Has anyone been able to get google goggles working? I've converted to system app, but it seems to not work. I suspect because it's a kirin 960, as all my other snapdragon phones seem to work perfect. Any other ideas i can try?
Loads but doesn't take a pic here. Its been abandoned by Google (no update since 2014) so its not too surprising its not working on new phones.

Hello Helpful People,
Clearly we are a niche group who love our P8 Max. Wondering, does anyone else have the issue where Google Play Services stops working on their P8 Max? This has happened to me a fair bit and can only be resolved with a hard reset and reinstall. I now have rooted and removed some or most of the the bloatware, hoping this fixes it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hey michaeldanielbourke,
This has happened to me as well. Not sure what the cause is but I've done a few restores due to this issue. One thing I noticed is that when I launch Maps and it asks for my search history...if I say Yes, there is some process that happens that states that Google Play Services is no longer supported on my device.. Subsequent launches of the Play Store causes an open and close and I can't get it to launch. I also noticed that my Google account was automatically removed from Accounts in Settings. So far I've avoided this by not implementing Maps search history, but I'm not really sure what the root cause is.
If anyone has any other feedback please post. There's definitely some quirkyness with this device, but I guess that's expected with an imported device. Overall I'm really happy with it and prefer it over my Note 4. My Note seems like a toy compared to this ...but I keep my Note 4 around because it takes great pictures and video which I do a lot of.

Interesting. Well I rooted my phone (finally) and removed the bloatware and the Huawei account information. So, hopefully this should work. Shall update
Is your phone rooted?
Michael
Yeah I was rooted, but it was happening when I wasn't rooted. Before I rooted I took a nandroid backup, so right now I'm running with TWRP with no root.
12/2/15:
Just wanted to update this thread. I continued to have issues with my Google account. For some reason it would remove itself for no apparent reason, other than a conflict (I think) with the Huawei ID or Cloud ID that is built-into the phone. I seemed to have solved this by removing or freezing all of the installed Huawei services and apps (with root). I'm curious if other folks have had this issue as well.
With root and all of the Huawei apps frozen, the phone is really running well. The only downside for me is the camera image quality. It's not bad, but I'm kinda picky about family photos I take.
I still can't get over how my Note 4 looks like a toy compared to this phone. I hope Huawei continues to crank our larger format phones. 6.8" may seem big to many folks, but I think it works well.
Just something interesting that I found out. According to Google Play, my phone wasn't supported by this app, but it runs fine. The only issue is this device's junky gyrometer, which doesn't limit the app's functionality. I thought that someone else might find this interesting too.
I downloaded ARcore from google playstore today along with some sample apps using ARcore but each one just keeps searching for planes. I have never seen a single blue dot or anything resembling the fact that it is actually working. The apps load, they just don't see any surface.
Does anyone experience this?
I'm running latest update (ONEPLUS A6003_22_180614) and I have been unable to find ANY INFO on this issue.
Please, if you have any information or similar experience help me out here cause I'm really lost.
Thanks in advance.
How did you download it from Google store if its not officially supported?
I tried installing it today but all apps using ARcore crash for some reason.
Glad u posted this as I'm not able to start threads yet.
I too can't seem to find compatible software to use this.
I side loaded it a couple days ago. The link is in the article in news feed
As soon as I seen the information about google's Measure app came out, I went and installed ARCore and Measure, and it worked perfectly. So maybe there are a lot of apps that don't work with this phone yet?
As a note: I'm on the latest update (5.1.8) with root. Didn't modify the camera app.
There has to be a compatible gcam built for oneplus 6 to use arcore and stickers. What did you think you were just going to use it with the stock oneplus cam? LMFAO!!
Measure does work with the stock cam
Well then how does it work? I have no idea how to use it or what it requires and I've seen people using it on OP6 be it sideloaded before it was suppoted or from google playstore (It is on playstore, I can download it no problem it is supported since few days ago it's all over the internet)
Do you need a special hardware cam to connect to it for it to work?
What do you mean gcam built specifically for oneplus 6?
I thought you only need the ARcore app and then one of the apps that take advantage of it like "just a line".
The apps load well but it isn't scanning anything.
Thanks for replies.
EDIT: Guys, it now works, I tried to download aforementioned Google Measure and IT WORKS finally and now all of the other apps work as well. Thank you for replies I would have not been able to resolve this issue without your suggestions. Thank you.
SOLVED
I installed ARCore from APK Mirror. Then 2 days ago when I saw the Measure app was out, I went to install it from the Play Store. It showed as Not compatible. Looked again yesterday and it said it was compatible. Installed it. Runs as a seperate app. No change to my stock camera
What else is working well?
Most apps I saw were buggy for other phones.
Jurassic Park is cool, if u like Dino's walking around your house
I can't seem to get measure to work I've downloaded arcore and Google measure but nothing seems to happen when I open the measure app it keeps telling me just to move my hand back and forth across the scene but there's no measurement, what did you guys do to solve?
For Google measure, I just open the app, aim my camera at what I want to measure, then a dot matrix appears on the area. Drag the length or width icon from the bottom to measure.
Qlone works good of you want to make 3d images of things around your house
Best way to get any of the apps to work is to scan a newspaper which is on a table or your bed if it has a pattern design sheet on top. The apps do not recognise plain surfaces properly.

