Hello everyone,
I'm using P40 Pro. I installed GMS before 3 weeks, it's working good for me. I don't get any GMS error notifications I did software update it's still working.
But I have problems with apps notifications, I don't get notifications for like:
-Twitter
-LinkedIn
-Workplace
-Spark mail
-Other apps
Battery opt. it's not a problem, I think it's a main problem with GMS.
I would like to know if there is anyway to get all notifications working normally? I don't want to use AuroraStore or freeze my GMS.
Or it's better to get back on stock HMS and use ACMarket, Apptoide, etc. to get my notifications working 100%?
Thank you.

Notifications are broken for many apps with HMS-naked install .. so it is far from 100%.
I am using HMS+microG and it fixes notifications with many apps ... but not all unfortunately ... maybe 60%
1. HMS-naked (broken notifications)
2. HMS+microG (notification fix – generally ok)
3. HMS+GMS (for google apps and broken notifications)
4. HMS+GMS+icebox (for google apps and notifications)

I started to use AuroraStore with frozen GSF.. After that everything started to work perfectly. I updated my GMS over AuroraStore, installed Google Duo.. All notifications started to work. So happy. :laugh::victory:

Download & install Huawei multi-tool on your computer: https://pro-teammt.ru/en/multi-tool-huawei-honor/
Connect your Huawei to your PC and open the multi tool.
Go to the "Modifications" tab
In "Disabling/enabling applications" just disable com.google.android.gsf
And that's it.
I am starting to lose the love for my P40 Pro ...
a) microG - almost perfect except notifications with Skype
b) GMS+icebox - I cannot add my gmail account into outlook.
Might pickup an S20 Ultra 5G on the way home.

Why S20 Ultra 5G? That thing has so many issues with exynos and camera autofocus.
I got my Gmail working fine on my Outlook.
I'm a bit confused why some people get different results from GMS HMS + icebox
I'm pretty happy with the 2 setups, the only annoying thing is when I need to update my apps on aurora store it's not automatic. I have to grant install one by one ?

gmail isn't gonna work so use "Outlook" app or something else and add your gmail account there. Works great for me.
Playstore isn't gonna work if you freeze Google services Framework. Obviously. You gonna have to use Aurora Store or Apk Pure. The point of this operation (freezing GSF) is to get notifications working. I had problems with notifications when having BOTH Huawei Mobile Services AND GSF.
Android auto works?

Too bad, i'd rather used Playstore due to purchases that i made using it. I would rather not having notification to avoid the hassle with in-app purchase issue
If you freeze gsf with MT8 and unfreeze it, are there any problems. I tried something like that, I had icebox installed too, and after unfreeze at 6AM in the morning I've got a train of non-stop notification that my device is not certified by google.
Was that a side effect of freezing or just my playing with the services too much?
@sheikgr is right. But I did it slightly different, before unfreezing in icebox i opened Google Play Store - From the left menu i choose Play Protect and I turn off that function at all. Then i did unfreeze. Gmail/Maps, GPS itself.. all works fine.
But if true is what @madmack is claiming, i think its better to keep services freezed and simply to use bluemail/outlook instead of gmail. Because even if gmail is showing notification its always informs much much later than it should

Hi, I have a problem with some location based app, like Tripadvisor, after unfreezing: in place of the map, I get the message "Play services are updating" and the app can't get position.
If I freeze, some apps ask to enable high precision positiong by google and can't get position as well.
Did you experience these bugs? Thx

Can you please explain something? As I see in the website , with one method you have playstore, apps etc working but no push notifications; the other one says no gms, appstore, etc but you get notifications. Is there a way to have both without the gms freezing trick?

