Google play services on Sailfish 4.1

General
#51

Anyone had any problems with 4.3.0.15 ? I mean with script…

#52

Works

@all didn’t want to start a new topic so: updated to 4.4 and still works. Had to rerun the script after every update up until now, though. Also after a while of inactivity (not using the Play Store, or the apps, can’t tell the amount of time though, in my case a few months) Android apps and Play Store stop working and have to be reinstalled again

hey, I managed to install opengapps 10 on xperia 10 III however there is an annoyance where I cannot put the android apps to background, I have to go to sailfish top menu → select something that will open a sailfish app → then it will open the android app → now I can put it in background. Really blocking from using the devices properly. Did anyone else run into this?

#54

you can use mkdir -p to ignore error if the directory already exists

#55

Actually managed to figure it out. After having ran the android setup wizard and setting up my google account I made a new system image with the script but removed setupwizarddefault-arm64 and setupwizardtablet-arm64. After rebooting the account was still set up and the annoying thing doesn’t happen anymore.

I changed the part in the script where it deletes files

install_opengapps() {
    unzip "$(get_opengapps_zip)" -d "$TMPWORKDIR/opengapps/"

    for p in $GOOGLE_APPS_REMOVE; do
        rm "$TMPWORKDIR/opengapps/Core/$p-all.tar.lz"
    done

    rm "$TMPWORKDIR/opengapps/Core/setupwizarddefault-arm64.tar.lz"
    rm "$TMPWORKDIR/opengapps/Core/setupwizardtablet-arm64.tar.lz"
    if [ -f "$TMPWORKDIR/opengapps/Core/extservicesgoogle-all.tar.lz" ]; then
        rm -r "$SQUASHFS_ROOT/system/priv-app/ExtServices"

    if [ -f "$TMPWORKDIR/opengapps/Core/extsharedgoogle-all.tar.lz" ]; then
        rm -r "$SQUASHFS_ROOT/system/app/ExtShared"

    mkdir "$TMPWORKDIR/opengapps_2"

Google play services on xperia 10 III Sailfish 4.4.0.64
#63

Also there might be a bug in the audio. It seems like whenever a message comes in from whatsapp the audio switches to loudspeaker and the headphone is no longer recognised unless i try calling via the call app, can anyone help

#64

Guys ive used the script on the new 4.5 update and i used the android 11 pico but the terminal return the umount:/home/.aliendvlik_systemimg_patch/tmp/systemimg_mount:no mount point specified error

Try: devel-su pkcon install unzip

#66

It returns package lready installed

#67

There were some errors with the script and so it was going to clean up and as there was nothing to unmount it was showing that error.

I’ve updated the script and it works for me with Xperia 10 II on 4.5.0.

The changes are to accomodate for:
Android version 11
One of the gapps zips is now appended with arm64
The product directory under system now appears to be a link and can’t be copied to.
