Google play services on xperia 10 III Sailfish 4.4.0.64

General
#52

Serious error: /home/.aliendalvik_systeming_patch/tmp/rpms/lzip-1.20-4.fc30.armv7hl.rpm has wrong architecture: armv7hl
umount: /home/.aliendalvik_systemimg_patch/tmp/systemimg_mount: no mount point specified

This came on 4.4.0.72 / 10 III

#53

This has been worked for me on my Xperia 10 III with SFOS 4.5…
I replaced the achitecture stuff simply by aarch64, arm64 and some more.

Enjoy.

Most values could be extracted from phones system so I think it is not so hard to rewrite the script it will used on both archs.

#55

Thanks for all the good work here. Is anyone maintaining a proper GitHub repo for these scripts, do we know?

#56

After installed sailfish 4.5 google play services stopped to work/ update. How I can make it update again. Sorry my poor english. I use the install gapps script.

#57

That’s what I get:

extract image
Copying original image /opt/alien/system.img to /home/.aliendalvik_systemimg_patch/system.img.orig.20230329T130144
image was extracted
install open gapps
Unzip open gapps archive
Searching for Open GApps zip at /home/defaultuser/Downloads//open_gapps-arm64-11.0-pico-*.zip
Opening Open GApps download page
-bash: –: Tiedostoa tai hakemistoa ei ole
unzip: cannot find or open , .zip or .ZIP.
umount: /home/.aliendalvik_systemimg_patch/tmp/systemimg_mount: no mount point specified.

Edit: nevermind, it can be found here: OpenGApps - Browse /arm64/20220503 at SourceForge.net

CosmicStars’ script works, and no problems with google play, though its not available in Android emulation (some apps need it)

#58

Yes it works, but google play services are not updated. Some apps like IL Paras sää( finnish weather app) doesn’t show a rain map, but there is a notification that google play services are being updated. I’m running sailfish 4.5.0.19

#59

Can anybody helps me out with this? I’ve the 32bit Xperia 10 and sailfish 4.4… How to rhn the script ? Adapt the script ? Thx otherwise well… Bye google
EDIT: The script for the Xperia XA2 worked brilliant on my Xperia 10 I. I modified /home/nemo to /home/defaultuser. That’s all.
here it is opengappsinstallerforxperia10markI.sh - Google Drive

#60

Does the gps data work for both goigle maps and whatsap, viber. When I use the script gps is not triggered from viber, whatsap or glympse but works great with some i
other apps like organic maps or here wego

#61

You could try if starting a SFOS App which uses GPS like GPSInfo before starting an Android App which does not trigger the gps helps.

#62

I have tested, while google maps has gps data, the other apps does not get it. As if sinething is broken for a group of apps but gps is working perfectly for others.

#63

GPS didn’t work very well on my XA2 plus it took forever for it to find my location.
On my X10III it works as expected.

#64

Did you manage to fix it. Could someone post link with working script file to download?

#65

yes got it working and working script was in this post

need also file which is mentioned here: Google play services on xperia 10 III Sailfish 4.4.0.64 - #57 by Tekno

#66

I get the following error:

Erreur fatale: /home/.aliendalvik_systemimg_patch/tmp/rpms/lzip-1.16-1.fc22.armv7hl.rpm has wrong architecture: armv7hl
umount: /home/.aliendalvik_systemimg_patch/tmp/systemimg_mount: no mount point specified.

I am on the latest SF version

In 4.6.0, looks like a refactor is necessary at least for SYSTEM_IMG=/opt/{alien -> appsupport}/system.img. Not sure yet if that’s all there is, since appsupport service is currently failing to start after 4.6.0 update [Release notes] Sauna 4.6.0.11 - #33 by lkraav

#68

I changed the SYSTEM_IMG path and used open_gapps-arm64-11.0-pico-20220503.zip
Play Store works but the apps are unable to see Play Services. I had microG before this update.

#69

You removed all tracs of MicroG?

But even on clean install, I’ve had a couple apps fail to find Play Services, even if majority seem to work fine.

#70

I just had to install the apps again. For apps that have data that I don’t want to lose I downloaded an older apk with Aurora store and then
appsupport-attach sh
pm install -d /path/to/apk.apk

And after that it is possible to update it with Play store. So this was a microG thing.

I have successfully booted 4.6.0 App Support with this slightly updated script fork Sony 10 III - Dual SIM (arm64) | Sailfish OS 4.6 | Android 11 | Open GApps pico installation script · GitHub

Thanks @nemishkor for getting the gist started.
