sorted byNo 1 option is gspace from the Huawei app gallery. Looks like it is a virtual machine pretending to be a Honor device that was before the app store ban.

Other options in this video:
Not yet found a good way to install Google Mobile Services. Don't want to go the virtual machine route if possible.
My needs were:
YouTube - revanced with microg apks from website ✅
Press reader - app from Aptoide ✅
Chrome - app from appgallery (no sync) ☑️
HotUKDeals - app from Aptoide or appgallery ✅
Backcountry navigator - cloned from phone using Huawei phone to tablet clone tool ☑️
Tidal - from one of alternative app stores ✅
Kindle - from one of alternative app stores ✅
ViMusic - from GitHub ✅
Gboard - from one of alternative app stores ✅
Google earth - cloned ✅
Hive - cloned ✅
Amazon shopping app - from one of the alternative app stores ✅
Google photos, Google play books, Google maps - apps won't work - but used Hermit (I bought it previously from appstore and used clone tool to get on tablet) and created webapps of all ☑️☑️☑️
eBay - you can get APK ok but it won't authenticate. So use Webapp using Hermit ☑️
UPDATE: I tried another virtual machine app called Gbox and that has no ads and works well for apps where webapps don't quite cut it (eBay and Google maps being a couple that are not great as webapps). (edited)
After much clicking and agreeing to all kinds of T&Cs. I got down to updates and uninstalling much of the bloat. 12GB later (3 big updates and 1 minor one) I finally got to Harmony OS 2 and Dec 2022 security patch.
HOS is quite neat. Used a combo of YouTube revanced and microg. Aptoide, Huawei appgallery and Huawei app clone tool (installed on phone and tablet) + Google chrome webapp feature and an app called Hermit that I have used before to get kiosk style webapps.
All in all excellent :-)
Looks like Harmony OS 3 (based on android 12) will come to Matepad 10.4 in 2023 as well. So I should get some good life out of it :-) (edited)

Thanx.
The nav dock in Harmony OS (Mac OSX rip off). It can have a split:
I'm sure mine did until I changed apps in dock. How do you get it back if you want one!?
UPDATE: you have to set the "Show recent apps" in home screen settings 😃 (edited)

Probably best to check out reviews online and YouTube for a tested opinion.
