How do you get your apps? - Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers

Hey everyone,
What method are you using to get your apps? I've been using mostly Petal Search and App Gallery but I know some people use other app stores. What do you use?

I use aptoide as well

How do you choose applications?

Hallo!
How do you choose the applications which you download? For example do you directly search on Google Play, or do you search first at internet?
Thanks!
its ur choise and matters which kind of app you want u can google first instead of play store ?

Depends on what kind of application I want. There are many good apps that are not on Play Store.

Mate 9 Chinese version, no Google contacts...

About all setup with my Mate 9 (Chinese version). I got updated OTA to 135 and got GMS and Play all going.
However, I can't get Google contacts on it. App won't install from store, says incompatible ... anyone got a workaround? Last thing I need to get to using this otherwise awesome phone as my daily.
Answered. Wasn't sure I trusted all mirror but trust Duraaraa.

hey,I'm from China and I think there is an app called google installer which is designed for your problem
Since google is not available in China ,google services are simply deleted.
Usually,we use that google installer to plant google services in our system(VPN needed of course lolol),but they work only on 5.0 and 6.0 the last time I saw them
you can still give it a try though,this app can be found on cool market(very powerful app market,we use it as a replacement for google store)
just search cool market on google and you will get it
Hope this can help you
Yep, GMS Core puts the base services on, then you can add Play store and the rest. Got Contacts from APK Mirror.

They might find a way like making a new app store or using their appgallery.

This exactly does not take much effort for most people here on XDA to install g services and store. I am getting myself a M30 Pro and will use it that way, idk about politic shhite.

dont you think that google might block them from connecting to their servers etc so it might not be that possible after all
That's what I read, this phone will now able to connect to google calendar or google drive which rely on google service.
Of course, Huawei has Chinese apps alternative as what China people using in China.
mate 30 pro will have android 10 though

I was planing to do the same since its quite easy to install both gplay services and gplay store , but the problem is the phone is not going to get any future android updates. whats going to happen when android 11 comes out.
Andoid is open source so i guess we will get updates, i am going to wait on Huawei to clarify a bit first
Android Open Source Project, AOSP is free to use for anybody. Huawei pay Google about 5$ per device and preinstall Google Apps and Services.
You will get a Huawei Mate 30 with Android 10, EMUI but without Google Play, Gmail, Youtube, etc.
It is Android, so you can install it and use it, like any other Android device. On Xiaomi Mi Store (chinese version) there is a Google Installer.
I understand Google Mobile Services is easy but how about Google Pay and over-riding thaty SafetyNet thing?
I remember there was this work around using MAGISK?? But do u have to root in order for it to work?
confirm can install

Mate 30 fingerprint is safety net compliant
Its fairly easy to install gapps on it
Most of New released models where already pre certified, as this happened before the ban..
Wanda Mobile, a reputable UK retailer, is now selling this phone "with Google Play Store installed".

It will work like any other Android phone except it does not have the licensed Google Mobile Service (GMS) built-in; there is an app that one can download to install the google framework that will install Google assistance which will allow Google Play Store to be installed in the phone. Because the phone does not have GMS so many apps in Google Play Store will not work. One will have to get from alternative source like APKmirror
Ok Guys. I have a M30 and it has not been easy to install GMS on it. As you know LZPlay app is dead. And installing framework, services and play Store is not working. I get force close after the install.
Any thoughts on this? (bootloader locked and unrooted)

Hey, Boas Super Dragão!
Unfortunately it´s not been easy to install gapps since the LZPLay backdoor wich was using undocumentede APIS has been closed. I have a Mate 30 Pro with Bootloader unlocked and no root. I tried a bunch of suspicious GMS installers, and tried to intsall the services and framework manually with all the available permissions and the result is always the same. App force closes. Alguma ideia? Abraço

Just presumed you are living in China. Shouldn't be hard, they can live without Google, FB, IG, whatsapp. So can you.

Gracias Juan. For now I am trying to actually install as much as possible of original Google Apps. But that article is very interesting and has some great alternatives.

APKPure vs Aurora Store

Hi,
I have both installed on my phone. I was wondering what's the difference between the two? Should I use APKPure to download some apps because they are not coming from Google Server,, so less safer(?). While Aurora Store I heard is linking directly from Google Play Store..(safer?) I can also go to Play Store but which means I need to unfreeze using Icebox. Which is extra 30min of work every few days.
Cheers
Apkpure seems to be where most the apps are recommended even by Huawei Petal Search
At least search for apps using petal search (via app gallery)
Then let Apkpure do the updates
Having looked at options, I mean with app gallery there is an app called petal search which will eradicate the need for alternative apk platforms, its a hub which searches all other hubs for you, kinda like toys R us
