I don't know, we didn't test it. It looks promising, but I can't give any evidence. It has to be tested first.

anyway I bought a MicroSD in promo on amazon.
I attach the link:

This looks very promising.

is there a way to download an older version of emteria say 0.5.11 which was working?

I'm currently writing this on 5.11, I have had gapps for sometime. Now launcher is crashing very often, apps that take 80mb of CPU mostly crash. Is gapps not working with v5.16?

They do, but they need a long time to settle down and you have to wait after each boot.

How long does it usually takefor the wait (if you know) after each boot?

IKS

After the initial setup (which can take up to several hours and multipe restarts)? It depends on the device, sd card and other apps... maybe a couple of minutes?

Darkplatinum

Basically after the initial setup I should get gapps and let it run overnight?

IKS

From what I have heard, you should leave it for 2-3 hours and restart manually. Multiple times.

In my case I have to wait for approx. 45 minutes. You can work during this time, but the system performance is very bad.

@IKS the solution I proposed worked!

I did some tests and putting a MicroSD type A1 the system is much more stable, faster and I was able to install the Playstore.
"System Optimization" disappeared at the second start and did not appear anymore.
The Playstore is very stable, except when you need to install apps. I suggest direct installation from the search menu instead of selecting the application and installing it from there.

I attach links for reference on which model I have purchased:

I would like to know whether other people have solved the problem with this solution.

Awesome, thanks for sharing! I think it will be a little bit too expensive for most users, but it is definitely good to know. We will add this hit to our help tutorial.

I am very pleased about this.
If I have any news on this, I will be happy to share it with the community.

This sounds very promising. I'll probably be testing the performance improvements of A2 rated cards as well.

Has anyone found success using GAPPS using one of these? https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extreme-microSD-UHS-I-Adapter/dp/B07FCMBLV6/
Much cheaper (and in stock) on amazon with a higher IOPs rating (A2 instead of A1)

edit: after more research, it seems like the originally recommended extreme PRO has v90 write speeds while the card I mention has v30 speeds. Nevertheless, if someone can vouch for the v30 card, it would be very helpful!

I don't think the speed of the SD card is going to make much difference.

Update: You are right. This new SD card made no difference. GAPPS is still unusable.
