Over the past month I have been expiriencing issues with the google maps app. It has been saying that I have no internet whenever I try to search for anything. Very recently the google playstore also stopped working as well. I have tried several things including clearing cache and clearing hosts file except for localhost line. I also tried backing up google play services and removing it and installing it from an apk onlinw but it didnt install properly. When I tried to restore the backup (titanium backup) it didnt work properly and now all google apps are broken. Running android 4.2.2 rooted. Any help is greatly appreciated
Hi All,
I just got my MIX. Stock Chinese ROM. Bootloader locked.
I'm having the hardest time getting google contacts to sync.
I opened up the mi app store and I did a search for 'google'.
I then installed the app that looksl ike a play buttoun surrounded by 4 partial circles (one in each corner). That installed a bunch of google stuff, including play store (which works).
There are no phone contacts though, and when I do:
settings -> other accounts -> Google
I don't see 'contact details' and I feel that's wrong.
I only have 'app data', 'gmail, google fit data, and people details.
I'm still locked so I can't install twrp to install gapps.
any other suggestions?

I got it working - used this installer:
http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=280245&page=2#pid5079888
to install google contacts.
Then enable all contacts permissions for the app, then sync.
How do you guys enable permissions for google apps ? I flashed a Gapps pico zip and it's as if the permission system can't touch apps who are in /system (it's grayed out in the apps list), but i'm getting force close constantly because of google play services having no permissions for location services

Okay, I see what the deal is, as per
http://en.miui.com/thread-233426-1-1.html
the installer I used doesn't include the right version of google contacts.

Thanks but that's the issue actually, it's not in that list, because it's in /system (I think)
I think I had a similar issue with contacts not syncing from google, I had to permit something(i think it was "google contacts" or just "contacts") in the permission manager and after that it worked just fine after a reboot

I think you have to wait a bit for it to sync and maybe do a reboot and turn sync on off it happened to me aswell
Hey Frank,
I just got my Mi Mix and i'm running into the exact same problem. I have all the other Google play services installed and syncing fine (Gmail, Calendar, etc) but i can't see to get my contacts to show. I've tried installing both Google Contact sync 6.0.1 and even latest 7.1 and given permissions to everything , even tried rebooting multiple times, but contacts wont show in the Google accounts.
How did you get it to work?

I faced permission problems on China Stable and China Developer. I tried:
flashing gapps nano
using installer
following at least 3 different tutorials for MIUI 8 6.x gapps from en.miui.com
I finally gave up and installed the EU rom.
There's one thing missing in EU rom: They restricted the themes to only contaion international (mostly Indian) Themes.
But 90% of the cool themes are in the chinese theme store and they're awesome. But it's not possible to get them if they're paid. I have MiCredits and want to use paid chinese themes, but that's impossible on the EU rom.
I had the same issue when I first got the phone until I installed Google installer for MIUI

Does it manually sync or do you get an error?
I used the v1 installer to install Google contacts (looks like a red square with a white g). I wonder if it installed other frameworks.
Also I set same wakeup privs to the Google play services.
Once I get unlock code and can backup I'll reset my phone and try again from scratch.

Had the same problems with flashing gapps, it seems flashing gapps puts them in /system, which the permission manager in MIUI fails to access, so the system gapps are stuck without proper permissions. No idea how that's even possible since apk's in system get administrative rights AFAIK, probably an additional layer of security in MIUI ?
Eventually I wiped everything, started over again, flashed the dev rom, got these 3 required gapps apk's from apkmirror and installed them manually, everything worked fine after a reboot then.
Google Account Manager 7.1
Google Play services 10.0.84 (448-137749526)
Google Services Framework 6.0.1
Google Contacts Sync 6.0.1 (Not required for basic play store functionality, but you should use this version if you want google contacts sync)
I know there are installers on the miui forums that do this for you but they look very dodgy and the less Chinese apps on this phone the better.

If you become a theme designer you can access all themes I think

I'm on xiaomi.eu already, with working gapps. But I would be interested to go back to Chinese Developer ROM and install the gapps manually your way.
So which ROM do you use and do your google apps, especially GPS work for Google Maps and can you turn on Google Maps Timeline?
Even after using the installer v2, I found I had to downgrade Google contacts sync to version 4.0.4
Then contacts starting syncing.
Hi all. So just got and put it up for sale as contacts wouldn't sync and I use dual SIM pro to assign a sim to a contact. Even had problems with that. However just come across this thread and wondered if I installed EU Rom and these apps it would work?
How do I install the EU Rom?
Sorry for the noob questions.
First try Google contacts sync to version 4.0.4
I got mine yesterday and installed nova launcher prime and works great.

