hi im planning to order a find x2 pro on wondamobile in the future but i want to ask if by them sideloading google playstore does it has the same problem like huawei mate 30 and p40 regarding gms?
Wonda ships all phones with Google Play store installed. They install it themselves. I don't think it will have the same problem as the Huawei phones regarding GMS. Huawei doesn't want you to use GMS, so people who want to use Google services most likely have to find new methods to install them after each new update. Other Chinese brands probably don't care.
I used to have a Chinese model of a Xiaomi phone and I'm pretty sure it didn't have Google Play Store installed out of the box, I had to install it myself and I had no issues whatsoever. Everything worked fine.

Hi, Forum
I bought a brand new p30 from China and I live in USA. I am super happy with the phone overall. However, I found out that
1. I can't play pokemon go. I think it's due to it failed saftenet test api. I downloaded various saftenet test app, they all failed.
2. I can't download netflix. based on netflix's own troubleshoot guide, I found out that my play store is not play protect certified.
3. I can't use google pay. in the last step of the google pay setup, it complained my phone was maybe rooted, thus can not use google pay.
After some extensive research, I think it's due to the "china version" of the phone.
Anyway to remediate this? those 3 apps, specially pokemon go and netflix are 2 of my most used apps.
I am open to root or flash rom. but can't find any instructions regarding p30 yet.
thanks a lot!

Hi fellows,
recently I've got a chinese P30 ELE-AL00 as a present. I spent a lot of time trying to enable the google services, installing varios APKs like Google Services Framework, Google Play Services, Google Play, Contact sync, ... and even though everything is installed and all permissions are given, things are still not fully working. E.g. I cannot get Family link to work, as the device is intended to be used by my kid.
It appears that Huawei has somehow locked/crippled the Android on the ELE-AL00 version to prevent re-googl'ification. Since there is currently no way to unlock the boot loader I wonder if its possible to flash an international firmware, such as ELE-L29/ELE-L09 or ELE-L04 where re-googl'ification is supposed to work. The device is currently on EMUI 10.1 . Has anyone ever tried this?
Alternatively, is there any documented way to fully re-googl'ify a P30 ELE-AL00?
Thanks,
cr1spie.

I am using same version as yours with Google play services pre-installed.
Unfortunately I also asked many devs about installing global variant but the answer is No and the device will be bricked.
Huawei p30 doesn't allow me to access Google assistant instead of Hivoice as default and can't install any third party Launchers due to Chinese variant restrictions.
I am using this device with a few compromises and I am happy with it. [emoji4]

Google Play Store app only works as expected if GMS Core got installed before.

Its been 2 years 6 months that I bought Huawei P40 pro and not getting a suitable new phone from Huawei yet. P40 pro still running superb after installing the GMS. I tried to go without google service but had to install GMS due to poor availability of apps in Apps Gallery such as banking apps, mobile wallets etc.
Am waiting to see a rich Apps Gallery customised based on region and country so that customers can comfortably use Huawei's fantastic phones they bring in. If not then I strongly suggest to have google services to satisfy customers like me
Hi, I'm a college student and i recently saved up and bought a Nova 9 (NAM-LX9) and have been finding a way to get harmony on it. My main goal for bbuying a huawei was to test and use harmonyos and it took a while for me to get it with the US sanctions and all. I read up a bunch and was wondering if there is any method for this. Most forums i saw were older and for other devices however I did see some people managed it but just said they did with no explantion. Would love to figure this out or it'll be $300 down the drain lol. Thank you!
Actually Nova 9 phones run EMUI 12, what is Harmony OS 2.0.0, AFAIK.
You can install Google Play Store on this phone as shown here
