Greek method is working well in general, this make our P40 (pro) 90 % Google compatible. Main Google apps are working perfect (Maps, YouTube, Drive, Lens and more).

What is not working and won't in a near future are still our main apps push notifications (Gmail, Outlook and majority of apps coming from Playstore with exception of Bluemail which I converted in my main email app). WhatsApp OK.

Netflix is working but I had to install it from Aurora store because not available in Playstore.

Banks apps are also still really impacted, some won't just install, some will give errors, some are working and luckily one of mine is, but not all.

I hope some improvement will still come in the future but it's already a good achievement.

Thanks all for sharing your tips and findings, really appreciated

Thank you for your feedback. Seems really a deal-breaker for me. I can't switch to any other phone than my mate 20 pro, and haven't been able since i bought it but i want a new phone. I returned the oneplus 8 pro too cause i didn't have the same battery life and 120Hz isn't that vital for me in my everyday use
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jejecule:
It's a shame you got rid of your oneplus 8 pro, it's a great phone. I own both P40 pro and One8pro and to be honest oneplus is really better phone at the moment.

Oh, and which backup to uninstall? Do you have a name for the package?

[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lysy1o2:
This doesn't solve the problem. It seems that the problem is related to latest update of EMUI ver. 10.1.0 which integrates the Huawei Backup App into core system features. latest Huawei Backup app. ver is 10.1.0.560, and we can't unistall it, even though the app is forced stopped, it still sits in the system background somewhere. When I try to install the the Huawei Backup app from the movie above, (ver 10.0.1.320.) its giving the errorr msg:

1. Failed to install the package because of the system issues

2. The package is invalid

When trying once again the msg is:

You already have a newer version of this app.

SO the main question is how to get back to an older version of BAckup app while haveing the latest EMUI ?

BR,

Mike
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] s3axel:
Just wanted to share an observation:

I just started fresh with my P40 Pro (did a full reset), signed in to Huawei and allowed HMS update as part of the setup process. Then I installed the lzplay app and it worked as intended (I still need to go through the rest of the google installation process, though)....

I think the backup app in question is com.huawei.KoBackup (can e.g. be identified with a package manager), is that correct ? If yes there is already version .560 installed with lzplay running fine! To find it in the System/Apps list you need to search for a different wording ("Datensicherung" on my German phone, don't know how this translates to an english package name, maybe starting with "data..." finds something.)

Am I on a wrong path here and looking at the wrong backup app ?
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lysy1o2:
Thanks [MENTION=5155342]s3axel[/MENTION] , will perfom this right away and share my feedback as well. Fingers crossed.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xtrustkillx:
Dont know then. Ive just uninstalled .560 and installed. 380 and lz was working again. Im on 121 firmware
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lysy1o2:
Ok, so finally it worked for me as well. I did a factory reset, needed to have a SIM card in, and allow all necessary permissions. I have followed step by step these 2 guides, from Rui Tukayana, and it went good:

1."How to fix LZ Play new "May Error" while installing Google Mobile Services"

https://youtu.be/6TnuamFAp8g

2. Google Services on Huawei P40 Pro [NO ERRORS]

https://youtu.be/lYOU_YxrHhc

Just one very important mark here, when going through different guides you have to always use the zip file dedicated to the specific guide. My error was that i was using different apks from different movie. When downloaded zip file shared by Rui, it all went well.

Greetz !

Hello to everybody

I just try the " greek method " and it´s working at this time
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Snajperica:
what is greek methode?
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] limestar:
Finally

Ok after trying this guide and about 4 other YouTube guides I finally got google services without errors using this YouTube guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRNnLInoSmw&feature=emb_title Just skip the part about updating backup in AppGallery and LZplay will work fine.

This guide above has far less steps than in the first post here and it doesn't require you use Device ID. Just make sure on the final step of downloading 5 or 6 apps you queue them up really quickly as that's the trick this working. Make sure they are still downloading when you do final step.

All the other guides I had the following problems:

I kept getting the same GSF ID

I couldn't uninstall play services or it would hang

Took forever to get GSF ID back

Errors just kept happening

Too many steps and varying guides

Hi guys, yesterday i got my P40 Pro in Qatar .

I used the below method to install the apps.

The files can be downloaded from the description of the video.

[youtube]8sfJVGqM_5Q[/youtube]

Worked very well for me.

Everything is working for me except Airwatch intelligent Hub Which my work uses for email.

