How can I install Google playstore on Chinese ROM Honor 8x phone? - Honor 8X Questions & Answers

Last week my friend buy a Honor 8x mobile form Vmall Huawei online store in china, and after come back to USA, he gift me the phone. but here i face some problem. i can not install google play store. Please help me and give me a solution how could i do that.

First you need to get and run the GMS installer:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/themes/gms-installer-google-play-100-huawei-t3809447
Then get the Google installer, it's all in Chinese, just run it and approve all the installs:

Make sure you grant Google Play Services and the Play Store permissions.
Finally you will probably need to update Play Services and the Play Store, and these can be a little buggy when it comes to updating themselves, so use the Yalp store instead:

This worked for me, hope it works for you too!

Hi, I found a solution here: https://youtu.be/FubclG3t-3A

Hope this help! (I was able to install everything on my Chinese JSN-AL00a device).

Greenify app purchase problem

I have bought this app from Amazon app store. Before the Last few update, it worked great. But after updating it through google play store (suggested by Devoloper) I stil cannot enable the donation features. please solve the problem
here is a video showing the problem
Greenify app purchase problem
Please go through the other threads. This has been asked umpteen times and answered.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56215780&postcount=3
Refer to this and please do a search before asking anything.
those who are having the problem from donation package, i think is different from me. as they are facing problems with donation package app. but as i have bought and installed the app from amazon app store and it does not provide any donation package app, i thought it may be right to post a new thread.
i have tried the solutions mentioned on the other thread but no luck
the problem is that where i live, online payment via credit card is not possible, and also the the Google play cad is not available. if it was possible i would have bought it again from Google play store, but i cant.
if any one please watch the YouTube video and give me any solution... it would be very helpful
@oasisfeng,
I think that only you will be able to solve this.

New Huawei Mate 10 Problems

Hi there all,
I recently received a Huawei Mate 10 as a gift from a Chinese citizen. The phone is manufactured and bought in China which means its region is locked as China. I have now returned to the UK but considering Google is forbidden in China, I have no Google PlayStore (Only the Huawei appstore which has all Chinese apps). If I download WhatsApp etc. from a browser, it just disappears and cannot launch. Only app I have is WeChat which is Chinese originally anyway.
Can anybody provide me with some help for downloading some apps like Whatsapp, YouTube, Instagram etc.? I've seen that people say you may have to rebrand and root the phone etc. but I'm not at all tech-savvy.
Thanks in advance.

The best way is to rebrand you Mate 10 to the European or UK version. Follow this guide - > https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3716814
If you don't want to rebrand, you can just install Google play store and Google play services. Look on YouTube for guides how to install Play Store on a Chinese phone. A lot quicker, easier and safer than rebranding.

So this is what they said (loosely translated from Mandarin) :
"To comply with government rules on telecommunication and smart device usage and information handling, we can not provide or develop support for Google Play and associated services. Please understand. We appreciate your love for our devices."
Yayy

It's confirmed that by the next update we will be able to enjoy Google apps. Check here:

But i think getting a Taiwanese version is even better.

Asking them is useless to be honest they wouldn't know. They would tell you to consult with their repair center for further instructions. So i wouldn't take their word. We will be able to install Google services but it will take some time.
Is there an update on this matter?
My ROG phone (CN import) is about to arrive, and not being able to install Google Play Services etc. on it would be a big issue for me. With all my previous chinese phones (Huawei, Smartisan, Vivo NEX, etc) I have been able to somehow work around it through APK's or flashing, but this doesn't seem to work with this ASUS phone, correct?
Can anyone confirm what has been tried and failed?
Thanks a lot in advance for your support and input.

Every Google installer 2 & 3 (chinese & english version) have been tried. Also installing all the required Google apks individually has also been tried, none of them work. A representative from Asus has confirmed that the current software version doesn't support Google services and we will have to wait for the next update which will support Google services as promised. Check my previous post with the links to Asus ROG phone forum there you will find the Asus representative feedback.

