Problem with adding patch to get location working
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)

[Alitoh] How is the GPS now
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

Degoogle Samsung devices
Get UnifiedNLP - essentially does Locations services but not google

Full GPS (Tested) but no tracking of vehicle (Android Auto)
Another option would be to use an other location provider than google, like unifiedNLP.

offline navigation apps & lineage
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?
- "MozillaNlpBackend successfully installed" Should I be worried?

Location Services Not Accurate / Not Working Properly
Here's a link to more location backends, you can rule out 4 or 5 since some are old and others are for China.

LineageOS is currently installed on 1.5M Android devices
Is anyone here daily-driving microg and can share their experiences? https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Implementation-Status does not exactly inspire confidence.

Google Update Reveals AI Will Read All Your Private Messages
...will need to be rewritten to avoid Google Play Services.
Not true.
All that needs to happen is for open source developers to "re-implement Google’s proprietary Android user space apps and libraries".

A closer look at e/OS: Murena's privacy-first 'deGoogled' Android alternative
microG itself connects directly to Google: https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Google-Network-Connec...
No shit, of course they do.
>In general, we obviously try to minimize the connections to Google, but some services strictly rely on them and would just not work without.
What exactly do you think they should do instead?