The app during setup does something weird were it tried to install a different work only play store and Google services. ( Though from what i see on the play store there are in general a lot of negative reviews of the app)

Anyone had an issue like this?

Try the video for the install works great.

And appreciate if anyone is able to help with the Airwatch issue

[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Tmel14:
I absolutely love my Mate Pro 20 and having initially ruled out getting a phone that doesn't come with GMS, I am so tempted by the P40 Pro.

I've seen links to videos explaining how to integrate GMS and before deciding whether to purchase, I was hoping some users could describe their experiences/share their knowledge particularly with the following:

- Once you have managed to do it successfully, is it a one-off process or will you have to go through similar steps every time there is a Google/Huawei/Android update?

- I would be cloning over from my Mate Pro 20, outside of Google apps, can I expect the majority of my apps e.g. The Athletic, Instagram, betting apps to work?

- Beyond Google Pay, are there any apps which are persistent no-gos? I'm not too fussed about Maps but would want Whatsapp, Instagram, Gmail, eBay, Chrome, YouTube and YT Music/Google Music.

- Are notifications for these apps an issue or have recent methods managed to fix this?

- Does anyone have experience with any of these UK banking apps working - First Direct, Natwest, Starling?

- A bit of an aside but is it worth waiting for the P40 Pro+ due to the camera upgrade?
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] arsenal74:
Others on here will be answer most of these better than I can but I can try and help with a couple. I have a P40 pro and am using it totally without GPS. Here is how I have got on so far:

Work 100%

Whatsapp, Facebook and Instagram work just fine including notifications.

Lastpass works perfectly (I have read others commenting on getting nagged re GPS but I have not seen that

Amazon stuff works as normal, except for the photos app which crashes, I do not think this is Google related though so hopefully that will work again.

Microsoft apps work, Spotify is good

For email I have switched to Outlook which works ok including notifications.

Nova (including prime) and Solid explorer transfered over and work as normal

I am using Firefox, I do have Chrome working but obviously cannot log into it.

First Direct banking app works ok as does PayPal. I transfered both using Phone Clone have read that they may not work if you update from a non-official source, no idea if this is true but as I have another droid will probably update them using Phone Clone moving forward as they are rarely updated and it is very easy to do.

Work fine but have not tested notifications yet

Hive, Twitter, National Lottery, Just Eat, Tesco groceries Home, BBC news and sport and Kasa.

Partial No Gos (work but not 100%)

Netflix (no HD), Newton mail (no notifications) Maps (work only logged out)

Total No-gos I have found so far

Uber, Google Photos, eBay, The Athletic

[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mafozi:
Hello, I flashed p40pro by the method from the first post, but obviously it didn't work properly and I did it by the other method with the video in Greek.

For now, the phone works, can anyone write what SHOULD NOT be updated after that?

Because after the first flash I had 3 services on Google, which I installed from Google Play and I doubt if they started to come out my warnings again and I had to flash it a second time.

And nowhere did I see / read what we can and what WE CANNOT install / update after this method.

The applications that I had to install from the front phone, which is p30pro, are Android System WebView,Carrier Services,Gplay Service for AR

While I was using p30pro they were updated regularly and I don't know if they caused the problem after installing them on p40pro.

And another question to ask, if an update to the Google Play service comes out, can it be updated or not?

[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] arsenal74:
I am thinking of trying to install it now. I really wanted to try and go without it and it is just so close to working for me Google free but I think the few annoyances will grate the longer I go so maybe it is time? I can live without Google pay but it is a shame there is no decent alternative for Google photos, I am also discovering more and more that most apps work fine but most seem to rely on GPS for notifications so am not getting notifications outside of email, whatsapp, SMS and Facebook.

All that has held me back so far is a slight worry about installing a load of unofficial APKs to get this all working and also likely having to repeat it on a regular basis too. Lastly other than photos I do quite like the idea of going Google free.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] arsenal74:
So for those who have installed GPS, are all notification working ok?

Without GPS installed, I already have the following providing notifications ok:

Whatsapp

SMS

Outlook

Also I don't really understand what is the point of the LZPlay app... that app is supposed to download and install the apps itself (based on the chinese in it)...

So I followed the older guide on setting up GMS without errors but with broken push notifications. I read here that folks are getting push working with the "Greek method".

Im just wondering if anyone could tell me the steps I would need to follow to migrate from the old method to the latest one with working notifications and play store at the same time?

Thanks in advance!!
