I wanted to buy this phone but the global version is not dual-sim so I'm thinking of importing the CN version instead and install google apps on it. will I be able to change the default xiao ai assistant to google assistant? or use all the banking apps for payment using nfc? i don't wanna unlock the bootloader coz I don't wanna lose some phone capabilities.

You don't say what country you're from, no band 20, I unlocked my Chinese version to install EU ROM, everything works although it did with Chinese ROM, just install play store APK. The framework work is already installed. Google apps all working fine including gpay.

Thanks for the info.
I'm in two minds if I should buy this version.
But I do know I won't be paying the 999 euros for it.
And the other problem is that google are locking down on google store on phones with a unlocked bootloader.
And the pull down menu and other things in the menus are in Chinese.
Just thought.
With Google's SafetyNet now making an impact, it's not worth buy a mi 10 pro.

If you are going to install only gApps with the installer, well you will be able to use all the google apps. But you have to know that google pay may not work in the right way due to the new Google policy. The same as Huawei phones. And well, you won't have 4G B20 band.

I was thinking about doing this.
That was until I saw that all the top pull down menus are in chinese and you can't change them.
And loads of chinese notification popping up.
I don't have Chinese in any of my pulldown menus or notifications. Google apps, safeynet, widevine 3, etc. all work out of the box, even on the Chinese rom. However, I did replace the launcher with Nova and disabled a bunch of Xiaomi apps with XiaomiADBFastbootTools.
Now, all that said, I haven't been able to get "Ok Google" to work for me. The assistant itself seems to work and I can prompt it with a key command, but it gives me a regional error if I try to have "Ok Google" always on. Maybe it works outside of China, but it seems to be a problem with rom itself.
I also have my international payment methods binded to it no problem (safety net works) but since I'm in China I can't really test it out anywhere. It works online, but I would want to see a physical NFC transaction go through before I declare it working.

I can confidently tell you that my CN Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro works flawlessly with the Global ROM installed, and all Google Services working including Google Assistant, Google Pay, etc.
The trick I found to get the phone to pass Safety Net was switching the device fingerprint. After that Google Pay works perfectly as I just tested it at the store. Prior to updating the device fingerprint, that was the ONLY thing that didn't work.

I used a Mix Mix 2 profile and it worked. However, I just recently upgraded to MIUI 12 and lost Safety Net approval... no matter what fingerprint I use. I suspect it was Google pulling the levers in the office and I happen to catch it at the right time.

I got it working again but removing the Google Play Services and Google Pay updates reverting back to older versions. Works perfectly again!
I bought the CN model for use in Australia and can confirm that everything works using the custom from from xiaomi.eu
Without the rom it's impossible to rid yourself of all the Chinese in the OS. With it, you get better updates than the global version and safety-net passes.

Hello,
I recently bought a Chinese Redmi K30. I tried installing google apps using the installer from getapps, but the apps are out of date. So I opted to install them individually. Everything works fine except for the payment side.
My guess is something is either blocking or not connecting with the billing servers. In one game, I get an error code 200260 when I try to buy something. I get the same code when I use a Samsung S7 with no VPN.
I have clear cache and data from Google Play, Play Services, and even uninstalled everything and started again. Am I missing something?
Thank you in advanced.
Had the same issue with MIUI CN I think it's bc Google Play Protect is not certified on the device and therefore there's some app that won't be available & payment method screwed up bc of it. So I unlocked my BL, flashed MIUI.eu and my device is now Play Protect certified ?

I actually have a P30 Pro, if I buy a P40 Pro and I clone all my settings to the new P40 pro, will I have the Google services?
No, You want! I did it p30 pro to P40 pro - everything was moved BUT ring tones (custome) google chrome and wallpaper
I'm sorry, but I'm not getting if it's possible or not.
Did you were able to have Google play store in the p40? Gmail? Youtube? Maps?

Huawei support told me the same, you can have couple apps, but not the whole package.

May be a Xiaomi Mi 10 pro?

My friend did it: installed Google Play Store/Services on P40 Pro. You can not clone from P30 Pro -> P40 Pro to get Google works
After cloning, will Google Pay work? That is, will the phone pass safetynet test?
I have install google gms on my p40 pro, then used phone-clone from my p30 pro. All apps except g-pay works. Maps, contacts, calendar, drive, the lot. Even my banking app and bankid on mobile.
Just not g-pay but I can live without that one ??
When I try to add a card g-pay states that I have root access or that the phone has been otherwise altered ?

