Hi everyone,
I was looking around for a tiny open Gapps package because I installed the MIUI 9 kitkat based custom rom on my huawei y360 and I'm loving it but it does not come with Google play baked into the rom but I discovered this really neat Chinese application that installs Google play for you and all the core components to make it run properly so if you installed the miui 9 custom rom
And don't want to install all the bloatware that comes with the open Gapps package then listen up!
I will try my best because I don't understand Chinese.
STEP 1:
go into the stock miui app store (the little shopping bag with the Mi logo).
STEP 2:
type in Google in the search bar.
STEP 3:
Scroll down to the bottom and you can see two boxes just click the first box
STEP 4:
then click on the first app that appears at the top and wait a couple of seconds for it to install.
STEP 6:
Then launch the app you've just downloaded and then click the big blue button.
STEP 7:
Wait 5 minutes and google play will be installed for you and now you can install apps at your leisure!

I would attach screenshots but i have no internal storage so if anyone has a solution that would be helpful
Smash that thanks button if it was helpful

Installing Xposed Framework on Stock ROM without Custom Recovery on UMI Iron Pro
Requirements
FlashFire Beta - Read Post #2.
XposedInstaller_*.*_alpha*.apk (replace '*' with latest versions) - Found here.
xposed-v**-sdk22-arm64.zip (once again replace '*' with the latest version) - Found here.
Steps
Download both 'XposedInstaller_*.*_alpha*.apk' and 'xposed-v**-sdk22-arm64.zip' (found above).
Install 'XposedInstaller_*.*_alpha*.apk'
Launch FlashFire and tap the (+) button at the bottom of the app.
Select "Flash ZIP or OTA" then locate the 'xposed-v**-sdk22-arm64.zip' (./MyFavorite/ on the UMI Iron Pro), you will then see a new menu, leave everything unchecked and continue.
Tap on the EverRoot menu and make sure that all items are unchecked.
Leave the Reboot option on Normal then tap the lightning bolt.
Your device will reboot multiple times (even when it starts the optimising apps screen), just leave it alone.
Once your device has rebooted completely you may open up the "Xposed Installer" app and verify it has installed successfully.
Notes / Issues
This was tested on "Build Number: UMIIron Pro v3.01" (Build Numbers can be found under Settings > About Phone).
Currently SnapPrefs isn't working on the UMI Iron Pro. This could be caused by SnapPrefs or XPOSED, I'm unsure.

How to join the FlashFire Beta
Requirements
Google Account
Steps
As this software is beta, you will have to join the beta community found here.
Once you have joined, using the same Google account go to this page and select "Become a tester".
Now that your a beta tester, you might be able to view the application on the Play Store, but don't worry if you can't just click here.
FAQs
The Play Store link provided is broken, has it been removed? I can safely say that it's not, make sure you have joined both the Google Community and Beta Tester program.
Can you provide the APK? No, but you can probably find it using Google just watch out for harmful repacks.
Hi! Guys Today I will share a guide on How to achieve Pixel features and look on almost any android device running android Nougat.
What you need?:- A rooted Nougat device, Root file manager(I recommened ES), Brain
Lets start:-
Go into root of your device using your fav. file manager and search for build.prop. Usually it lies in system folder but if not found search it. Open it with any text editor and add this two lines at it's end.
ro.product.model=Pixel XL
ro.opa.eligible_device=true
Now reboot your device.
After your device turns on Clear Google App data.(Clear whole data and not cache only).
Now long press on your device to launch Google assistant:laugh::laugh: .
Now another step.
Open playstore and install pixel launcher and wallpapers by google.
Now you need Link2SD.(Install if not already Installed)
Now open Link2SD find & convert Pixel launcher and wallpapers into system apps and reboot again. (This step enables Google Now on swipe).
Now Download the boot animation app by Jrummy from playstore and install the boot animation zip i provided or manually push it into your system where your boot animation is stored.(Normally it's stored in system>media)
Copy audio files and replace it with your default files in system>media>audio.
Now if you want more follow:- (Not recommened for CM users but i hadn't encountered any problem on my CM though )
Download substratum from Playstore and Pixel Ui which is similar theme for this app and apply it via the substratum. Reboot
Cm users can skip many steps and use any pixel theme and icon pack from Playstore and apply it via Themes app natively installed.:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
It's Done. Now enjoy all features and look of Pixel on your device.
While i encountered that google assistant doesn't recognize your voice I can't do anything for it now. I will keep looking to make it work but it will take time.Sorry.
You can also just download the launcher and wallpaper and install it. It still works that way. Also you can manually push them into system if required. But i suggest you to use bootanimation via substratum only as i pulled the zip file from PixelUi.
Here is a thread on Pixel experince you may want to take a look here too if you want to avoid so much work and go for flashing zips:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...xel-experience-launcher-dialer-t3478907/page1
Tips:- Signup for google beta tester on playstore and update your google app to latest beta version for seamless google assistant work.
You may add those two build.prop at the end and don't change your default model number. It will still work.
Boot animation have a huge chances to work normally as the just conatin minimal animations and cover center of screen. So try it out and tell me.
This is my first guide. Please PM me or quote if you have any doubts before rating my guide bad.
Thank me if you liked my guide and my assistance.:laugh:

