Google Certifications? - Meizu Pro 7 Questions & Answers

I am looking to pick up a prob7 however with the recent device blocking I need to be sure of google certification. Google’s official list includes all variants of the Pro 7 family, however i’ve seen zero proof from the actual device. Can anyone confirm whether the device is certified in the play store. Also, which rom variants are certified? Do I need the G rom or is the A rom also certified? I am

Maybe new devices will be approved or you need to wait for a system update.

What do you mean by Google certification? Are you interested if this phone would run Google Play, services and the whole suite of Google apps? It does.
G Rom has Google built in and every Google thing works as expected.
A Rom comes Google free, but you can install Google Store and all other Google things easily (by apk).

Chinese phones - Need Google Play and Google Services!

Hello there,
So, I randomly bought 2 smartphones in China for developing apps (not a very good idea).
The phones are:
- Asus Pegasus X002: comes with a Asus ROM. (Android 4.4.4)
- Vivo Y51: comes with Funtouch OS based on Android (Android 5.0.2)
What I need now is to get Google Play and Google Services working on both this phones.
For what I've been searching I think I have 2 options:
- Install another ROM (I didn't find any so far...)
- Manually install Google Play and Google Services (which I already tried and keep getting "Unfortunately, Google Services has stopped").
Also, I've been able to get root access to the Asus model, so I have more freedom.
Can anyone help me to get Google Play and Google Services on both this phones? I didn't found any helpful information for doing this on these specific models. I've been basically checking guides how to do this for other models and trying to do it on my phones. And so far, I didn't get any success...
Any help would be great!
Thanks,
João

How to add my China device to Google supported device list?

Hi,
already finished production of MTK8127 pcb in China. and we are still customize our ROM by their engineer.
But I also made map apk for my device and I also need to add my 7inch MTK8127 tablet onto google device list.
Do you know anyone how to add my device onto google device list?
I sent msg to google. but their reply is not what I wanted:crying:
If Google didn't give you the answer you wanted there is nothing you can do.
There are many things you have to do to be added to Google devices. No way around it.

Hello
Thank you for your reply.
After this post I found out only few allowed factory & some new API level tablet can be applied GMS license.
I asked pcba factory to update their installed Google version. they said I have to place order 20k PCBA.
It's very hard for us to keep update Google version..
I found Dragon touch, iRULU tablet in amazon.com.
I think they also didn't apply GMS license.(maybe their device hasn't installed "com.google.android.gms.apk")
Even they applied GMS license for their device, only few device is applied.
This is mostly due to these devices being out of china. Google and China don't have the best history

Does Google have a trial/test version of Google Play Services for developers?

I'm trying to download Google Play Services/Google Mobile Services to an Android development kit. However, it's doesn't have the license from Google because it is unregistered. It takes one being an established manufacturer planning to sell several devices to get the Google Mobile Services license. However, I'm not at that stage yet. I've also tried just downloading the apk's and installing them on the device, but they keep crashing. I also tried using OpenGapps, but they don't seem to load on my Snapdragon 820 Development Kit from Intrinsyc.
Does anyone know if Google has a trial/test version of Google Play Services/Google Mobile Services for developers to test on devices they're making?

HUAWEI matepad 10.4 2020 GMS/Google Play questions

I recently received a new matepad in the UK and have been struggling for days to get anything up and running so far.
Successful so far is YouTube Vance, it's the only Google related app that I've managed to get working.
Any third party app I've tried is either outdated or outright doesn't run on the device. Examples are Lzplay chatapp and insalling everything manually.
Nothing has worked so far. I was also wondering why there isn't a development channel for this device as it has such big potential but just suffering from the lack of a play store.
Any advice / help would be greatly appreciated. I've tried all the usual stuff but it's hard to find anything online about this tablet.

Youtube Vanced isn't a Google authored app.
Due to an order of the madman in the White House, Huawei since almost a year is no longer allowed to pre-install Google Play Store and/or GMS on their devices.
You have to install Google Play Store ( consists of 4 APKs ) and/or GMS manually by yourself.

Hi thank you for your reply. I'm aware of the reasoning behind the idiotic decision, I was just wondering for my device specifically speaking as its so new and has a lot of problems with the preexisting methods. I've found no way to load GSM onto the device as of yet and made this thread to explore if there were any potential way whatsoever. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

Question who is on a custom rom? how do you like it?

who is on a custom rom? how do you like it? do you recommend it?
EvolutionX - link to the ROM is in the 6 Pro forum. Some great modifications while maintaining all stock features. Very good battery.
Proton is very good - minimal apps - great online installation.
I'ld love to see a MIUI port - and waiting for LineageOS to show up.

In my understanding, not present by default:
GrapheneOS is also hard at work on filling in gaps from not bundling Google apps and services into the OS. We aren't against users using Google services but it doesn't belong integrated into the OS in an invasive way.
(https://grapheneos.org/features)
They provide a compatibilty layer and capability to install it as an app
CalyxOS since Jan/Feb with no G stuff. I'm not moving from here it's a happy place for my phone and use case.