Can you give you details. I tried this and contacts just won't sync.
I am on Dev Rom 6.12.29.
What version of contacts did you use?
Hello,
I came to the point 4.4 needs to be upgraded.
Is there any 5+ rom for G800F that doesn't have apps installed in separate folders?
Regards,
Alen
nobody?
background - why do i need it... titaniumbackup nandroid functionality does not work, preventing play store and play services update is impossible
OK... from lack of replies I suppose there isn't any rom with such properties newer than KK.
So, I would like to ask you how do you deal with selective restores from nandroid backup?
Also, how do you prevent Google Play and Google Play Services being updated automatically?
What's the problem with separated folders for apps, may I ask? It's how it works from Android 5.0 and above, all ROMs...
If you sign the app with test-key it won't update, but I've never used it with a Google app to see it there are side effects... There is a free app that can do it (replace the original key to a test one).
the main problem is, as i already mentioned, titanium backup, that detects only data in twrp nandroid backup. also, inability to prevent automatic updates by creating "fake" folders.
what do you have in mind for resigning? zipsigner? never thought of that, but might be a dirty workaround. probably the attempt to update will still happen and fail. also, when decided to update the procedure will be more complicated. hoping there are no side effect. will try and report.
Yes, the app I mentioned is ZipSigner, I've used it with ES File Explorer for keeping and old adware free version...
As for TiB, it's weird... Probably they need to update the app, since Android 5.0 that apss are stored in folders... Or you can use another backup utility, ES File Explorer for instance can save apps and their data (needs root of course).
resigning does not work... play store stops working by saying "authentication required. you need to sign into your google account."
you got me wrong about titanium backup. it otherwise works, it just does not detect apps in nandroid backups - it shows only data. important here is nandroid backup. i'm quite surprised they forgot about this aspect since 5 already.
and btw... deducing from the thread about preventing update with "fake" folder... it seems some stock 5+ roms still install apps in an old way - it depends on package installer.
Greetings,
I have put together a proper tutorial for you all who need it on how to get Google Play Services on the Mate 40 series!
This is confirmed to work on the Chinese versions / the Mate 40 RS Porsche which is a china exclusive device as well. It's possible it could work on International models but I do not have one to test so that will be up to you here. Nonetheless let's begin the tutorial shall we?
Make sure there are no google apps installed prior to this tutorial. This is crucial! This includes Chrome.
Google won't let me share a link to the google apps so look up John Wang on youtube and you should be able to find the GMS install with his download link on the video.
Next: extract the Huawei.zip file in step 1 folder to the root of your internal storage it should ask you to merge with an existing folder please do so. If it does not, just proceed to copy it to the root of the internal storage.
You will then need to go into your system settings, and change your date& Time to say June 1st of 2020, a necessary step to get the LZ Play app (The Blue G) working again.
Once this is done, go to your settings on your Huawei device, where the search bar is, type Backup and select the second option Backup & Restore.
Tap the 3 dots at the top right corner of the screen and select Restore from Internal Storage.
From here, you should have one backup option to select from December 6, 2019 1:09 PM.
Enter the password a12345678
Next, open the LZ Play app installed now from the backup, activate it as administrator, allow anything it asks, and then press the blue button to get it working, leave it run in the background so do not close it.
Now at this point, please set your system date and time back to Set Automatically again.
Next, restart your phone.
Go to your file browser on your Huawei phone, the yellow folder, and install Micro G app in the step 2 folder.
Now, go to your settings, Users& Accounts
Then Add Account
Then Google
Then Sign In (if it closes out do it again)
At this point type in your google account information username and password.
Click on I agree when you get to the end part of adding your google account.
Now install the Google apps under Step 3
Install 3.apk first which is Google Play Store
Install Google Service Framework 7.apk
Install Google Account Manager 6.apk
Open Google Play Store
Uninstall Micro G
Install Google Play Services apk 3.apk
Close out of Google Play Store, re open, and keep hitting retry until the play store loads up. If it does not load up after significant amount of retries, simply reboot device and open Google Play Store again and hit refresh until it loads.
We are almost done! Now we are going to fix the Google Play Protect Not Certified Error next
Put your device into Airplane mode so no data is being used during this step otherwise it won't work!
Open Apps under your settings, and tap the 3 dots, show system processes.
Type Google
Open Google Service Framework, select storage, clear data, then go back one and force stop it
Open Google Play Store, force stop.
Open Google Play Services, just clear cache (NOT DATA)
Restart Phone
Go back to settings and Apps, tap the 3 dots, show system processes.
Type Google
Select Google Play Services. Clear cache. Then Clear All Data under Manage Storage Force stop it.
Restart Phone once more.
Turn off Airplane Mode. / Turn your internet back on
Open Google Play Store and you should be all set, no Not Google Play Certified Error or anything bad. You should be able to use Gmail, Youtube etc. You may not be able to use Google Pay as I have not tested it but believe it does not work.
Any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out.!
Ca you please provide another link for the download..
I am getting this error... seems someone is not happy
We're sorry. You can't access this item because it is in violation of our Terms and Conditions.
Thanks for the guide, I have an international version of the mate 40 which I want to try this with.
When following another guide, I uninstalled the backup app to install another version but it fails and says 'you already have a newer version of this app'. When going to my apps, there's no backup app installed and nothing comes up in HiSearch. When I go to backup and restore in settings, the screen is blank.
I've tried installing other versions of the backup app from my mate 20 but it comes up with the same version message.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
I have downloaded a copy of the downloads from another site.
I have an international version of the Mate 40 Pro (NOH-NX9)
I tried the steps above, some are a bit different like Back/Restore option. I have copied the backup file to the repository on an external USB drive where usually restore files are backed up and its showing when I try to restore it.
It does restore LZ Play app (The Blue G) , but does not load when executing saying (This device is not currently supported).. of course in Chinese language. From there I can't go any further.
I'd love to try an international version, but the file is no longer available: "We're sorry. You can't access this item because it is in violation of our Terms of Service."
Google doesn't like our attempts, please use some independent sharing space.
(wrong entry, I would delete it, sorry)
I have the same phone and the same issues. Would be really hulpfull if there was a fix. I tried all the guides (also the one above) and I'm always stuck on the "blue G" application that won't run properly...
There is no fix.
Wow really google is saying my upload violates terms and conditions? Lame. I know it works for sure on Chinese variants I don't have an International one to test on. Makes me wonder if Huawei is purposely leaving this exploit open on the Chinese models?

