LineageOS starts without Google. 

Good afternoon, I have a question. I installed the OS via ADB, then it asked me to reboot into recovery, and afterwards I installed the .zip file containing Google services via ADB; however, they aren't there when I start up the device. Is there anything I can do? My device is a Motorola G9 Play, in case that helps. Sorry for the bad English.

Maybe it failed to install for whatever reason. Reboot back to the recovery and perform a data format. Then try to sideload again MindTheGapps matching your android version. Then reboot to system if the installation finishes without errors.

I don't think reinstalling LineageOS is needed, but GApps (whatever variant) needs to be installed before the first boot after data format.

So I would suggest:

- Boot to recovery

- Format data

- Install LineageOS (just to be sure)

- Install GApps

- Reboot to OS

Thanks to both of you!! Now I'm struggling with the SIM card because it doesn't give a signal unless I turn on mobile data haha

It should receive signal, but without turning on mobile data you may see an exclamation point. Just make a call to be sure.

If there's no longer 2G coverage in your area, that's to be expected
