[SOLVED] Problem with installation of Google Play and Services on Jolla Tablet.
asked 2016-03-09 12:43:17 +0200
Hi to all.
I have a problem with installation of Google Play and Services to Jolla Tablet.
I used this instruction https://together.jolla.com/question/114608/howto-install-gapps-gplay-google-play-kk-on-tablet/
Also with files from this link and also with latest version of Phonesky.apk (6.2.13) and GmsCore.apk suitable for 4.4.4 for jolla tablet (x86) - (8.4.89_+_2428711-070).
But always have the same problem.... After dalvik restart or phone reboot, both apk files (com.android.vending-1.apk and com.google.android.gms-1.apk) removed from
/opt/alien/data/app
Because they removed, also .desktop files of Store and Services removed as well.
I also opened thread on TMO (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96502), but for now, no one know how to fix this..
Today I decided to try again from scratch... Here you can see all steps and weird stuff:
1. Stop dalvik
2. pkcon remove aliendalvik
3. Checked if need to delete some files manually. Only my .apk files - removed manually. It's cool, in this version of sailfish os, you don't do nothing (almost) after dalvik removing.
4. Reboot
5. Installing Dalvik support from store.
6. Installing Google Play and Services as described in chemist's link.
7. Installed 2 apps from store without any problem, all working perfect.
8. Checked systemctl status aliendalvik
I see this lines:
├─6527 com.google.android.gms
├─6539 com.google.android.gms.persistent
├─6599 com.google.process.gapps
├─7320 com.google.android.gsf.login
└─7934 com.google.android.gms.unstable
a. Why it have 3 process related to services gms ? And one of them unstable?
9. Restart dalvik.
Like before, both apk files (com.android.vending-1.apk and com.google.android.gms-1.apk) removed from
/opt/alien/data/app
and also .desktop files...
10. Checked systemctl status aliendalvik
Now I see this lines:
├─11330 com.google.android.gms.persistent
├─11363 com.google.process.gapps
├─11378 android.process.acore
├─11394 com.google.android.gms
├─11421 com.android.vending
Like you can see, same gms processes (except unstable one). Even vending (Store) here... I'm confused! If they here, why .apk and .desktop files disappeared?
What, it started this processes directly from:
/opt/alien/system/priv-app/GmsCore.apk
/opt/alien/system/priv-app/Phonesky.apk
?
Very weird...
Can someone help me to fix this problem ?
Thanks
UPDATE - 10.03.16
After installation it taken a few seconds and both packages was updated to the last compatible versions.
After this I could restarting aliendalvik and packages not disappeared any more :D
Conclusions:
1. We need use old packages and just wait for update.
2. We can't use updated packages as a first installer like on Jolla Phone for example, even if it completely compatible with our Tablet.
End of story ;)
Try install these gapps: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23311191640114013
