Installing GAPPs suite on Honor 9 (Chinese Version) - NO ROOT NECESSARY

Hello alL,
I come to bring you good news. I have managed to install google play store and other Google Apps on the Chinese version of the Honor 9 (WITHOUT ROOT).
For anyone wondering, here are the steps.
1 - Download this file to your Honor 9.
2 - Decompress the zip file and install "Google Installer_2.0.apk". Don't touch the other files.
3 - Run this app (the newly installed one with the chinese name) and confirm using the Green button near the bottom.
4 - Confirm all prompts for authorisation, ensuring you select "Trust app" to give it full permissions. This will install the core "Google Play Apps Suite" as a user app, meaning that you will be able to uninstall "Play store" by simply dragging it to the top. See 1st screenshot.
5 - Check if Google Play Store has been installed and is working. If android complains about "Missing GMSs", reboot and try again. If still you have problems, try downloading "GMSInstaller apk" from an internet mirror of your choice.
See attached screenshots for proof that it works!

Great guide! Thanks for sharing. This is a safer way than rebrand, but rebrand will bring you a full Europe/US EMUI. You will not see any left-over Chinese characters.

The only downside is you'll be left with some Chinese letters here and there :/
But, it's easier than rebranding

Is there a lot of Chinese left so that it becomes difficult to use the phone? Or more like a minor nuisance? I'm currently in China and positively drooling at the local retail price but I've no access to a computer for rebranding.

Hi, I tried this procedure, I managed to install all the GApps but when I try to login or add google account the phone freezes for a moment and nothing happens. Same behavior on YT, while on Gmail and Play Store it still says "GMS Installer required". I guess that with a chinese phone you need to flash it anyway or it can't reach google servers. Am I right?

Hi,
I previously installed google services successfully using GMSinstaller when I first got my Honor 9 in August.
Now it is upgraded to B201 and because it always crashes when it comes to google play, I ran GMSinstaller again which asked me to uninstall every google related apps.
I did so but now it is impossible to install google again
GMS installer will only propose me to uninstall previously installed google apps, then reboot.
I tried several "Google Installer" including this one, none of them are working.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks

It seems like this B201 update patches the GMS installer

I tried removing all the google stuff (framework, account manager, services, sync) then manually install each of them : still doesn't work.
Does anyone with B201 firmware succeed to install Google ?
Is it possible to downgrade without root/unlock ?
One thing I have not tried yet is reset to factory, If I do so I am wondering if a backup from HiSuite will restore everything...

After Factory reset, GMSinstaller worked again !
But my fear was confirmed : after restoring from HiSuite Backup, I lost some datas in my apps and also all my notes in the notes app
In the end got Google back, that's the most important !!

GMS Installer 100% works for Huawei Mate30/Mate30 Pro

Hi all
Download the GMS Installer and install the APK, open the app, and press One Touch Installation, your device will automatically reboot and automatically install Google Play Services in Huawei eRecovery.
After your device booting back into system, check in Apps if the Google Play Services installed correctly.
After that, you can download the rest from APKMirror : Google Account Manager, Google Calendar Sync, Google Contacts Sync, Google Play Store, and Google Services Framework. Keep in mind you should download version that fit to your android version.
You can even update the Google Play Services to the latest version using the apk's from APKMirror, don't worry it will works.
That's it!

Will this method help with any known issues? Like installing Netflix, copying Google account from phone to watch, etc
Or does it do the same thing thing as restoring Google apps from backup(with HiSuite and lzplay)?

No one has replied yet, who knows if it does! I don’t think it changes for Netflix!

I have included GMS through old method USB, i have no issue at all except the security (Netflix, Google pay...)
Any difference?

From other threads, this app just installs a messaging app, take a look here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81568945&postcount=5
The 2 links are different, be careful, see pic below.
Even the GM's installer looks like it is just a cover for an app called com.tyq.pro. Please be careful, could do with someone who can analyse the files better than me to check. It just seems to be everywhere.

Can you send me the tutorial or link you have?

Guys, installing GMS one way or the other if using the proper files and not some dodgy messaging app will have the same end result. Our Mate 30 pro's are still flagged @ google as not being certified. At the end its the same old same GMS you install. I would be extremely carefully with what you download/install on your phones...We still don't know which "backdoors" if any are being installed with the so called restore hack.

