Hey all,
I've successfully installed GMS using the method described on Youtube.
I've also frozen Google Services Framework using IceBox to enable push notification.
Now here is the last piece of puzzle: Google Maps Timeline doesn't work! With all possible GPS settings already turned on, Timeline is empty. As If I'm at home all the time.
Anybody had the same issue with the TimeLine?
Many thanks!
Slava
had u tried this?

I had the same problem. Just re-enable google services framework. Push notifications will stay good and working but the annoying google play protect notifications will begin. Just slide let on the notification, go to settings and select Play Protect and turn it off.
You will now have push notifications working, nfc payments working, and no annoying notifications.

Its a small price to pay, no timeline but full push notifications.
I use the Huawei multitool v8 (XDA) to disable gsf from my pc rather than icebox. Easier to use and it survives reboots. If i need Playstore, just enable it and disable after.

Do gps absed apps work fine after freezing gsf? Correct me if imwrong but the only draw back is lack of Google Play (paid apps if anything, since we can use alt stores)
Yes, other GPS apps are fine, its just the Google timeline that doesn't work or Playstore. I have 3 gps app screenshots attached and they all sow my location, maps, waze and here we go.

Thats perfect, i assume Uber works too? I can live without timeline tbf (though i wonder if timeline updates are captured if we re-enable gsf?), do the photos themselves store the gps information succesfully in the Huawei gallarey app? And i guess there are no issues if we reenable the service through the multi tool? Sorry about the million questions
Yes, Uber works as does the photo location, see below screenshots.
If you enable gsf for any reason, just disable it again after. I have had no problems but there was a report that someone did but i don't know if the disabled it again or what the circumstances were.

Very helpful, thank you again. Initially the lack of notificaitons wasnt an issue, but i kept on missing stuff every now and then, and its annoying to remember to open my key apps a few times a day to be notified correctly! i.e ebay, twitter, discord etc.

]I don't get notifications from alot of apps. I have side loaded Google services, stopped battery optimisation for apps and manual launch as well. But still not getting notified from alot of apps.
Turns out the reason is that the device is not registered for FCM. That's why none of the apps that use fcm for push notifications come through. Scratching my head as to how to resolve this. Any ideas are welcome.
I installed GMS by the LZplay method last year and have had no problems with notifications except late outlook notifications.

I have the same problem, but everything works other than that, but I can't get instant notifications, especially news, sport and some email apps. This has nothing to do with the app's battery optimization.
We need to find a solution to this.

I solved it by removing that google app mess I formatted the phone and left it without google and everything works beautifully. Google must be forgotten if you still haven't understood.

The question is, if we dont sideload google services at all, and install news apps and etc from another apk source, would they still rely on FCM and google for push notifications?

Of course the problem is that when with this method 1 you install the google service framework and the google play service are their cause of the problem because the device is really locked even though it looks like the oaly store etc etc and is blocked by google. The only one that has the working method perhaps is phan phi with method 2 where he managed to create a game console as account management to access without problems with certification...... But it doesn't give the method
I have the same question. I don't know how to solve this problem.
Has anyone found a solution for this? :/ Seems like there's a flaw in this new method of installing GMS. The method before didn't have this issue... Hope someone can come up with a fix soon other than having to use ice box to freeze Google framework...
That is the solution of the notification problem:

It's always the same method icebox style, non difference. We can use PlayStore with this method and on AuroraStore we can buy app and signing with our google account is dangerous cause this last can be banned. Not a good method. We need a real solution, a real certification.
Is it possibile freeze and de-frost system app directly from this app without using every time adb with a pc and without root?
I mean if i give to it Admin permission is there this possibility?

as you know Huawei banned by Google so go for another phone if you want perfect GMS then, as US still banned Huawei and put it in the blacklist so never buy Huawei Phone.

Hi, from where you checked whether notifications are ok or not. I mean is there any app. Because i am also observing weird things about notifications
I use the push notifications app and also the outlook help file app
I can say that whitout google service and google push notification i didnt get notifications for skype, discord, steam, and most email apks tjst use google push notifications. So im forced to install it, also i block google framework so playstore doesent work but notifications work, sometime they stuck i reboot phone and they work again. With unfreezed google framework playstore work but notifications not... I dont need google framework, i remove all my google apks, i use edge instead chrome, omedrive photo instead google photo etc etc... But mu notifications doesent work even on factory reset phone... Except viber but he is instslled from huawei store.
I found a way to get Push Notification working without the Icebox app and freezing Google frame services.