Hi all,
Did anyone make any progress on this?
On my end I'm contsantly checking and posting on the official ASUS Zenforums (China), but no luck so far.
I'm getting quite desperate, as this 1000$+ phone is currently rather useless to me.

Patience is a virtue!. I suspect we will be getting Google services working properly with the next major update(Android Pie 9.0). Personally I have migrated from using Google apps and found alternatives.
You could use Nox on your PC, add your Google account to the VM, install your app, extract the apk, copy to your phone, then install the app there.

Mmh, sorry for asking redundant questions, but how would this work?
It seems the issue is that the CN ROG phone doesn't support Google Framework, no APK's have worked so far. Other, none-GF apps run fine.
Would your method somehow cirumvent this issue, and would I be able to install Google Play and its related services on this phone?
Thanks a lot for your time and support.
This would make it so you could just side load the apps.

Actually Google maps(without account login) & translate work fine without Google framework I have them installed on my device.
If you need all Google apps to work on your device there is a way for that but they wouldn't be working directly instead through an Emulator installed on the device. PM me if you need the instructions.
Otherwise if you need a good Google playstore replacement I would recommend "yalp store" & "aptoide" or apk mirror website.

To be honest, if you want to use Google Apps, dont get a CN device. You will save yourself from wasting time, and severe headaches. The model in HKG will support Google Apps out of the box. I am getting mine this weekend. I got a Huawei Tablet from CN, and never again will I get a CN device of any sort.

Hi !
I will be more than glad if you could please email me the instructions to use ROG CN version with Google Play Store and Apps as you wrote in your post:
Will this enable me to use/sync Google Contacts & calendar ?

Problem installing the google everything on the Honor 20 Pro 8 + 256

Hello, every one.
just picked up the Honor 20 Pro in Shanghai.
I work in Shanghai and needed a new phone.
So picked up the Honor 20 Pro.
Knowing that the Honor 20 itself has the Google Framework on it. So, being straightforward, I automatically thought that the 20 pro will have it also so that I can update the Google play and got everything back.
Believed that it is the first machine that Huawei / Honor has taken away the framework totally.
I downloaded GMS installer from internet and it is saying that it is not allowed ( not sure if there may be more different versions of it ).
Some other game me total 4 files:-
google account management apk
google framwork apk
google play apk
google play service apk
installed everything and then go back to the settings to add account, selected google and then screen stuck for -ever.
Any one has any solutions to install the google back on Honor 20 pro and work?
Thanks.

Fortnite Skin
Hello, if you don’t play Fortnite can you pm me the code for the wonder skin using the instructions below. Please!!! I’m a huge fan of the game and really want the skin.
Open up AppGallery. From there, click on the “Me” icon, and then on “Gift.” This should bring up a banner that has the Honor 20 Wonder outfit (a teal and purple colored girl) on it. Click the banner to copy its code.

In fact you should be able to install google play from huawei app store. No need GMS from elsewhere.

Incorrect! Even Honor 20 can use your way to have Google ready.
But Honor 20 Pro not!
Honor 20 Pro don't have any google framework preinstalled.
And even you manual install or use many of "Google Installer",
All not work.
You may check huawei's official forum,, more then 100+ post complain about this.
It's just wont work.
Ask huawei's customer service, they say "maybe Google Service will support later, but no promise"

Google Services on imported Huawei Mate 10?

Hi, I imported a Huawei Mate 10 2.5 years ago from China because it's the only way I could get a phone that has a 16:9 screen!
However, I can't download the NHS Test and Trace app (I'm in the UK), and while I have Google Play Services, I understand I need Google Services. Can someone please explain the way to get this in the most simple terms? Thanks.

I was hoping someone could tell me here, as I understood this was the font of all knowledge.
The method I used was:
I happen to have mate 9, which was running Android version 9 and Mate 10 Pro AL00 ( just like you) with ver 10.
- I used HiSuite to downgrade my 10Pro to Android 9
- Use backup on Mate 9 and backed up google services, google play onto external USB drive
- connected the same drive and copied files to 10 Pro - download dir
- install google services and google play on 10 Pro
- update 10Pro to ver 10 using HiSuite