Can i ask which banking apps are working for you? I am getting mine tomorrow and trying to decide if its better installing gsm first, then clone. Or the other way around
It is Norwegian bank apps.
I have tried both approach, gms then phone-clone and vice versa.
My experience is that gms on a "empty" phone works best.
Obviously, the phone fails Android SafetyNet Test. You can search in Play Store and download an app to test yours out.
update
Confirm! Updated to .114 yesterday, all Google stuff work as it did.
personally me google play music doesn't work
So, does the phone pass Android SafetyNet Test now? Can check please?
I don't know about safetynet stuff, but my Gpay is working fine.
Did 2 purchases to date, both worked on first try.
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]

Does the Mi 10 Ultra pass SafetyNet? Aka use Google Pay, McDonalds, Pokémon Go.
And if so, how come the Mi 10 passes but the P40 Pro does not (despite both phones coming without GMS preinstalled)?
I have the phone
Security level is L1
Saftey net is as global phone
Google services is running as any global phone..100% no issue with me even in downloading all my bought apps
The only issue is that Google backup and restore is not working and Google Location History is not working. The rest all work fine, Google Pay, maps, play store, etc. on the stock china miui 12 rom of course.
Oops, had a typo. Meant to ask:
How come the Mi 10 Ultra passes but the P40 Pro does not (despite both phones coming without GMS preinstalled)? Neither phone is officially available outside China, so I doubt Xiaomi took the time to Google Certify the Mi 10 Ultra. Where does certification come from?
P40 Pro does not come with GMS pre-installed thanks to Trump.
Trump has banned Google from exporting software and licenses to Huawei, so huawei is legally not allowed to install GMS in their OS, even if not activated.
The last Huawei phone with GMS pre-installed is the P30 Pro.
P40 Pro is also available outside China in many regions with HMS instead.
On the other hand, MIUI comes with GMS pre-loaded inside all their China ROMs as well and also Google certified.
It's just not activated, and even if you activate it in China, it will not work due to the Great China Firewall blocking all GMS.
But once the phone is out of China, that's a different story, we just need to install Play Store and all GMS get activated auto-magically.
Some features are not working great as the China rom still have some tiny blocks, notably Google Location History and Backup and Restore.

If a license from Google to Huawei is all that's required. Why don't they just work around it? Can't Google just release the blob of GMS (I understand releasing the source is probably not a good idea) as freeware that doesn't require a license?
Also, what does Xiaomi use in China if not GMS or HMS?
So have you managed to install Netflix successfully and make payments with Google pay?
Thanks!

Google Pay is installed directly from the Play Store. I have use apk mirror for Netflix and Prime Video as that was not available on play store.
Netflix absolutely works. Someone who said it doesn't either doesn't know about side loading or did something wrong. You just have to download the apk from somewhere other than the play store. Works fine.

Try changing NFC setting default wallet to "Use HCE Wallet"
It feels like I've watched every video and read every article on the internet to try to get Google apps onto this phone (HarmonyOS 2.0).
I've got some of the apps to work but not all. For example "SoundCloud won't run without Google Play services, which are not supported by your device."
I've tried Googlefier but it seems I can't downgrade the firmware to get it to work.
@Archibald1963's videos about OurPlay have been the most promising, but I'm still stuck.
Any and all suggestions are most welcome!
Harmony 2.0 if I'm not mistaken is huawei's no google software, created after the woman got kidnapped and held for ransom by canada for usa, leading to any of the three eyes (old 5 eyes nations) banning huawei devices from a certain date. Yeah some apps will work, but it's actually designed to block google, in retaliation, the uk banned huawei.
Strange how talktalk routers are huawei, even the latest... EE use them too!
It was created for those who want rid of googles spying. This MAY cause your problems.
I dumped huawei when they decided to stop unlocking bootloaders, and never followed up in that direction, but will keep tabs here in case old huawei knowledge is required..
Android apps run without problems if they do not require google services. All videos for native installation of gms currently do not work on the P50 Pro.
I myself use GSpace and VMOS Pro and Youtube Vanced with microG. The notifications work fine, my banking app does not work.
In this video from link below is said that googlefier works after an update of Harmony 2.0.0.35. Can someone confirm this?

Nope. Huawei locked the bootloader, so that there will be no custom mod available for this global version. What is so annoying that this phone system relies on Gspace in order to google based app to work. For mobile banking and e-wallet apps, this is dangerous because lack of security, and Gspace also unstable and causing temperature rise during use.

On Mate40 pro I use 2 local banking applications (one of them for NFC payment), plus Curve (strictly for NFC payment).
Banking applications require installation from the App gallery.
Curve, for example, only works if installed from the App gallery.

Some banking applications only work if they are installed from the App gallery.
That's why I said that the App gallery should be the first store used.
If these apps work if installed from Aurora, that's a bonus.

In my experience most apps are the same in both stores. Writing an app that uses native android api as opposed to either GMS or HMS is a lot easier than maintaining two android builds.
I couldn't use my local banking app until they put it in the App gallery, even though it was in the other app stores.
I'm talking about an app that worked perfectly on GMS phones, but didn't work on GMS-free phones, found in all other app stores, not in the App gallery too.
Also introduced in the App gallery, it worked perfectly on phones without GMS.
