Huawei app gallery, anyone use it? - Huawei Mate 10 Questions & Answers

Been getting updates from the app gallery but no updates from Google play store.
Microsoft's translator app for example has an update in Huawei's store but nothing on Google's.
Seeing that Huawei removed the USA from the list of countries option, should I update it and risk it not working? Plus I can't read Chinese so I don't know if update is needed from the changelog it provides

i updated and i would still use app gallery for my systems apps update. Since we have the special version translator app, i would follow the updates in app gallery.

Huawei app gallery not allow my location . how can fix it

I'd disable the Email app, but there were frequent popups telling me is crashes. So I just leave it enabled instead. Also I am aware what the Wireless Emergency Alerts is supposed to be about. It's not illegal per se to disable it, is it?lol
Well guys, you're free to add on to this list if you got anything else. STOP THE BLOATWARE INVASION!
Awesome... Now others can add their suggestions and we can keep the OP updated as we go.
Wireless emergency app will let you disable the Amber alerts, so you can keep the severe weather alerts going.
We might find a dev that is familiar with Verizon bloat and they may be able to help figure out what apps are and do, and what is safe to remove.
How to do this? pm command through adb? Or any app can help?
It is kind of weird since you can't do it through the launcher. Go to settings > application manager. Then swipe over to all to view all installed and system apps. Select them individually and disable them.

Google Play App Publishing Question

Does Google have a documentation where they list all the automatic validations that are performed on an APK when you publish or update an app on Google Play? I am talking about things likes Invalid Signature, APK size over limit and etc. I am interested in the automated checks that are performed by Google; not manual checks/requirements like inappropriate content.

Youtube App Related Question

Hello,
Recently my access to YouTube has been suspended and I can't get it back. I would like to know if there is a possibility that the YouTube app on android saves a list of the subscribed channels to some file or something, so I can retrive it.
Sorry if this isn't the right place to post.
Thanks in advance!
For all I know, the official YouTube app doesn't store lists of subscriptions unless you have them saved to your Google account. The apps that I know that you can import your subscriptions are APKs

How to add Aurora Droid to the Android 11 "Open With" menu option list?

How can I add "Aurora Droid" as an option to the list that pops up in the Android "Open With" menu?
Like many here, I don't use the default Google Play client (normally I have com.android.vending disabled) and (for privacy reasons) I don't have any Samsung or Google account (or any other account) registered in the Android 11 settings of my Samsung Galaxy A32 5G phone.
Settings > Accounts and backup > Manage accounts === none
But it's OK to NOT have a Google Account registered to the phone because the Aurora Store app will spoof a sign-in to the Google Play repository, so I don't need (nor do I want) a Google account set up on the phone.
Even without a Google account set up on the phone, the Google Play app (aka com.android.vending) will will still scan for and manually UPDATE about a score of "google apps" that it knows about (mostly these are the small subset of stock apps which come with the phone initially from the carrier).
Since the Google Play app can only find a tiny subset of the apps on the Google Play repository to update, there's really no value in enabling the Google Play app in my situation.
That's because even if I temporarily enable the Google Play app (aka the "Play Store" app. aka "com.android.vending") will only update a very short list of stock apps (about a score or less which it calls "Google Apps", but that's incorrect nomenclature as com.android.vending will also update pre-installed stock Samsung and T-Mobile apps).
It would be great if I could use the Aurora Store to scan for all the hundreds of apps that have updates on the Google Play repository, so that I can (if I want to) update any set of them at a simple tap of an update button after that list of hundreds of apps that have updates on the Google Play repository is enumerated.
However, as far as I can tell, the Aurora Store doesn't have a setting to manually check for app updates, en masse, on the Google Play repository without actually updating the apps (that is, the Aurora Store has a setting for AUTOMATIC updating, which isn't what I want, and of course, you can type in the name of any given app and the Aurora Store will allow you to update it - but that's also not what I want).
A workaround is to add any decent free ad free gsf free "app updater", where I can then manually update ALL my apps (whose lists are in the hundreds and not just the extremely few that the Google Play app updates).

While these update checkers scan the Google Play repository to find HUNDREDS of apps that need updating, not just the score of apps that the com.android.vending app finds), and while these update checkers have a button to update each of the hundreds of apps whose newer version was found on the Google Play repository, ALL of them "open with" a list of apps that does NOT include the Aurora Store (see screenshots below).
How can I add "Aurora Droid" as an option to the list that pops up in the Android "Open With" menu?
To update the record, I still do not know what "magic" adds an app to the "Open with" list, but it happened again in this thread today:
How hard can it be to find a simple text editor that edits any text file stored anywhere you want it to be stored on your internal or external sdcard?
In that case, when you tapped on a text file in some file managers, the "Open with" contained the FOSS "Simple Text Editor" tool by Maxim Starkov (aka MaxiStar); but in other cases, that text editor wasn't part of the list of "Open with" options....
Sigh... I wish someone knew what the "magic" is that puts an application (such as a text file editor) into the "Open with" listing when you tap on a text file to edit it.
Otherwise, it's almost completely arbitrary - and that's sad if Android is really that random that the "Open with" list is essentially left to chance.

Question Google Play System Updates – Activity Name

I want to create a direct shortcut to check for Google Play system updates – does anybody know the Android activity I have to look for?
Google Play services provides an Activity .update.SystemUpdateActivity, but that one is for the regular system updates.
