Actually this "shady Chinese app" is just an easy way. You can also just download the apks for gapps from wherever you want and install them by yourself to achieve the same result.

Also, if you aim to avoid surveillance and stuff I don't see anything but going to live in a forest without any electronical device. But be fast, I heard they are burning.

I am using Netflix with a Chinese phone that s support was ending with Android 6. Now on Android 9, 10 is already for download.Banking apps work also. Magisk did the trick.I would not worry. For me the pro s are: unlocked bootloader and out of the box without Google apps. That's not bad at all. For me that is a reason to get me that phone.

I'm not at all a Android specialist but could it be that the apk mentioned was signed with the Huawei platform key? In that case it should have system privileges on execution and could "sideload" the necessary gms apps with the necessary rights, no?
[Huawei Mate 30 Pro Questions & Answers] LuMe96:
Well looks like I wasn't too far off actually. I was going to buy one during my upcoming Asia trip end of October. Definitely going to hold off now that sideloading is no longer possible. Shame because I really can't think of an alternative device I would like use instead.

Following the current situation, Google play services sideloading is blocked now.

Some users including myself can limit Google services usage with just using some apps for alternatives...

Samsung internet browser

Evernote

Onedrive/box

The question is, can anyone confirm using Google maps or will it be blocked from installing? Can we use whatsapp with gmail backup? Can any confirm using YouTube vanced with micro g support?

Can we manage without using Google play services? ?
[Huawei Mate 30 Pro Questions & Answers] lawtq:
I'm actuality surprised how much I don't miss Google.

Surviving easily with HUawei app store, Aptoide app store and also amazon app store. A bit annoying to use 3 but they give me all the apps I had before, gsam, accubattery, WhatsApp and so on...

Google apps you can use are:

Google maps, you can't sign in though.. Aptoide

Gmail, I use HUawei email app to sign into it.. HUawei

Chrome beta.. Apk mirror

Google drive.. Amazon app store

Google translate.. Aptoide

That's me sorted

2 updates since getting the phone a few days ago. It'll update frequently being the China version

The European version is out https://www.quickmobile.ro/noutati but I'm fine with this version. Honestly. The only way that version would better the China now that google is not here to me, is WiFi calling. I miss that. That's it

[Huawei Mate 30 Pro Questions & Answers] kyero985:
I have a friend visiting me from HK next week. I asked her to buy the Mate 30 Pro for me and she agreed to bring it over.

I'll be testing if I can sideload some of the Google apps even without GMS to see how far I can go without needing it. It's pretty evident that battery life should improve as GMS won't be hogging up RAM and CPU power in the background, no matter how small of a footprint it uses up as it all adds up. I'll also post some photo comparisons between my current P30 Pro on the the 9.1 .193 firmware.

Since the ban is still on going and there might be unavailability of GMS out of the box for the mate 30 series for a long time and possibly never, is it worth it to buy the mate 30 pro or should we go for another device like the Note 10+?
[Huawei Mate 30 Pro Questions & Answers] gharris040604:
I've got both, I use the mate 30 pro mainly, I've got gms working fine with the apps I use.
[Huawei Mate 30 Pro Questions & Answers] davidmaxwaterman:
It depends if you are tied into Google or not. I have a Mate 30 Pro 5G/512G and haven't even tried to get GMS installed. To me, this is a wake up call that I have become too 'locked in' to Google, and have left myself open to this sort of political pain. I've been progressively untying myself over the past few months, and there have been very few problems.

TBH, my only real problems are due to me having a Chinese version, and it not really supporting English. It's a real shame, because I can sort of see what they're doing, but many things just don't work and/or are empty. It seems to me like real innovation but they keep it all for the Chinese market and replace it all with Google's stuff for the western markets.

IMO, this is the perfect time to 'fill out' that English support so it works as well as it does in Chinese.

okay so what rom shall i look into for a beginner?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] thezoltar:
Well, that depends on what you want from your device. Since you asked about WM5 I'm guessing you don't want to go with WM6. If I was flashing I'd personnally go with the newest ROM available. There's lots of choices, you just need to read up on each of them. Some are plain vanilla, others have a great deal of customization built in. You may need to try a few to see what works best for you. The main thing is to READ,READ,READ everything you can find about flashing ROM's if you haven't done it before.

