Hi guys, I successfully done with the GMS installation on my P40 Pro but I need the Google Apps Device Policy and I cant make it work. Is there anyone also facing this issue and made it work? The company where I worked was using this google application due to security reasons for the data we have.
I tried so far was added my corporate account right after the installation of 1st 6 apk files then downloaded the Google Apps Device Policy right after installation of the GSF or the 7th APK. When I open Google Apps Device Policy, it logged my corporate account there as it should because I added it together with my personal google account but it doesnt continue as it is requesting to sign in again and the error cant connect to google service still persist.
Hi, is it Google Apps Device Policy or Android Device Policy (the new one). In our Company, we used Android Device Policy, where it insist on creating a work profile. On this stage, the GMS stopped working correctly and the work gmail account disappeard.
Than I tried to install old Device GApps Policy apk only extracted from my P30 Pro (but on another device where I had already a work profile (I don't like to have multiple icons)) and it was working, it allows me to add work account without creating a work profile. Suddenly, before that I returned the P40 Pro so I don't know, if it's working.

Hi, thanks for the reply. What you recommend is, try extracting my previous working APK with work profile on my older device? I have samsung older device with working profile in Google Apps Device Policy, do you think it will also work on my case?
I don't think so. Only without work profile.
When there is installed GMS on P40 Pro and you want to create a work profile it wont work, the GMS wil start to spam you with error notifications. So, add work account via Google Device policy (install apk), and it might work. But before steps from guide when it installs patched GMS core.
I can't test it, because already I have returned the P40 Pro.

I made it worked thru dedication and luck. Thanks for the tips
Can you apply the steps how you made it work? Because i have this problem too.
I have G Suite account which is asking always to login after installing GMS on my P40.
Google on P40 Pro
I'm still getting the mistake that the device is without Play Protect certification and I can't even log in to Google play, and I also can't add a second Google Account
Hi, i managed to install GMS on my P40 and it works without errors or notifications for Gmail account. (Followed this video tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYOU_YxrHhc )
The only step that i miss is that i cant login into my G Suite (work) account and cant find any tutorial how to make it work after installing the GMS.
The message that i get is:
1. Couldn't sign in
Your domain requires mobile device management. Please install the Google Apps Device Policy application to enforce security policies required by the [email protected] account.
[Donwload]
2. Clicking on [Download] button it redirects me to Google Play store to download Google Apps Device Policy.
3. Opening Google Apps Device Policy and clicking on Next
4. Here i get an error Couldn't sign in
A problem occured while communicating with Google servers.
Please try again later.
Does someone has a solution for this? Is there a way how i can login with my G Suite account?
G Suite account login succeed
GOOD NEWS!! By lots of trying i managed to make it work.
Here is what i did:
1. Reset the device.
2. After selecting region... you need to set up the Device protection > Set password (6 digits) (Is needed for your work account)
3. Download older version of Google Apps Device Policy (6.92) to you computer. (I downloaded it from https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...ease/device-policy-6-92-android-apk-download/ )
4. Follow this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYOU_YxrHhc
5. Place that "com.google.android.apps.enterprise.dmagent_6.92-692_minAPI14(nodpi).apk" into "00 Google Installation" folder
6. Now install the first 6 apk's (from video) while "G"-app is running in the background
7. And now install the 7th apk the "com.google.android.apps.enterprise.dmagent_6.92-692_minAPI14(nodpi).apk" you downloaded before. Also while "G"-app is running in the background.
8. After entering accounts open Google Apps Device Policy app. (Click ok & Next >)
9. Here you will get an error "Your device has still not been registred with Play services. Please try after some time." (Click Ok)
10. Open play store (This will disappear)
11. Close all apps and go further with installing "(7) Google Services Framework.apk"
12. Finish the installation (till the end by installing 9th apk which is Google Play services) from the video
13. Now here you'll get a notification that your G Suite (work) account cant login. (Tap on it)
14. Here click on a button [Download]. You'll be redirected to PLay Store.
15. Update Google Apps Device Policy app and open it.
16. Now here click on "Next >" and Allow and again Allow access > Activate > Enforce
Now you can enter Gmail, Drive etc... with your G Suite account
Hope this will help someone.
Device: Huawei P40
Software: EMUI 10.1
PS: For security reasons remove "G"-app from your device!
thanks boglky for the help, the phone now works perfectly it works without errors or notifications for Gmail account ? this video tutorial helped

