I was used to a more stock version of Android - EMUI 8 on honor 8x is crap and full of bloatware.
Anybody on the forum know of someone in JHB(South Africa) area who can assist in removing my software and perhaps installing something different?
Pleeeaaase help!
But emui 8.2 is good and smooth ?
you can uninstall most of the blotware in settings ->apps
I've uninstalled most of the bloatware and deactivate some of them. 8x is running with no problems for now..

Hello,
I would like to find out if its possible to modify the firmware of a smart phone in one of two ways: 1) changing a phone's identify essentially fooling it into thinking is a superior model, for example, making a Huawei P20 Lite think its the pro version OR 2) forcibly upgrading the current android software to a newer version, in my case, from Android 9.0 / EMUI 9.1 to Android 10 / EMUI 10. I've tried to do research and find sources to assist me but I haven't found anything.
My reasoning for option one is that I would be able to download the official EMUI upgrade a lot sooner and I imagine it would be the safer option. However, if that fails, I guess option two would omit the in-between hassles and upgrade it directly to the newer EMUI / Android version.
I am extremely eager to get the universal dark mode on my phone and unfortunately, these third party dark themes just aren't working for me.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated

Hey,
Altough I bet there are hunderds of threads like this, I decided to create another one
So because I have my mate 10 lite around 2 years (a bit less), I would like to get an upgrade. Sadly I won't get Android Pie officially, so I'd like to install a custom ROM.
To do that I need an unlocked bootloader which dc-unlocker is only able to do below Android 8.0.
So I would have to downgrade my Android 8.0 (Btw, EMUI is also 8.0) to Nougat 7.0.
The method through HiSuite didn't worked since it just says "Newest Developer Version installed", but nothing with "Switch to other versions".
Also through Firmeware Finder (Playstore App) it doesn't show me the option "In-App Proxy", so I guess it doesn't work either with that.
Is there another way to do, if so I would really appreciate any help
Thanks in advance
My Mate 8 also keeps on Android 8.0, without any update to Android Pie officially.
If the official utility, HiSuite, which is developed by Huawei doesn't work, we maybe have no way to downgrade the system software on Mate 10 or Mate 8.

It all depends on your current build version. If I remember correctly the ability to use DC was patched in most custs in May or June. So if your security date is prior to May you can still use DC. If not you're out of luck. You can use testpoint to flash board software and then get unlock code through there, but it requires you to remove the back of your phone which will break IP rating and void warranty (If it's still under warranty)
Hi everybody, I need the community help.
I have an honor 8x jsn al00a, I was on emui 8 with gms installed.
To update to emui10, I uninstalled all Google apps and it worked.
Now I try to get gms back, without success. I tried Google installer, direct installation... With no results.
If someone succeeded in this operation, please help me to do it!

we are waiting! we need to find out a way to use google services on EMUI 10
Meddy9283, how did you delete all the Google apps, and which app in particular.

Solved. Here is what i did:
First of all, i was expecting that someone with help...
Anyway, after deleting Google apps (playstore, play services...) And updating my phone to emui 10.
I have used hisuite to downgrade to 9.1.0.178 then upgraded to 9.1.0.213... then followed the tutorial shared by borden and it worked perfectly.
PS: backup your system before downgrading or you'll lose all your data.
Will every phone lose google services when system updates to 10? Or only some models of 8x?

Hi
I have the same device and tried everything with no luck, the device comes with a locked bootloader, unless someone can unlock it I guess there's no way to install a custom ROM.
There's the Googlefier app built by @Bender007 but didn't work for me on EMUI 10.1.1.132.
I had a thought to flash Magisk into the firmware and load it on USB but I have no idea what file to inject Magisk in, maybe that could work, anyone have an idea how to do it?
regards.
Look this tutorial: https://androidphoria.com/tutoriales/instalar-google-play-huawei-p40-lite
Also can see on:
There is another one, that seems OK:
Hey,
so here's what I found so far:
if phone was released before 2020 April (untill March) --> Googlefier method will work, else, it won't.
P40 LITE 5G was released in 2020 April shipping with 10.1.1 ROM, there is no 10.0 version - the end.
P40 LITE 5G ships with Kirin 820,whereas,
all other P40 variants ship with Kirin 810.
Kirin 810 has 10.0 ROM, whereas, Kirin 820 doesn't ( so P40 Lite has 10.0 ROM, P40 Lite 5G hasn't)
The only phone that has 10.0. stock ROM with Kirin 820 is Honor 30S
So there is ONE stock 10.0 ROM that runs on Kirin 820 (f yeaaaah)
(Also don't confuse it with Kirin 820E)
OK, so what?
Here are some questions to discuss:
Is it possible to flash Honor 30S stock ROM on P40 Lite 5G to boot into a 10.0 ROM to use Googlefier and to continue upgrading using OTA?
Android will think it's a Honor device ( I guess )...
Using ADB it might be possible to disable all Honor specific stuff for "user 0" (this wouldn't break OTA update)
With a basic ApkExtractor it might be possible to simply install EMUI stuff (most of it) like HMS core and such, so theoretically (if all dependencies can be met - smtg I don't know) you can login with Huawei ID and such .- if uou care at all
Aaand another (possibly stupid) question:
Would it be possible to Copy-Paste a sort of a "custom P40 Lite 5G" ROM using the Honor 30S kernel only, deleting all Honor system apps, injecting EMUI system apps and packaging a flashable ROM? I ask this from complete ignorance, I don't know if it's possible or not. Like, does EMUI have some sort of a certificate or signature that it can be packaged (or compiled) only by Huawei? No idea, but there's my 2 cents.

Hello friends!
I got my hands on mentioned P40 lite, used it for some time already, installed gms , everything is working fine except notifications for some apps.
For me the critical issue is with diabetes follower app - Dexcom follow. It is working, receiving data, but do not pass notifications. What could be the issue and suggestions to be fixed?
Tried it with latest firmware - same
With or without GMS - same
I downgraded to EMUI 10.0.1.136
Android 10
Dexcom follow 1.1.5.3 - very old one , but only one that work somehow on officially unsupported device.
Tried 4.0 / 4.0.1 / 4.0.2 / 4.0.3 / 4.0.4 / 4.2 / 4.1... all have errors like unable to reach servers or invite expired and can't add host.
I use same app on huawei p20 lite , samsung s6 , oneplus 6t , huawei mate 20 lite, all works fine with notifications and all.
