Just show some respect for ilham to even work on this device.
I understand that's its anoying that sometimes his files don't work the way it should be, but it's a side effect of a workaround that has been made. It's the same for installing Google Play itself, it most of the time doesn't work the way it should be, and sometimes you need to redo it 5+ times.
That's why @badmania98 said that the files are only a part of the solution. You also need the support, because it involves a lot of trying in some cases.
For me it's working flawlessly now, with perfect location services and on time notifications. It took some time and a lot of trying to get there. Thanks badmania98 for the great support btw.
I've been through problems with it too and I was one of the two people with a problem, but you knew when buying this device that things related to Google wouldn't be perfect. You should remain calm finding a solution, and be patient. Because when it works, you have an amazing device.
I only paid 380 euro for the p40 pro, its an amazing deal for such a camera setup.
Thanks again to @badmania98 and Ilham.

yes, the camera worth something. you are right. I can easily get an entry/mid level dslr for 380 eur though. nvm, I'll just insert here the photo of the smashed phone in case the gps will be wandering "slippery ice stlye left and right" tomorrow morning and can't check in at my workplace. that's the only thing now what will bring me some satisfaction haha.
I've given up on notifications. that'll never work. put your hand on your heart and say that you have a p20-p30-p40 with more or less instant arriving notifications. sure you dont!

btw gps been s*te on ALL huawei phones ever. we all knew that. I got P20, Mate 20, P20 Pro, Honor 10 here in front of me.. just saying..
camera, battery life, screen == that's worth something in the p40 pro, everything else is below average, entry level phone category..

nvm. I wont litter the topic here more I promise. you can call a mod to clean pls if you want.

I'm encountering issues with Gstore (won't work whether I freeze/defrost Google Services Netowrk) - was working great up to a couple days ago.

Question: Steps 1b and 3. Can't find "Google Services Framework"
I've defrosted and it still doesn't show up
Any ideas ?
Thnx

Verify Google Play Services and Google Store that are installed on your phone. If they auto-updated themself to the last version, your Google install is broken. It is not easy to fix it, but can be done. Or you have to reinstall Google with googlefier or with other tutorial.
Google does everything to block installing it on our phones. Huawei, too.

Under Settings-> Apps ->Apps I can see both Google Play Services & Google Play Store.
Under Settings-> Apps -> App launch (three dots -> show system processes) though they are not.

I was under the impression that after the googlefier installation, all the above could be updated without issues. And I haven't noticed a step or anything upon how to prevent them from auto updating.
For what is worth I am not even sure how to do that (or if that can be done in the first place)

Yes one option is to start from scratch, downgrade, googlefier , icebox etc.
Besides the frustration and time involved, can you think of a way to prevent it from happening again ?

I was hoping to find an older google store apk , install it and hope for the best.
If you can think of a better idea, you'd be more than welcome !!!

Or I just kiss goodbye gstore and never see it again. With framework frozen everything else is working (at least for now)

On page 1 of this thread the commands are to be run in command prompt like that ?
adb shell cmd appops set com.google.android.gsf RUN_IN_BACKGROUND ignore
adb shell cmd appops set com.google.android.gsf RUN_ANY_IN_BACKGROUND ignore
adb shell cmd appops write-settings

And yes I know they're trying to prevent us from using gservices but Huawei hasn't done a good job so far with providing a decent alternative. Most the apps are not available at the Huawei Store, notifications are not working and the list goes on and on...
When I upgrarded my phone (from P20 Pro to P40 Pro) I wasn't planning on installing them. I am not much of a google fan either. But the thing is without them the phone is not really usable

Anyways - thanks in advance !