After using your walkthrough on YouTube I can use Google play store, however, I no longer get notifications for anything at all. Only thing I get is a few Gmail email notifications then after that nothing. It's like it fails push notifications after the first few Gmail ones it pushes.
Needless to say, an OS that doesn't push notifications on a phone is not usable. Any ideas?

if the push notification enable then the Uncertified POP UP will never stop occurs. until today still no cure for Push Notification

I see. Well, when the notification was occurring for me, I just dragged the message to the left in the notification pane and said disable notifications. Is that not possible? Can I just disable the notification and still be able to use Google play? Like, stop the process at step 7 or 8, disable notifications on just play store issues and then let it be?

Any one knows why lz-play is not working at P40 Lite 5G?
I used to have my Google working on my Huawei perfectly, until I accidentally pressed the wrong button and all was uninstalled.
Now I had tried your method a few times. But every time I got stucked at the same part, where we were to add the Google accounts.
When I try to add the existing Google account, it always show Google connection error. Cannot connect to Google server. I tried restarting and force stopping or anything, I still cannot go pass this step. Cannot add Google account.
Can somebody tell me or teach me? If anyone had this problem and had solved it.
Tolong tolong
Sorry if it was explained elsewhere, but I really couldn't find it:
I managed to install GMS. Is there anything I should avoid (other than deleting google account or reseting the phone) to keep it running?
For example:
- Can I safely update any apps or services or will updating a Google Store or something mess everything up?
- Are there any apps I should avoid, eg. some security, system management or antivirus apps?
Yes many apk notifications doesent work. Stopping google framework and reboot phone will enable notifications back but u cant use play store. So use aurora.
Hi firlando, Could you please share how to install GMS for huawei nova 7 se
Yes

Hello everyone,
I'm using P40 Pro. I installed GMS before 3 weeks, it's working good for me. I don't get any GMS error notifications I did software update it's still working.
But I have problems with apps notifications, I don't get notifications for like:
-Twitter
-LinkedIn
-Workplace
-Spark mail
-Other apps
Battery opt. it's not a problem, I think it's a main problem with GMS.
I would like to know if there is anyway to get all notifications working normally? I don't want to use AuroraStore or freeze my GMS.
Or it's better to get back on stock HMS and use ACMarket, Apptoide, etc. to get my notifications working 100%?
Thank you.

Notifications are broken for many apps with HMS-naked install .. so it is far from 100%.
I am using HMS+microG and it fixes notifications with many apps ... but not all unfortunately ... maybe 60%
1. HMS-naked (broken notifications)
2. HMS+microG (notification fix – generally ok)
3. HMS+GMS (for google apps and broken notifications)
4. HMS+GMS+icebox (for google apps and notifications)

Download & install Huawei multi-tool on your computer: https://pro-teammt.ru/en/multi-tool-huawei-honor/
Connect your Huawei to your PC and open the multi tool.
Go to the "Modifications" tab
In "Disabling/enabling applications" just disable com.google.android.gsf
And that's it.

Why S20 Ultra 5G? That thing has so many issues with exynos and camera autofocus.
I got my Gmail working fine on my Outlook.
I'm a bit confused why some people get different results from GMS HMS + icebox
I'm pretty happy with the 2 setups, the only annoying thing is when I need to update my apps on aurora store it's not automatic. I have to grant install one by one ?

gmail isn't gonna work so use "Outlook" app or something else and add your gmail account there. Works great for me.
Playstore isn't gonna work if you freeze Google services Framework. Obviously. You gonna have to use Aurora Store or Apk Pure. The point of this operation (freezing GSF) is to get notifications working. I had problems with notifications when having BOTH Huawei Mobile Services AND GSF.
Android auto works?

