers !

Vanced microg is not the same, you need to follow the instructions to install MicroG not vanced microg. Once you've done that notifications will start coming through. It's the only reason that I've put up with the phone for 4 months!
But can I still use Vanced Microg et MicroG together ? And I have the internationnal version so I can install it ?

I have installed both and it works well on my international version
One last thing, sorry it's hard to find things for this phone. Where is the link which describes how you can install micro G ?

There are guides on here, just look. From off the top of my head.
1. Go here https://microg.org/download.html
2. Download Service Core, Services Framework And Fakestore
3. Install them in that order, don't open anything yet.
4. Open the MicroG Settings App (once installed)
5. Click on Self Check and tick everything that is setable (some won't work)
6. Goto Google device registration and toggle to ON
7. Goto Cloud Messaging and toggle to ON
8. Goto Google Safteynet and toggle to ON
9. Exit app and restart your phone, Cloud messaging should still be set when you open up the settings app and show registered apps. When you install/run an app for the first time it should appear in the list (if it uses CMS)
If you find that every now and then your phones battery saver kills the service you will need to open it up and toggle the Cloud messaging switch again. To avoid this I uninstalled powergenie - but that's something you'll have to decide if you want to do or not.
I've installed Auroura store which spoofs the Google play store and gives you access to download apps that you need - a lot have limited functionality because they require GSF but most work fine. Again use at your own risk, I'm ok with using it myself.
Hi guys, after losing 6 months plus of WhatsApp data, and trying to recover it, I've found a way to conduct automatic/manual WhatsApp backup to google drive even if u don't have native gms on my Honor Magic 3 Pro.
Specs-
Device- Honor Magic 3 Pro
OS- Magic UI 7.0, no native gms
WhatsApp - Native, original version installed from Play/ Aurora store or WhatsApp official site.
Let me be clear about it, this method uses a gms sandbox app to achieve this, but doesn't actually run WhatsApp on the sandbox app, instead just uses the sandbox app gms to do drive backup and is something I found while experimenting. It's just extremely hassle free and completely do once and forget method.
There are two methods to achieve this, Method 1 is what I personally use.
METHOD 1
Advantage - Completely hassle free, do once, configure and forget method.
Once done using this method, can be repeated with any sandbox app of your choice. However repeating in future will be difficult. And will have extra steps. And will not be able to migrate to method 2 hassle free.
Disadvantage - Some WhatsApp features are limited, like payments won't work, and adding a status update is a bit of a long shot, but viewing status is not an issue.
METHOD 2
Advantage - No above disadvantages.
Disadvantage - Need to request a WhatsApp verification code every time you want to backup.
Can only be done with gbox sandbox and not any other sandbox app.
LINKS FOR DOWNLOAD -
1. Gbox
2. WhatsApp (gbox version)
3. Google Drive (gbox version)
4. WhatsApp Original Verion (clock on package installer, not Google play.
NOW ON TO THE ACTUAL METHOD...
INITIALIZATION - common for both methods
1. Go to GboxLabs official site.
2. Download Gbox.
3. Now on the website, click on the side burger menu (three parallel lines at top right corner)
4. Go to apps availability,
5. Scroll to the bottom and download WhatsApp.
6. Download and install google drive from the same page
6. Open Gbox, and give required permissions.
7. Login to Huawei ID.
8. Minimize Gox, go to device settings and give all permissions.
9. Go to app launch in settings and change to manage manually and switch on all three options.
10. Now launch WhatsApp, the one you installed from GboxLabs
11. Minimize it and go to device settings and give all permissions, also repeat the same as gbox on App launch.
12. Open google drive gbox version, add google account and go to settings and give permissions.
METHOD 2
13. Now open WhatsApp again (gbox version).
14. Verify your mobile number.
15. Conduct restores, skip drive restore and conduct local restore
16. Now you can conduct Google backups.
17. Wait wait , that's not the end.
18. Wait for google backup to end.
19. open original WhatsApp.
20. Verify your number.
21. Done you can now have native whatsapp with google drive backup.
22. every time you want to backup, just repeat from steps 12.
METHOD 1
13. Open WhatsApp gbox version
14. Verify your number
15. Conduct restores when prompted to, skip drive restore and only do local restore.
16. Conduct g drive backup,
17. wait for backup to complete.
18. Now uninstall WhatsApp (real one)
19. ⚠ ⚠ ⚠ while uninstalling, uncheck the Delete app data option.
20. Reinstall WhatsApp from WhatsApp website.
21. Open real WhatsApp,
22. Click agree and continue, do not click enter number.
23. Click on three dots on the top right corner.
24. Click on link to existing number.
25. You will get a QR code.
26. Click a picture of the QR code with another device.
27. Open WhatsApp (gbox version)
28. Click on settings and go to linked devices.
29. Click on add device.
30. If gbox crashes, remove your device screen lock and try again (it's a bug, I've contacted gbox support, they are working to fix it.
31. try again.
32. Scan the QR code you clicked on another phone.
33. Voila done.
34. Now you can normally use native WhatsApp with all function and gbox will do the backup for you.
NOTE : METHOD 1 CAN BE USED WITH ANY SANDBOX APP OF YOUR CHOICE, AFTER COMOLETEING THE INITIALIZATION STEPS AS MENTIONED ABOVE.
FINISHING UP -
1. Disable notifications on the gbox version of WhatsApp.
BACKGROUND INFO-
Both Gbox version of WhatsApp and real WhatsApp uses the same location to store app data.
so, data is interchangeable between both apps.
SOLVINGS ISSUES-
1. ⚠ ⚠ ⚠ Do not install WhatsApp from gbox app play store.
2. Install only from Gbox labs app availability.
once done you can update from play store, no issue.
3. If there's issue with not able to link existing WhatsApp, or option not shown, uninstall WhatsApp as in method 1 above. And install from link I've connected above.
