Smart Controller - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

Hey all - I got my P20 Pro a few days ago and removed some of the Huawei apps. One of them was the Smart Controller. I can't seem to find it on the app store and a bit of searching has shown it's a Huawei app.
Does any one have the APK for it that they could share please? I've found the APK for other models but they don't seem to work on the P20 series.
Thanks in advance.

Help rooting Huawei p10 "selfie" model

I tried searching for this on the forum and using Google but nothing came up.
I have a Huawei p10 selfie, aparently the model is Bac-L03
It uses emui 5.1 and Android version 7.0.
Any help you can give me? I think i can use magisk but i need a clean boot image first and cant find one.. Any tutorials, clues or help you can give me with this? Thanks a lot!
Isn't BAC the model name for Nova 2? Than you're wrong here in the P10 (VTR and VKY for P10 Plus) forum.
Didnt knew that but my phone is branded as a p10 selfie it says so even on the about phone section on settings.. Do you think its a good idea to ask there just in case?

Did you buy the phone in Mexico?
A quick search gives me, that the Nova 2 is called P10 Selfie in Mexico.
When you compare the phone pictures and specs you can see that they're the same phones.
This is a misrepresentation, that Huawei does not know what to do with himself.
this phone is a huawei nova 2 plus!

Thanks a lot people i guess thats why i couldnt not find any info at all about it, i guess they rebranded the phone for latín america, thanks a whole bunch!

ARCORE not support by P20 Pro?!

I just bought a P20 Pro and try to install ARCORE apps. However I am surprised ARCORE is not compatible with P20 Pro!!! I just checked the official ARCORE web site... only P20 (not Pro) is on the list
You are totally correct, why were you inder the impression that the P20 Pro is compatible?

Arcore is totally compatible with HWCLT so also P20 Pro will be.
At least reading from official websites.

Huawei said “The HUAWEI P20 Pro is an ARCore supported device” on their official website...:laugh:
Does anyone have any update on this? I tried tweeting Hauwei and Google but no response from either. I think it's crazy that they did a comprehensive demo of ARcore working on the P20 Pro at their launch event and not a word about it since. They even had CEO of Google France at the press conference talking about it!

Source?
It seems a couple of P20 variants are listed as being officially supported (EML-L29, EML-L09 https://developers.google.com/ar/discover/#supported_devices) but no mention of the Pro. That said the Galaxy S9 is not officially supported yet either so it is probably just a case of the team updating official support in the next few weeks.
In the meantime I think there are methods of patching the apk to work on other devices (see https://github.com/thestr4ng3r/arcore-patch) I may look further into it if I get chance later.

I couldn’t post any image or url here cos I am new XDA user. It is on HUAWEI official site. Click P20 Pro, then scroll down and click “more”. You will find it.

I also think so. But it is quite strange that HUAWEI show “ARCore” as a main feature on their official site as a main feature... but it is not yet support. But seems no one is caring about this except me

Nope, can't find anything. I'm getting the Norwegian site as default though. Although I saw the stuttering demo from the french P20 Pro launch. So basically, they have confirmed it.
Let's hope they're ironing out some bugs before release.
Not too impressed with framrates though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsdeeLp9A7s
My gf's S7 is also supposed to be supported ( https://developers.google.com/ar/discover/ ) But Google Play says her phone isn't supported.
Basically, a normal Google product launch
I saw its available on apkpure but is the ARCORE just a framework and needs a compatible app to actually do anything? There is no icon for example
ARCore 1.2 Support P20 Pro
Here is an example of working ARCore on P20 Pro:

I got it installed today. ?
Hi all,
I just bought a Huawei P20 pro (CLT-L09) and made all firmware updates (no root).
I cannot install arcore from google play store (Device not compatible).
I tried to install apk files from apk mirror (I tried different versions from 1.3 to 1.5) but when I try to launch an app using arcore, I always have a black screen). When I try to launch "Measure" from google, i have a message telling me that my device is not compatible...
Do some of you have the same issue ?
Do someone have any solution ?
ARCore runs fine on my P20 Pro because it is supported.
/ Magnus
Have it installed in on mine from the play store works fine

I use that one with that setting un advanced settings - Base : pixel2018 HW zsl hdr(need YUV) https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-urnyx05/
Latest one by arnova works fairly well, you need to adjust some settings as mentioned above.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-arnova8G2/
Night sight does not work, recording video does not work and HDR does not work at all, so very little reason to use the app over the stock camera app.

