[GUIDE][5.0+][TESTING] Enable Instant Apps

What are Instant Apps?
Check out at Android Developers Website
How to enable them?
First make sure you meet the following requirements:​
Android Lollipop 5.0+ Device
Any Activity Launcher
Latest Play Store (Check through Play Store>Settings>Play Store Version)
Latest Play Services(Dont worry, Updates are automatically installed)
A working BRAIN!
Then follow these steps:​
Launch the activity com.google.android.finsky.instantapps.SettingsActivity
Select an account for Instant Apps
Follow the on-screen instructions
Let Google Play Services for Instant Apps download and install
Open Google Play Services(Lollipop:Through Launcher Icon, Marshmallow:Settings>Google)
Tap on Instant Apps and check if they are enabled
How can I use Instant Apps?
Search for an Instant App, say, Wish(more are given in the Android Devs Website), and see if there is written Instant. If there is, then tap on it to use it.
Why the title says "TESTING"?
They aren't available in my location. I haven't tested( and tasted) one yet.
I can't see Instant written in the card
They are probably not available in your country. Be sure to check if they work on MM+ and share the report with me.
I just enabled Instant Apps on my device. What now?
Play around with some Instant Apps and don't forget to press that Thanks :good: button.​

LZPlay IS NOT working anymore - NO MORE GMS

Hello,
As you guys maybe already aware of that, LZPlay website and the app as been shuting down. For people who already have downloaded the app, don't try it now, it won't work.

I hope Huawei will find a way soon for us (and me) to install and enjoy GMS.

I just hope they find a way, otherwise this phone will surely be doomed.
The only solution, i think will be to unlock the bootloader. Or maybe @duraaraa and his team will find a solution...

It's fake.

Might it be possible to use the techniques inside of LZplay app to get root access (install magisk) to P30pro?

The site is, but the Youtube video isn't.
Really doubt the apk in the video description would work. I don't think that tool is latest and can handle Mate 30 series

and the video gone private so i dunno

I can't get it to work!
When restoring using HiSuite, it responds with "Failed to restore".
I'm on build 10.0.0.134 of EMUI - could this be the problem? Is that the build that others have had success with?

1. Check your drivers and make sure they're all installed properly
2. Make sure you use the provided cable
3. Need to have a Sim card inside and also logged into huawei account
4. USB debugging needs to be turned on and also the hisuite USB access.
Had the same issue too and doing all the above plus a a reboot or two and it worked fine after that. Firmware versions doesn't effect it.

Hi, plan on this phone as my daily driver so I will probably runs anything on it, including sensitive banking and security apps, I have saw lots not recommending using this method as it opened up some loopholes (i.e. Google SafetyNet failed), any source or research being done that pointed out any insecurity of using such method? (i.e. Prone to information leaking, etc.)
Thank you in advance. Great community!

P40 Pro comes without Google Services no matter the region.
All methods to install anything Google are not supported officially.

Recovery/Custom

Hi, I'm new to Huawei and kinda regret my choice..
I have looked through all the stuff regarding GMS and have managed to flash ok
I don't get the services working though but can use apps...some that is, the ones without GMS.
Will we be getting a custom recovery at all? I would love to change this EMUI crap.
I apologise if this has been asked...but as everyone can see, it's the big something thats missing.

GMS wont work with the new Security Patches.. What you can do is u can download Auora Store... Has Most of Google play store Apps..
Just remember Google apps wont work.
Some apps also may not work cause they Google API independed..

vmos works pretty well with emulating google apps.
