It feels like I've watched every video and read every article on the internet to try to get Google apps onto this phone (HarmonyOS 2.0).
I've got some of the apps to work but not all. For example "SoundCloud won't run without Google Play services, which are not supported by your device."
I've tried Googlefier but it seems I can't downgrade the firmware to get it to work.
@Archibald1963's videos about OurPlay have been the most promising, but I'm still stuck.
Any and all suggestions are most welcome!
Harmony 2.0 if I'm not mistaken is huawei's no google software, created after the woman got kidnapped and held for ransom by canada for usa, leading to any of the three eyes (old 5 eyes nations) banning huawei devices from a certain date. Yeah some apps will work, but it's actually designed to block google, in retaliation, the uk banned huawei.
Strange how talktalk routers are huawei, even the latest... EE use them too!
It was created for those who want rid of googles spying. This MAY cause your problems.
I dumped huawei when they decided to stop unlocking bootloaders, and never followed up in that direction, but will keep tabs here in case old huawei knowledge is required..
Android apps run without problems if they do not require google services. All videos for native installation of gms currently do not work on the P50 Pro.
I myself use GSpace and VMOS Pro and Youtube Vanced with microG. The notifications work fine, my banking app does not work.
In this video from link below is said that googlefier works after an update of Harmony 2.0.0.35. Can someone confirm this?

I have the international model with EMUI 12 where I could not make it work.

Nope. Huawei locked the bootloader, so that there will be no custom mod available for this global version. What is so annoying that this phone system relies on Gspace in order to google based app to work. For mobile banking and e-wallet apps, this is dangerous because lack of security, and Gspace also unstable and causing temperature rise during use.

What banking applications do you use?
Can't find them in the App gallery?
On Mate40 pro I use 2 local banking applications (one of them for NFC payment), plus Curve (strictly for NFC payment).
Banking applications require installation from the App gallery.
Curve, for example, only works if installed from the App gallery.

All of my banking apps work just fine without GMS. And I use Curve and that works perfectly. Funnily enough Huawei wallet doesn't need GMS neither.

I use Aurora which is just an open source front for the Play store. https://consumer.huawei.com/uk/community/details/Store-on-your-HMS-device-with-Aurora/topicId_47814/
Some banking applications only work if they are installed from the App gallery.
That's why I said that the App gallery should be the first store used.
If these apps work if installed from Aurora, that's a bonus.

In my experience most apps are the same in both stores. Writing an app that uses native android api as opposed to either GMS or HMS is a lot easier than maintaining two android builds.
I couldn't use my local banking app until they put it in the App gallery, even though it was in the other app stores.
I'm talking about an app that worked perfectly on GMS phones, but didn't work on GMS-free phones, found in all other app stores, not in the App gallery too.
Also introduced in the App gallery, it worked perfectly on phones without GMS.

And that's the problem. To many lazy coders out there.
I have yet to find a family tracking app that works without GMS and yet no other app has problems with using my location.

See my later comments below.
Just a topic to advise any possible UK buyers who are considering to have this phone. I've managed to install Google services with some guide in this forum . Most of apps working, of course I'm prepared for some Google framework function not work, i.e. Google assistance (voice control ), Google pay with contactless etc. But some key apps not working can rely put me off:
*Barclays UK mobile Banking app: not supported on Play Market, tried to manual install the app with APK files , tried current and various previous versions, none of them worked. So if you rely on mobile banking a lot with Barclays bank, please be alerted. I can't use web version on the phone as the mobile app needs to be supported to generate log in code.
Less urgent case that I can use browser to bear the inconvenience: IHG booking app. Tried various previous version , none worked.
HSBC Mobile Banking for UK: all working fine
HSBC Mobile Banking for Hong Kong: works but does not support Fingerprints Log In.
Appreciate any help if you have any solutions for above apps?
Strange... there has not been any reply on this topic yet ?...
> I can't use web version on the phone as the mobile app needs to be supported to generate log in code.
I'm curious about this. Do you have any more information? Which browser are you using? Did you check the box for 'Desktop site' [1]? I find that works for most things where they check the UA string.
[1] That's what it is for Chrome, but I imagine other browsers have something similar.
Are you sure this is true? I am almost certain that I'm upgrading to this phone.
I was told that all Google apps, play store and generally everything Google related is working on this device from EE. I'm also with Barclays and will need to access that app. If this isn't the case then I will have to consider a different phone.
Still no luck. When searching Barclays app in Playstore , no luck. You can go to web version Google store and try to find this app then it will show app not compatible with this device. I guess Barclays app uses Google safetynet framework which is currently baned on this device.
Hi
I have the Barclays banking app working on my Mate 30 Pro 5G along with several other without any issues. Installed the Playstore as per method and downloaded app as normal. Only thing not working is Google Pay.
Dude , the app doesn't even turn up on playstore what are you talking about ?

