Hey guys!
Got my hands on the P40 Pro last Tuesday - the hardware is undoubtedly gorgeous and I've managed to get 99% of my Apps working...
I read you can use PetalSearch from the AppGallery to source Apps from multiple different sources. However, there's been a few times when I've been overjoyed to find an APK, but left dissapointed once downloaded, as they've been GMS based. Insight Timer is one example...
Anyway to filter these out to make finding my top App APKs easier? (HMS)

Well Huawei have a 4 layer security so when you install from Petal search it does scan and check that the app is secure, How are you getting on with the phone?

It's not so much the security, I'll find an APK via PetalSearch, download it, and it's a GMS based App so still doesn't work... There's gotta be a way to filter out what will and wont work, right?

App gallery has meditation apps in it or petal search will no doubt have many others to pick from that are not GMS. For me it's all about understanding that HMS has alternatives to GMS based applications. I haven't really found anything I can do on the phone. Is there anything else you've had difficulty with?

To be fair, I was pretty impressed with what went across via PhoneClone the first time! The meditation apps available from AppGallery are pretty naff at the moment, HOWEVER I've just used PhoneClone for a second time to bring Calm across... Can confirm it DOES work - It's more popular than Insight Timer, so maybe I'll stop being a little app hipster and get with the times

I think phone clone is the saving grace for Huawei, it does near enough all the leg work!
I am trying to get used to petal search now. I've found it really good so far. I haven't had any experience of apps not working via it yet?

haha, i have heard of Calm before, apparently its good if your in to that sort of thing. Im glad you've found a work around for this app. How are you finding the phone?
petal search is probably the best thing to use for all apps, everything you need should be on there with no issues.

not quite sure what you are asking but if its whether its realisable, its been spot on for me :good:
From my use you cant filter them out however it does say before clicking an app that it may not work which suggests it may be GMS based.
I've been using it for a few days now and i feel that it is pretty good. Most things i have not have any issues with, You might get a message saying that you cannot use it without google services. Then it still works any way.

I agree this is my concern shall we say I use Power Director App for work quite a lot and got excited to say the least when I saw it was available on Petal Search but once downloaded the app itself does not load and reboots to the home screen, no bigger for now as I am WFH but will eventually need.

hi guys. i have been searching the market for a good workout log. some are okay but some are bad. i cant find that one good one. i want one that would just let me write down the name of the exercise (not just pick one from a list that probably doesnt have my workout like in other apps), how many reps and the weight and keep it saved. also i want it to be like a calendar type of log to put in the logs of the days that i work out. is there such an app? any links or barcodes to similar apps would be appreciated to try out
Runkeeper ? Not good for you ?
Gym Book is the best one that I've found. It's could be a lot better though.
Pen and paper.
Seriously. There's nothing on android right now that is any good. Bodybuilding.com is working on an app right now but its not out yet.

yea i got the apk from here cuz i used to have it, wiped my phone and when google brought all my apps back, it left out that one. looked in the market but nothing. and then someone else told me their website was down...weird...but yea i got mens health and body fitness as references for different workouts and routines. i have tried work it out and workout coach and they both suck. so far gymbook is the best for logging in workouts but it still lacks the calendar logging feature which i think is important to keep proper track of your workouts. oh well this will do for now

Sorry for digging an old thread but it's what I need.
All the suggestions here whether discontinued or aren't that good.
I just need a simple, calendar type app that allows me to record my exercises. Any ideas?
I tried A LOT of apps on the market, but they're too complicated for my simple requirements.

I seem to recall an app that used your camera to map an environment
so that it would capture it in all of its 3d glory. I've searched and searched
and wonder what happened to it?
Does anyone remember?

Hey man thanks for the effort, but it's not it.
It might have been a BB app (former Storm 1 user here)
What it did was you took pictures and essentially recreated the environment.
The floor, the ceiling, from and back, left and right walls were captured, and
what you would do is drag the next picture and attach it to the previous one
and before you knew it you had a pretty faithful recreation of the room you were in...
My old age memory!
I believe I've seen Google Goggles do it. It was on some picture ad and I downloaded the app, and couldn't figure out how to get to that one feature.
Layar?

ot, but you know it occurs to me that this is a flaw with the way apps are handled currently between the phone and watch. so if i want multiple watch faces, say a dozen or so, i'll need to install 12 different watch face apps permanently on my phone? that would royally suck. there should be a way to be able to install, have the dedicated wear app go to the watch, and then just delete the app from the phone.

Hey all.
Interesting thought, after my last post. Isit easier to have multiple apps for downloading APK's or 1 app created by Huawei called Petal Search, I was hoping for feedback on the last post but it went a bit south. To me it seems an easier experience to have only the one app searching for it all? Whats your thoughts?

I guess it depends how good you are on tech etc....Its good to have one place to find everything but some maybe super used to going through Aptoide, APKPure
It will be a help for those using HMS handset for the 1st time.
I have a P40 Pro and use petal search. Don't bother with anything else now.
Couldn't care less if I had Google or not as I only used it for the Internet, occasional map and downloading apps - like 2 a month max.
I phone cloned my apps and those that wouldn't come across I used app gallery. Was frustrating when they weren't on there but stumbled across petal search now use that and it's all good!

I imagine if I gave my mother a handset with AppGallery and Petal search, she would easily manage with no confusion, however if I gave her a phone with 5,6,7 different app stores, she wouldn't have a clue. It reduces the option of choice to make it simpler.

I have been loving petal search, combined with phone clone ive managed to get everything over, however, I do want to point out im not a heavy app user. I will download apps like once a month and I update it when it needs updating if ive found its starting to glitch out!!
Petal search o me means I don't really touch appgallery, if its not on petal search I go through MoreApps and its usually on there!

to be honest the new Non-google range may not be for that type of customer, possibly try one of Huaweis older handsets with Google still installed and you'll get it at a really good price atm

I haven't missed any apps on Aurora .. and it is the most polished interface fwiw.
still suggest that you install .. apkpure appstore, aptoide appstore, aurora appstore .. and have a play with each, then decide.

Good question, I'm thinking of a P40 Pro and whilst Im happy with not having google im wondering how secure the apps are that dont come from Huaweis own app store.
I'd assume that they must have put some kind of security measures in place when openly dealing with 3rd part APK sites.

Hey there! I've been using a P40 Pro for a month or so now and I haven't had any issues with Petal Search. When you install an app it says it's scanning it so I think it's secured by the device software itself. If anyone else knows more though feel free to correct me!
