Hi All,
My Honor 7 model number is PLK-AL10. And it is from China. There's a lot of annoying chinese program that I can't use.
I'd like to change the regio settings... and/or to an European ROM. (if it's possible)
Could anybody help me?
Thanks

Well you can remove apps and change region after rooting your phone. But otherwise, nearly all of them can be uninstalled. Any others you don't want you could move to the hide app section.
Its the Hivoice app which has no english voice support which cannot be deleted.
The Huawei app center is useful to keep Huawei apps updated, so i don't delete that.
Then the music and video app shows online Chinese content, but it might not be a problem since in international version they have no online content at all.
Hicare app is useful to send feedbacks and requests.
The theme app if you turn off phone remove sim card, and restart phone, the theme app will shows more themes that are available in China.
I have access to Huawei cloud so i use that as well, and pretty useful as the gallery and files manager is connected to the cloud.
Hi,
I have PLK-TH01H, is it also from China?
I noticed these versions:
ATH-AL00
PLK-TL00
PLK-CL00
PLK-AL10
PLK-TH01H
PLK-UL00
I would also like to remove chinese software but it sounds not so easy. We probably need to wait for a custom rom.

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.
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.
Successfully using google service as above for Honor V20 China version.

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"

I used HiCare and used "requested update" from HiCare, not from adjust-->update. After that the update appear in adjust-->update. When you download the update says you only can use the update in the next 60 days.

Yours is a Canadian version, Huawei ID is not supported. You have to use a non Canadian SIM, change your phone to the corresponding region and then setup your Huawei Account. After that, you may switch your Canadian SIM back.
Getting a Huawei Account allows you to have 5GB Huawei Cloud storage space for phone backup. That is the only benefit I noticed. If that is not important to you or you are using Google backup already. Don't bother getting the ID.
