I did this in the past and it worked (VPN, clear play store history/cache, uninstall, log back in with US google account, etc). However, it is not working anymore. Anyone have any suggestions?

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 ?

Okay thanks for this ,is this Clone process part of Huawei thingy or independent app?
I've tried Huawei Clone , No chance.

Did you just download Barclays apps from your play store? That'll be really shocking to me as Barclays app doesn't even show up in my play store.

Go to this link and install the shared directory apk. Then go to install Barclays app on a 3rd party resource platform such as apkmirror or somewhere similar
It's working on my phone now
Nationwide Banking App UK
Does anyone know if the Nationwide Banking App works via transfer via phone clone? If someone could try this would be great as this is a deal breaker if i get the phone

Hi bud,
I am currently testing the GMS installation and after doing it I phone cloned the apps from my old android to the p40 pro. the barclays app is working and so is Starling. Will try Monzo later on.

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.

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..

Google Pay (Wear OS) 2.135.389276953 APK Download by Google LLC - APKMirror Free and safe Android APK downloads

On mobile APK installed working without any problems, but how you can install it on the Wear OS app, not from the app store, it is possible somehow to upload it like on the phone? (sorry for the newbie questions, it will be my first Wear OS watch.
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'll update tomorrow when i try.

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.
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.