So I set both accounts personal and work during the process and install google play services with all other apps with no issues. Play store works, personal account works. But when I try to use work account, Device Policy app installs and asks to set work profile without no option to use it as regular (I have my work account on P20 set as regular account with Device Policy and its fine), when work profile gets set it installs all apps like play services etc as separate work and of course they don't work then, work profile cannot complete setting and all pop up notifications appears again.
I tried installing Device Policy older version right after I add work account but when I open account to set it work it asks to install new version anyways.
Hi,
I am experiencing exactly the same behaviour as @jovikus does, on my p40 pro.
I was using the Googlefier method from bender_007 and also raised this in his topic:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83944723&postcount=744 having no answer so far.
Thanks for your bringing this up and thanks everyone for helping out!
Best,
Octav
Does anyone have any update on this topic?
Thank you!
Any updates from anyone?
Doesn't work for me, any update info?
I've taken the plunge and pre-ordered my P40 Pro which should arrive in a few days. I have done some reading around as to whether to go GMS-naked or not and have a few questions still to help make my decision, hoping someone can help...
1) I currently have a Mate Pro 20, so I would be looking to clone my apps over. My understanding is that I can expect the vast majority of them to copy over (even if not on Huawei's AppGallery) but if I was to go GMS-naked, am I right in thinking that these apps would then never update (unless they are on AppGallery)?
2) Without installing GMS, is there any way of getting Chrome working? I use it as my browser on my tablet and desktop and it's helpful to have that sync so would really ideally like it on my phone.
3) Same as question 2 but regarding Google Suite apps such as Sheets and Docs - any hope in getting them without GMS?
4) I have read some positive reviews regarding BlueMail, is it possible to use this for Gmail accounts without GMS?
5) Without GMS, will UK banking apps only work if already on AppGallery? I currently use Starling, First Direct & NatWest - especially the former two so hoping that they would work.
6) If I did go down the GMS route, would I need to be reinstalling it every time there is an Android or Google update or would it be a one-off?

Regarding #5.
Starling works, though Natwest will not either with or without GMS sadly.
I now use yolt which will sync your account for the next best alternative.
#6,
Currently any updates haven't mean a reinstallation of anything.
Thank you, really helpful!! Good to know about Starling.
I don't suppose anyone else knows the answers to questions 1-4?

1. Most can be phone-cloned. They will not update unless you install Aurora, APKPure, Aptoide, Amazon App Store .. just install all of these and pick your favourite. Notifications wont work for most.
2. Firefox is better and can sync across devices.
3. Part of the attraction of the P40 Pro is going google-free for the challenge and to support Huawei .. I am using Office from the Huawei App Gallery.
4. Despite being on the Huawei App Gallery, BlueMail notifications were unreliable with HMS-naked ... warning message that no Google Cloud Messaging is installed .. that you had to clear evey day or two .. and people that are using BlueMail don't realise that notifications are delayed for a while. BlueMail is a bad app at the moment.
5. Banking apps .. phone-clone or install from Aurora, APKPure, Aptoide, Amazon App Store ... my banks are working fine . not too many people are reporting problems.
6. Why do you need GMS? Have they fixed notifications with a GMS install? microG is a much simpler and more reliable solution at the moment to give you notifications and you can still get apps from Aurora, APKPure, Aptoide, Amazon App Store.
If you find a reason that HMS-naked and HMS-microG are not acceptable ... and you really have to do a HMS-GMS setup, then I would not buy the P40 Pro ... just get the P30 Pro.
4. I used the stock Huawei email application. Lets you add multiple accounts (gmail/outlook) and gives you notifications without issue. I ended up preferring it to Gmail/Outlook app.
5. I don't have my P40 Pro any longer, but when I did FirstDirect app worked fine through GMS. Monzo bank did also. I downloaded NatWest and it worked but I didn't have an account so couldn't actually log in.
6. You only lose your GMS install if you factory reset. Software updates don't affect it.

