Hi everybody
I got me a Mate 7 Version MT7-UL00 in Shanghai.
Everything fine so far (LTE works in Switzerland, Play Store installed etc.).
Now I still have some Chinese Apps I cannot change to German or English. Most of them I do not need (for example the Huawei Wallet). The App Center (to administrate all the apps on my phone) would be nice to have in English or German.
Is there a chance to get this changed or to download an other version?
Thx for the help!

Hi, I'm also in Switzerland and I had the same problems than you. I tried in vain to change the language of many apps so finally I just rooted it, installed Titanium Backup and I was able to get rid of all that bloatware. Since you have the Play Store you don't need the App Center anymore, do you?
The only things remaining are the chineses sayings on the lock screen. But you can change it as well.

Hi Inspecteur Gadget...
So I am not the only one in Switzerland with a Mate 7 from China
I had on my LG G3 an App Center where I could manage all the apps. Not for Downloading new apps.... but for things like turning off the notification etc. This I can do also here with the App Center. But there is still a lot of Chinese in there. No big deal but it looks just not the way I like it
Enjoy your phone!

Hi Guys, Im here in vancouver, Canada....just got one but about to root it....is there any good ROMS for it....because unfortunetely the EMUI sucks specially with all the bloatware.....also how do I add my google contacts to work,....
I'm in Australia and I have the Mate 2
I'm having this issue, but a lot of trouble rooting it... Help!
Ok... It might be repetitive, I come from the LG / Sammy world, so I am new to the Huawei universe...
I've been reading through a lot of threads, like a lot hahaha, I just want to get one last confirmation before I order it (still not sure if I'm gonna get the L29 or L00, although the 6gb/128 is really interesting to me) .
I know people like @duraaraa are working hard to get us something rolling! And thanks for that! I know some other devs (from other phones) are wanting to jump into this pool, so this could become and interesting devs device in the very close future.
But I have some questions, or more like confirmations to ask:
Huawei now really "unofficially" released the GMS for the Chinese / Hong-Kong version of the m9 (4gb/32, 4gb/64, 6gb/128 and 6gb/256). For the users on the AL00, can you please confirm the following :
- you have a 100% English rom or other mulingual possibility (meaning no trace of Chinese writing or other, except maybe some Chinese apps)
- Google playstore, all apps are installable (swiftkey, nova launcher, etc..) and are working 100%
- push services (Gmail, exchange, etc..) are working 100%
- auto sync services (Dropbox, Google photos, etc...) are syncing with no issues
- that you are on the latest firmware and you think now that updates will bring no issues in the future
- do you really see a big difference with the extra 2gb of Ram or is it placebo
- if you do have issues, please tell me
- last but not least :which of the 2 you think will have more development? AL 29 or AL 00
- you have a 100% English rom or other mulingual possibility (meaning no trace of Chinese writing or other, except maybe some Chinese apps)
Yes. No Chinese writing except in Chinese apps.
- Google playstore, all apps are installable (swiftkey, nova launcher, etc..) and are working 100%
I don't have nova launcher, but swiftkey works. Everything is installable.
- push services (Gmail, exchange, etc..) are working 100%
Yes.
- auto sync services (Dropbox, Google photos, etc...) are syncing with no issues
Yes.
- that you are on the latest firmware and you think now that updates will bring no issues in the future
Yes, but without unlocking the bootloader you will only be able to install updates that Huawei wants you to install. Ergo, no betas.
- do you really see a big difference with the extra 2gb of Ram or is it placebo
How would I know? I only have 6GB version. It probably only matters if you use all the RAM.
- if you do have issues, please tell me
Screen touch responsiveness is not as good as other phones. Huawei has been adjusting it a lot from build to build. Hopefully they get it right soon.
- last but not least :which of the 2 you think will have more development? AL 29 or AL 00
With an unlocked bootloader, development will be the same for both. With locked bootloader, you currently have more options with AL00, because that's what I have so that's what I'm working with, and because Huawei has several versions of firmware which can be flashed to AL00, but only one which can be flashed to L29 at the moment. I think Huawei focuses mainly on China, so support of the Chinese phone will be better.
Well, thanks for that quick reply!
Can confirm all Duraaraa said. I got mine, had B109 with working g Google services and I uninstalled all the Google stuff, did OTA to B125. Then it offered B135 OTA so did that. After reboot I stalled GMS and Play store and all good. Had to install Google contacts from APK mirror, and had to go to permission manager and allow Google app as trusted and auto start to get OK Google functionality working but all good now.
Only issue I am having is a few apps won't install. For instance, the CBS watch TV app ... click on install from store and it starts download and the before it finishes store just closes. A couple games do this as well. Working on figuring it out.

