Google play services on Sailfish 4.1

General
#21

@Gouneesz the script “stuck” at the point where it should install an incompatible package (armv7hl).
That is why it works on XA2, but not in our Xperia 10ii!
Looks like we 're gonna have to do it manually! :slight_smile:

#22

Ok. But I don’t know how. I don’t have any skills with linux…

The script doesn’t work for xperia 10 II because it needs the 64 vit version of lzip. Here is my modified script that works. Before running you also need to install unzip and rsync if not already installed using these commands in terminal:

devel-su pkcon install unzip
devel-su pkcon install rsync

Here’s the script:

#!/bin/sh


set -e

I’m hopeless. Still no luck

#25

@Gouneesz
Don’t know whether this resource points you in the right direction:
https://linuxhandbook.com/run-shell-script/

#26

You should wrap your sh script inside

code tags like ` some
code `
which will look then
some code

or maybe just prepend >

some
code

lines

or simple normal quote?

or

#some
lines

of code

Last approach, so wrap it like
[code]
some
lines
of code
[/code]

#27

Thanks, fixed above now

#28

here’s my script hope it helps

For any late comers to this thread and avoid any future confusion, remember for Xperia 10II need to use script by anig which includes for 64-bit Sailfish:
FEDORA22_REPO=https://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/30/Everything/aarch64/os/Packages
whilst for earlier devices that from ubuntuscofield which has:

Copy install_opengapps.sh (by anig)and opengapps arm64 pico 10 to the Downloads folder but gets an error message when installing(./install_opengapps.sh) “Bash: ./install_opengapps.sh: not found”. Sony xperia 10 II.

#31

I think I had the same problem. Solution for me was that I had windows line endings on the .sh file and linux like Sailfish cannot understand Windows line endings. So after I changed line endings to linux style the script works on my Xperia 10 II.

#32

How can I do it? Linux style? I have only windows pc.

what? you have arm64 sailfishos for XA2 ? custom build or Xperia 10ii image?

#34

How did you do it? Change to linux style

#35

For instance in Visual Studio Code you can change line endings. In Windows line endings are CRLF and in Linux LF.

#36

Ok. Thanks. Now I get it done.

I have been running the Google Play Store for years on my XA2, however, since upgrading to 4.0 (I skipped a few upgrades), the Play Store doesn’t run (it starts loading, then shows a black screen). I ran the script above using the 32-bit pico v10 gapps. Do I need to reinstall Play Store, or what am I missing?

Also, after installing the new gapps, I have another strange problem: My previously installed apps (those that still work) refuse to go to the background. I have to shut them down, I can’t swipe from the side to put them in the background.

EDIT: I figured it out. I am still on Sailfish 4.0, so Android 10 is not compatible. I downloaded the gapps v9 pico, went into your script and changed the 10.0 to 9.0, and after running the script the Google Play Store and all the apps are working perfectly again! Thanks for the script!

Hello
Thank you for the script. However, I can see that your script refers to ‘nemo’. Beware that on fresh install since 4.0, the default user is ‘defaultuser’. You should replace ‘/home/nemo’ with ‘$HOME’ and ‘runuser -l nemo …’ with ‘runuser -l $USER …’ for the script to work on any install.
