Keep reading that I should receive an update to Google Play Services - not through my provider but right from Google Play. So far no dice.
Anyone else?
I got a EMUI update this morning, thinking it was laying the ground work for GA,but still no dice
I entered an extra line in build.prop and voila. but you need root for that.

Can you tell me how? I Tried to put that line in my build.prop ro.opa.eligible_device=true , but I can't save it
Are you on nougat and rooted? I used the BuildProp Editor app from the play store.
After adding the line and saving, delete cache and data of the Google App.
Reboot and you'll have the assistant.
Apparently since the last Play Services app update there is no need to edit build.prop so just try updating that and wiping Google app data.
GA for those that can't get the app to work, just install Google Allo. It's active in Allo by default
Probably wont get Google Assistant, because I live in Sweden
Yeah it was a US roll out first, and then more places.
What a lot of articles failed to mention is that only some devices are eligible, not all.
No clue what the requirements are. Only 6.0 and above.
I'm waiting until the rollout is done, and then I'm sure there will be a way to do it. Or I'll just wait to root and then do it with build.prop.
More importantly where is that damn bug fix patch from Huawei so i can finally root?
France here. Got Assistant this morning along with the b380 patch
No assistant here is the US on the LO4 variant on B360. However none of my phones or phones of people I know have gotten it. I think its going to be a slow rollout.

You can use it with any system language, but the assistant will work in English.

I just got Google Assistant. Try to install the latest Play Services apk (you could search on ApkMirror), clear the cache of both, Google App and Play Services, and then reboot your phone. That's what I did.
I installed Allo and enable the google app(which I disabled early). The google app seem to enable google assistant system wide. Now I am figuring out how to change "OK Google" to something else...

Ok... It might be repetitive, I come from the LG / Sammy world, so I am new to the Huawei universe...
I've been reading through a lot of threads, like a lot hahaha, I just want to get one last confirmation before I order it (still not sure if I'm gonna get the L29 or L00, although the 6gb/128 is really interesting to me) .
I know people like @duraaraa are working hard to get us something rolling! And thanks for that! I know some other devs (from other phones) are wanting to jump into this pool, so this could become and interesting devs device in the very close future.
But I have some questions, or more like confirmations to ask:
Huawei now really "unofficially" released the GMS for the Chinese / Hong-Kong version of the m9 (4gb/32, 4gb/64, 6gb/128 and 6gb/256). For the users on the AL00, can you please confirm the following :
- you have a 100% English rom or other mulingual possibility (meaning no trace of Chinese writing or other, except maybe some Chinese apps)
- Google playstore, all apps are installable (swiftkey, nova launcher, etc..) and are working 100%
- push services (Gmail, exchange, etc..) are working 100%
- auto sync services (Dropbox, Google photos, etc...) are syncing with no issues
- that you are on the latest firmware and you think now that updates will bring no issues in the future
- do you really see a big difference with the extra 2gb of Ram or is it placebo
- if you do have issues, please tell me
- last but not least :which of the 2 you think will have more development? AL 29 or AL 00
- you have a 100% English rom or other mulingual possibility (meaning no trace of Chinese writing or other, except maybe some Chinese apps)
Yes. No Chinese writing except in Chinese apps.
- Google playstore, all apps are installable (swiftkey, nova launcher, etc..) and are working 100%
I don't have nova launcher, but swiftkey works. Everything is installable.
- push services (Gmail, exchange, etc..) are working 100%
Yes.
- auto sync services (Dropbox, Google photos, etc...) are syncing with no issues
Yes.
- that you are on the latest firmware and you think now that updates will bring no issues in the future
Yes, but without unlocking the bootloader you will only be able to install updates that Huawei wants you to install. Ergo, no betas.
- do you really see a big difference with the extra 2gb of Ram or is it placebo
How would I know? I only have 6GB version. It probably only matters if you use all the RAM.
- if you do have issues, please tell me
Screen touch responsiveness is not as good as other phones. Huawei has been adjusting it a lot from build to build. Hopefully they get it right soon.
- last but not least :which of the 2 you think will have more development? AL 29 or AL 00
With an unlocked bootloader, development will be the same for both. With locked bootloader, you currently have more options with AL00, because that's what I have so that's what I'm working with, and because Huawei has several versions of firmware which can be flashed to AL00, but only one which can be flashed to L29 at the moment. I think Huawei focuses mainly on China, so support of the Chinese phone will be better.
Well, thanks for that quick reply!
Can confirm all Duraaraa said. I got mine, had B109 with working g Google services and I uninstalled all the Google stuff, did OTA to B125. Then it offered B135 OTA so did that. After reboot I stalled GMS and Play store and all good. Had to install Google contacts from APK mirror, and had to go to permission manager and allow Google app as trusted and auto start to get OK Google functionality working but all good now.
Only issue I am having is a few apps won't install. For instance, the CBS watch TV app ... click on install from store and it starts download and the before it finishes store just closes. A couple games do this as well. Working on figuring it out.