Start here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=285435

What you flash is really a personal choice. Are you unhappy with what you have now?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vasilli:
yea i am

it has alot of stuff that i dont want in it like the msn sign on etc etc, plus i know this phone can do alot more than what its currently being asked to do .
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] thezoltar:
Since you say your just starting out I'd suggest you install you backup program of choice and spend some time dorking up your phone with all kinds of software. Some of it will work well, some won't. Some won't work at all and some won't play nice with each other. After you get comfortable killing and restoring your phone like its a casual occurrance you'll be ready for flashing. The main thing is you'll want to figure out what programs you really want to keep no matter what. You'll get to be a master of the hard reset. After about fifty of these you'll be glad you have everything you love saved and backed up to your storage card. Reinstalling a large number of your favorite programs and reregistering each and every one of them gets to be tedious after a while. Thats the beauty and ease behind the backup software. Back up alot. Then backup some more......

Just be aware that a backup will not restore a ROM, only reflashing will. You can generally get the stock ROM from the HTC website or various other linked sites.

[Lenovo Z6 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] benjieb:
Hi all,

I thought it might be useful have a thread dedicated to talking ONLY about official Chinese Stock ROM.

I received my Z6 Pro with a very poor Global ROM, so quickly decided to try the true official ROM, hoping despite its weaknesses it would get far more frequent updates.

Just for reference, here is how I flashed:

Used this guide and source for required files MOD Edit:- Links Removed

Some key steps:

Get phone ready (important) :

Gain access to developer options

Enable USB debugging

Enable unlocking Bootloader

Get computer ready (also important)

Install QDLoader HS-USB Driver 9008

Install latest version of QPST (2.7.474)

Flash

Reboot phone in EDL mode (adb command or press power + both volume buttons)

Connect USB cable

Flash file with recommended settings in QFIL. Make sure “Erase all date before download” is NOT selected.

Ok so that took me to stock rom 11.0.542.

Immediately after I had an OTA to upgrade to 11.1.036; and another one to 11.1.105.

Got rid of Chinese apps and installed play store from the Chinese store.

Now there seem to be one major issue I very quickly noticed with the “4D” gesture. If I use it most of the time I can’t access the home and the home screen is like frozen…

Anyone has same issue ?

Please report other issues / tips for improvements.

Thanks

Hi .

Curious I had 4 in the hands and all had the same problem so I made a post on Samsung France and several users have found that.

Could this be due to a bad series in production? In any case on the forum us some who have the same problem are very angry.

After having at samsung a clam shell, a slider, an S1, an S5, a mote 1, a Note 2, a Note 4, an S7 and last A40. They are all excelent in telephony. The problem is that Samsung does not do not react.

Even the service told me to return it and get it refunded. Damage aside it was a good smartphone. I am waiting to see more responses on the forum. Thank you for your return.

See your soon

I tried to search for this but really didn't know what to even search for.

I've hard reset my phone twice after adding and deleting lots of apps while trying to find my favs. Both times I've used the Sprite Backup that came with my phone (ATT Tilt) and both times I've had to set up a new Oulook account for my Gmail. This isn't really an issue, just a pain.

What is an issue is that it won't allow me to reuse the Account Name. Not to big a deal, I just don't like having to come up with a new name every time. Is there a way to delete the old names somewhere? Are they in the registry somewhere?

Sorry if this has been asked before, I've just never seen it in the 3 months I've been following this forum and had no luck finding it myself.
[General Topics] Just about right:
I'll be the first to tackle this, but need some clarification on it. You hard reset then do a restore using sprite? Or you hard reset and then restore only the apps? Any extra information would be greatly appreciated.
[General Topics] bosox15:
Sorry, yeah, backup "My Documents, Email, and Personal Databases" with Sprite backup. Hard Reset, Restore from backup, then reinstall all apps. Both times it hasn't actually restored my email account so I've had to do it manually, but when I click "New E-Mail Account" and go through the steps, I get a warning screen that says "That name is already assigned to another account. Enter a unique name and try again". Is it possible it only half restores, putting some type of info file somewhere but not actually listing it under "Messaging" screen.

The last time it also didn't back up my contacts, had to get those through ActiveSync from Outlook on my PC. Needless to say, I don't think I'll rely on Sprite again.
[General Topics] Just about right:
By doing the backup and then restoring you are allowing some previous settings from your device to be redone. This is usually good in the big picture of things, but when it comes to email, by restoring even a little bit, it will recognize that account. I never back up my email, unless I do it via outlook on a daily basis and such. By doing that I can restore it to outlook if it crashes or if I need something from the past that I had deleted. I wish I could give you some good news and say it shouldn't happen, but it does. Try only backing up everything but your email accounts. Also what device are you using. Some have quirks that others don't.
[General Topics] bosox15:
I thought that might be it. Too bad I just did it and don't feel like reinstalling and getting my settings the way I like em. Its the ATT Tilt, don't know if that really matters.

Just remember it when you go to do it next time. :)
