Hello all, I am looking to see if anyone has the installer apk's for gapps, gmail, vending etc. for android 1.6. I'm trying to get a tablet up and running and I accidently deleted them. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!!
Hi,
the easiest way would be to extract it from e.g. the CyanogenMod/DRC83 Base ROM.
DRC83: h*tp://dx.infernix.net/DRC83_base_defanged.zip
CM4: h*tp://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/update-cm-4.2.15.1-signed.zip
(Sorry for the links - I have'nt enough postings to publish URL's )
Extract the ZIP-File and search for the APK's in system/app. BTW: Which Tablet are you using? You could download the original ROM and extract it from there. I'm not sure if the Vending.apk/etc. from the HTC Dream runs on a tablet.. Theoretically - yes.
Greetings,
Nathan
Hello everyone,
The question I have is: where can I find the firmware for the Huawei Ascend G6-U251? it seems to be unavailable from the Huawei site and searches online mostly come up empty.
Is it technically possible for another user with the same phone model to extract the firmware from their phone (forgive my ignorance, I am still figuring out how installations and backups work and I am not quite clear yet on it all yet).
Some context about my situation if anyone cares to read through it all and make any suggestion.
Thank you all in advance.
After rooting and messing with my Huawei Ascend G6 I managed to get into a state where the phone is:
- rooted
- I am able to remove annoying bloatware apps
- I am able to move apps to the SD card to avoid the "not enough storage on device to install this app"
That's all nice, but in my enthusiasm I also removed an app called SystemUI.system.apk. I believe this app deals with the status bar, and my phone is now in a state where it starts up and generally works, but there is no status bar and there are no notifications.
I've spent a fair amount of time searching things online to get the status bar working again, but information is scant on this huawei model. There are no custom ROMS that I can install. So I started searching for the Firmware, to restore everything to its original state. The firmware I think is available on the huawei site, look for EMUI Firmware (I'd post the link but as this is my first post xda is preventing from doing so).
Note, one thing that took me a while to figure out is that the Huawei firmware is distributed under the EMUI name (huawei's android brand I think, correct me if I am wrong). I am currently downloading this:
Version: G6-L11/G6-L22/G6-L33,kernel.tar.gz
MD5: 022A448C0D1314F69F4266DE6FEAB4F1
Size: 108.60MB
although it doesn't list the U251 model, I'll give it a shot and see if I can pull just that SystemUI.system.apk file.
Also, for anyone going through the same pain of searching for this firmware or information on updates for the G6 - find the Huawei Ascend G6 group on facebook. It's quite active and seems to have good info on updates for the Ascend G6 (there is another post on xda pointing you to it).
Good luck and thanks.

Hello,
The question is in the title.
First some background on Smartisan OS:
Smartisan OS is an Android-based smartphone platform developed by Chinese company Smartisan.[1] It is a custom ROM for smartphones and potentially tablet devices.

So there are Smartisan devices/phones and custom ROMs. I haven't tried any of these.
But there is also a launcher, also named Smartisan OS.
The launcher (the APK file) can be downloaded from their website.
Code:
smartisan.com/apps/launcher
It's an old version (v1.5.1) of the Smartisan launcher (not shipping with the phones I guess) but it's unique. There is nothing quite like it on Android Market / Google Play.
I tried running the Smartisan launcher in VirtualBox (Android 7) and it works.
But when I'm running the Smartisan launcher on my phone (Sony/G8441, Android 8 Oreo) it crashes (on start) every time.
It appears to be some invalid Bitmap format in OpenGL.
I'm not an Android developer by any means but this is my crash dump:

The launcher uses a lot of PNG images with transparency so I'm guessing that maybe it has the wrong config for OpenGL textures. I don't know.
Does this launcher work for you?
Is there an obvious fix (or workaround) to this problem?
Thank you!