A quick update on what I did to solve it temporarily

While in Airplane mode -> unfreeze framework.
Force stopped google store & framework /cleared data, cache etc
Restarted (back to normal mode )
The usual pop ups start (This device isn't Play protect certified etc) , opened gstore -> clicked update

I use the Ilham method to have push notification.
In your situation, the last installed googlefier GMS file should be an old one. Few days/weeks ago, Google changed the interface and functionality of Google Store. If google apps work OK before that, in Store Settings\General\Auto-update apps is on Don't auto-update apps, you don't manually update GMS , and don't manually install GMS updates, everything should be OK . If you make some changes in GMS/GFS files it will be broken. It will auto-update GMS and from there will be other problems. Now, you can manually try to come back to the old GMS files and Store to fix that. After that Store will auto-update itself, and I haven't find a solution to prevent that till now.

As I said, using GFS from Ilham I have push notification and store working. And there are no Play protect certified messages. It easy for me to do that than explain, because , in my opinion, the behavior of the phone will be different from phone to phone.

Thanks again.
For what is worth -and to the best of my knowledge- I do not believe that framework & store are treated (from the store itself) as standard apps.
In other words I checked gstore's update history and they are not there, whereas I saw the store updating right in front of my eyes.

I found a temporary workaround (see two posts up).
I am curious to find out why those apps are not shown under my App Launch

And I'll look up the method you're using ....

I can tell that Ilham solution works fine for me. Location, push, even NFC payment with bank app is possible. Go ahead and hit badmania98 for support

    Below is a third version of the guide (ok, it's 3.5). As of January, 15th I've added great finding by @Seresseran1. Thanks man!

    The below guide will provide you with fully working Google services, play store will work, push notifications will work, location accuracy etc. Everything will work until you restart the phone without enabling flight mode first. Then you might start receiving play protect notifications and you have to redo the procedure.

    Prerequisite : GMS has to be installed and fully working without play protect notifications. Any method of installation should be OK, i prefer manual but Googlifier is fine.

    1a. Run following commands using ADB:

    adb shell
    cmd appops set com.google.android.gsf RUN_IN_BACKGROUND ignore
    cmd appops set com.google.android.gsf RUN_ANY_IN_BACKGROUND ignore
    cmd appops write-settings

    1b. Open Settings - Apps - App Launch
    Tap the three dots, select "Show system Processes".
    Search For Google Services Framework.
    Change from Manage Automatically- To Manage Manually. Deselect Options "Auto-launch" and "Run in background". Only secondary launch remains selected.
    2. Put phone in airplane mode. It's very important!
    3. Open Settings, go to Apps, Apps, tap three dots, select Show system processes, find Google Services Framework. Open it.
    4. If you have frozen Gsf defrost it (enable).
    5. Stop it if it's running. Go to Storage, clear cache, clear data. Stop it again if necessary.
    6. Restart the phone.
    7. Do not disable airplane mode yet! Wait few minutes in airplane mode or check with Device ID app if you see your GSF ID.
    8. Disable airplane mode and check play store. If you see error message, close it from task list and try again.

    If you restart the phone without enabling airplane mode first all you have to do is redo above guide starting from point 2.

    If you see play protect notifications do not panic! Enable airplane mode, go to settings, apps, apps, find Google framework services, goto storage, stop it, clear cache, clear data, restart your phone then you should be good.

    I do not use Google apps except maps, but they should work. Remember that using above guide does not mean your device will get play protect certification. So, Google pay will not work for sure.

    Here is what i think::

    1. install gms in one of the backways ( googlefier +++ )
    2. safetynet will not pass anyway because of uncertification
    3.up and running with google services until the error comes up.

    4. Like somone in here earlier mentioned, and i agree, the error comes up when communicating with google servers. I had excactly 8 hours on the second! between errors. Some of you 12 and 24 and on and on. (maybe variety because of where on earth we live or how google "check", i do not know)

    5. The gsf size DOES matter because that is the ONLY common reference all of us in here have to the error popping up. On any "normal" phone with GMS the size of this does not matter because the device is "whilelisted" with google.
    Communication with google will trigger this to come back at some point.

    6. We freeze GSF (google service framwork) with icebox or multitool to stop this communication/check with google and keep the GSF file on "HOLD". (size will not go up and down and no errors occur)

    7. Altso there is linked in this forum to google which is suppose to close down one after one app on uncertified devices. What will happen then? I use google home as normal with frozen GSF. It works 110%. So i stick with frozen gsf for now.
    All is normal , but need to use Aurorastore instead of Play Store. (unfreeze, refreeze for paid app or restore purchase after i format the phone.

