Ok, I checked how it on Jolla phone... It not have .odex files for this 4 files...
Probably, this is not a problem...
What interesting that on the phone after installation, vending and gms files in /opt/alien/data/app is root:root and all other system:system.
On the tablet, after installation both vending and gms is system:system like other.
For the test I changed it to root:root like in the phone and restarted dalvik. Immediately, when dalvik started both files disappeared from /opt/alien/data/app like before... Also tried to change to different chmod, but same result... Really weird...

Haaaa.... Joy was premature

It worked partially...
I started completely from scratch, I removed all files/folders related to gms and vending, from different directories, completely all (I hope)...

And now my steps:
1. Stop aliendalvik
2. Transfer 4 files to:

Code:

/opt/alien/system/priv-app

3. chmod 0664 to all 4 files
4. Start aliendalvik
5. install Phonesky.apk and GmsCore.apk:

Code:

apkd-install /opt/alien/system/priv-app/GmsCore.apk /opt/alien/system/priv-app/Phonesky.apk

6. Checking if all working. OK
7. Copy Phonesky.apk and GmsCore.apk to

Code:

/opt/alien/data/app

but with changed names:

Code:

com.android.vending.apk
com.google.android.gms.apk

Now is interesting part

8. Restart aliendalvik
9. Like before it automatically removed both files:

Code:

/opt/alien/data/app/com.android.vending-1.apk
/opt/alien/data/app/com.google.android.gms-1.apk

but if you will check now this folder

Code:

/opt/alien/data/app

you will see your copied and renamed files

Code:

com.android.vending.apk
com.google.android.gms.apk

And icons not disappeared from homescreen.
Checked also after reboot and lipstick restart, both files here and icons on homescreen.

Now is interesting part 2

10. Google Play store is working !!! Allow me to download and remove apps.
Probably, it somewhere stored information about correct first installation and aliendalvik think that your copied and renamed packages is original installed...
BUT !!! Sometimes came popup windows with error from google services

And some apps don't want to work correctly because of this, sometimes also crashed...

I'm tired from this war and at the end I again was completely removed all this stuff and returned to use my auto installer

End of story...

Ok, tested again from scratch...
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
7. Installed 2 apps from store
8. Checked systemctl status aliendalvik
I see this lines:

Code:

├─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 removed from

Code:

/opt/alien/data/app

and also .desktop files...

10. Checked systemctl status aliendalvik
Now I see this lines:

Code:

├─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?
And what, it start this processes directly from

Code:

/opt/alien/system/priv-app/GmsCore.apk
/opt/alien/system/priv-app/Phonesky.apk

?

Very weird...

Ok. Finally I got it working, and I have figured out how it should work.
Andrey, it worked from your link (tjc). 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

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

P.S. Someone know why it can't use updated packages as a first installer ? Maybe before installing them, we need remove some data from some specific folders ?
But probably it will not work again, I tried with updated packages after purging aliendalvik, but got same result...

P.S2. if someone need installer, PM me
