Please give details when you post such reports.

The issue you most likely have is because you're not using the recommended GApps variant.
Android 10 uses much more spaces in system, even though I reduced it.

I noticed that I downloaded the pico version that you mentioned several times from the oppengapps site, but unfortunately I encountered an error during the installation, so from the site https://download.mokeedev.com/extension.html#gapps
I downloaded and my problem was solved
Sorry for the bad writing I have
Good luck

I'm running both Xperia SP Huashan and Xperia T Mint since early this week, both with OpenGApps 10.0 Pico installed.

If you have an issue, try to look at the OpenGApps log, they create a .log file to see what went wrong.
Also, try to mention which device you have since this covers T, TX and V (I know you have a V Tsubasa).

Thank you very much for solving GPS issue. Now GPS gets a lot of sats. Despite that GPS takes a lot of time for 3D fixing. Is there any solution?

Both my Huashan SP and Mint T got a GPS fix in less than a minute, while being indoor.
I use the "GPS Test" application, which shows satellites in view, in use, strengths, ...

I can't change much about it, it works the way it used to.

Great!
Thanks Adrian

A new release 19/08/2020 is available :

• Enforced SEPolicies security with all rules refactored and cleaned up (if anything looks "blocked", please report with ADB logs)

Mint should be fine, everything looks to be working fine right now with the enforced security.
Hayabusa and Tsubasa need to be tested + I would require first and normal boot ADB logs.
Please PM me ADB logs if you see anything not working / behaving as it should and explain what you did.

Camera is not working in tsubasa

Please turn your device permissive : https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...od-kernel-permissive-patcher-android-t3506338
And send me adb logs after a complete boot.

Tsubasa; Last release (20/08/2020).
I added my logcat. I have just a delay with GPS 3d fix. I tested the hardware and the antenna and all seems ok.

​

Tsubasa release date 20/08/2020 + root.
The Camera phone crashes after taking some photos (16 in my case) and the system becomes instable.

 

[AdrianDC]

A new release 23/08/2020 will be available, on my side, the performance and normal usage have improved a lot :

• Migration to userspace Low Memory Killer daemon (LMKD) instead of the old kernel LMK
• Massive kernel updates against upstream, especially LZ4 and ZRAM (257 commits)
• Additional SEPolicies updates