4. with my testing on P40 Pro with HMS-naked, the notifications with the Huawei email app are delayed .. particularly with a linked gmail account in the Huawei email app.
is your feedback with HMS-naked, HMS+microG or HMS+GMS?

I pretty much used the phone out the box with GMS, so maybe that's why I had a different experience. Gmail and Outlook definitely came through with timely notifications using stock app for me.

I have had a mate30 pro for about 4 months and ive not had any struggles, Depending on who you bank with currently you may not be able to get an 'app' but what you can do is save a hot link, So from the browser hit the dots on the top right and add to home screen, What you can do which is what ive done is saved a link with in the login page, really for me it does the same thing shows my balance and that's it really.
I mean if you're looking for apps through app gallery there is 2 key ones I would really recommend one is MoreApps and one is Petal both of which once installed act as a hub for other apps you may need. Its one that I know I've relied on hugely.
Other than that how you getting on with it?
It arrived yesterday and really it's a beautiful phone! Haven't had too much time to play with it yet but seems great.
I cloned over my apps from my Mate Pro20 and had a quick play. All of my WhatsApp history seemed to automatically copy over which is great. My main issue so far is that a couple of apps I have tried to use (e.g. The Athletic) say that Google Services Installation Required in order to use them. If hey are not on AppStore, is there any way I can use them as apps without GMS?
Similar question for other apps that I have cloned over such as betting apps. When I load them it says that location services must be enabled to use the app (which they are) but it doesn't eem to be picking up on this (probably GMS related?).
Are More Apps & Petal a way round sourcing apps not on AppStore but without having to install GMS?

1. I had some success with some apps that were broken with HMS-naked, but worked successfully with HMS+microG (but I have never tried HMS+GMS as it is silly to buy a P40 Pro then hack GMS onto it .. just buy a different phone).
2. Petal is a terrible app ... it just links you to other app store .. google these well know app stores, go to their websites and get the apk for the store and then install the new store on your p40 pro ..
aptoide
apkpure
amazon appstore
f-droid
aurora
I have them all installed and play around with each .. they mostly have similar apps (other than amazon appstore and f-droid).
dont waste your time with petal.
Thanks, I'm a total novice here so it's really helpful to get some advice.
1) Is microg relatively easy to install? Am I right in thinking that it adds a Google foundation but without GMS? Therefore, some apps from Playstore that didn't work when first cloned may then work?
2) would the benefit of those appstores be that they may have versions of apps that don't require GMS but aren't available on Huawei's Appstore?
3) One other question that I thought of... for apps that I clone over and work fine (but aren't available on Huawei's Appstore) - how will I keep them updated? I do have a Samsung tablet so would I be able to periodically clone them over from that or would I need to do something else?

1. Refer below .. 10 steps but they are simple steps ... it might take 15 mins for the first time .. 5 mins for the second time .. small open-source app to provide notifications only. what notifications are broken for you?
2. correct .. aurora even looks the same as the google playstore .. install some apps, update as required. I often just update apps directly from aurora or apkpure and dont even use the huawei app gallery.
3. Update your phone-cloned apps with aurora, apkpure, aptoide, f-droid, amazon appstore, etc ... I usually update at different stores every few days just for fun ... today is aurora day .. tomorrow is apkpure day.
microG
https://microg.org/
1. Perform a factory reset of the phone.
2. Install F-Droid app (search for the apk .. F-Droid is a store with access to search for apps)
3. Add this repo into F-Droid .... https://microg.org/fdroid/repo
4. In F-Droid, then install MicroG Services Core.
5. In F-Droid, then Install MicroG Services Framework Proxy.
6. In F-Droid, then Install the MicroG FakeStore.
6. Open the Microg Settings app. Grant it all permissions and disable battery optimizations.
7. Add your Google account.
8. Turn on Device Registration, Cloud Messaging and SafetyNet.
9. Restart your phone.
10. Open Microg Settings app, check the status under Cloud Messaging. If it says not connected enter the following in the phone app: *#*#2432546#*#* and restart your phone. Check the status again - it should say Connected. (I had to enter the phone string and restart my phone twice until it said connected).
11. Install apps
12. Check connection in microG app for Google Cloud Messaging
All this will give you is push notifications with Google Cloud Messaging (including the Google Firebase messaging).
I also had notification issues caused by either Huawei PowerGenie and Android Doze .. if the notifications work and then suddenly stop after an hour or so, then try these ..