Which camera? Which mod?
my op6 also had the problem of no automatic surface scanning. I tried installing google measure but it didn't helped. Finally, after rebooting the phone i managed to use it. So try to reboot your device if you have the same problem
After andoid p beta 2 arcore works fine.. was able to download from play store and played around for a while.. seems to be good..

Hi all,
I'm looking to change from my P30 Pro - love the phone, but I dropped my belt on the screen [emoji22] and they're expensive to fix. Insurance paid me out luckily, debating whether I buy a P40 as they're really cheap now, or get the P30 Pro fixed.
The P30 Pro main camera gives weird yellow hues especially when capturing in raw and I'm hopeful the p40 is improved. Plus I think the 5x zoom is a gimmick, 2x or 3x is more usable in my view.
I'm wondering what the real limitations of daily use with a P40 is if you've loaded gms onto it.
- Can you update apps automatically from the play store?
- Does uber work once you have gms loaded?
- Does Netflix play in HD? (not so fussed about hdr)
- Do you have to re-apply gms fixes regularly or is that only needed when there's a Huawei firmware update?
- Does chromecast work?
I've read a bunch of forums but still not totally clear on what the current state is.
Thanks all, appreciate any advice!

We do need a custom firmware, otherwise forget about it, you may install some apps but you will always find bugs on apps that wont coop that great with some stuff that google have and needs adaptation to run on huawei phones, it really sucks we are doomed, the smartphones are extremely fast, the fastest i ever had, although, i was not able to use netflix, tinder and some others without serious bugs, our only hope is a custom firmware for the p40 family.
Thanks for the reply!

I've had a P30 pro but I returned it because of the size and the dim screen. Got a P40 and could not be happier. All apps work except netflix, no need to reapply anything, updates are automatic.
Considering the fact that in stock version there are no Google services at all, you need to find yourself using Huawei´s App Gallery. Some basic apps like Whatsapp etc are available through it. In other cases it refers to "PetalSearch" which directs you to (somewhat shady) apk-sites. Even if you get another store running on it like F-Droid or APKpure, some apps may be found and installed, but running them usually comes with notifications about missing google services, hence the app would not work properly, or at all...
I got this phone for the same reason (price & performance). Unfortunately due to the lack of integration and usuability, i am deemed to wait for a better image to put on the phone.
(I came across "OpenKirin"-Project and they seem to be active in XDA as well. Hope they´re able to look into this)

This is definitely exaggerating a bit.
Auto-updating apps from Google Play doesn't work, yes, but apps being broken - not really, at least from everything I've seen the only issue is notifications (on my side, Skype, Discord, Duo Authenticator, GMail's own app** and a banking app) however the apps themselves still work. What most people use works just fine without Google's stuff, though getting APKpure store is a good recommendation, that will cover pretty much everything (that is free) and missing in AppGallery.
Tinder definitely works fine from what I've seen, Netflix doesn't work at all due to some API/DRM certification stuff.
**using Outlook or the built-in email app fixes that

Every single app I've tried gives the generic "app not installed" error, even though I meet ALL the requirements. This phone is perfectly capable of running the Google Camera app, so why is it that none of the ports work? This is a fairly popular mid-range phone so I don't understand why nobody has ported it to this phone yet.

any solution for this yet? same app not installed error with every apk i could find. bought this phone for my kids, think they would have a little more fun if can get playground to work!!
I've scoured through the deepest depths of the internet but still, I've been unable to find a working google camera port for this android version.
It's strange because:
1. This phone is running Android 10
2. It has level 3 support for the camera2 api(level 3 means FULLY supported)
3. It's running a snapdragon 450, which is also on the samsung a20s, which for some reason DOES have a google camera port

Bump because I hate the default camera app that is bundled with this phone
In the Google Play Store, couldn't you find the Google Camera app that automatically matches your Galaxy A11?

Of course not, the entire reason I'm having this issue is because the google camera app is only officially supported on pixel phones, but people have ported it to pretty much every other phone in existance or than seemingly my phone.
It does not work because samsung put a 32-bit (armhf/armv7l) version of android on the devices. The CPU is 64 bit but it is running a 32 bit OS. The explanation from samsung is that they did is because their low end devices have very little ram. Also the kernel uses the ondemand cpu governer, it is ****. Android 12 is said to run only on arm64 devices, so maybe when we get android 12 in a few months it will finally work.