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 !!

Well, it's better than nothing
Before i begin with this tutorial full credit of for the files of this tutorial go to Twilight glass: https://bbs.nubia.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1397112
Welcome to my alternative guide to installing GAPPS on the nubia x. This tutorial is only for people who are having issues with Teeemoo's method of installing GAPPS or for people who to want to have a more up to date version of GAPPS. Im sure most people have already seen Teeemoo's tutorial but for anyone who hasn't, it shows how to root and install GAPPS.
Once again keep in mind this is a workaround and should not be the official way in how to do it, keep your eyes on the Chinese forums if your waiting for updates on twrp and GAPPS. Im not taking any responsibility if anything goes horribly wrong
Teeemoo's: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nubia-x/how-to/how-to-gapps-nubia-x-t3878441
Like Teeemoo's tutorial this requires root, as i don't believe there is any method to install GAPPS without root. I can help with the basics on getting root on the nubia x but if you need a tutorial Teeemoo's tutorial is your best bet and if your still having issues Twilight glass's root tutorial will help, as long as you use google translate.
Now if your all ready we'll begin.
There is this text tutorial but if you are having issues I've uploaded a video to my mega drive (it is the same place as all the other files)
STEP 1: Download the Google folder from the mega link(DOWNLOAD AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE)
STEP 2: Move the files to downloads folder if there not already there.
STEP 3: Install Root Explorer (DOWNLOAD ON MEGA)
STEP 4: Open Root Manager and copy the 4 google folders from downloads to /system/prive-app
STEP 5: Now go to /system/prive-app and select the 4 google folders and select the 3 dots at the top right of the app, then select permission settings.
STEP 6: Enter the octal 0755 and check both options at the bottom (apply to all folders and subfolders, not to subfolders).
STEP 7: Once you have confined these options restart your phone straight away.
STEP 8; IMPORTANT STEP FOR ANYONE WHO IS HAVING DATA ISSUES WITH APPS LIKE GOOGLE PLAY AND YOU TUBE.
Make sure when you open the google play store and login in to your google account with moblie data enabled not wifi (this is important) if you want to be able to use google play and other google apps on data reliably
GOOGLE FILES DOWNLOAD: https://mega.nz/#F!8poGlAqL!lJv5HZaa_iT-mMTWJhk7Hw
This is it for the Google play install for anyone having issues feel free to leave a comment and ill try to get back to you. And once again full credit for the files goes to Twilight glass.
Thanks for reading if this helped please feel free to leave a like.
thx will try soon

Contact sync is still bugged I think cause of how the Nubia software is correct me if I’m wrong however the download issue can be fixed by downloading permission manager and enabling all the permissions needed