At least for me, I didn't have to switch to a different backup app, I just used the one that came with my phone and it worked.
Seems google won't let me upload it for some reason again. Look up John Wang Huawei on youtube, his download should still work.

Same thing, My international version NOH-NX9 is also stuck by the LZPLAY not supporting the device.

The Chinese version can be used. The international version cannot be used. I am using the international version. My display is "Google Service Assistant does not support". My friend’s is the Chinese version. They are all available! This is because Huawei faces US sanctions! I don’t want the international version of the mobile phone to be insecure, so the international version has no BUG! There is a Chinese version because it is used in China and no one pays attention to in China phone.

Thx for the info, Huawei really need to prioritise fetching localised Apps (Bank App, Credit card App etc.) to feed App Gallery. I'm holding my trigger of Mate40 Pro until the availability of localised Apps or when GMS side loadable.

you're welcome !Yes! This is
because Huawei cannot use GMS because of US sanctions! So huawei developed himself HMS, so huawei loyal users will feel very bad! sort time no app to use ！This requires a process and more developers join Harmony2.0! There are more mobile apps if the ecology is improved! Don't worry, I believe it will be soon!
As of the latest EMUI it is now impossible to use this method. I'm not sure if it still works prior to the recent firmware update but it completely broke google services for me. So looks like aurora and Amazon app store for me again ugh lol

Really is not good solution and no push notifications, c'mon, we need a better method, a way to root this damned phones without google.
So I flashed my G7 Plus with the latest Lineage, 17.1 I think with no GAPPS. Great ! The only thing I don't have is speech to text so to get this I have to install the Google App. Tried a few of the latest version which I downloaded from apkpure.com becaue not a fan of the playstore. I keep getting an error saying "Google keeps stopping". and it does ! I've cleared caches and all that, but it just seems I'm probably missing some other required package or that it wants some permissions I haven't granted but I have granted all the network perms temporarily as well as mic and storage access. Still get the error. Has anyone else come acrsoss this and know how to solve it ? Or maybe you have to log in to a google account at least once before it will work ?
I'm no expert but could it be that you need google play services to run an app like that?
If that's the case, I guess I'll do without voice to txt. The whole idea here is to keep google spying off my phone.
Use a rom that has google installed and do a back up of the google apps u want to bring to los17 with an app called migrate.... After u install the los17 flash the migrate back up...it will delete the GSF file from the google apps so they can run without google play services

You need the Google play services. And if you want it to work, flash gapps