That's great, thank you. I'm still using my Mate Pro 20 as my phone at the moment so not really sure how effective the notifications on my P40 Pro are. It sounds like it would make sense to factory reset and Microg my P40 Pro before I properly make the switch to using that then? You mentioned it should only take 5 mins to do Microg the second time... unless I misread the instruction guide, why would I need to do it a second time?
And presumably once I've installed Microg, I could just clone my apps over from the Mate Pro 20 as normal?

1. I would test your essential apps first and check if notifications are working for you. what are your critical apps for notifications? maybe you can go HMS-naked and no need for HMS+microG.
2. You have to install apps after installing microG ... otherwise the apps don't open .. if you have only installed a few apps, then no need to reset ... you can just install microG, uninstall those few apps, then reinstall those few apps .. but if you have 20 apps, it might be quicker to reset and start fresh.
3. quicker the second time as you know where to click! that's all.
4. yep.
but .. hopefully your critical apps have notifications working real-time & consistently, then no need for microG.

Critical apps would be WhatsApp, SMS messages and emails. Other notifications such as news/sports and some other social media would be important but not critical.
I'll pop my SIM in tonight and do a comparison of how notifications are popping up vs my Galaxy tablet and Mate Pro 20 to see whether a reset and microg is necessary.
Thanks again for the help, I'll let you know how I get on!

Thanks for the guide, I followed it and got microG running, then cloned over my apps and appear to be getting notifications through (at least for the apps I've tried), which is great!
I have now run into a problem with my Google account though. I was trying to sign in to YT Music and typed in my Google account details but it said there was a problem communicating with Google servers. I then went in to Settings > Users and Accounts > Google and there were some sync issues so I removed the account and went to add it again but now it won't work as before, My microG is also showing as without an active Google account and when I try and add it, I am getting the same issue, I enter my email and password and then it takes me to Googles Terms of Service, which I agree but then get the following message:
Sorry... There was a problem communicating with Google servers. Try again later.
Any idea how I can add my Google account again?

So I cleared the data on my MicroG Services Core app which appeared to fix the problem of not being able to sign in. The issue I now have is that I've signed in to my Google account then when I go to an app such as YT Music and go to sign in, the account doesn't show up, when I then click 'add account' it takes me to MicroG Services but I type in my email and it just says 'This account already exists on your device'...
So my Google account is registered on the phone but whenever I try and sign in to any app with it, it redirects to MicroG Services Core for sign in and then it just says that the account already exists and I cannot go any further with log in

I think you're expecting too much from microG on a non-rooted phone without signature spoofing to use the full microG capabilities.
If want to run a full microG install, then buy a phone with good rooted ROM support with microG already built-in.
I logged into microG and have done no other google logins since .... if any apps have requested a google login, then I have ignored.
you can use amazon music, tidal, spotify, etc .. no idea how to use YoutTubeMusic

I definitely don't know the intricacies of what microG provides but it was definitely enabling much better performance from notifications.
This is an issue for me though as I get free YT Music so not something I would particularly want to give up. I don't appear to have an issue signing into YouTube via my browser with my Google account but it appears any app that requires an email log in directly on the app (as opposed to through a browser) automatically routes me to log in via microG core services and when I then try and log in, it says that the account is already regsitered on my device (which it is but I can't seem to access it for this purpose).
I'm not sure if I just did part of the process slightly wrong and if it#s worth me resetting and doing the whole process again, or if for some reason it's not possible?

