Change Galaxy A3 from Chinese to European/Dutch - General Questions and Answers

I had to buy a new phone while being in China: Samsung Galaxy A3 SM-A3000 upgraded with Android 5.0.2. However, due chinese policy, several sdervices from Google like Play Store and Play services are not installed. I have tried to add the APKs but thgat does not work.
How can I get a European (English or Dutch) version on my smartphone that also included Play Store, Gmail and accept my Google account?
Kind regards

[Q] Galaxy Tab 2 7 inch bought in China...no play store

Noob here with a hard luck story..
I'm living in China, and just bought a new Galaxy Tab 2 7 inch (model number GT-P3100). Unfortunately, it didn't come preloaded with any Google apps. No Google Play store, nothing. I found the Google framework.apk, and play store.apk and successfully loaded them. They store app will load for about half a second, and then crash. nothing. I did manage to get the device loaded on my Google account, so it shows up on the web store. it wont download anything because the store app isn't working. China is absolutely not Google's friend...
would rooting and flashing a MOD from a tab from the usa be an option? maybe alt app stores? kind stuck...

Root then flash a Custom ROM (like AOKP or CyanogenMod) that has a GAPPs zip for it aswell, should get you up and going, tho you may also need to connect thru a proxy server outside of china, it's been a while and I don't remember all the details I've read about accessing google play from china. Yeah china sucks when it comes to google.
If you prefer the stock ROMs, you can also flash a stock ROM from another country with gapps included and should be fine

Need market enabler/unlocker plus a solution with samsung apps local store

hello my samsung apps store is in Hebrew and I want to change it to English
moreover, Im looking for working market unlocker for google play in galaxy s4 i9500. i have the most updated google store
thanks.
comonnnnnnnnnnnnn
if your country doesn't support the play store u should change your ip via VPN/proxy + installing MARKET UNLOCKER
but if it's supported there then the market unlocker will do the trick.
p.m me if you want it! i have this version : Market Unlocker Pro 1.2.1
I just enabled my market for tablets and I want all the applications will appear in play store and samsung market.

Huawei Watch 2 - Questions re. China version

Hi there,
Watch: LEO-DLXX Firmware N7I56C
Huawei P10: VTR-AL00C00
I have recently purchased a Huawei P10 and Watch 2 4G from China and have a few questions:
Google Play Store:
When I tried to setup Android Pay, it says it needs an update. However the Play Store says it’s updated. When I’m on the Play Store on the web, it doesn’t list the P10 and Watch as one of my devices. Therefore:
1. Is the Play Store I installed from the Huawei Store on the P10 different to the international one?
2. Is there a Play Store available to install from the Huawei Store on the Watch? If so, what is the Chinese Characters and pinyin I need to search for it?
Note: I see Google Play Services in the Settings-Apps on the watch
Facebook:
1. Can I install Facebook and Facebook Messenger on the watch?
I’m receiving the notifications from Messenger, but I cannot reply to them, as the app isn’t on the watch.
Android Wear:
1. Is there a version of Android Wear that has been hacked to remove the region check?
I assume there’s no region check on the iPhone, as when I installed Android Wear, downloaded from the App Store, I didn’t receive a prompt to install the China version.
Google Assistant:
1. Can the Google Assistant understand English?
International ROM:
1. Have there been many issues with flashing the watch to the International version since the guides were posted by Giangishanhai, CadBuRy.VN and DrChch in May?
2. Which guide should I be following for the Huawei Watch 4G LEO-DLXX?
3. Lastly, I assume the warranty will be made void, if I flash it?
I have seen a few posts on watches being bricked. This is what I will be doing if the China version is too limiting for me.
Thanks in advance..
P.S: I previously wasn't receiving any notifications on the watch, and after an updates from firmware NXH19Y to N7I56C, they have slowly begun appearing
I have the exact same questions regarding the international rom. I currently have a DLXX with NXH19Y

I see you installed the International rom... Are you using International Android Wear?
Keen to get Android Pay working as when using the China version, it tells you to update Android wear... but the Chinese version is already up to date And I think Huawei Pay is trying to connect to China's Network and uses Union Pay. At least that's what I assume with the rough translation from Google
And can you access the Google Play store on the watch?
I installed the international rom and use the android wear app from the play store in Canada. Everything works perfectly. Once I relocked my bootloader, I was able to relock my bootloader. I even got an OTA update today!
And yes, android play works fine on the watch. But I did need a companion phone to setup android pay.
Sounds great it's giving more confidence to flash my watch.
Help

I flashed my Huawei watch 2 LEO-LDXX today successfully following giangishanghai instruction (need run oem unlock first) to firmware version NXG71I. OTA works, now update to NXH19T. Also Android pay installed, but not test yet.
Try this guy
I have had the same problem and after searching a number of forums I saw a comment from a guy based in China who said he could fix the problem. I was a little skeptical but I contacted him and he did it and the watch works perfectly. This is a copy of the post he added to the forum.

I have the Chinese and the English Global ROM,both Huawei Watch2 Bluetooth version and the 4G version, and the Huawei Watch 1 generation. my Email is [email protected] Any one need help can contact me via this Email or QQ or Wechat 2070862217. Maybe I can help you flash your watch to international version or the Chinese version. Thanks.
He charged me about $25 USD - The only issue or concern you might have is that he did it remotely, asked my friend to install some software and connect the watch via the charging cable. My friend said it took about 30 minutes.
Hope this is of help.

I contacted Sunny-China and he was able to fix the problem. My watch now runs the international version and all is working perfectly.
Mod Edit

Cant find a version of Google play store/services that work!

I am completely new to this kind of stuff (hence the username). My mother just gave me her older Samsung galaxy tablet pro.
We live in China and as you know, everything here is on lock down. I want to download Google play store and the services but every one that i tried did not work. I bought a Huawei phone a few months back and put the Google play store on it with no problem at all. I am completely lost.
I do have a VPN.
Android version is 4.4.2

[Q]Will Huawei Mate 20 Chinese ROM work fine with google services?

I can't find the international version of Mate 20 locally in Europe so I am looking at Aliexpress and I have found out you can easily add play store.
But will google services like maps, calendar, etc work fine? Is the English translation in that ROM good?
Thank you
If you have a Chinese version of Mate 20, you need to enable Google Play Store.
Just go to HiApp, which is an App Store by Huawei, select Google Play Store and update it.