    8. GAM (google account manager) i do not belive have anything to do with this at all. ( I might be wrong, but i belive this DOES NOT trigger errors.

    9. About our p40 (pro or plus) showing up as "Nexus, P30 lite, Mate 30, Mate 40 etc is ONLY because the author of the backup file made this backup file on these different units when the "GMS METHOD" you use was born. I do not belive this is relevant for the GSF at all.

    10. After testing alot of different disable this and that and errors and uncertified plus plus plus i now have stop at emui 11 (latest) with frozen GSF all working except google pay. I'd rather have notifications 100% working than 70% working.

    11. I really hope for a future solution for this unit. The P40 is remarkable and I fell in love with emui. I really love the enthuiasm from you guys not giving up this probelm . Keep it going guys!

    12. The end. :) (feel free to disagree with me, this is only my appinion on this)

    Yes, the best way to have everything working is to repeat the whole process until you get it. And yes, changing GSF ID forces to reinstall/clean current apps.

    This is what works for me (may be different for others):
    0) Disable all location methods (GPS, GLS,...)
    1) Uninstall gsf-fix (in my case it may freeze phone, repeat until you can uninstall). If it's the first time doing the method uninstall any GSF you have already (you start from manual or googlefier method to get Gapps)
    2) Install Gsf10 + Activate GLS in options menu. Settings/Location/Google Location Accuracy
    3) Uninstall current GMS (in my case it may freeze phone, repeat until you can uninstall)
    4) Install GMS2.3 , 2.4 OR an updated GMS apk specific for your phone but for Android 6+ max (apkmirror)
    5) Get GSF ID: install several apps from Play Store. Play protect errors are good here. Device ID apps that show GSF ID need to be reinstalled too. This can take a while or not depending on the model, be patient.
    6) Uninstall GSF10 (stop and clean to uninstall - it may freeze phone)
    7) Install Gsf-fix + Activate GLS in options menu (screen may close when activating, but it may remain enabled)
    8) Reset.
    9) Check Play store, push and GLS enabled. If not go to step 1), it sucks, I know...
    10) install maps, auto. Reinstall or CLEAN data of any app that uses push (normally a clean is enough and you only need to login in the app again)
    11) For Android auto , update GMS manually with apk for your model/Android (Android 6+ max version of GMS). If you didn't get it already in step 4
    Extra) Don't update GMS from Play store ANYMORE. Always try an updated apk from Apkmirror or similar.

    EDIT: For some, GLS works by disabling ALL Location methods before installing a fresh Google Maps and accept when it asks for them. You can disable before doing any step and try this on step 10.

    Ok, let try this (i am not good with video)
    I needed to get errors and apps not working to do screenrecording.
    Thats why i took so long, sorry.

    See this video:

    P40 Pro - Google Drive

    drive.google.com drive.google.com

    You can see that the xplora app in the video is black. (screen recording will not record this app due to sensitive information, its my kids GPS watch ) but its not working in the start and fully working in the end.

    My play protect error does not show because i removed them, but they are there.
    You can se the google home is not working first.
    When i am finish with the video you can see evrything works, at least for me.
    But i do not like this unfreeze. i think it is unstable.

    The steps are as in the video:

    1. force stop GSF, clear gsf data, cache (see video)
    2. force stop google services, CLEAR BUFFER only (see video)
    3. Its done. (as shown in video)

    Now you see my play store is working, notifications are working until i get error later during the day. (GSF kb exceeded?) Hope this help those of you wanting to have it unfrozen, but not for me.

    You see no need for restart or plane mode. This works for me, but might not work for you.

    I will look into this post for updates from you guys. i really want an unfrozen solution. any feedback on the ictfix solution 3?

    Let me know if video is not working please

    EDIT : DO NOT USE THIS METHOD! TO MANY REPORTS OF FAILS!