Too bad, i'd rather used Playstore due to purchases that i made using it. I would rather not having notification to avoid the hassle with in-app purchase issue
If you freeze gsf with MT8 and unfreeze it, are there any problems. I tried something like that, I had icebox installed too, and after unfreeze at 6AM in the morning I've got a train of non-stop notification that my device is not certified by google.
Was that a side effect of freezing or just my playing with the services too much?
@sheikgr is right. But I did it slightly different, before unfreezing in icebox i opened Google Play Store - From the left menu i choose Play Protect and I turn off that function at all. Then i did unfreeze. Gmail/Maps, GPS itself.. all works fine.
But if true is what @madmack is claiming, i think its better to keep services freezed and simply to use bluemail/outlook instead of gmail. Because even if gmail is showing notification its always informs much much later than it should

Hi, I have a problem with some location based app, like Tripadvisor, after unfreezing: in place of the map, I get the message "Play services are updating" and the app can't get position.
If I freeze, some apps ask to enable high precision positiong by google and can't get position as well.
Did you experience these bugs? Thx

Hi,
Short story - I cannot freeze or disable google framework services
long. I installed google services on my device without knowing about icebox when I've got it. A few days ago a made the time to reset and start over(factory reset) and try the new version of installing google services but first I made sure to install Icebox and set it as owner (with the idea to freeze google framework services after I am done).
But Icebox cannot freeze it, I froze the huawei update service (to stop a stupid carrier update) so the app works.
I also tried Multi Tool 8, it sets gfs as frozen, but the service is still running ( I even get the Enable button in setting - apps) and play store is running as normal.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I have gfs frozen for the moment, I didn't unfreeze it to see if I get the google not certified.
I use Aurora Store to update, it works well.
Maps with timeline works.
Contact sync doesn't work, even manual sync fails, something went wrong when I installed google services, last install worked well, now it just fails.
I don't use Gmail, (use stock app - feeding data to huawei:silly - email with gmail have a delay.
I want to move away from integrated services like google backup or huawei and use third party - I was trying Backup Your Mobile -Artur Jaszczyk - but after a few runs it fails to start the daily autobackup even with battery optimizations set. I also failed to restore some contacts and sms after a wipe, had to use an older backup.
Still looking for a good backup third party solution (I miss titanium back that ran like clockwork on my S6)
A few days later, yes, freezing gsf will f**k up things, maps will stop working, some google apps will not update from aurora store, and unfreezing gsf will make app store start giving you non stop notifications that your phone is not certified.
Contact sync with google is not working any more (sync error), this will be the fifth wipe in 2 months. Samsung Note20 Ultra is looking nicer by the minute (can you still root those S20, N10 ?)

Freeze again GSF. Go to Aurora Store and update Google Play Services. Unfreeze GSF. Restart.
Everything will work perfectly, push notifications, banks, location, everything. You will only get those Play certified notifications(which are different from the other that say "require an action"). You disable them and you have a 99.99% perfect phone.
Also if contacts sync doesn't work then just install again the contactssync.apk(after clearring cache,data and uninstalling the old one).
*Finally, everytime you open Maps it will say "you don't have play services" but you just press ok and everything works fine.
Thanks for the info,
Fixed the contacts syncing app (Uninstalled and reinstall worked - only tried to clear cache before)
I froze GSF again, the only minor thing now is map timeline (sometimes it works) but I can live with out it.
Later edit - contracts tried to sync but failed.

I have a problem with apps which use Maps to show map inside them: these apps can get the map they need and there's the message "Play services are updating" in place of the map itself. One example is Tripadvisor, which can't show the map of a restaurant location nor get position.
Does this "Freeze. Update services. Unfreeze. Restart" solve this? Can you try and see if tripadvisor shows maps or can get position?
Thx

Yes If i freeze I get notifications
Hey guys,
So I sideloaded GMS on my p40 pro with redskull's instructions on youtube and didn't have notifications after that. Then used Multi tool 8 to disable gsf and then enable it again. Notifications came back, but location services aren't working correctly. In google maps, I have my location, but no arrow on the blue dot, so I can't see which direction I'm facing. Other apps that use google's location services don't work at all, they stall at "google play services are updating".
Is there a way to get location services in other apps working?
Thanks in advance!
disable Google Services Framework then works.
Thanks for your reply. I did that and it worked.
So now the play store isn't working. Are there any other disadvantages by disabling gsf?
If you need Playstore -> activate gsf then deactivate again
I don't know what sideload meant, nor why would you disable anything, but on my P40 I got maps and notifications working. I used another guide.

please link this guide here.
Any idea why Gmail notifications aren't working after disabling gfs?

