Please Advise regarding the Chinese version of my device - Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I purchased Honor 7 (PLK-AL10) 64GB from Aliexpress.com but aftere received it, I found that the rom is Chinese version and I faced problem to create google accounts as other regular devices.
How can I change the Chinese rom to international version? is it available or not yet?
please advise
my regards

Not advisable to change, because it also changes the firmware for important things like GSM&LTE.
But the fix is fairly easy: go into the Huawei app store k(NOT! the google playstore) and download the the google playstore, and google contac synch. (just search for "google" and based on the icons download what you need)
Once the google playstore and contact synch work, you can forget the Huawei store.
Alternatively you can search here in XDA for "gapps" as an installable apk. Careful though, there are many fakes & infected o es out there, so stick to xda!
Free advice: when buying in china always request that they install google apps.

Thank you for your reply.
I did as you advised that to go to Chinese market and download the google play but please note that it will work temporary maybe one day or less.
My regards

I installed Gapps (Play store, contacts) from Huawei store on my Honor and it works successfully, without any problem. (but Play Store self-updated to newest version).
GMaps also works.

Well some one? I just can't able to run it. And I can't find anything in internet. So please help me
did your device originally come with the play store? if not then the play store is not surported. in that case install the 1mobile market, a good alternative. they have almost the same apps as google play (just search 1mobile market in your browser and install the market)

It is very common that chinese tablets comes without google sync provider at all. Do you have google account in account management settings? If not you could install google apps from wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Gapps

Is there any rom for the G9650 variant without Facebook pre installed?

The title says it all, I'm looking for a G9650 (Snapdragon) rom without Facebook pre installed
I'm currently using the ZTO unbranded ROM and it came with only a few apps, which is great, basically some Google Apps, MS Office and Facebook, but I want to use a modded Facebook app and it's impossible to remove the Facebook app without root, and I don't want to root because I'll lost Samsung Pay.
Is there any solution for my scenario?
I have the chinese version and it does not contain Facebook neither google apps (playstore and google services ..) i did install them from apkmirror

I'm no expert. But if you open the APK of the modded app, it's just a compressed file, you can rename it and install it side by side with the old app.

Google Dialer and VoLTE

Hi guys,
I got my Xperia 1 last week but I have a couple of questions I cannot find the answer to.
1. Has anyone managed to get VoLTE working on Three in the UK? VoLTE Provisioned is disabled and greyed out in the phone testing menu (*#*#4636#*#*)
2. To troubleshoot the above I loaded on the customised UK firmware from XperiFirm which didn't help, but in doing so I've lost the ability to install Google Dialer from the Play Store. When I try to sideload the apk I get an error about a missing module. When I got the phone it came with Google Dialer and it was installable from the Play Store.
Thanks!
Wow really you had Googler dialer when you first had the device? I noticed the Xperia 5 had it but didn't realize the Xperia 1 had it also.

It did, but no matter which FW I flash I cannot get it back. It's weird.
I would also like to know which firmware customization the google phone app has pre-installed.
Has anyone figured it out yet?
Otherwise I have to flash all customized firmwares and look which has it xD

Can't answer the question about VoLTE, but which APK did you manually try to install?
I've got the customized NOBA firmware on my X1, and while it didn't have the Google Dialer preinstalled, I got the APK from APKMirror and now my phone even gets updates for the dialer app through the Play Store.

For some reason, I was unable to get the dialer from the store and I had to download the APK. The contacts app however, was available from the store.
I am from Austria and have the EU customization. I can not install the Google phone app from playstore, because my device is not compatible. I think, this is due to the missing of the google dialer framework.
But we actually have Android 9. Android 10 was not released yet in EU customization.
Is this a normal behaviour with Android 9?
Do you guys know, if they just made the phone able to install the google phone app with android 10?
Edit:
With latest Android 10 it is possible to install the Google phone app, therefore, solved for me
thanks

!!PLEASE READ ALL BEFORE CONTINUING. I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY!!
I've managed to get VoLTE working on the Xperia 1 by using a guide given to me and I'll share what I've done to you now, I've only tried this on Android 10 not Android 9 If your on A9 then try it at your own risk.
1. Root
2. File Manager with root support
3. Go to /oem/modem-config
4. Delete "anysim" folder
5. Rename "S9033.1" to "anysim"
6. Go here " https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80231731&postcount=395" and download "VoEnabler.zip" From the Google Drive link
7. Put "VoEnabler.zip" onto your device and install via Magisk and reboot.
8. You should now be able to use VoLTE and VoWiFi.
I asked why this wasn't enabled from the start and got mixed responses, though the most common was: Three UK doesn't sell the device so they told Sony not to enable it.

Installing youtube on an old Samsung phone

I have Acer A500 with Android 4.0.3
I'm trying to install apk Youtube 11.01.70
Youtube won't run without Google Pay services
Google Play services is not present
I try to install apk Google Play services 14.3.69. When I try to install it, it tells me there is a problem parsing the package
Any more ideas?
Because you're using an outdated version of Android.
So it's not possible at all? I thought for an old version of Android I just had to find the right old version of the apps (apk) and installed them.

Even if you did that, it'll ask you to update your apps.
And you can't manually just add all the apps you need? (like Google Play Services in my case)
I find it surprising that this old Android cannot go back to the state it was 10 years ago, if I can get the same software (apk)
In general, the problem parsing the package means that your system software is too old to install that apk file.
Can't you upgrade your Acer A500 system software via OTA at first?
On the other hand, does your mobile phone system really have no built-in Google service framework?

Thanks for the idea. I have never done something like that. Where can I find a OTA image for A500? If you have any instructions for installation it would be also appreciated
Thanks for all the answers. To clarify:
I had Google Services Framework 4.0.4-278776
I just installed Google Play Services 8.1.04 (2215451-036) (036) (successfully, as per indications in this post)
I had install Youtube 11.01.70
When I try to run Youtube tells me that there is a newer version and doesn't go further.
This tablet won't run anything past android 4.0.3, at least without some hacks. With hacks this will run with android 5.1, thus allowing the installation of YouTube.