Didn't fix any of the problems.

Google Framework Services issue on Mate 30 Pro 5G and lost my GMS :(

Hi, I have Google Play Services (beta tester) at Play Store.
Recently and last days sometimes I received a message system from my Mate 30 Pro 5G that says:
Battery usage details:
Google Services Framework continuously searches for bluetooth devices in the background. Force stop to save power. (in Spanish).
And as you can see I cannot force the stop because the button is not enabled.
Should I leave Play Services Beta tester ??

And I have got the same Google Services Framewrok as you ...

I had a problem with the Google services framework on my Mate 30 Pro.
The Huawei system kept telling me that this service framework drains the battery quickly.
Wanting to see a bit what was happening, I fiddled where I shouldn't have and deleted the data from the Play Services app ... and hat the Mate 30 Pro that I had with Google services installed since December 2019 has gone to hell !!!
My fault for doing what I should NOT do.
Following your last tutorial, and after a factory reset of the phone, when you want to install in STEP-1 the 2 apk files of the Backups (previously uninstalled following your video tutorial, the Mate 30 tells me that the Backup app exists a newer version on my device, and remove it.
And of course, I can't find it, and the Backup Copy doesn't appear in the Settings menu now to continue with the rest of the tutorial.
What can happen to me ??
Thanks and sorry for this
PS: I don't know if the new EMUI 11 version that it has causes it to generate any conflict.
The issue is that with this method, if I delete the Backup app that comes with the Mate 30 Pro, and I try to install the 2 apks that you provide in step-1, the phone won't let me install them because it already tells me that I have one latest version.
And then when I go to Settings, Backup is gone ... because I have uninstalled it as you mark in the tutorial.
ADDED: The message that I get after successfully uninstalling Backup, and installing the first Backup apk is:
Install failed
Reason: You already have a newer version of this application.
I asked to Eloy Gomez at a Spanish forum becuase he teached to me last december, 2019 how to install them following his tutorial but at the moment I don't received any reply.

Huawei Nova 8 EMUI 11, how do I put Google on it?

Hello everyone, I'm in China using a VPN and I have no idea how to put Google on my new phone. With EMUI 10 it was really easy but I'm having a lot of trouble.
With EMUI 10 I used an app called GMS Installer, however on my current phone it can't download because I get an error with the signature and it tells me to download the official app.
With Googlefier I follow the steps and it still doesn't work in the end except the Google Play store doesn't crash, although the sign-in button is unreponsive
With LZ Play, it just gives me an error when opening the app
When attempting to downgrade using the Hisuite, there is no option to install a different version or older EMUI, it just says I have the latest version
With Dualspace and Gspace, everything works fine but I mainly want to get an app called Lingodeer working but it doesn't work with VPN but Dualspace and Gspace require VPN to function

Registration expires soon on P40 pro

For two days, i have been receiving a notification from GMS with the following content:
"Registration will expire soon. Google applications and services will be discontinued in 6 days. Click here for more information." When pressed, the main google help page opens. I have a p 40 pro with Emui 12.0.0.228 C432E3R4P5. Since installing GMS on Emui 11, I had no problems and everything worked until now. Do you have any suggestions on what the problem is?

Yes, but play protect errors could appear, and you have to fix them.
Also Many apps (Google apps in particular) should be reinstalled or delete data+ force stop.

I got that notif too.
After almost 2 years using P40 Pro with no issue. I was tempted to update with the latest google play services (GMS) after read bender_007's post which stated no issue. And the nightmare came with those expiring notif.
This what I did. I uninstalled the GMS and all google apps start popping up notifs cant work without GMS.
I reinstall the GMS with the one I used for the first time (lucky me the apk file still exist in my phone).
And then I download GMS apk
version 21.24.56 (for P40 Peo) from this link
Google Play services 21.24.56 (100400-383540743) (100400) APK Download by Google LLC - APKMirror
Google Play services 21.24.56 (100400-383540743) (100400) APK Download by Google LLC - APKMirror Free and safe Android APK downloads

After GMS 21.24.56 installed, clear cache of GMS and restart the phone.
Works charm.

Thanks! I also got the same message and follow your steps to install 21.24.56 file. I will remember not update the play service anymore too.