While we wait that @stewakg posts mentioned guide, disabling GSF still does not work for applications like Tripadvisor which require Google location precision to work. Such applications continously ask to enable Google precision and do not acquire position.
Any solution for this?
I am sorry all for late response.
This is guide I have used. I got European model bought in Germany. I have maps, play store with pay(can buy apps and games) and notifications.
Also I'd that helps, I got YouTube Vanced and microG installed.
Hope this will help someone. Cheers.

Did you find a solution to this? I have many regional specific apps that don't want to work. They have similar failures as you're describing after loading GMS/GSF. My problematic apps are Lyft/Bay Wheels and Gig Car Share.

No sorry. I have no solution for this.
The best thing is with GSF disabled for me: i will not use location in tripadvisor but I will survive.
I understand that for you is not that good but I hope for a real solution.

Freeze again GSF. Go to Aurora Store and update Google Play Services. Unfreeze GSF. Restart.
I tried and locations work but I still get "Play Services are updating" in apps where a map is supposed to show, like Tripadvisor. So I can see the map which is important too. Can you try this and let me know? Thx

Okay, I got the apps I needed working with Google Maps integrated in them. Maybe this will work for you. (I am still having issues with notifications for many apps with GMS installed.)
I have a C636 variant running 10.1.0.131. I started by following Redskull's guide here: https://youtu.be/4vki3DasrYc
That mostly went fine. The Play Store was still a bit buggy and I was still getting lots of notifications about running Play Services on a non-certified device.
Once I installed everything I needed from the Play Store, I then used Multitool to disable Google Services Framework (com.google.android.gsf). While GSF is disabled the Google Play Store does not work, as most of your know. Google Maps integrations work in all of the apps I've tried so far: Lyft, Bay Wheels, Gig Car Share, Lime, Bird, Revel, Zipcar, Getaround, Flywheel, Transit, Swarm/Foursquare, and Yelp.
Notably, Spin does not work. It keeps telling me "For a better experience turn on device location, which uses Google's location services" and no matter if I hit No Thanks or OK, it keeps popping up over and over again making the app unusable. Bay Wheels has a separate bug where it cannot access the camera to unlock a bike, but it gives the option to enter the bike number instead so it's not a big issue. QR unlock works with Lime. That's all I've tested so far though.
Google Location Services does not work
No matter how you got GMS onto your Huawei Phone / Tablet that doesn't come with GMS, no matter what workaround you use to get everything working (i.e freezing GSF to get push notifications working), there doesn't appear to be any solution for GLS. It simply doesn't work. Any app that relies on it exclusively is broken. For instance Google Location Sharing, or Google Timeline. Probably others, but those are the ones I use the most. Google Maps, Waze, and other navigation apps will just use your GPS to get your location (which doesn't work if you're in an enclosed building with no view of the satellites). You can try to turn it on: Settings->Location->Location Services->Google Location Accuracy->Improve Location Accuracy, but it will turn itself off shortly.
My timeline works fine and "improve location accuracy" was on by default when I just checked. I even turned it off and on again and it stays on.
Mine works as well as does location sharing.

OK, that's great. Maybe you could tell me how you accomplished that? A working Google Location Services is probably the last thing I need to get going on my P40 Pro+. With GSF frozen, "improve location accuracy" keeps getting disabled. If I try to share my location, I get "Location sharing isn't enabled on this device. Fix", but Fix does nothing. With GSF unfrozen, I get a never ending stream of Google Play Protection messages (which can be turned off, but I'm sure still affect the phone), I can turn on Location Accuracy, but Location Sharing still says "Location sharing isn't enabled on this device. Fix" and a message "Unable to get an accurate location" when I press Fix even with a good GPS lock.
I didn't do anything other than follow the guide from 26th sept, I don't freeze play and canceled the notifications as per the guide. I also manually manage maps rather than let it be automatic.

With Google Services Framework unfrozen, Google Play Books no longer works. And even though Location Accuracy is enabled, I still get the ""Location sharing isn't enabled on this device. Fix" message when I try to share my location through Google Maps. Do you know what versions of Google Play Store, Google Play Services, and Google Services Framework you have installed? Are any patched or are they all unmodified Google apps?
