[SOLVED PARTIALLY] Google services not working and missing Google Services Framework ID - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I've successfully flashed Lenovo P70-A with LineageOS 15.1 using this thread: {Mod edit: Link removed}
The system works but Google services are not working. Right after boot, there is an error "Speech Services by Google keeps stopping" and the system gets stuck on checking for updates - which had to be skipped. I cannot log in to Google Account nor finish the setup afterwards.
Using this command from here ( https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/ ) I discovered there is no Google Services Framework (GSF) ID on the device:
Code:
adb shell 'sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db \
"select * from main where name = \"android_id\";"'
TWRP 3.0.2-4 SevenMaxs
LineageOS 15.1 (Android 8.1)
SuperSU 2.82-SR5
I have tried flashing Open GApps pico, nano, mini, and MindTheGApps 8.1.0 none of which got me working Google services.
I have flashed in the order of LineageOS -> SuperSU -> OpenGApps, not booting inside LineageOS until the flashing is finished.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you

Hello and good afternoon, @asmarcz
I've removed the reference to 4pda! 4pda is not only another phone related website (and not at all affiliated with xda-developers) but also well known for the distribution of malware and warez. Links or references to 4pda are not accepted on XDA.
XDA Forum Rules (excerpt):
...
6. Do not post or request warez.
If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, then pay for it. We do not accept warez nor do we permit members to request, post, promote or describe ways in which warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained or used. This is a site of developers, i.e. the sort of people who create such software. When you cheat a software developer, you cheat us as a community.
(...)
11. Don’t post with the intention of selling something.
Don’t use XDA to advertise your product or service. Proprietors of for-pay products or services, may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or a free version of their product for XDA users and to offer support, but not to post with the intention of selling. This includes promoting sites similar / substantially similar to XDA-Developers.com.
Do not post press releases, announcements, links to trial software or commercial services, unless you’re posting an exclusive release for XDA-Developers.com.
Encouraging members to participate in forum activities on other phone related sites is prohibited.
Off-site downloads are permitted if the site is non-commercial and does not require registration.
Off-site downloads from sites requiring registration are NOT encouraged but may be permitted if both of the following conditions are met:
A) The site belongs to a member of XDA-Developers with at least 1500 posts and 2 years membership, who actively maintains an XDA-Developers support thread(s) / posts, related to the download.
B) The site is a relatively small, personal website without commercial advertising / links (i.e. not a competitor forum-based site with purposes and aims similar to those of XDA-Developers.com.)

And what's with NikGapps? Right version 32 bit?

I cannot use NikGApps as they only support Android 10+. Besides, I have 64-bit firmware running.

Test other gapps https://www.xda-developers.com/download-google-apps-gapps/

For some reason, after flashing it for about the 15th time with the exact same steps, OpenGApps pico has worked and the problem is now solved. I have no idea what has made it work.
Other than that, I couldn't test NikGApps and FlameGApps as they are incompatible.
OpenGApps pico/nano/micro and MindTheGApps weren't working previously. BiTGApps has made the device bootloop.
