How to install the google services and how to enable contact sync in P9 plus or MATE 8 Chinese version
1. Perform a hard reset to your phone.
2. download from http://www.apkmirror.com/ the following 4 apps (I also attached the required apps).:
google.android.contacts
google.android.sync
google play services
Google play store
for android 6
3. Install the google.android.contacts and the google.android.sync but don’t open them.
4. In setting/apps select the CONTACT app then select PERMISSION and turn on all the permission then select “Set individual permission” and select “trust this app”.
5. In setting/apps select the GOOGLE CONTACT SYNCH app then select PERMISSION and turn on all the CONTACTS then select “Set individual permission” and select “trust this app”
6. Install the “Google play services” and the “Google play store” apps.
7. In setting/apps select the “Google play services” app then select PERMISSION and turn on all the permission.
8. In setting/apps select the “Google play store” app then select PERMISSION and turn on all the permission especially CONTACTS then select “Set individual permission” and select “trust this app”
9. Open the google play app and sign in with your google account.
10. That’s all – restart and you will have google play and your contacts will be synced to google.
11. Good luck !!

Is there a way to do this? Google's contact app doesn't appear in the list for the default calling app. And what do I do in adb to uninstall the default contacts app?
I'm on an unrooted S9+, and have been using adb to remove a bunch of bloatware.
Are you talking about this app?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.contacts&hl=en_US
If so then it most likely will not show up as an option for the default calling app.. That's because it's not an actual calling app like Samsung contacts (which seems to bundle the dialer app in it). The Google Contacts app (linked above) is strictly a contact manager/sync app

Oh ok. So if I use adb to uninstall the default contacts app, will Google contacts and the phone app still work?

Considering it's not a bloatware item and it's integration with the existing dialer app I would just leave the contacts app alone. There is no harm in leaving it installed.
I would just install and use the Google Contact's app. If prompted by Google Contacts app to select a dialer app you can choose from what is displayed as options for use.
Install Google Play Store
Update MIUI to latest version
Open the browser (blue planet icon), go to apkmirror.com and install the latest versions of:
Allow installation of unknown sources when asked.
Google Services Framework [9-4832352] (noarch)
Google Account Manager (noarch)
Google Play Services (arm64)
Google Contacts Sync (noarch)
Google Calendar Sync (noarch)
Google Play Store (universal)
Enable Google Contacts / Calendar synchronization
Go to Settings → Manage apps → Google Contacts / Calendar Sync
Enable Autostart and give all possible permissions such as write and read permissions over your contacts / calendar events
Restart your phone
It may take some time to apply.
Configure Google Pay
Download Google Pay
Go to Settings → More and set Default wallet to Use HCE Wallet
Go to Settings → More → Tap & pay and set Payment default to Google Pay
Hope this helps

You should go on apkmirror.com
China version has built-in Google service in settings.
Just need to activate it.

I tried the Google Installer of the Mi App Store but it did not work.
I encountered this error for most apps: Can't downgrade apps.
That is why I have listed the apps above so you know what to install and you are sure to get the latest versions for each.

I see. I have found a few Google Installer apps that might help but they are all in Chinese.... So your method might be the best

you update to 10.3.8, then go to app store, download google play store directly, and enjoy.
I also try the google installer and got error, but then find out that app store can install google play. Google service is on be default.
I can't sync contact,
Can't see contact sync option in Setting-->sync-->Google..
I installed all app from Google installer 3.0 & Google Contacts Sync (noarch) from apk mirror.

I had the same problem. Try to reinstall it, enable autostart and disable any energy restrictions in App Infos. Restart your phone eventually.

Weird because as far as I remember, when typing Google in the App Store, the only result was Google Installer.

Unfortunately I could not see those apps in Mi Store before installing the Google Framework, Services, Sync and Play Store.
But now I can see a lot more apps (Google Translate, AirBnb, ...)
It is weird I have 2 possible results to display.
anyone has else issue setting up card for instore payment with google pay?
miui 10.3.11
Can't complete set up for contactless payment
To resolve this, you'll need to contact your bank. You can still pay with this card on Google and across other apps and sites, just like before.
i have no issue with setting up these cards on another phone though...

I had the problem too and I tried all your steps but none worked. I found a guide on google which actually works. It's here http://en.miui.com/thread-4843639-1-1.html
Basically it says to turn off the MIUI Optimization and get an app from the Play Store called "App Permission Info" to bring back the AOSP style permission UI and set the permission for Contact and ContactSync app from there since MIUI permission doesn't work well on this particular case.
Edit: I just found a way to access AOSP style permission without additional app on MIUI 10. Just search "optimization" in the settings and click on "Battery Optimization". You have to open it from the search list otherwise it won't open the AOSP style app info.
in my quest to install google play i did something wrong.
In notification i get a warning: "Update Google Play services - Google play services wont run unless you update..." but when i press on the notification, google play opens, with Play services and the only option is "Deactivate".
Can anyone point out a solution?
if we already get the google play store, does it mean we don't need to finish downloading the remain apps from google installer? i stuck at google play service. Pls to reply. thanks

Do you have google services (gapps) installed? You can also install dialer, contacts, messenger and a lot of other apps that are independent from google, by "Simple Mobile Tools".
