Dear all,
I just bought a Huawei Nova in Shanghai (chinese version). It has 5.1 emui. But no google services. Ive tried to download and install them and gave all permissions but still not able to start. Also i did install purevpn apk but it is frozen again at the beginning. It is about android 7? How can i solve this problem? Best,
Probably it's the same story as with Xiaomi phones with Chinese ROMs. Google is banned in China that's what you cannot use it. Try to find official international ROM for your device and flash it.
Hiapp has a modified google play and google play services. It worked on my device in China on EMUI 4. Not sure why the apk is force closing. Do they have options to set up the vpn manually?
hank you but i do not want to flash a rom. i found out that purevpn app is freezing when i was trying to start hiapp's google play. after removing it, it works but slow (nothing to do here). but still sad about google play and other google services part.

I now run LineageOS on my phone, so I have flashed GApps. Before that I was on EMUI 4 and it seemed fine with HIapps google. There is a free VPN called zerovpn and I got that to work in most places (again I am also in China).
Some days ago the meizu m2 of my brother started having problems with the google apps not working any more (completely white screen in Play store and nothing working well). For this reason I decided to unlock its bootloader and install Lineage OS but after flashing Open Gapps I noticed that the google apps keep crashing all the time.
Looking around these forums I noticed that there are a lot of people with the same problem and for this reason I wanted to open this thread to collect all the discussions on the problem and to track any possible news about the problem itself and possible solutions if found.
I think that the cause of the problem may be Google discontinuing support to Gapps on phones not certified (I read some news on this topic some months ago).
I would like to know if someone has already found a solution for the problem to make the Phone usable again with the original Flyme OS or also a custom rom.
Thanks in advance.
[UPDATE] As a first solution for now I installed an old version of the gapps (You can find all the open gapps by date on the tags of the open gapps repository on github i.e: https://github.com/opengapps/arm64/tags?after=20180622) like suggested by someone on other threads. It seems to work for now because just after installation I deactivated the play store from the system settings so that google play services cannot be updated. I use yalp store (available on f-droid) to install apps from the play store
hello , i have a same problem,
this problem is with OpenGAPPS and MindTheGapps with 4 testing roms (Lineage, Viper, CrDroidAndroid, Resurrection_Remix),
in original Flyme OS is same problem.
I've tried Lineage 14, Resurrection Remix, Viper OS, Lineage 12, MIUI and everywhere Google Play Services crashes. As "whole m2 development is dead now" there is no hope that this will be solved.
At the end I installed AOSP 8.1 and it all working fine.:fingers-crossed:
Let me check it and find a solution for this. I will remind you guys what we can do to use it without issues if i found some. M2 is a secondary phone for me now. So let me try.
Updated first post with a possible solution
Uninstall the update (google & google play services), and turn off "auto update" on play store. Hopefully it can help.

Could you specify exactly which open gapps version you used (5.0-9.0?, nano/pico?)
And did you install open gapps on the Lineage OS you already had flashed on or onto stock ROM?

I installed OpenGapps Micro (of the 1st of August 2018) on Lineage OS
Solution:
1. Install 4.5.4I firmware
2. Root your device
3. Unlock bootloader
4. Install twrp 3.2.1
5. Flash AOSP 8.1 Rom
6. Flash arm64 8.1 micro gapps
Working all fine. Good luck.

Hey, I have a few questions regarding this.
Does FlymeOS 6.2.0.0G (or 6.3.0.0A for that matter) not work at all with open gapps?
Is there a point to install that instead of AOSP 8.1?
I still use FlymeOS stock 4.5.4l and I don't know why it would be more beneficial to use AOSP instead of a recent version of stock FlymeOS.
Does AOSP 8.1 have a lot of bugs?
I checked its forum page, it seems quite a lot of things are broken.
The ones that mostly concern me are the battery problems (though I have battery issues with the stock 4.5.4l FW currently as well), bad headphone sound quality, no navbar and sensor issues. Can you confirm that those are still present or has been fixed since?
hi
any solution yet i try to install google play service .apk and i get message tha telling me that i need to update it pls help me how to resolve google problem
Ok here is the only solution for google play services in flyme.
from security app go to data then network management and uncheck play service from wlan and cellular.....play service cant update now.....to run play store and play games and other google apps, follow the same process and check it.....then open your desired app very quickly and uncheck the play service again through recent screen.....dont leave it checked more than a minute or it will update automatically.....

Do you happen to have a mirror? It downloads extremely slowly. If not, I'll try downloading it now and will mirror it here when it's finished.
EDIT:
Nevermind, found a mirror on the flyme forums:

Hi, I am the one that posted the mega link but you will have to rename it as update.zip I had to change the name to make it more clear in my mega account sorry about that.
So, I was on Global Stable 10.3.11 for one week while I was waiting for my Bootloader Unlock.
Today I unlocked the bootloader and installed 10.3.15 Xiaomi.EU.
The only game that I play on my phone is Torque Drift which now says it's not compatible with my phone. I tried everything and didn't fix my problem.
Anyone has solution to this?
Tried:
-Editing Build.Prop.
-Uninstalling updates to Play Store/Play Services.
-Clearing Data and Cache to Play Store.

Discovered the game yesterday and says incompatible with my Redmi K2O Pro (Chinese version, Global ROM flashed).
Contacted TorqueDrift Devs and told me to update Googloe Play / Play Store app and Android build.

Update to Developer 9.10.17 and you can download it through Play Store, otherwise go with manual installation.
Folks
I had to install WhatsApp using an APK since the Huawei Play store did not have it
How long will the application work usually before I have to download another new version of rhe APK and install it. I ask this because this is how I had to install it on three different Huawei family phones and they are elderly and I'm not living near them
Thx
Hello,
I wanted to know if it was possible to install play store on the Nubia Alpha Watch?
Thank you
unfortunately mission is impossible
Chrome and WhatsApp is possible to install , but useless - input method is ridiculous
