[Q] how to cheat the android market thinking i am in somewhere else?

hi,
there are some apps in the android market that are restricted in some region. how can i cheat the market and download these apps? i tried to mock my gps or connect through a VPN, neither works.
i hope someone can give me more idea.
thanks,
David
I believe its tied to your google account location, so the only way around it would be to create a new google account i believe.
Though i could be wrong.
Try MarketEnabler. Works for me.
what is Market Enabler?

Guide to enable Google services on China variant AL00

Hi everyone,
I've been seeing many people having issues with installing Google framework on the AL00 variant.
The fact is that Google framework is already baked in and it is just a simple update to enable it.
1. Open app gallery and change country to China
2. Search for Google play store and click update
3. After update, click on open
4. The usual setup will appear
5. Done.
After the above steps, the majority of Google services and sync, etc should all be working.
* Update - OK Google does not work out of the box.
Have a good time with your new baby ?
Cheers!

I should say Google framework instead of services. I need to test out Google assistant as I don't use it but "OK Google" might not work at all due to Hivoice.
I'll update this thread to reflect more facts.
I just used the browser to look up "Google play store" and it gave me an option to download/update it, I've never opened the app gallery and everything works fine ??
I do the same? thanks

Hi Vincent,
Thanks for the suggestion above. I have legit fried my tiny brain on all aspects of getting google play to activate/update install what have you.
My location in the App Store ALREADY says China - and I am still unable to open or update the Google Play Store.
Any other suggestions? I am also unable to create a Huawei ID for the phone, it keeps saying "Restricted" and won't let me. Any work-arounds for this?

Going to get the P40 pro but GMS still possible? and some other detail of the phones.

Hi, i think i am going to get the P40 pro once it is out
however, i have been using google services app for so long, the google drive, google map and google photo, google pay(and i am paying monthly too).
My most concern is i still want my photos to be automatically backup to the google photo, means that i need to get the GMS working.
Can i do so with the new P40 pro? I mean not rooting the device can i still get GMS working?
secondly, Google pay, is it already a fact that even if i can get GMS working, i still cannot use Google pay in Huawei phones?
Any body knows the touch sample rate of the phone? I see Xiaomi 10 pro has 180hz, Oppo Find x2 pro has 240hz, but P40 pro didn't mention this during the announcement.
Secondly, same thing happened to my old Huawei Mate 20 pro and Sony Xperia 1. when i move my fingers during the game (ex. pubg), my fingers have to travel long enough for it to detect movement. So during sniper time it is a nightmare. (my iphone 10 and Samsung S9+ are doing perfect in this area)
Yes Google pay will never work as the phone is not certified by Google. I have the P40 Pro in my hands.

Loaned to me from Huawei for review.
It works , literally just saw Ben gadgets review with it working no issues
i saw Ben's review too, but he said he has to hack the phone.
i don't know what that means by hacking the phone... seems kinda risky

Android auto works fine if you install GMS correctly. The only thing that isn't working for me is Google pay and my banking app.

Are you now to assist. I used phone clone to do this and Barclays wouldn't clone? Do you have another method. (Coming from p20 pro)

If you did not do the GMS installation method prior to the phone clone I am guessing it wil not transfer banking apps.

P40 Pro - Some Apps don't work as expected.

Hello to every one. I have the P40 Pro, the latest version up to date. EMUI 12. I have installed google play services and everything seems to be working exept google pay. When i download the app, then i open it and it says that "google pay is updating right now so you won't be able to access the app" and this dont leave even if you restart the phone. Once i installed my bank app it popped out a notification that says "Update google services", once i did update google maps stopped working. It wont load position or the landscapes. And all google apps dont work. I had to do the whole google play store installation again in order to make it work. I think that if i install google play services that i will be able to use google pay. Even the function that you double press the power button open up curve to pay contactlessly by in the end it dont work. It just open the app showing the nfc icon with the card. Also i found out that it open nfc for just a second and then it turns off automatically. Even if i manually open the nfc i cant pay with curve. Is there any way that i could install an app the allows me to pay with nfc? If i downgrade to EMUI 10 will i be able to use that current google play services version in order to make all apps work. Any ideas of how to solve this?
P.S. Another bank of mine have an app functionality that allows me to play contactlessly. I would like to have an app like a wallet that i could add all my banks, like google pay or curve.
Thanks for stopping by to read

Have you install Curve from the App gallery ?
It will doesn't work if it's installed from other app store ...
I have installed it from App gallery, without to enroll it on wallet, and works fine (on Mate 40 pro, without GMS).

I had my curve app installed from Google Play and then i uninstalled it and installed it from GalleryApp. Now when i double tapp on power button it pop ups curve , turns on NFC for a fraction and then turns off. If i open wallet and then select curve and click on pay NFC stays on. Did not tried it yet. So you only need to unlock phone with open NFC and it works? do i have to go to NFC settings and select anything? Also do i have to open curve app?
In NFC settings you had to set Curve as default app for NFC payments.
Yes, it's working after unlocking the phone (with NFC on).