App Gallery
Currently none of the mainstream banking apps are available through App Gallery but there are some smaller third party banking apps.
Phone Clone, this is Huawei's data transfer app which can be installed on any device and pre installed on Huawei phones.

They took their time to do it. Most websites are optimised by now to be honest. I think santander still isn't but apparently the mobile app works on HMS now.
If this had happened to Huawei 8 years ago they may have been in trouble, but theres so many options in 2020 you shouldn't limit yourself, the camera is awesome. Huawei should go down the route of unlocking bootloaders and become to the underground phone champ. But the software ain't bad to be fair

Phone clone is safe to use. It creates its own bubble around the two phones when transferring files. Super simple and easy to use.

Not the worst thing in the world as their web browser version works but ah well

yup i get that, its the same with NatWest, at the moment it appears the only work around is weblinks.
I use the barclaycard app and Pingit a lot, so bit of a pain these arent currently on the Appstore. I took a punt on the P40 Pro as I think they will get the missing apps over tje next few months (I hope). I can login online but then trying to add a payment to the Mrs asks me to login to the App to use the pin sentry, which kinda defeats the online objective lol. The only other app I use a lot is the YouTube app, and so far havent got that working yet. MBNA and Capital One Credit Card apps seem to work ok on the P40
AMEX, TSB, and Revolut all fine as well

When I got my P40pro I first followed a guide to get the limited Google services. Then put the Vanced with the Micro G. So it all works ok. But I'm not sure if the Vanced and micro G will work without going through the Google setup first.
As a side note even after getting the Google going NatWest banking still won't login with the app so I have to use the browser.
I used this guide for Google.

I had same problem with NatWest I have done the icebox method and newest work and Google duo
On the play store I kept hassling NatWest in the review section about p40pro not working, it was a slog but the upshot is I've had a reply saying they are aware newer Huawei models aren't working with the app and they are working with Huawei to try and fix the problem.
I think it might be useful if more NatWest users also comment on the play store review area if your able, even with your old device so it puts more pressure on them to come up with a fix. I would have posted the screen shot but I don't know how on this site.
Hello everyone,
So i have been posting about banking apps how to get them and other apps. I have noticed a lot of people side loading GMS or trying to and was wondering why?
I don't have GMS on my device, I'm happily using HMS as the two are not built to run together. I have all my banking apps, social media, games ect on HMS via Phone clone, App Gallery and Petal search. I still use my Gmail via the Huawei email apps no problems.
Would love everyone's feedback as to why the need for GMS?
I have been temped to load it on myself. The issue for me would be my ease of use with all the apps under one store and not having to rely on your banking to come across from previous phone. Also with the GMS again it is the ease of use knowing I can log on my laptop after and it is synced over, Youtube is a big thing for many people aswell. I used Vanced, which is good but i can't log in and subscribe to channels i am a fan of also it doesn't hold the place in the video you are watching if you need to close the app for various reasons.
I have also considered a side load but tbh there's nothing on gms I that I don't already have on my p3
40 Pro.
When I cross refrenced the Google Services I actually only ever used Photos, Maps and YouTube
For me having these replacements from the get go on my Huawei P40 Pro was a easy transition - Huawei Cloud, Here We Go and YVLR
HMS is bigger and better than I thought, Android OS has helped massively.

So Barclays is a go to for me and to have it on my P40 Pro would be amazing I am currently using the weblink saved to device but find myself using Barclays official app on my Huawei M5, I hope Barclays can devolp an app for HMS this side of the year.
GMS is no big requirement for myself I looked at the GMS folder and only every use Photos, Maps and YT all of these have a workaround on HMS, goodbye GMS hello HMS.

Hi, so i would say best approach for a lot of this is,
1 Download petal search, this gives you access to many app stores via one application. Making life easy.
2 Use Huawei ID which you can set up in settings, this allows you to do the same thing you can access your device from a laptop and pull over all the info from your phone which is cool.
3 The banking app i wouldn't say is a massive thing in regards to using Phone Clone, most people will use this app when setting up there new phone to pull your data over. So its not adding any more steps in for set up.
4 I personally just use the browser for YouTube and save it as a shortcut to my home screen. You can log in and when you switch window it saves your place on the video, so if you need to send a text ect this is perfect.
I hope this helps

This big thing i think people are missing is, people swap from IOS to Android every day. They swap from one system to another one, now there's a third option. And if you have seen IOS 14 they are looking to adopt 3rd party apps which is what HMS already offers.

To think Huawei has been through leaps and bounds and now with the Trump tantrum its only proved how strong Huawei are and to think Huawei have started up HMS with Android in a very strong position unlike most quote Nokia / Microsoft / Blackberry.