@SWBgHz hi, I think to solve your issue with CBS watch TV app go to the play store app permission and make sure Storage have that permission on.
I got mine last Friday nice phone, software is really bad.
After i got everything working on mine. now play store will not work ...keep downloading. i did try everything and still not working.
I have few apps needs update , it is just downloading
I can not get notification from any app
it seems that i will have to factory reset.
I think you guys should download HI suit for back up and restore .
waiting for a better Rom.
Edit: Play store start behave normal again and its working fine.
still can not see notification from my major apps like gmail...etc
I had already tried adding additional permissions as well as setting Play store as trusted app but no joy. Just a few apps do same as CBS on, store closes during download phase.

Sure enough, storage wasn't allowed. Odd thing is I checked that and allowed all manually, or thought I did.

Make sure that Play Store has Storage permissions. That should fix your problem.
Edit: Oops, late reply
Abject lesson in checking things twice. I swear I did add permissions but such is life. Doh!

Hi to all users of Mate 9 MHL-AL00C00 (only Chinese version)
I'm starting this thread to investigate the problem with notifications in Chinese version of Mate 9.
As far as I know Europe & International version after B126 update solve the problem but for as, users of Chinese version in Europe etc, the only way to make it work for the moment is to lock those apps that we want notified in recent list.
So if you own a Chinese MHL-ALOOCOO Mate 9 and you want to share your founds & thoughts you can write it here
hi I just received my mate 9 with same version as you, I will let you know if I experience the same problem
not only social media, actually all app except QQ and wechat all other applications have notification problem. phone manager will kill all other apps doesn't matter what kind setting you did.
Better off Chinese version ROM.And online yellow page ..........
There is an option can't remember where in Chinese firmware,it say automatic give permission and restrictions for installed applications,maybe disable this option and remove the application that is not getting notifications and install again.
Maybe think i saw it in phone manager settings.
I confirm that the problem remains. I have the latest update MHA-AL00C00B167 and installed from HiApp the latest version of whatsapp v2.17.60.
I tried all suggestions related to notifications settings, battery optimization, lock screen..., but I receive the notifications only when I open the app. This holds both for WiFi and 4G.
However, my Gmail notifications work properly, so I tried to do some reverse engineering to see what could be the difference. My current finding is that the reason is the phone manager, and specifically the auto-launch/secondary launch management.
Gmail works if you allow both google play services and gmail. However, even if you allow whatsapp, the phone manager apparently ignores it. To verify this, if you restart the phone, you will see that the secondary launch is disabled again for whatsapp, and a record of restricted launch is present in the list you can find in secondary launch management/secondary launch records.
Anyway, I think we have to wait for a new update that will solve this.

Huawei is responsible for that mess up with notifications...
This is the 2nd Mate that screwed up... (1st was mate 8)
It takes about 3 months to get fix it in mate 8 and now again the same issue in Mate 9....ok European & International versions have fixed but what about chinice version.... How many updates we have to wait until they fix it....
Or they sending as straight to debrand to Europe or international version.... That's too annoying!
I will wait until next update... After that I have to debrand....

Nope. Let's hope Android O can fix all the issues.
I actually have a P30 Pro, if I buy a P40 Pro and I clone all my settings to the new P40 pro, will I have the Google services?
No, You want! I did it p30 pro to P40 pro - everything was moved BUT ring tones (custome) google chrome and wallpaper
I'm sorry, but I'm not getting if it's possible or not.
Did you were able to have Google play store in the p40? Gmail? Youtube? Maps?

Thank you.
Huawei support told me the same, you can have couple apps, but not the whole package.
I'm afraid I will not buy the amazing p40 pro, I'm sad.
May be a Xiaomi Mi 10 pro?

My friend did it: installed Google Play Store/Services on P40 Pro. You can not clone from P30 Pro -> P40 Pro to get Google works
After cloning, will Google Pay work? That is, will the phone pass safetynet test?
I have install google gms on my p40 pro, then used phone-clone from my p30 pro. All apps except g-pay works. Maps, contacts, calendar, drive, the lot. Even my banking app and bankid on mobile.
Just not g-pay but I can live without that one ??
When I try to add a card g-pay states that I have root access or that the phone has been otherwise altered ?

Can i ask which banking apps are working for you? I am getting mine tomorrow and trying to decide if its better installing gsm first, then clone. Or the other way around
It is Norwegian bank apps.
I have tried both approach, gms then phone-clone and vice versa.
My experience is that gms on a "empty" phone works best.
Obviously, the phone fails Android SafetyNet Test. You can search in Play Store and download an app to test yours out.
update
Confirm! Updated to .114 yesterday, all Google stuff work as it did.
personally me google play music doesn't work
So, does the phone pass Android SafetyNet Test now? Can check please?
I don't know about safetynet stuff, but my Gpay is working fine.
Did 2 purchases to date, both worked on first try.
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.

1.91.1 to be clear this is the barclaycard app.