Yes it will work
The Huawei P50 Pro is the perfect smartphone for many, if it were not for the Google services. Luckily, it is possible to install GMS on the Huawei P50 Pro! We know this because we did it. With the following method, the native Google Playstore and all Google services are installed on the chinese Huawei P50 Pro with HarmonyOS. No Gspace or other shady stuff.
In this article we will go through how we did it and ask some questions to the XDA-Community.
Note: Thanks for this tutorial to YouTuber Average Logs. Leave the man a subscribe or like if it worked for you. Also thankt to djeloy for explaining us some sad stuff about this not being compatible with Global Versions of the Huawei P50 Pro.
Requirements
chinese Huawei P50 Pro with Harmony OS
Windows PC
USB cable
Notes
Resetting the device is not necessary
In our test, no data was lost and the risk of losing data is practically non-existent. Nevertheless, making a backup beforehand is definitely a good idea!
Serious damage to the software is also not possible with these instructions. If you have problems, simply reset the device to factory settings.
On which devices does this guide work?
Theoretically, this guide works with Chinese Huawei P50 Pro smartphones with HarmonyOS 2.0 (in our case 2.0.0.272). Most likely, other devices with HarmonyOS 2.0 can also use this guide. We cannot say whether this manual also works with HarmonyOS 3.0 or Harmony OS 2.0.1. In case you have this version on your phone, you should try it out first. If it doesn't work, try to do a downgrade (HiSuite or Dload USB)
However, the manual does not work with the global version of the Huawei P50 Pro because it uses EMUI instead of HarmonyOS. According to this XDA Developers thread, it is possible to install HarmonyOS 2 on the global version of the Huawei P50 Pro without too much effort. Unfortunately this will not help you out to install GMS, because of a kernel level restriction.
But now we come to the instructions on how to install the native Google Mobile Services (GMS) including Google Playstore on the chinese Huawei P50 Pro with HarmonyOS 2.0.
Instructions
In this video you will find the current step-by-step instructions. We have tried an older tutorial, which is attached below. However, since it uses the same method and is the revised version, we are linking the new instructions directly here. Try it out.
You may see warning messages after installing, indicating that the device is not certified for Google services. In this case, there are also instructions that eliminate the messages. Just try one after the other. In our case, the messages were displayed and then disappeared after following the instructions below.
1. enter the device ID in Google:
2. reset Google Apps:
3. turn off background updates:
In the end, you should have it done: You now have the Playstore and all Google services on your Huawei P50 Pro. This is our P50 Pro:
Note: By the way, we used this guide, which is a bit older. But try the one above first, as it is more detailed and deals with a few more problems.
What (doesn't) work with this guide?
After the Google Playstore is installed, you can download and update apps without any problems. The Google Play Services can also be updated.
Updating the firmware on your smartphone should also be possible without any problems. The Google Playstore will not be removed or become non-functional as a result.
Google Firebase push notifications do not work. These are used by Gmail, eBay Classifieds, ebay, Twitter, Discord, Outlook, Microsoft Teams. These apps work but do not display notifications.
Google Pay is also not usable with this guide. However, the Curve Card is a good alternative. The LZ Play app and the Googlefier app should not be deleted after the instructions to eliminate errors that might occur later!
Collect information
Let's use the swarm intelligence. After all, we unfortunately do not have all Huawei smartphones at hand to test the manual thoroughly. We therefore pose the following open questions to the XDA community and would be very grateful for your comments:
Has anyone managed to change the European EMUI system on the Huawei P50 Pro to HarmonyOS using the guide from XDA-Developers? As explained, it should not be possible. But still it would be good to get real feedback of users who tried it.
Has anyone managed to equip another chinese Huawei smartphone or tablet with HarmonyOS with the Google Playstore using these instructions? (e.g. Huawei P50 Pocket, Mate 50 Pro).
Thanks for your help! Remember to leave your device Model (Global/China) and the HarmonyOS Version in the comments.
best regards
Joscha from Chinahandys.net
Hi bro, have a good day, i try this guide and july guide, i have jad-lx9 C432 and use Harmony 2.0.1.197 but in the step 4 when open LZPlay is in error and close app, you have ROM Usb OTG harmony 2.0.0? For this version phone
damn... Are you sure that it does not work with HarmonyOS 2.0.1? Can anybody confirm this?
The point is... I can only find 2.0.1 HOS firmwares for the Huawei P50 Pro. I nowhere saw a HOS 2.0.0 firmware to download.
i try to found 2.0.0 and never see, i have JAD-LX9, is LAMC25 or C432 is Snapdragon, but i try and try and never pass 3 step and 4 step, your harmony os version? i use 2.0.1.197
i think i need harmony 2.0.0 version for JAD-LX9 and u have AL50 and version C00, some tutorial for my version?
Non-Chinese versions can not be installed with GMS, either HARMONY or EMUI ... Basically because it blocks LZPLAY from the kernel in non-Chinese versions
Chinese versions are those ending in JAD-AL00 and some more are the Chinese .
The version of your terminal is AL-XX that Chinese version. Therefore you can have GMS, since you have no kernel level restriction.

Wow.... Can you tell me where you know this from and how sure you are regaring this information?
Also do you know some way to bypass this limitation? I'll edit the guide here if you are 100% sure it will not work on global versions
Is Android Auto working on the car tablet after using this method or not?

This is a more accurate explanation
I have a P50 Pro and a P50 pocket (with harmonyOS) both European version and as simple as doing a LOGCAT when you open LZPLAY and you will see that the SElinux kills the LZPLAY process.
The only way to make a ByPass is to be able to unlock the bootloader currently do not know how to move the google APPS with their permissions to the corresponding folders.
Now the easiest explanation ...
If you saw the comments of the videos you uploaded. In all of them you can see that there are many comments saying that these methods do not work in NON CHINESE terminals.
And if you search on youtube channels dedicated to this outside of china, such as ELOYGOMEZTV, you can find an updated list of the terminals where you can put google services currently on terminals outside of china.
Here is the list

I'm not trying to kill your post, just not to confuse users who are looking forward to having google services.

That's indeed not a good news for the European users, shame to huawei for blocking us the possibility to sideload GMS
@furiousjay Could you make a backup of your LZPLAY with the backup app and share it with me for testing. Thank you.

sorry, I don't get it. The backup App does not give me the option to backup LZPlay. I will try to do a full backup now.

Partner you have to pass me the huawei folder because the password encryption and everything goes together with the folder.
And make a copy only of LZPLAY, which is possible.
Sorry man. Please try this with the same password:
