You should fill in the information about your device. If you are using android 13, you have to use a different way to install open gapps. Uninstall open gapps and reinstall it according to the guide.

fydeOS 18.1 was using Android 9, it upgraded after I accepted the prompt, it’s now fydeOS 19 but no access to Android settings.
It worked perfectly with fydeOS 18.1.

btw the link how to install GApps doesn’t work in your signature!

I used this advice & it worked, but I had to start from scratch with fydeOS 19 image, update from 18.1 does not work for me.
Android used is version 9.

On a Acer Chromebook Spin 15 with ChromeOS 126 disabling rootfs verification destroys the ability to boot using ctrl-u or ctrl-l
