[Q] Huawei App Manager has more updates than Google Play Store

By chance I ran the Huawei App Manager and it showed me a lot of updates for Apps I installed with Google Play but Google Play does not show these updates?
How can that be?

I noticed that too. I don't know why. There apps were the only google apps that I did not have a problem with dealing with syncing and my google account disappearing before I was rooted.

How to install Google Services and Google Account on Huawei Mate 8.

Hello,
I have bought huawei Mate 8 (4/64) chineese version on ibuygou.com for review in my country . I wish they had installed google play services etc but they didnt.
I have tried with Google installer - it didn't help (method the same as in xiaomi devices). Next I have tried to install google play services.apk and google play.apk from apkmirror, but after I have written my email and password, there was written that there is no connect or sth like this - try again later. I checked account menagment in settings if I could login in google account, but there was no such option.
So my question is: Has anyone method to install google play, google services on this smartphone? I hope that anyone can help me, I will be so grateful !

Open HiStore (The Huawei app store) and search google, the first little banner that pops up click it, there should now be a list of the google apps. Install them. Change some permissions and you should be good.

Also install the app in the internal storage in case you have a micro sd installed.

ok so the solution here works great but when downloading larger apps such as zombies run or NFS No limits the playstore would force close and download fails without warning.
has anyone experienced this? could it be to do with the download manager?

Mine had the same problem before i changed the rom to the international one. And i know some people having the same problem.. Still no solution...

Why do people say there is no solution?!
I've seen some guy encounter this issue and then find a solution for it, and now it works perfectly for him.
Something to do with system app and permissions i think was all.

Also, you need to give Play Store internal storage permission to download those large games, until I did that I had same issue as you with large game installs appearing to cause the Play Store to crash.

Appreciate this. I've tried trusting the entire google play store app which should allow everything but that didn't help. cleared data and stuff + reboot - nothing.
But seeing how someone did manage to solve it, I will give it another go before flashing. Thanks

solved. The UI is sort of confusing because I needed to bring up another (native?) permissions manager in order to enable storage permissions. could be a security feature.. no idea.
either search for "permissions" inside settings, or reach it by going to Apps > Advanced.

I'm planning to get the Chinese version (only one for now that has 4gb RAM and higher storage) and my question is does the phone come with English out of the box? Thanks

check with the shop ure getting it from, there are definitely multilanguage china roms

First public firmware for ROG Phone.

Found this posted on ASUS's website today in the downloads section.
Appears to be the Chinese version of the firmware. Judging by the patch notes looks like they will have separate versions for China, Japan & Worldwide.
*Edit*
They now have the World Wide firmware posted as well as the Kernel source code for both Chinese and World Wide variants.
https://www.asus.com/ca-en/Phone/ROG-Phone/HelpDesk_Download/
If the downloads don't appear for you when you select Android from the dropdown menu, there seems to be something wrong with ASUS's website and Chrome. Working fine on Firefox and Edge.

I just recieved my chinese unit yesterday and i have updated immediately to the mentioned update version. I am saddened by the fact that so far it's not possible to install the google store and the Google apps that require play services installed, i have spent the majority of the day trying different Google installers but to no avail. Still i managed to get the majority of my apps installed.
Hopefully this issue will be resolved soon. By the way you can download the phone English Manual from Asus Website the chinese version of course which will give more details to anyone interested. If anyone has any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
One final note you can't flash other region rom and there aren't tools yet to do so.

So i just installed the app you mentioned, basically it's a launcher it lets you access the play store within it using your Google account but it doesn't actually install the Google play store or any of its required sister apps it only lets you install/update from the Google Play Store like your purchased apps for example, still if you install Google Maps from it for example it won't work because you need the Google Account Manager to login and retrieve your saved info, same thing for all other Google apps that require Google play services. Actually this launcher works like "Yalp Store" if you heard of it but Yalp is better i think.

Did u tried to install google store apk file from it?

Yep that's what i did, and as i explained the google play store isn't a stand a lone app it's within the launcher app. You will not find it in your drawer app so technically it's not installed. If you remove the launcher you will not be able to access the play store anymore, so the launcher is acting like a proxy to the play store.
Edit:
So to further explain, if you ever used an Android emulator on windows this launcher app does the same thing. The launcher app installs all apps within it and you access them from it. The only problem with using this app is how secure is your data and what about your google account.

Yes but you install them within the launcher app. once you uninstall the launcher your apps goes with it.

what do you mean by another launcher?. I think you misunderstood me, the launcher app i mean is(gplayspace app) all apps installed are within it, so if you uninstall it all other apps are uninstalled.
If you want to just use chrome, Maps you can install them from Asus Store but old versions not up to date. Regarding Youtube you can install "Youtube Vanced" which is better than the Youtube app itself.
If you just want to use (playspace app), make sure to use a disposable Google account in case something wrong goes down. Good Luck

Bro i just answered you. All apps installed from gplayspace app are within it you will only find them there. So you will not see them in your Home launcher as individual apps.

Its clear now
Thanks if u found any way to make google play working inform me

Guide to enable Google services on China variant AL00

Hi everyone,
I've been seeing many people having issues with installing Google framework on the AL00 variant.
The fact is that Google framework is already baked in and it is just a simple update to enable it.
1. Open app gallery and change country to China
2. Search for Google play store and click update
3. After update, click on open
4. The usual setup will appear
5. Done.
After the above steps, the majority of Google services and sync, etc should all be working.
* Update - OK Google does not work out of the box.
Have a good time with your new baby ?
Cheers!
Vincent

Now u mention Google services, i think Google assistant does not work properly... or is it possible now?
Right now i still have my hn10 and here is still not possible [emoji848]

I should say Google framework instead of services. I need to test out Google assistant as I don't use it but "OK Google" might not work at all due to Hivoice.
I'll update this thread to reflect more facts.

I just used the browser to look up "Google play store" and it gave me an option to download/update it, I've never opened the app gallery and everything works fine ??

I do the same? thanks

Hi Vincent,
Thanks for the suggestion above. I have legit fried my tiny brain on all aspects of getting google play to activate/update install what have you.
My location in the App Store ALREADY says China - and I am still unable to open or update the Google Play Store.
Any other suggestions? I am also unable to create a Huawei ID for the phone, it keeps saying "Restricted" and won't let me. Any work-arounds for this?

What are people using to get apps?

Hi all.
I have been using the P40pro for a while now and have used App gallery and Petal search. I am just wondering if anyone has found any better ways to get apps on the device maybe something that auto updates apps as manually isn't that bad. But it is not just overly convenient.

If they where downloaded from App gallery they will auto update or you can set to manual if you prefer. With petal it is a manual job but realistically this allows you to check what the update is actually for an if you want to do it or wait for the next one, so there is a plus side to this.

if its direct download through App gallery it will! im sure in time it will

PhoneClone as a starting point - but I make sure to replace with version from AppGallery if possible (Snapchat + Tinder for example)
AppGallery
PetalSearch
Aptoide
APK Sites which don't appear on Petal
Direct from sites (Facebook and Vanced (Vanced.App) for example)
That's pretty much it unless you're going to get Play Store installed and working.