Can't have notifications and Google Play store at same time.
Keep frozen.
Google to find aurora appstore APK file and install for your apps and updates
I use outlook mail in exchange mode, and notification work immediately. Calendard and contact sync work like a charme
Does the Mi 10 Ultra pass SafetyNet? Aka use Google Pay, McDonalds, Pokémon Go.
And if so, how come the Mi 10 passes but the P40 Pro does not (despite both phones coming without GMS preinstalled)?
I have the phone
Security level is L1
Saftey net is as global phone
Google services is running as any global phone..100% no issue with me even in downloading all my bought apps
The only issue is that Google backup and restore is not working and Google Location History is not working. The rest all work fine, Google Pay, maps, play store, etc. on the stock china miui 12 rom of course.
Oops, had a typo. Meant to ask:
How come the Mi 10 Ultra passes but the P40 Pro does not (despite both phones coming without GMS preinstalled)? Neither phone is officially available outside China, so I doubt Xiaomi took the time to Google Certify the Mi 10 Ultra. Where does certification come from?
P40 Pro does not come with GMS pre-installed thanks to Trump.
Trump has banned Google from exporting software and licenses to Huawei, so huawei is legally not allowed to install GMS in their OS, even if not activated.
The last Huawei phone with GMS pre-installed is the P30 Pro.
P40 Pro is also available outside China in many regions with HMS instead.
On the other hand, MIUI comes with GMS pre-loaded inside all their China ROMs as well and also Google certified.
It's just not activated, and even if you activate it in China, it will not work due to the Great China Firewall blocking all GMS.
But once the phone is out of China, that's a different story, we just need to install Play Store and all GMS get activated auto-magically.
Some features are not working great as the China rom still have some tiny blocks, notably Google Location History and Backup and Restore.

If a license from Google to Huawei is all that's required. Why don't they just work around it? Can't Google just release the blob of GMS (I understand releasing the source is probably not a good idea) as freeware that doesn't require a license?
Also, what does Xiaomi use in China if not GMS or HMS?

Google Pay is installed directly from the Play Store. I have use apk mirror for Netflix and Prime Video as that was not available on play store.
Netflix absolutely works. Someone who said it doesn't either doesn't know about side loading or did something wrong. You just have to download the apk from somewhere other than the play store. Works fine.

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.

Hello!
If I am living in an unsupported country Google pay app probably by default won't be visible inside the watch? (the same thing was with Samsung pay on Galaxy Watch 3). Or does this model already has a pre-installed Google pay app in all regions and we just need to have a valid credit card?
If not, is it possible somewhere to change the region of the watch or better purchase the UK/DE version instead of my countries version?
Thanks!
No, Google pay isn't preinstalled.
Will it be possible to install it like on mobile device and use it?
I am also living in unsupported country but it I can user google pay on mobile phone with apk installation...
Could be possible..

I tried sideloading the GPay app to the Watch via ADB and its working!
I'm from Portugal and it let me add my Revolut card with no issues.
I've not tried to pay with it yet but at least GPay is opening and showing the card.

I might have jumped the gun on this one. After a few hours the Watch disables GPay, and its has to be enabled again via Samsung Wearable. When this happens I can no longer select GPay as a payment method in NFC settings. I'll keep investigating, but it seems its not a permanent solution...

Hi! Could you please share the Gpay version that you've used and also the region set on your watch? I've tried sideloading multiple Gpay versions and while I was able to install it, it always crashes when I try to open it. Really curious to learn more about your particular setup.
After changing my watch's region to UK and sideloading this version of Google Pay to it, I was finally able to make it work (I'm in the Netherlands, where it's not officially supported on wearabels).
Were you able to pay with it?
I set mine Watch's region to Germany and sideloaded the Gpay app on the phone. I was able to add a N26 card (it didn't pick up the existing card I had), but after a while it simply was not in my watch's app drawer anymore. I was able to re-enable it in the Galaxy Wearable app and tried to pay with it, which failed (could have been the store I was at).
But now the Gpay app is gone again and I'm unable to re-enable it heh.
Ok. Installed gpay via adb, configured my visa. No problem or error until now. Later I will try to pay with my watch and see what happens.
After few hours gpay app is gone from my watch, and can't push it back via adb. Adb says "succes" but it doesn't apear in my watch . I read on internet that a VPN could solve the problem, I'm studing this option now...