I'm wondering if it would work if I reset the phone, cloned over any apps where I need the few apps where I need to log in via Google (I don't need notifications for them anyway), then installed microG, then cloned over all the rest of the apps?
Hi,
I purchased a new phone a Motorola Edge S (hardware SKU XT2125-4), unfortunately it is a China ROM phone which means it didn't come with Google play store. This was side loaded and I am able to install apps from google. But I have SO many issues with this and I am hoping someone has something helpful to actually use this phone
1. When I try to use Google setup a nearby device (to transfer everything over to this phone), it simply can't find my new phone (despite having bluetooth and location on for both phones
2. I can't restore contacts from google drive even though I can connect
3. I downloaded the MAGISK app, however the file browser is unable to install as the app is not allowed. The toggle to trust the app can not be changed.
I am at a loss as to how to actually use this phone as essentially it's useless at the moment. Any help would be appreciated.
It is already running Android Version 11
Baseband version M55_HI20_209.334.01.60R NIO_PVT_SUPERSDS_CUST
Kernel Version 4.19.136-perf+
Build Number RRN31.Q1-20-17-6
I can provide any / all other information if needed
If the solution is to root the phone, I'm ok with that too, but see point 3.
I'm in the same situation. Purchased the XT2125 as well. Got the Google stuff working by side loading the play store, services and framework. However, initially, while everything else was working, the contacts wouldn't sync. After a few hours of searching, finally came across an article which said that I also needed to side load an apk called google contacts sync and give it permission. Contacts started syncing after that. Fast forward a couple of days and a system update later, SMS are delivered with really long delays and outbound ones fail. Google maps crashes constantly and navigation just doesn't work. I don't know what to do with this phone now honestly, since I need Google maps navigation on a regular basis. Have tried reinstalling maps, resetting permissions, clearing cache and data but nothing seems to work. And with the SMS delay, I can't sign on our complete transactions on a lot of apps because the SMS usually arrives after such a delay that the code has expired. Feels like such a waste of money this phone even though it's supposed to be great bang for the buck.
I am hopeful that when they release the Moto G100 (same phone actually), that we will be able to flash it with this ROM to make it usable.

Wait it's like that with motorola too
I thought it's only like that with xiaomi
Seems like even with motorola it doesn't come with google apps if it's a china rom
Though it was only with xiaomi where if it's a china rom it doesn't come with any google apps guess im wrong

Yeah, I think it's being released in a couple of days. Anyway, I did a factory reset and the maps issues sorted out. Had to go through the pain of sideloading google again but the device is being shown as google play certified, but yeah, would be nice to just have the international rom on it.
Were you able to make any headway with your device? I didn't put a sim in mine but the rest of it seems to be working ok, except Youtube Vanced isn't signing in with a google account.
Hi, I'm new here and this is my first post.
I'm trying to remove Gapps and Samsung apps on this phone using ADB commands.
I cant remember all the names of the apps I've removed but some of them are:
-Play Store, Gmail, Youtube, Facebook ( and fb services)
-Galaxy Store, My Galaxy, Samsung max, samsung free, game launcher
-Netflix, One Drive
However after removing these apps and restarting the phone (it works just fine before rebooting) the phone is stuck in a reboot cycle.
Is there something I need to remove thats checking for the apps or is there one particular app from that list that I should not delete (I hope its not play store)
Any inputs are appreciated.
It's likely one of the core apps that's causing this. Normally I'd suggest a reset or flashing the stock rom again but so far I haven't seen any copy of the stock rom floating around. Try to boot the device into safe mode and see if it works - https://www.samsung.com/in/support/mobile-devices/safe-mode-on-samsung-phones/
I'd suggest disabling the apps you don't need. Those that can't be disabled or uninstalled can be put to deep sleep so they don't use any resources. (This doesn't work for apps like Play Store, Galaxy Store etc).

Thanks, I guessed so too. Also I managed to get into the bootloader or something. Clicked on factory reset and got it back to working condition. Will continue to experiment with what can be removed and not.
You cannot debloat samsung device in that way because it's integrity checking by matching the list of default apps and available apps. since there is a mismatch it's stuck in a bootloader or boot. wait for working root method for android 11 samsung then it will be much more swift to remove stock apps.
Thanks.

Hi
I use the M12 and uninstalled all the apps you mention, less Galaxy Store. I used ADB No problems in my device .
I usually disable the app I want to uninstall and I observe the behavior of Phone, if everything is ok, so I uninstall it it
I would appreciate if you can elaborate your problem and provide more information.