When i have used auto in the passed i have found it very inconsistent. Found waze is the best for maps.
Ive tried a sideloaded mate30 pro and initially I thought it was a wow moment, but after a couple of weeks I realised I wasn't getting the best out of my device especially as it hugely affected the battery performance, and since giving that to my wife and sharking her upgrade to the p40 pro I can say I prefer the HMS device. Shes reset the phone and stripped out GMS or shall i say I did lol and other than the Barclays app we are sorted. I mean utilising phone clone/app gallery/ petal search im completely set up. I was ever so worried about the function of not being able to cast to my chromecast however on my smart tv downstairs I can screen share using the wireless projection function. SO life continues and my device is awesome

Well it depends i dont have issues now with my P40 P but i did with my S20U. Also firmware of the car and a good cable is important. For now it is stable.
TBH it might have just been the car that was the issue. Always use the cable that is provided with the device.

What car do you drive? I have an Audi atm and have just had zero luck getting it to work either on older GMS devices. I'll continue to angle my phone in the cup holder.... I heard rumours of something called HiCar coming later down the line? :cyclops:
Recently bought a P40 Pro in hope that I can load GMS on to.
Tried following multiple youtube videos but have been unsuccessful.
I'm currently running;
EMUI 10.1.0
ELS-NX9
10.1.0.154
Could anyone advise whether this can be done and how?
Hi.. You have to downgrade your Firmware on x.131.. Than use the app googlifier and do all the steps carefully what the app told you...
Try a couple of times, i made it on 3 trys... Now it's working like a P30 with google services. And than, after that, you can update your OS over OTA.
Jusr search on YT about "SwagSell p40 english"
For the downgrade you will need a USB-C Stick or memory card.
Do you know if the natwest mobile banking app opens successfully when you side load Google mobile services. Wouldn't need to do it if not
My is working, but which apps you wanna use? I can test it for you...
Literally the only app that I use and doesn't work on Huawei mobile services is natwest banking. When I open the app it says;
This app requires Google mobile services in order to function. This device does not use these services and therefore it is not currently available for use.
I can't go any further to log in etc

Hi All,
I have gotten a p40 pro a few days ago (EMUI 11), and need the Barclays app functioning for their code generator. I can't install the app through APKs, I get the shared directory error. I found a thread containing a fix in this forum, but unfortunately it doesn't work on my device (I think it's because I'm on EMUI 11 which is more recent, URL of the fix : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/shared-directory-error-fix.4048319/ )
Also tried Gspace and dualspace, no luck there either. Did anyone manage to get Barclays working on their p40 pro?
Sorry can't really comment on the barclays app specifically but I manage to get the natwest one running via dualspace. What I find tho is It will stop working if I load to many apps into dual space, so I basically use dual space for only a couple of apps. That seems to give me more days usage before it eventually all stops and I have to reinstall dualspace and apps. Also find with dualspace and natwest app will never install straight away need to leave it pending download for couple of days before eventuality installs Where as say hangouts will always install each time straight away.

Yeah I tried to do it but got frustrated by the huge files I had to deal with (super bad connection where I'm at). I'll give it a go once I move in the next weeks. Did this work for you? This video has a great like/dislike ratio so I'm thinking of following it:

This is the best video for Installation. Download it and watch it at the same time you are installing.
If it fails then use the broom icon and to clean up then Start again this time you don't need to Install backup so start Video after the backup and try again. Then use
Don't freeze Google Frame. With these 2 videos you should have everything working
here is fix for Notification
You can check that your notification are working or not by installing Push Notification tester

So you use it for Barclays banking? It says it's a virtual machine, I'm wondering if this is secure or if your info is getting collected
Hi,
okay, I have to wait now until I get my Barclay card.
So far I have only installed the app.
When I start the app, it remains
it stops immediately in the first screen.
When I launch the app in vmos, the app runs right through to the login screen.
So I suspect that the app would continue to work.
I can only check this next week when I receive my login data from barclay.
I will report it then.
So long I ask for patience.
Sorry if I should have awakened false hopes.

in the case of lidl plus app,
here i saw today that there was an update of this app in the aurora store.
after this update now lidl plus app works normally on my phone. without vmos.
now i am only missing the satellite app.
This only works with vmos, dual space and gspace.

Hey, I believe Lidl Plus is offered on the AppGallery (pretty sure I saw it, though I don't use it as I don't have a Lidl nearby).
Barclays mail support is frustrating tbh, I mailed them to ask when they're planning to support HMS devices, they asked me to send photos of the error I get when I try to install, I did that and then they ghosted me...
Yes, Lidl app does, but not Lidl Plus app.
Your problem with the Barclay app may be different from mine.
I have a P40 lite 5G and have EMUI 10.
For me, the app starts and stops at the first screen.
with vmos the app goes to the login screen.
as you describe it, the app does not start at all on your phone.
so I suspect you have a completely different reason for the not working.
the way you write, you can't even install the barclay app on your phone.
that was no problem for me.
I installed the barclay app from the aurora store.
please try this out.
if that doesn't work, then your problem is different from mine.
I have the barclaycard app working on my phone... It got loaded via phone clone off My p20 pro if that helps...

1.91.1 to be clear this is the barclaycard app.
But if you have a phone you can clone from that might work... I know I had problems with the NatWest app until push messaging was working after gms install...
