Problems updating Fairphone Open OS with open gapps

[kdh]

Hello, i hope this Question is not already discussed here.
I have fairphone open os installed at my FP2 and additionally the google playstore because i need some of the google apps, they are essentiell for me. The problem now is, that every time after the monthly update of the os, playstore and google services are deleted. The Apps also don’t run any more. I have to reinstall gapps and much worser, i have reinstall most of the google apps again.
Has anyone an explanation or better a solution for this?

A better solution is to install #software:alt-lineageos. There you can use the OTA updates even with modifications and they will still work after the update.

After the latest update (Fairphone Open 18.02.0) all google services stopped working.
Anyone know how to deal with this?

However, you should not loose data or settings, which are stored on your /data partition. If you have not modified your FPOOS …