@SWBgHz hi, I think to solve your issue with CBS watch TV app go to the play store app permission and make sure Storage have that permission on.
I got mine last Friday nice phone, software is really bad.
After i got everything working on mine. now play store will not work ...keep downloading. i did try everything and still not working.
I have few apps needs update , it is just downloading
I can not get notification from any app
it seems that i will have to factory reset.
I think you guys should download HI suit for back up and restore .
waiting for a better Rom.
Edit: Play store start behave normal again and its working fine.
still can not see notification from my major apps like gmail...etc
I had already tried adding additional permissions as well as setting Play store as trusted app but no joy. Just a few apps do same as CBS on, store closes during download phase.

Make sure that Play Store has Storage permissions. That should fix your problem.
Edit: Oops, late reply
Abject lesson in checking things twice. I swear I did add permissions but such is life. Doh!

With Google rolling out Google Assistant to all MM and higher phones, our Mate 9 should also get Google Assistant. Has anyone got it yet?
Nope

I keep checking, but nothing. I was in Denver through Friday, and in Las Vegas until tomorrow, and no luck. I'll keep trying, because I'm ADHD like that...=).
I got it... I entered Google app beta program.. have my phone on Us language. Turned on WiFi. Next day in the morning had my assistant.

To get it you should have your phone's language and Google's language set to English US. And maybe the beta for Google Play Services.
As soon as i changed the languages to US i received the assistant (can take up an hour or 2).

I've noticed that the Mate 9's apps aren't in the play store. It doesn't appear it has it's own Store either. How the heck do they update?
They either have the auto-update or they do not update at all.
MetroPCS has some apps installed on their Samsungs and are not present in any store. So they either update automatically, or they do not update at all.

Sigh.. I was afraid of that. Makes me want to look elsewhere when the Mate 10 comes out. I'd hate to wait for system updates just to fix bugs in messaging or even the mail app.

True, but you could also use third-party apps that you can find in Google Play instead of the default one from Huawei.

Oh for sure. I usually give the built in apps a shot because when you theme the phone, none of the non-huawei apps obviously theme and it throws the look off. I know that seems stupid, but hey. Also, I know this isn't Samsung, but have you ever tried to use 3rd party apps instead of theirs? All kinda of crap doesn't work right from the gallery to messaging and so on.
well...

I tried googling "hiapp apk" and it led me straight to Huawei's official app store where HiApp is available for download...
alternatively try to connect to HiSuite on your computer... there it would also prompt you to update the different apps when new versions become available...
HiApp is its own app store for Huawei mobiles and tablets. And you can download the package installer, . apk file, for HiApp store from official website of Huawei as below.

Ah great. Thanks guys.
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!

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?
I found this link on YouTube where a user explains how to certify the Mate 30 Pro by Google in the Play Store app. I tried this method 1 month ago and although at the beginning the phrase "uncertified device" disappeared from the Play Store, days later the Play Store app showed me that "my device is not certified", so I think it does not work .
Does anyone used this method that explains this YouTube user?

After testing every method i found here or on youtube im very skeptical. Its very exhausting to try these methods, praying to get only Google Services and all you get are that SPAM-like Pop ups from Google about not having an cerified device.
I bought my Mate 30 pro on the 2nd of March.
Build 10.0.0.193 and LIO L29. Kernel is 4.14.116.
Maybe its because im german

i tried and was able to install with " Not Certified" error, the trick is Install GMS through any method with DATA and Wifi turned off
install GMAIL using apk file rather than play store, after installing apk reboot and turn data on, log in gmail account using Gmail app and then open play store..... you will be able to install everything you want
You can download Gmail apk from here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/gmail/

How do you install GMS without data? What method you use? I can't install GMS with data off, whatever I do, it asks for data.
If you save files in usb type c flashdrive or download to pc and set usb transfer files. No need data, wireless.
This link https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/ where they do the certification is very misleading. When you register in theory it should be fine, but what happens is that Google reviews those registrations and decides which ones to allow. So it doesn't matter if you added your play store ID and clicked Register. I got this information from Google support, because I was asking them quite some times to explain why this service for certification does not work and what is its purpose. They told me that they review those requests in order to allow the certification. They could at least give some feedback on their system showing the registrations status - pending, rejected, successful.
I guess they don't care how many paying customers they will lose when they reject the phones and remove the possibility of even adding them manually.