I reset my watch and picked UK, then installed GPay from the Play store on the watch (which looks like it's the same version as the one you posted `2.135.389276953`) and GPay app still gets disabled after a while. Is the secret to side-load it instead of installing it from the Play Store ?
UPDATE: nope, still gets disabled and removed from the home screen even after sideloading
Same story here.
I have an LTE model. When initializing it doesn't list the Western European regions for selection. However I have a UK google account as well next to the primary.
Through that I am able to install Google Pay, through the watch from the Play Store, initialize it and use it.
Until it gets disabled.
The important part here is that is is not removed but disabled only.
Meaning, if I want to pay with the watch, I can find it in the play store on the watch again and enable it. Then it will work for a period.
I can live with this but it is hardly optimal....
So basically there aren't any working solutions to make Gpay working smoothly...

Yes, for me it is baffling that they are taking care of such important features as writing a process to block modules... when there is plenty there to improve upon... Like who cares if you have Samsung Pay or Google Pay on your watch? If you don't have a compatible credit card you are F..d anyway. Samsung own Messages app is bundled next to Google's. I use the later to have RCS, since Samsung does that feature region locked as well.... can I remove Samsung's Messaging app? Only if I purge it with ADB... otherwise it remains. But not the payment apps.... sigh. bonkers.
There are regions where Samsung Pay isn't supported, and the app is therefore not preinstalled on the watch. As a result, those users are unable to use apps such as GW4Remap to remap the bottom button long-press shortcut to anything else. In order to help that group of users, I made a simple app that remaps the shortcut to Google Pay.
The app works by simply being a fake Samsung Pay app that launches Google Pay whenever it's invoked by the system through the use of the long-press shortcut. Since trying to install the app on a watch where the real Samsung Pay has been preinstalled will result in a signature mismatch, this only works on watches from regions where Samsung Pay isn't preinstalled.

A helper app to remap the Samsung Pay button shortcut on the GW4 to Google Pay on watches shipping without Samsung Pay - blunden/SPayToGPay
github.com
NOTE: Requires rebooting the watch after installing the app.
EDIT: Version 1.1 works with Google Wallet.
EDIT 2: Version 1.2 hides it from the recent apps menu. No other changes.
I sideload it with bugjaeger but it doesn't show up on my watch at all.
So I went through the installed packages using bugjaeger and I saw that samsung pay did install but long pressing the button doesn't do anything
sorry mate have to let you know I tried everything but it doesnt seem to work

When you say that Samsung Pay shows as installed, can you be more exact? Do you mean the package name or an app with that name?
Can you show me a logcat? The person on reddit testing it for me said that it worked for him but I don't know the exact details.

yeah the package name, not an app. Also, I'm the same person over on reddit so it's pointless to have 2 conversations using both reddit and xda, I'll keep you updated on reddit
It appears that restarting the watch after installing the app is required.

yep! thx for your work. btw I have noticed it only works when you're on the main watchfacew so If you're in an app and then long press it, it won't work. Wish I'd known that before I went to the store the other day, would've saved me from an embarrasing interaction

Great!
Yeah, that's how it always worked. Having it work within apps would prevent apps that listen for key presses from working properly.
works great! but you NEED to restart the watch.
Hi, it doesn't seem to launch Google Pay with the new Google Wallet update on my watch. Just thought I'd let u know

the packagename should still be the same, but the code has changed, and well we have some issues with the new Wallet killing contacless on phones at the moment too
Working: Magisk with Google Pay as of gms 17.1.22 on Pie
Ok. I tried this and it worked on gms 17.1.22, allowing one to add cards and pay in store. Warning YMMV, but this is the process I did to get this working. One caveat is that I suspect users will have to reverse some step if gms is updated and...

Sent you a test build on Reddit.
See the updated first post for a link to the updated app.
It doesn't hurt to launch Google Wallet once, although not sure if that's actually required or not.

It's up to OS to decide when and where the shortcut works. This app just pretends to be Samsung Pay and launches Google Wallet when started.