Do you have a working huawei port for kirin970, and/or Android Q?

Googlify

Has anyone tested it and does it work?
I have tested and it does not work. Security hole that LZPlay uses was patched in EMUI 11.

Thank you, it is the same story like with all current chinese How-tos, LZplay does not work after restored from backup.
I've found an App which gives you GMS on the Mate 40 Pro, although its more of a Virtual Machine you run on your Mate 40 Pro so it's not as Snappy like the Phone itself but it works. So if you need to do some Banking or use one of thoose E-Scooter Apps it'll do the Job just right.
Basically you just need to Install the VMOS Pro apk, and boot the Android 7.1 System Enable the Google Services in the Settings, restarting the App and you're good to go.
https://www.vmos.com/
Notice: Gpay also doesn't work with this Method
Sorry, but VMOS is not really an option. It's like having 2 separate mobile phones...
Yes I have tested and it work, putting up a video on YouTube soon
On my mate 40 Porsche RS

Have you got Chinese version ,isn't it?
Yeah, international versions definitely do not work. I was hoping that after FW update on the Mate 40 pro something would change but there is no change. I am actually fine with MicroG now but still missing just a couple of GMS features.

It does not really improve anything. It could maybe help to recover licenses of Google linked premium apps (not purchased via Google Play Store!).

Can someone with chinese Mate 40 Pro version please test this GMS installation

This video claims GMS installation on Mate 40 Pro and uses similar method as Googlefier (local backup restore, LZPlay, patched MicroG). It did not work for me. Not sure if this is just click bait or if there is a difference between international and chinese version of Mate 40 Pro.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReOU...annel=JohnWang
I have an international Mate 40 Pro (Germany).
I am getting an error message when I start LZPlay and it's not asking for permissions.
doesn't work
Afaik there is no Possible way for now to Install GMS on EMUI 11 Devices. I also have a International Mate 40 Pro and i love it besides that i can't use 3 of my Apps which i need from time to time. I hope someone finds a way pretty soon

It doesn't work with the Global version of Mate 40 Pro, only with the Chinese one...
Does anyone with some Android technical background understand why? I have a feeling 99% of the community is just waiting for something to happen without even trying things out and even wanting to understand what's happening under the hood...
I would be happy to debug things but just need a hint where to look/start.
Is there any info what LZplay exactly did? Did Huawei leave stubs for GMS in the system partition and LZplay leveraged escalated device administrator rights to do things?
i have a Chinese version. i installed GMS on my phone and it works well so far. dont know if it will be banned in the future.
https://medium.com/@topjohnwu/huawe...oor-to-reinstall-google-services-c3a5dd71a7cd
Good article at least for my own education. So no stubs but undocumented API. I guess Huawei removed those in international firmware of Mate 40 just to comply more with Google legal ban. But in China they feel more comfortable and left those in. What a mess based on geopolitics...
MDM SDK is available, the question is if Huawei will even approve the apk signing with speficic calls...

Based on the Weather Widget Location he has a Chinese Version in which you can Install GMS. Doesn't matter to me i (we?) need a way for the International Version...
Dear friends! Would anyone describe in English what to do and how to get to the international version?
Hi to everyone.
I have a Mate 30 Pro 5G LIO-AN00, it's a Chinese device with EMUI 11 updated. I have got it since december, 2019 with Google services working nice ... but 2 days ago I make a mistake so I lost my Google Services.
I followed twice videos of John Wang and at the previous video of him I followed you all the steps RIGHT and at the end of the video I received a lot of Google notifications that my device is not certified.
Then I followed to him at second video in order to delete Google notifications step by step but at the end Google notifications continues ... .... What can I do ???
Before this I reset my Mate 30 Pro and I started from 0. I only use WiFi network, not SIM card .... but it's impossible to delete Google notifications ... :crying: :crying: :crying:
Any advice, please ??
Thank you so much in advance !!!!

Wow, that is awesome !! GMS on a chinese mate 40 RS. Thanks for sharing. I do have a few questions.
1. Where are you using the device? Are you in the USA geographically?
2. Are there any problems with sending and receiving group texts? i.e. Do you ever get a problem where you message on a group text, but the message arrives to the group members individually instead of in the group? I had this problem when i was using a chinese find x2 pro in the US on Tmobile, otherwise it worked perfectly
3. does google assistant "hey google" and google news feed work?
Thanks a bunch!
