Hello, i want to get rid of everything that is related to google (Gmail, Playstore, Play Services... everything), like LineageOS or CopperheadOS.
Unfortunately, these are not available for the P10.
So, is it possible to archive something close to that and how would i do that?
Actually project treble makes it possible to run LineageOS or AOSP on your P10 if you have Oreo. See this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/lineageos-15-1-p10-t3753886 for more info and some experiences. The Honor View forum has a number of roms and a camera mod: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-view-10/development. Many of them work also for the P10. Expect some issues with the camera, volte and fast charging though.
It's great to see good ratings and positivity about this phone here.
I'm surprised as I always came here to hack my device to intmstall custom Roms and Huawei doesn't give access to do that
I'm reaching out to you in hopes of getting some actual real user experience threads created on the official Huawei UK Community.
A handful of the moderators including myself have made some reviews on how to get apps etc. We aren't after full blown reviews but similar to what your experiences have been like.
This will help average users make a decision whether to buy the phone or not
If you post remember that most users of the community are not experts or technologists. They are usually people looking for help.
You can access it using Huawei support app by clicking forum or visit
https://consumer.huawei.com/uk/community/list/?forumId=20361
And login With your Huawei ID.
You'll get a generic username so update that to anything reasonable.
You could get featured by Huawei a social media too
Links back to this community will just show as text rather than an active link. Their whitelisted urls are few and far between.
Thanks for your help if you decide to contribute
Whilst you're there you can submit some images to Huawei Next-image which is a Global photography contest of certain topics but have to be photos taken on a Huawei device.
Thanks again.
I have a P40 Pro on the way, i have had many Huawei phones and think what Huawei are doing with HMS is a massive undertaking in the west. Only huawei can pull it off. Each day HMS is getting better and these forums and huawei community are really helping me get used to this new experience.
HMS is not perfect at the moment but when i remember the failures of the BB and Windows - Huawei are going in the right direction and not following those mistakes.
Politics and biases aside. I look forward to seeing more fantastic hardware from huawei and the software is going in the right direction.
I'm amazed to see diehearts like you folks willing to stick to Huawei HMS and refuse to serrender to Google GMS. I'm equally inspired by Huawei which is striving their best to reach out to 1.4mil developers worldwide to port their esteemed apps over to Huawei AppGallery. It's becoming quite usable lately as more and more local everyday used apps have been made available on the AppGallery. :victory:

If notifications worked reliably with HMS-naked, then it would be very easy for me to stick with HMS-naked ... unfortunately notifications really suck, hence I am stuck with a HMS+microG install for now ... but at least that is better than HMS+GMS.
Let me know when notifications are fixed on HMS-naked, then I will uninstall microG.

You've got any guide where you got this to work?
Also - Why MicroG, not full GMS ?

go to thread in this P40 Pro forum .. i think it was in the recent thread in this forum for nova ... linked back to a german forum .. but here is below ...
microG
https://microg.org/
1. Perform a factory reset of the phone.
2. Install F-Droid app
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 ..

Thanks a ton for the guide bro!
But why go the MicroG way, when there are working guides for GMS with Lzplay, Icebox, etc ?
Any particular reason why you've picked MicroG over Full GMS ?

microG is a small open-source app .. used in many custom ROMs for years .. simple, quick to install, and less risk of update hassles, and easy to uninstall later if needed, and still very close to HMS-naked, it just provides notification access to google push notifications (google cloud messaging and google firebase cloud messaging).
if you want to use google apps, then this really isn't the phone to buy .. all the hassles & problems with GMS and then what is the benefit of the P40 Pro .. just a camera with DXOMARK score of 128, when you could have bought another android phone with a DXOMARK score of 123 .. virtually no difference.
but microG gets us pretty close to HMS-naked (when the notifications get fixed with HMS-naked, then I will go HMS-naked).
the first microG install might take 15 mins .. but if you ever need to install again, it is about a 3 minute process once familiar.

I wonder how they can fix the notifucations without actually getting a version of the app in the app gallery? Officially at least.

i would like to know the answer to this question .. i.e.
a) can huawei update HMS Core with to make apps compatible with huawei cloud messaging system ... or
b) is the only option for wait months or years for all the various app developers to update their apps for huawei cloud messaging system?
hopefully it is (a)
on the huawei forums, one of the regular users, said that the notification problems were a EMUI 10.1 problem .. so I'm not really sure yet
Depending on how easy it is for developers to add HMS and get officially listed in AppGallery.
Hoping it's as simple as
if gms. Not Installed then.... Hms.Notification() else gms.Notification();
Without checking any of the Dev guides or codes.
It wouldn't be too big an undertaking
My device model is rmx 2025 and yesterday i've got the official realme ui 2.0. I can't use the bubbles option in Android 11 it isn't existing at all is there is any solution to use the feature that facebook messenger is known by it.
I just got a US version of the Zenfone 8. It looks like it's running the same software as global versions as one of the updates indicated VoLTE support being added for some EU carriers. Currently on WW_30.11.51.67.
All apps are working fine, except Google Maps which crashes as soon as you try to open it. Is anyone experiencing this issue?
Nope, no crashes whatsoever
No crashing either. You could try to use OrganicMaps as a replacement that does not track you and is open source.
Hi guys,
I have a Mi 11 Pro with Xiaomi.eu A13 MIUI 14 stable ROM but facing some issues so I want to switch to a pixel experience like ROM.
Can you guys check and maybe answer me this questions:
1. Is Google wallet when you added credit cards to a 2nd Google account and not to the main Google account? For me during payment process wallet app is just opening but with 1st Google profile so I can't pay.
2. Is dual apps working correct when you have also a working profile? For me i can't open links out of a dual app because getting error message that it's blocked by it administrator.
3. Notifications are working without any problem? No need to extra setting up deactivated MIUI battery settings or locking app and so on?
Thank you very much to help me with my specific questions.
Your problems will be fixed if you switch to dev. No need to set up new system.
