Stock sms app? - Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers

Is there a way to extract it from the p40 pro? I don’t see much info out there on Huawei's stock sms app. I would like to use it on another Huawei phone that has google services on it.

You could use APK analyzer and then use the export APK command.

Hi,
Give this a try. Just extracted the .apk myself, let me know if it works: https://mega.nz/file/Ic53AQZQ#Nnuo6oHDTzVkFTjfIKQtz_kxUnWaFTtxxL5p7ooFNZQ

You probably can try the Huawei Phone Clone app, but now launch the app in reverse on both of your phones, and select only the SMS app to be copied over.

I had it in the emui 9.1 (mate 20x) but dare not go back after having managed to update to 10.1. I thought I had a backup - will look for it and report back if I find it.
It was theme-able as well (i.e themes actually could work on it)

Native Huawei covers pretty much everything except Wi-Fi. If you don't have root it's very convenient.

You mean the hisuite? Or the backup/recovery tool built in the phone? My phone is not rooted.
The stock Backup app is also great.

No, it's Huawei Backup. You should have it installed on your phone and available at Google Play.

Try the Huawei Phone Clone app. It uses WiFi direct to transfer apps, media, messages and more from one device to another.

Both of them are good in backup.
I would go with Huawei backup and keep a copy as I always do. That way if something goes wrong I have a copy outside any device I'm fiddling with.
SHAREit also has data cloning capabilities.

Themes Store

I'm coming from a Huawei P9 Lite, and I loved about it the many themes there were available for donwloading, but now, in my Honor 8, when I enter to THEMES, it only shows Local Themes, there's not any option to download ...
Is there a problem with my phone, Huawei does not has this option for Honor? Or what?
Thanks already to those who can provide me information or solutions.
You have to have your Huawey account set on the phone (maybe the HiCare as well but I don't remeber).
Than you can download themes from the app called "Themes"
Thanks. I'll try that. But What I noticed is my phone doesn't have Huawei ID pre-installed nor Hicloud and Hicare... Will see if it's possible to install it or not...
Are you able to download themes?

You can apply themes from developers here though. Like MaterialVUI.

Yes I am able to download them:
From the settings you should be able to sign into your Huawei account (there is a menu optoin for that).
That's exactly how it was on my Huawei p9 lite, but can't manage to do it in my Honor 8, last question, what themes app version (or build) do you have? Thanks again.
Can you guys upload the apk. Needed to have this working... Thank you

Did you set your phone number? The only difference what I see right now from the screenshots that you have your email adress and I have my phone number (and secondarily my email) paired to my account.
I used my email address, so I don't think it could be that. Maybe if you try and force close the theme app, clear all the data etc.
Go to settings > apps > and select the themes app
I'm having the same problem and i recently discovered that themes store is not available in US versions:

Ok,good news here @danymart94
I finally found a solution
Get this app from play store
It's called EMUI tweaker:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teammt.gmanrainy.emuitweaker
Now, from the list hit Disable online theme, by default it's turned on
Just switch it off by hitting the toggle then head to the Themes app,
Launch it then your themes app will show a disclaimer now hit ok...
Tada ... online themes are just between your hands.

[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.
Source : https://www.androidcentral.com/hidden-apis-huawei-mate-30-allow-backdoor-install-google-apps
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...

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!
