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

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.

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

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.

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.

Thank you! Worked like a charm

First of all thanks for your corrections at the code.
I think there are small typos in it.
At the beginning (before set -e) there should be #!/bin/sh string.
At _find_opengapps() function (row 101 adding the #!/bin/sh above), the download variable should be equal to /home/defaultuser/Downloads and not /home/defaultuser/Downloads/ because, with the slash at the end, at runtime it will return /home/defaultuser/Downloads//name_pattern="open_gapps-$OPENGAPPS_ARCH-$OPENGAPPS_API-$OPENGAPPS_VARIANT-*.zip" (double slashes after Downloads).
In this way the code worked for me after the 4.6.0.11 update.
