MyLocation VS UnifiedNlp

try this app https://github.com/mirfatif/MyLocation : click on lock GPS, and the GPS will eventually find your position. the issue is that without this app the location keeps on getting reinitialized.

there's another app (free and open source) that is also good (and has an option to clear agps data). it's called MyLocation found here.

My Location (version 102): Know your geo coordinates using on-device GPS and Network location providers

Hello, I'm trying to add microG to my OS by following the microG wiki (very well written!) However, I'm not able to add the additional patch(https://github.com/microg/UnifiedNlp/blob/master/patches/android_frameworks_base-N.patch) to make location work (mentioned here - https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Installation)

https://github.com/microg/UnifiedNlp - acts as a middle ware for multiple backends which have network location features.

MicroG has a list of NLP modules. Afaik it doesn't harm having several installed and working concurrently. The list here: https://github.com/microg/UnifiedNlp

Get UnifiedNLP - essentially does Locations services but not google

Another option would be to use an other location provider than google, like unifiedNLP.

I assume you are talking about microG. I have no personal experience with this because I've always just installed Gapps, but I wasn't under the impression UnifiedNLP or similar required microG. The installation instructions for UnifiedNLP just talk about downloading a couple APKs, and maybe installing as system apps (https://github.com/microg/UnifiedNlp/blob/HEAD/README.md). I do see that the app itself is made by the microG project, but it does make the claim (in several places I've found while searching) that "most" ROMs support it. What am I missing?

Here's a link to more location backends, you can rule out 4 or 5 since some are old and others are for China.
